It was wonderful! The team was extremely communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The property itself was just as beautiful as the pictures. The pool was smaller than expected but ended up being perfect to decompress in after a long beach day. Highly recommend!!

First trip to St Simons as a family but most certainly won’t be our last. The house itself was perfect. Clean, well decorated, stocked with essentials, amenities that appealed to travelers of all ages and convenient to everything. Responsiveness of the property management team was fabulous and any issues we had were attended to quickly. Only complaint and it wouldn’t preclude from staying again is that it does seem the fees are very high equaling almost the total of the house itself. May not be sprint to this property though and may be a function of VRBO changing their fee structure

We stayed at the Fern for our weekend get away. Very comfortable property with all the necessary appliances. The front porch was great and screened which was great. Pool was a little smaller than average sized bout still good for family fun. Table tennis in the game room was also a great plus. Decor was modern and place overall was very clean.

The house was lovely, well furnished, clean and just what we were hoping for. We chose to be away from the hustle and bustle of a tourist area . A great value for the money. It’s in a quiet walkable neighborhood away from traffic but drivable to amenities.
Our week’s stay was a bit chilly so we were not able to take advantage of the beautiful pool.
