The house was nice. Plenty of room for all of us & the beach was an easy walk. It would be nice if the kitchen would have had some food storage containers or even basic spice essentials for the price point. The mosquitos will carry you away so if you're outside make sure you have big spray. The extra parking across the street was nice too. The beach was clean & not too crowded for labor day weekend.

This is the 3rd time we've stayed at Water Lily. Its a great cottage and has all the amenities and supplies needed for a week stay. We did notice this time that upon arrival a couple of the bed linens (main upstairs and 2nd BR downstairs) were not fully cleaned, the comforters and sheets were dirty/wrinkled. Overall we enjoyed our stay and plan to return in coming years.

Thank you so much for returning to Water Lily for a third stay. It means a great deal to know the cottage continues to be a favorite and provides everything you need for a comfortable week on St. Simons. We are very sorry the bed linens were not properly prepared for your arrival. That is not the standard we expect, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention so we can address it with our housekeeping team. Thank you for your continued trust in Lilmar Vacations. We truly look forward to welcoming you back to Water Lily in the years ahead. Miranda at Lilmar Vacations
