Absolutely wonderful stay

This lovely property is even better than the photos. The house is spotless, well cared for, and has all the amenities you could ask for. The hosts were so quick to answer when we had questions, and the check in and check out process was so smooth. Several things to note - there are stairs, however, they were easy to navigate and are very sturdy. This is it's own house, but there are neighbors - our experience was SO QUIET - no noise within the house at all! The porches are absolutely lovely. The house is spotless, beautifully kept, we had absolutely NO complaints. The hosts were so quick to respond and lovely. I saw several negative things said about this property, and I can honestly say that none of them were true of our stay. If you have the privilege of booking this property - do not hesitate to do so! Thank you!

Great stay!

Would definitely recommend with pets & if you want to be in a more secluded area. Feels like a little tree house with the beautiful live oaks & marsh. It is very close to others but not attached to any homes. Could use a little TLC only because you can tell they have a lot of visits… walls/paint scuffed up etc. Beds were very comfy. Overall we had a great stay!

Perfect long weekend

Booked a couple of weeks in advance not being completely familiar with this end of the island as we have stayed closer to pier beach/village area in the past. The unit was perfect for our needs and very well stocked with any needed supplies. Compared to MANY vacation rentals in the past, this unit was by far the best stocked with everyday essentials, cookware and utensils, a very large selection of spices/seasonings were available if needed. I packed as I often do with many of these things in tow, but never even had to unpack many of our less used items. Hosts were very easy to communicate with prior to arrival and extremely accommodating allowing us to check in early after my son was dismissed from summer camp he had been attending near by. The Only thing I would advise for this location as well as most others we have stayed in the area is KEEP DOORS CLOSED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE WHEN COMING AND GOING AND UNPACKING THE CAR ETC. During the daytime, it can be a little harder for AC to cool down and stay at a comfy temp if curtains and blinds are open, but was comfortably cool at night. Overall, we would not hesitate to rent here again.

Loved our stay!

This property is a perfect blend of away from the beach/attractions far enough for quiet and privacy and close enough to be in the thick of things with a short drive. The property managers were nice and attentive to any needs, and we left with a very good impression and some great memories!

Golf Getaway

Grateful to the owners for sharing their retreat! Perfect location for access to SSI golf venues and short drives to beaches and local attractions. Well stocked and impeccably clean kitchen for easy meal prep. Guests will need to access steps both inside and out, if traveling with young children or limited mobility. Hope to return!

Nice location-Very close to Sea Palms golf course

Very nice stay with comfortable beds. Nice TV's in every room. Well equipped. The only negative is the 18 stairs that you must climb up and down to the house. We knew this up front so no fault to owners.

Delightful property.

This condo was attractive and very clean. It had the best-equipped kitchen of any vacation home we’ve rented and the towels and linens were great quality. The photo is a tiny bit misleading—other identical homes (condos?) are very close by—but it was still quiet except when a work crew was building an elevator enclosure at the house next door. Property is midway between the village with many excellent restaurants and the less crowded parks where we liked to walk and bike. The electronic locks worked flawlessly and internet service was good. We also appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine. Our only real complaint was about lighting and light switches—some wall switches didn’t seem to work and overall the lighting was dim. But the good quality window shades and ceiling fans were a plus. Thanks, too, for letting us bring our Papillon puppy. There were a lot of stairs to carry him up and down whenever he needed to go out, but he had a great time, too. And stairs are good exercise as long as you don’t have a disability! Highly recommended!

nice cozy place in the trees

We are SSI visitor veterans and wanted a somewhat peaceful wooded setting. Funny on Saturday night there was a loud musical concert very close by. Could hear thru the walls. Fortunately they stopped around 11pm. We enjoyed this condo that we named the tree house.

June 1-4 Bachelor Party

Due to a miscommunication with the owner and cleaning staff, the house had not been made up before our arrival. However, I was able to get in contact with Lisa quickly and she gave us $100 to go to dinner and removed our first night stay cost. We were very impressed with her willingness to work with us on that. Other than that, the house is very nice. Beds are comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet. Would recommend.

Pleasant

The location is great. It is near a golf course and marshes. It is vey quiet and peaceful. The property was well stocked with dishes, and daily essentials. Please read the description as the property is a two bedroom with an open loft. The loft has a pullout couch, which cannot be used because it is stained and extremely uncomfortable.

Great rental location for exploring Golden Isles

Our family enjoyed our time at this property. The owner made excellent use of the square footage and all of the updates and interior decor helped to create a nice beach cottage vibe. The location was perfect for us to explore St. Simons, Jekyll, Driftwood Beach & Cumberland Island. We would definitely stay here again!

Very peaceful!

Our family had an excellent stay at this house. We were attending a Ministers conference nearby and we loved the location. It was very quiet and a really safe area. Our two teen daughters stayed in one room and shared a bed and our boys loved staying in the loft while we had the other bedroom. The beds were very comfortable. We slept great! The house is small and cozy and it was very clean. There were a few items left in fridge from someone else but we just left them alone. No big deal for us. We also couldn’t find a spare trash bag but we made do with what we brought. The bathrooms were a little smaller than expected but the towels were amazing! It was still worth it because of the location of this house. It was always so quiet outside and that was exactly what we were looking for. Our kids loved watching the turtles each morning and just enjoying being in such a cute little spot. Thank you and we look forward to staying again.

Nice stay

Jodi’s rental was a nice size for our group of 4 adults, 1 small child, and a small dog. We enjoyed riding bikes in the quiet golf community. We also enjoyed the multiple decks where we had several meals and enjoyed the pond and watching the turtles. Jodi was friendly and always quick to respond to any questions/concerns that we had during our stay. No issues other than dealing with an unpleasant neighbor.
