Perfect space for me!

I was very happy with my stay - the host was very responsive with any questions I had, and also checked in (message, not in person) to make sure my stay was going well. The location was perfect - 1 block from the beach, and and either a very short drive or a nice walk into town.

The rental property smelled like a combination of cigarette smoke and musty. I realize it was built around 1920, however. The sofa in the living area was very uncomfortable. The showerhead was not connected, and leaked cold water. Also, the water in the entire unit did not get hot, except for the first night. Location was good. Great access to beach. Bedroom was cold, and hard to get to a satisfactory temperature. We did enjoy our stay in St. Simons. And it was nice to be able to stay on the beach later, due to close proximity of VRBO.

Great stay for a couple at St. Simon's Island!

Our family has been visiting the island for 40 plus years. We have stayed in many different places. This location is great, with just off the beach access. It is a medium walk to the Village and pier. The place was very attractive, clean and well stocked. Wes and Edis answered our questions quickly both before and during the visit. Thank you Wes and Edis for a wonderful trip! We look forward to returning to visit again.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Perfect location walk out the door and in one minute your on the beach. Three minutes walk to the Crab Trap. The house is all up dated but with a historical beach island accent ingrained into the fiber of the home. Quite often I would wonder what it would be like 100 years ago to live in this house. Perfect balance and a model for all VRBO and how to do it right.

Great location

Just as pictured. Had all we needed. Very clean. There was a strong smell of soap for our entire stay. Not sure what that was about. Otherwise, communication was great, and no issues about a step-in tub. There is a walk-in shower. The location is perfect with easy access to the beach and restaurants. We preferred the shops and dining places at the corner of Arnold and Ocean. Ocean In Motion rents bikes for the day and is just a short walk up the street. Nice little shop as well.

Wonderful 1st time stay in St.Simons!

The Loft was the perfect place for an anniversary trip! Although there were other people in the other units, we didn’t hear them at all. I love the keypad entry so we didn’t have to keep up with a card or a key. Bed linens and towels were fluffy and perfect. Space was very clean. Edis and Wesley are very helpful and respond quickly to messages. 0.9 mile to downtown - an easy walk. Once there, we rented bikes and rode down Ocean Blvd to East Beach. Then we rode back on Bruce Dr. The houses are amazing. We had breakfast at Palmers - highly recommend. Mellow Mushroom’s back porch is perfect for watching football. Dinner at The Half Shell was wonderful. Overall, everything during our stay was great! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your loft. We can’t wait to come back!

Nice Place, Good Location, Several Shortcomings

Attractive unit in a great location on the island, but in some aspects could be improved. Check-in was a bit muddled as we had been provided two different codes for combination door lock, and there was work ongoing to fix the air conditioner prior to and at time of our arrival. On our second night there, we lost TV reception due to the "smart" TV losing its internet connection, which was puzzling since our other electronic devices didn't lose their connections in the unit. The problem wasn't remedied until 4 days later, despite repeated texts to the host. In some respects, the unit could be better equipped - for example, only one hand towel, one dish towel, three coat hangers.

Shiplap and Sliding barn doors!!

Super nice, clean 1 bedroom in an older home that has been expertly converted into a 4plex. Well equipped for 2 but I recommend you bring a light blanket or throw as linens are limited to sheets and down style comforter in bedroom. Living room had lots of throw pillows but could use a blanket. Tub is old fashioned as pictured. Cute but very difficult for folks who are vertically challenged or have bad knees/hips to get in and especially out of the shower. Other units were occupied during our stay but everyone was very quiet. Easy access to town and beach. Unit was exactly as advertised and in great shape.

loved the second place

first apartment had a shower that was not usable. (Tub converted shower was hard to get in and out of. When I called the owner he immediately moved us to an other apartment across the hall. This apartment was completely acceptable, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment and all ammenities were of the highest order.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is a private retreat, steps to the beach and dining. The old growth oak streets make a great shaded place to walk. 5 min walk to the King and Prince and 15 min walk to the Pier Village.

What makes this property unique

Flat B has a very unique historic charm, with floor-to-ceiling heart pine bead board, transom windows above the bedroom door. The private entrance opens into a hallway that connects the open concept kitchen and living area, the bedroom, and the bathroom.

The bathroom has a wall mount floating vanity with a square basis sink. The bathroom has a full size shower with floor-to-ceiling marble tile surround and a dual-head shower head. The bathroom has a transom ceiling window that vents to the outside.

Also off of the main hallway is the kitchen and living area. The renovated kitchen has a modern flair with shaker style cabinets and a butcher block counter top. The appliances are high-end and updated with a 5 burner gas stove, Bosch dishwasher, and LG refrigerator. There is a stacked set of Samsung front-load washer dryers with a console utility closet. There is a glass kitchen table with hand made acorn wood legs and chairs.

The attached living area has a modern L-shaped couch and a reading nook. There is ample seating for 4-5 people with a nice viewing angle of the 55" HDR Roku TV. Netflix and Xfinity cable are provided and all TV functions can be operated with one simple remote.

The bedroom has a cherry wood bedroom furniture with a unique gentlemen chest with a space for hanging and drawers for clothes.

We use tankless natural gas heaters that provide continuous hot water. The AC is a new mini-split system that provides ample cooling on hot summer days and heat on winter days.

We strive to provide a high level of attention to detail. You find the apartment is immaculately clean and has a nice lived-in feel, with personal touches like art and books that we have enjoyed. We also provide high quality bedding and linens and a nice moderately-firm foam mattress to relax and sleep in. Backpack beach chairs and beach towels are included. The beach is just 1-blocks away making it easy to come back for lunch or a bathroom break.
