Reviews

This place was perfect for our stay. We had enough room for six adults to stay and be comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make numerous family dinners. The backyard was private, the grill was clean and the pool was great helping us beat the Georgia heat. The place was very clean, which made it easy to relax and have fun. Most of all, it was a four minute walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay

by Scott
We\'ve been coming to St. Simons for decades, stayed in all kinds of houses, hotels, and condos, and this was one of the best accommodations we\'ve had. Comfortable, clean, spacious and convenient to the beach and the village. Our family loved it.
