We've been vacationing at SSI for 18 years. We really enjoyed this cottage experience and will definitely consider booking it again. Great location, amenities etc. Benji was really easy to work with as well...
We loved staying at this property which is within easy walking distance to the beach. It was a fantastic bonus to have a private pool as well and we enjoyed this every day. The decor in this home is bright, beachy, and comfortable. We will definitely return to this property on our next visit!
Location was perfect! Short walk to the beach. Great get away with the kids to wrap up Summer before school starts.
2 Families with 4 girls who loved the kids room and just a short walk to the beach and pool in the backyard!
It’s a very nice place, within walking distance to beach. Just make sure to keep linens, towels, and furniture clean or they will charge you. We felt like you had to be on your “ps and qs” as far as ensuring nothing was stained or soiled due to spillage or make up. Overall, it was wonderful though. I just want to give a heads up to anyone with children.
Great location to the beach!
Great
Nice house to accommodate our family. Perfect distance to all you want on the island. Will stay again.
The remodel is charming and the location is perfect, but the interior needs a serious deep clean. The shower grout is moldy, the fridge water spout and plate had mold/algae growing on it, the kitchen sink faucet also had mold, washing machine is moldy, and even the dishwasher had mold inside (likely from sitting since a repair man had to come out during our stay). Every single vent is coated in thick layers of dust. The floors are disgusting…we walked around for a few minutes and the bottoms of our feet were black. Upon arrival, there were dead cockroaches on the floor, old food stains crusted to the wall and floor in the kitchen/back door area, and miscellaneous dirt and debris in all areas. We called and requested to have the house cleaned again and they did send a single housekeeper out during our stay, but she was present for 30 minutes max and only mopped the floors - dust, mold, and old/crusted food remained. The woman I spoke to insisted the property had just been cleaned prior to arrival, but I would beg to differ. We paid additional for pool heating, but it was still very cold. The tracks for the barn doors need repair since they do not stay open or closed well. Thankfully the beds were comfortable since we primarily used it as just a place to sleep since everything else about the property was lackluster.
This property is in a fantastic location, just a short walk to the beach! The home is beautiful and clean.
We loved the house and the overall experience. Our only complaint is that the pool was very dirty sand or just dirt at the bottom and lots of leaves. My husband cleaned out the pool so we could use it. the pool company didn’t showed up till Thursday afternoon we pointed out that the skimmers weren’t working and he said the person who had been doing the service must have avoided the equipment. He fixed everything and shocked the pool which meant we had to stay out of it for several hours. Also there are hundreds of little ants all over the back deck you might want to stray for that. Just a suggestion you might want to put in a frosted window in the bathroom with the king bed because a new 3 story house was just built next door and the 2nd floor deck area can see right into the shower.
This house is perfect if you like being close to the beach but not in a condo. Great kitchen, plenty of room for 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 3 kiddos.
We had a great time. House was lovely and in great location to the beach. Entire family really enjoyed the private pool. Nice accommodations and adequate living space.
Absolutely loved the house and the pool. Location was great with a short walk to the beach. The only thing I would have changed is for there to be more storage areas in the bedrooms. I’ll definitely return!!
What a wonderful little beach house! Our family of 5 had so much fun staying here. Proximity to the beach is even closer than it appeared on the map….it is SO close! (We ended up renting an umbrella & chairs from BBS, they set up on the beach and you can rent by the day….that was so nice.) Having our own pool was like a separate vacation within a vacation! The home is so well thought out (especially for a rental home!). I loved the exterior door from the pool to the bathroom/shower/laundry, was so nice to let the children swim and then send them in that door to shower & drop all their wet gear, genius! The kitchen was very well stocked, it had everything we needed! (Definitely more plentiful than other places we’ve rented in the past…it felt much more like a home someone lived in rather than a rental with the bare minimum set of kitchen things….can’t think of anything we couldn’t find, which was a pleasant surprise.) We have three children ages 9-12, and we had plenty of space to spread out comfortably. The large picnic style table was awesome, nobody was quarreling about where to sit! Our boys loved the bunk room, those top bunks are like a little fort! We rented a golf cart and didn’t need to touch our car once while we were there, that was another big highlight for everyone. We were easily able to take the golf cart everywhere because the home is so centrally located to everything. Not to mention…the ride to everywhere is just beautiful, especially in a golf cart with the open ocean air all around you. Check in was easy, and our host was so incredibly helpful and responsive. The first night the A/C was having a hard time cooling…we called in the morning and there was someone there to repair it by that afternoon (on a Sunday…before the 4th of July), it was fixed and cooling perfectly in record time, we were so appreciative! Cannot say enough about this cute little beach cottage, perfect little getaway! The only problem is that our stay wasn’t long enough! We miss it already! Thank you for a wonderful week!
The location is better than expected. It truly is as good of beach access as you can have on St Simon. It was perfect for our family of 5, with a little extra room left over. The pool was perfect when the jelly fish invaded the beach. It is south GA in the summer so it was hot, humid, and the bugs were plentiful, but this house was perfect to escape to.
This three bedroom was perfect for our party of five. It’s a very short walk to the beach. The property management was very responsive when the grill wasn’t working and delivered a new grill same day! The house had everything we needed and made it so easy to have meals. The location is great and close to many restaurants and shopping. Everyone was so friendly on the island!
The house is beautiful but the bunk room is smaller than expected. Overall it was lovely and a short walk to the beach.
Our stay was relaxing and easy. Everything was as described and the communication was very warm and very welcoming. Plenty of space for a family of four, plus grandma. The house is nice a bright and has very comfy beds. The convenience and walk to the beach and the ocean boulevard could not be easier. And the provided bug spray was much appreciated for days with a lighter breeze. The pool was fun and received a lot of nice light at all hours making it easy to enjoy anytime. A highlight was the kitchen with all the necessary items for a home cook. The dishwasher was on the fritz but there were plenty of towels to hand dry and the rental co was great about it. The property has been enjoyed by many, and it is starting to show a little. Might be time for a refresh of: one or two outdoor dining chairs, the couch throw pillows, and a couple of beach towels, but other than that is was perfect!
