Long weekend stay
Very clean and cozy. Nice big kitchen and dining area. We loved the location in the middle of everything going on, but still tucked away. Very interesting decor, we enjoyed each new discovery in the space. You are quite thoughtful in how it was all brought together. We will stay again:)

Spring Break
The house was perfect! Easy walk to the beach. It was even close enough for my wife to walk back and forth to the restroom. Short walk to great restaurants and not too far from downtown. The neighborhood was quiet and the back porch swing was awesome!! Wesley was great and checked in on regularly to make sure everything was okay. We would definitely try and stay here again!

Nice stay at St. Simons
We did have a relaxing stay and the location in proximity to the beach was very good. It’s walking distance to several restaurants and local shops so getting places was a breeze. I wouldn’t really categorize the house as a true beach house as it lacked some of the amenities that you would typically find in a beach rental. There were no hoses or outdoor showers to rinse off after going to the beach or to rinse off chairs etc. The outdoor porch was covered and was very peaceful and relaxing. However, the interior decor definitely lacks a beach feel and I wouldn’t really consider it family friendly. If you have kids, this might not be the ideal location. Rugs are animal skins, lots of breakable decor, etc. mostly a mid century modern decor which is not bad, just a little different for a beach rental. Bathrooms were nicely remodeled and we really enjoyed them. A few items I think the owner should address: -notify renters when the location is under construction. Lots of early morning drilling, tile cutting etc. is not an ideal beach getaway. -fix the door lock situation. Locks wouldn’t work at check in and we gave up on one of them through our stay and had to use just the side door. -missing door handle on bedroom 2 was a real problem. We had to use a knife to open and close the door since it latched without a handle. I would consider that a serious fire code issue that should be a priority to fix. -bedroom 1 AC unit was very noisy. We turned it off and wanted to use the ceiling fan instead. No can do because there’s no fan. Just a hole in the ceiling with exposed wires. We slept with AirPods to try to drown out the AC unit noise. -finding a pile of men’s underwear in the laundry room was an unpleasant surprise along with trash on the covered porch at check in. I think the house has lots of potential and again the proximity to the beach is great. Take our feedback at face value. We did have a nice week and appreciated the hospitality! Thanks!

Wonderful and relaxing!
This property is really great. Its located in a centrally located area-easy to walk or bike to beach or village. The neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet. The rental is updated and well appointed. Towels were nice and thick, beds had cozy comforters and a variety of pillows -ones to accommodate both my husband and I. The side screened in porch was so relaxing. We had our morning coffee there and finished off the day watching a movie with a glass of wine. Great weekend!

Charming home in historic neighborhood setting.
We loved every bit of this lovely home! Excellent attention to the details that really matter for a vacation stay-super comfortable beds, crisp linens, absolutely gorgeous and spacious yard, plenty of space to visit with our family. We appreciated the parking accommodations provided in such a small setting, too. Owners are very responsive and helpful every step of the way.

Really nice cottage - super convenient
I shared the cottage with my husband and another couple. We were very comfortable and enjoyed being around the corner from the Crab Trap, the coffee shop, and the beach. We also walked into the main downtown area several times, which was a nice stretch of the legs. The cottage itself is super cute and clean - I loved the plants surrounding it. We hung out on the screened porch every afternoon, made breakfast in the kitchen, watched movies in the living room and overall had a really wonderful trip. Thank you!
