Enjoyed our stay

Place was decorated nicely, especially liked the furniture placement. Kings size bed is nice to have in main bedroom, but it was much too soft for my back. Ended up sleeping in the other bedroom which had a much firmer mattress. Nice large Tv with netflix. Pool water was much cleaner and clearer this year.

Nice stay

Great location and nicely updated . However, the condo could use a deep clean . The floors were still dirty upon arrival with food on the kitchen floors . All of the walls needs to be wiped down and curtains / shower curtains could use a wash . Great location and easy access to beach. Could just have been cleaner

Secret piece of Heaven

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this property. Many more pros than cons, so I’ll list some of each! Pros: very clean, starter supplies PLUS extra pantry supplies, very clean and comfortable furniture in all rooms (including living room and dining room), very quiet (here during Spring Break and basically no noises anywhere!), nice appliances, loved the new washer/dryer, nicely decorated, easy check-in and check-out, great little binder with info Cons: Could use a good scrubbing on the floor closet tracks in the master bathroom, mildew on the shower liner (it happens!), and screen and sliding door to balcony was a little hard to maneuver. This wasn’t really a problem for us because it prevented our 1 year old from opening it. Would definitely love to come back here. Thank you!

St Simon’s condo

Overall, our stay was wonderful. Loved the condo and the amenities. Did not get to enjoy the beach very much however. It was quite a trek from the condo. Much further than was expected. Because of this we spent most of the time at the pool. There was also construction going on the entire week at the property. They would start early in the morning so we had to buy earplugs so the kids could sleep. I couldn’t let my daughter and her friend (15 and 16) walk alone on the property because the workers made them feel uncomfortable. None of this is a knock on the property as it was great. We really loved the calm and laid back atmosphere overall. We loved the island and all the great restaurants and food options. We will definitely return to the area in the future.

The instructions were comprehensive and arrival went smooth. It is a bit of a hike to the beach and if it rains it is more difficult. The condo was clean but like most it lacked some essentials like a basic cleaning spray. The salt and pepper (I don't expect more) were not new and new costs ver little. Cooking pans were limited but we made do. This condo is comfortable for 2 adults and maybe 1-2 children, anymore and it would be a bit small. The beach towels were good, as were the beach chairs (4 were provided), but no umbrellas?!? There was a small shelter provided and if you had small children it would be useful. Since we were a Father/Son adult trip not so much. Anytime we contacted the manager support the response was friendly and prompt. ait seems most, if not all of the condos on St Simon are some distance from the beach and many had bodies of water blocking access to the beach, a hike but no pond in the way from this condo. Overall, a very good experience.

NO phone number for help!!

Our code would not unlock door to our unit. No phone number to help us. No manger on property. We ended up finding a handy man to help us. It then took 1 hour in heat of 100 to get in our unit. The owner was very nice and helpful but if we had had a phone number. It would have been so much easier. Will never go through an online reservation again. I will go through local realtors

March Stay

We had a nice time on the island but the accommodations did not live up to their billing. At the time we arrived, the security gate was not working and the property manager on-site did not answer the phone. In fact, voicemail was indicated as filled. Problem was resolved fairly quickly but set the tone for a fair but not great experience. Two things stood out to us: the pictures of the property give the impression that it's a fairly large two bedroom unit. It's actually quite small. Second, we enjoy television at night but could not watch anything on the main TV because it wasn't a smart TV and the system in place was incomprehensible to maneuver. Suggest either changing the TV or the Infintiy System being used. Other small annoyances were not that big a deal. We would not stay here again. The cost was quite high and given the accommodations, definitely not worth it.

This was advertised exactly like it said. It's very nice conco and sitting on the covered porch is great way to relax. It's a quiet area yet close to everything. We didn't stay inside very much because we were busy walking on the beach, shopping, and eating downtown. The master bed was very comfortable.

Parking lot was the only challenge as sometimes there were no open spaces. However, all was quiet in this location! We will definitely book again!
