Shipwatch #304 - 2 bed/2 bath St. Simons Island

Great location and property. Access to the beach was wet due to the Nor’easter and we had to use Massingale Park, just down the road. Beach was perfect for the day and stay!

Dissapointing.Beach access not as advertized. Pathway to beach was very narrow and unsafe due to rain. Room was ok, location a little too far from light house.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Each year I extend my work trip to include a vacation. Real Escapes always assists me with making this transition easy.

We loved the location! The room had everything we needed. Great pool and beach access too! We hope to return!

Good location

Very quiet property. Convenient to dining and shopping. Highly recommend.

This property is a condo unit, with rental properties on all sides. The area is more crowded than it appears on the listing, but the population seems to be more low key, families having a good time, not a late night party scene. The unit is beautiful, tastefully decorated, updated furnishings and flooring, although one can observe that it is an older unit. The layout is great! This unit does not overlook the ocean, but if you look closely you can see the ocean from the balcony. The balcony view is gorgeous southern foliage, not another building. The walk to the beach is a private walkway, but it is longer than it appears in the listing. Our next stay, we will choose a unit number ending in 00 or 02 for the best ocean views.

Our condo unit was clean, neat, and well-equipped with towels, silverware, plates, and coffeemaker. Our unit was on the third floor and there is a good elevator, plus luggage carts to help with loading and unloading the car. We had no trouble with any appliances, and the unit does include a small washer and dryer which was great. The internet, TV, and cable all worked smoothly and according to the provided passwords and instructions. We came down after work so had to do after-hours check-in, which could not have been easier. The Real Escapes property office was timely and clear with their emails and also left me a voicemail, and everything worked just the way they said. The pool was nice and the boardwalk to the beach was well-maintained. You WILL want to bring bug spray for the walk to the beach. It is a fairly long walk through the dunes, and there is lots of greenery that is home to lots of bugs. It would probably be easiest to have a beach wagon if you have kids and/or stuff to bring out to the beach.

Unit was a bit dated, but was perfect for us. It was clean and convenient to everything we wanted to do. St.Simon Island is a really cool beach town, if you are familiar with small beach towns. Would definitely recommend this unit. Property managers were very nice and helpful with recommendations. Great visit.
