Family Fourth Fun

We enjoyed our stay at the highland house. The house was as advertised and mid island so just a quick drive to beach , shopping and restaurants. Other reviewers mentioned bare minimum on toiletries and kitchen supplies so I knew ahead of time to bring extra toiletries and kitchen supplies. The beds were very comfortable. The water pressure in the bathrooms was great and the bathroom towels were of high quality, plush and super soft. The backyard is really pretty ,fenced in, well manicured and relaxing to hang out on the patio. The house was well kept and clean. The only negative I had and why I can only give 3 stars for cleanliness because we killed 2 roaches in the dining room living room area so it needs to be sprayed for bugs. I don’t like bugs and seeing one let alone 2 roaches is too many for me. Overall it’s a great well kept house.

Another Great Saint Simons Getaway

We love Saint Simons Island and have returned for our annual family vacation for nearly 15 years. This property enhanced our 2023 getaway. The management company and VRBO made finding this property, check in and check out seamless. The management company was very responsive to our every need. The home was spotless, just as advertised. There were even a few extras we did not anticipate, like real ground coffee for our first few mornings, very nice dish-ware (Royal Daulton), well over a hundred DVD’s and much more. Plenty of sheets and comforters for the comfy beds, plenty of towels and face cloths. Each room is tastefully decorated. Lots of hot water and great water pressure for our after beach day showers. We were well pleased. Thank you!

Restful retreat.

This house is everything it said it would be! The house was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything you'll need for a stay filled with peace and relaxation! It was a great location to island hop between Saint Simons and Jekyll. The house is close to restaurants and shopping, including a grocery store that's not even five minutes away. Just what we needed and definitely would rebook this house again!!

Relaxing getaway

We loved our stay here! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. We appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, as we did some cooking as well as eating out. Everything was comfortable, but we especially enjoyed eating meals at the table on the back patio and reading in the light-filled living room. The property management team was very helpful and prompt in responding to our questions. The location was perfect for easily accessing the beach, Pier Village, and the shops at Redfern Village. We had a wonderful time!

Beautiful 3 bedroom house

The house was immaculate. Very well equipped kitchen with all the necessary equipment. It was nice having 2 full bathrooms with plush towels and shampoo, conditioner dispensers. The house was cozy and nicely decorated. We had access to the full house and back yard. The bonus TV room has surround sound and an extensive collection of DVD's. Great location close to restaurants, shops and the beach. It was nice to be able to hose off sand with the garden hose set up by the front door. Would highly recommend

Fantastic Higland House

This is a well decorated home and great location. Only a few minutes ride to the beach, Lighthouse, groocery store and restaurants. The Kitchen was very well equipped. Only needs tall 16-20 oz glasses. We loved the blue color coordination throughout the house. Lots of extra linen. And we were blown away by the huge first aid kit in the master bathroom area. Wow!! It actually came in handy for a cut. The internet was spotty and the TV cable did not work in the main area. The realtor attempted to fix it throughout our stay but was unable to get it. The den was a life saver. We would highly recommend this home and would stay there again if in the area.
