Great stay!

We had a wonderful experience while we were there with 3 adults and 6 children. Plenty of room for all of us, perfect accommodations. We had trouble with the tub on the first day, owner was prompt and had a handyman out to fix within the hour even on a Sunday! Great communication!

Perfect Spot for Family Vacation!

This was the perfect house for a two family vacation! We had four adults and four kids 12-7. The location was perfect, we really enjoyed the quiet street. We spent most evenings at the house on the front porch and the kids would play in the little park grass area across the street. Very short golf cart trip to the beach or any other location. If we didn't have a decent amount of stuff to take with us on the beach we could have easily walked to the beach access. The house is nicely updated and had a great layout for two families. SSI was beautiful and we can't wait to return!

Perfect house for our team

We brought our cross country teams to the coast for the Jekyll Invitational over Labor Day weekend and the middle school girls (6 girls) stayed here along with 3 chaperones. It was a great house for them. 5 of them insisted on sleeping in the bunk bed room together. The house is beautiful, well-maintained, and in a great location (beach is just a couple of blocks away). We were also able to walk from there to the restaurants around the King and Prince. We would definitely recommend and would reserve again if available.

Bed bugs!!!

The home was beautiful but bites started appearing on us a night in to our stay. When we returned we had to go to the doctor as the bites were worse and dr stated they appeared to be bed bug bites. I contacted the property owner and she was outraged that I accused her of having bed bugs so at that point she accused me of breaking her bed, which I clearly didn’t! A week after I returned she took 250 dollars from my account with out my authorization. It’s currently being investigated. Please don’t waste your money or time here!!! This owner is horrible to deal with in the event of a crisis or bad situation. The home was amazing besides that lol!

St Simon’s getaway

Katie is great, a little problem and she wanted to fix them right away. It’s vrbo who is controlling everything and instead of me being able to send a picture for the pest control guy to see the kind of roach that the kids see , vrbo’s messages cannot accept pictures and hides Katie’s email address for me to send it to. I am not interested to put that picture here now as it’s supposed to help and not to destroy the facilities image.Other than that, Katie’s place is perfect!

Southern Charm

I can’t say enough good things about this property! It’s elegant southern charm! Had everything we needed to make ourselves at home. Super clean! Walk to beach was shaded and beautiful! Communication with owner was immediate with any questions we had. We got away with my daughter’s bridesmaids for the weekend. We loved sitting on the front porch drinking our coffee! Walking distance to several amazing restaurants. Highly recommend Fiddlers. Best meal we had! Thanks for sharing your little piece of heaven! We have the best memories there.
