Dog-Friendly Cottage by the Beach with Private Pool, Pool Spa, & Free WiFi

The kitchen was not fully equippedThere was one wine glassThere was no coffee or coffee podsThe oven was very dirty but worse - the oven did not work so we were not able to cook dinner especially since there was no outdoor grill either - we called the host to remedy it - I don’t know if they fixed itOne if the bedrooms had a bed that blocked the bathroom door so our guest had to climb over the bed to get to the bathroom

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the house was as pictured. The house was very clean.We thought that the location was excellent, 10 to 15 minute walk from the pier and lots of restaurants/dining. If you travel during the off-season, be prepared for restaurants to close by 8pm. Exterior of the home could use some TLC. There were multiple deck boards that needed to be replaced. The fencing was falling apart in multiple areas. Be aware if you are bringing dogs with you that you should take them out on a leash so that they cannot escape the yard.If you were going to pay to have the pool heated, please be aware that it is a spa and not a hot tub. Pool and hot tub are unable to be heated beyond 78. We spent nearly 300 to have this heated for our stay and unfortunately, because the temperatures were in the upper 60s/low 70s we did not get to utilize the pool in the way that we had wanted. We did request that the temperature be raised, but were told that it could not be adjusted any higher. The listing also reports that there are subscriptions for multiple streaming services, which is untrue. There is a fire stick and Roku, but you have to log into your own accounts. We had to replace the batteries in the fire stick multiple times during our stay. Replacement batteries were not provided. Overall, for the cost of the stay and the ability to travel with our dogs, I think we would consider staying here again, but would definitely consider this a low/no-frills stay.

BEWARE : This is a catfish property. There were open electrical outlets and an exposed live wire hanging from the ceiling. Vacasa sent someone out to tie it up higher where it was unreachable. The house has clearly not had any maintenance in a long time. The pictures are over 10 years old. There were nails sticking out of the floor in the upstairs bathroom in front of the toilet and concrete tiles missing in the pool area and the fence is falling away from the property. The deck has rotten and loose boards. The upstairs lookout area (which is not open to guest bc the railings fell off) is so hot that we had to put a blanket up to block the hot air. The mattress upstairs is unsleepable. There is a metal cage covering on the front door that can be unlocked where someone can open and undo the deadbolt and enter the home. EVERYTHING was dilapidated or broken. The gas oven only had a couple eyes working, the lights and fan knob was only usable with pliers and that eventually broke off and we could not turn the lights off, shutters were broken, creeping fig has grown over the whole property and we had to pull it away from steps because we were getting our feet caught in the vines. The property needs A LOT of work and we were informed that the owner won’t approve the improvements, but Vacasa is still renting it like it’s up to par. I don’t have enough time to list my disappointment and frustration that I was catfished with this property. Toilet back were broken, no tub stop for the

You can’t beat the location of this property. However, there are many things that need work. For example, the pool heater is broken. Most light fixtures don’t work and common amenities like a washer and dryer have issues.

Great location for myself and 7 other adults to stay, however there were several issues we encountered while we stayed and still have not heard back from anyone to discuss. Unfortunately, there was a large rain storm and the entire property flooded, including the backyard with the pool which made the pool unusable for the entire trip, which is why we chose the house to stay in. Several sections of the flooring were missing and the upstairs shower did not drain making it unusable. These items were reported through Vacasa 3 times, and I have still yet to hear from anyone about it. During the flood, there were also visible sparks coming from the outdoor lighting. There were also several spots of rain leaking through the roof and down the wall throughout the home. Some of our guests experienced a mildew smell in the bedding- and please beware if you are traveling with adults, three of the beds are much smaller than the rest with two bunk bed mattresses on the floor. It is unfortunate that throughout all of these concerns, we could not get any response from the property managers to discuss. Blame cannot be placed for a large storm, but the aftermath was handled poorly.

The house was a good size for our group and the location is great and walkable to town. However, the house could’ve used a more in depth cleaning before hand and was a little warm.

We recently stayed at this home on St. Simons and overall had a good experience, mostly due to the great location. It's close to everything, and the neighborhood is lovely. The house itself definitely has good bones but could use some updates. It has a bit of a shabby feel, but nothing that stopped us from enjoying our time.A few things to note: the downstairs AC doesn’t work very well. We were there during cooler weather, so it wasn’t a huge issue, but I imagine it could be pretty uncomfortable in the summer. The stove also has several burners that don’t work, which was a bit frustrating when trying to cook.The top bunk bed is really only suitable for a small child—there's not much headroom or legroom up there. That said, the outdoor pool area is nice and was one of our favorite spots to hang out and relax.All in all, the house needs some TLC, but the location and layout make it a solid choice if you’re not expecting luxury. We'd stay again, especially if some of the little issues get addressed.

Great location in great place!

Good location - close to town and beach. VRBO photos of property need to be more current. Exterior lighting entering/exiting the home could be brighter - missing bulbs. Heated spa/pool could be warmer. Musty smell upon entering property home most times. Missing the weber grill that was in backyard photo. Wouid have wanted to grill outdoors a night or two. Lighter fluid was located below sink so where was the grill?Oven did not heat up!! What’s the trick??

Not good. The yard is overgrown and needs love. The pool needs drained and cleaned. The furniture in the common living area is old. The tv in the LR didnt work. The wifi didnt work. The management compamy doewnt qork. The front door needs a serious replacementm good luck with this rental!

Booked this place 8 months in advance. The phone number given to contact the host is not a working number. Inquired 3 different times about having the pool heated. Didn’t get an answer back until the day of check-in. Right before check in, we were told the downstairs a/c was not working. Everything except one bedroom is on the bottom floor, so essentially the entire house was without a/c for the entirety of our stay. NO A/C! we were given a couple cheap box fans and a small portable a/c that was useless. The “heated jacuzzi” that I paid extra for, was barely warm. 85°. The ceiling fan in the living room has a big sign that says “fan is decorative only”. This seems to be what the host does with any item that doesn’t work—instead of getting it fixed. We were told on our first day that the a/c was to be fixed ASAP, and that it would probably be done before we checked in. Come to find out, the host got a few estimates to fix the issue, but the estimates were “more than they were willing to pay”, so we went without a/c for the entirety of our 5 day stay. There was a tarp suspended over the pool for shade. It had so much debris/broken tree branches/dirt on it that it was sagging down about 2 feet over the pool at the lowest point. The pool was also FILTHY. The house water was shut off for 24 hours at one point too. We couldn’t shower/use bathrooms that day. Last day I found roaches in the master bathroom also. I wish I had more space to write. DON’T STAY HERE.

Great home with plenty of space. Fantastic outdoor space with nice dipping pool. Would definitely stay at again!
