Good. VRBO should require all their properties to have an 11:00 a.m. check out the day of leaving this particular company wanted to kick us to the curb at 10:00 on a Sunday morning 11:00 that extra hour makes all the difference in the world.

Great location

We were very happy with this property. It’s so close to all the restaurants and pool/pier area. It was fun walking to water and looking for crabs when the tide was low. Water close to house isn’t really for swimming but the two main beaches are only a mile away with plenty of parking. House was very clean and had lots of games for the kids. Beds were comfortable and the property manager was very responsive. Definitely recommend this house.

Perfect house for our family of four. Beautifully appointed kitchen, which had everything we could imagine in it. Space was clean and close to the beach! We rented bikes, which made exploring the island very accessible and fun. Definitely will stay again.

We absolutely loved this property! It is a beautiful 3 story house with an adorable coastal feel. It's super close to the water and walking distance to town/shopping. We loved the kids parks! Be sure to sign up for the free access pass to the pool or mini golf! Everything we needed was at the property. Beds and bedding were comfy as well as couches. We loved the spaces and common areas for games. We loved having a washer and dryer in the house. All appliances worked well and we played ping pong often. A huge plus for our family was having ceiling fans in every room! Super nice!! The property manager was nice and attentive and answered text messages promptly and was never irritated with our questions. Highly recommend!

Peaceful Getaway

This place is fabulous. First, it is within walking distance from downtown St. Simon and the beach. My wife and I went to breakfast in the early in the morning and walked the beach afterwards. I prepared dinner and my wife and I enjoyed dining on the balcony just off of the living room. The neighborhood is peaceful.....it was nice listening to the birds talk to each other while we ate. We parked our car in the garage provided and walked everywhere. This 2300 Square foot treasure had everything you need to make you are at home away from home.
