Nicest vacation rental

This vacation rental was impeccably clean and had lots of room for me and my two friends. The shower in the master bath was very nice and so was the kitchen. Would stay here again

Perfect Getaway

Myself and some family met up here to surprise my mom with a little birthday getaway. The house was perfect! It was very clean and in a quiet tucked away neighborhood, but it wasn’t far to any of the spots on the island. Can’t wait to visit again!

Amazing Place! Great Location

The pictures don't do the house justice which is unusual. Great floorplan, large fenced yard, updated appliances and really nice updated Smart TV's, came in handy for using apps like Disney Plus for the kids! Also very quiet street! We loved our stay!

The house suited our needs very well. Great location and quiet neighborhood. We especially enjoyed the large refrigerator with the ice maker, the new washer and dryer, and the beautiful large walk-in shower in the main bedroom suite. Our vacation was very enjoyable!

St. Simons in August

We came to SSI for a wedding and wanted to stay in a 'home away from home' with our sons and daughter-in-law. This home was just right for us! The home was clean and furnished beautifully. We could be practically anywhere on the island in a few minutes, so the location was great, too.
