Wow, this place was great, from the room, to the grounds, to the breakfast, and especially the hostess. They knocked it out of the park. No doubt that we'll be back.
Liked: Comfortable bed. Large room. Friendly host.
Didn’t like limited breakfast choice. Prefer other B & B’s that have several side choices offered each day for all main entrees, ie fruit, meats, breads, juices.
And engaging in keeper. Wonderful made hoping to order breakfast. A good addition would be the availability of a few beach cruiser bicycles with baskets on site for guests to use.
Wonderful place to stay while vacationing at Saint Simon’s Island. Breakfast is wonderful and the host is very gracious and helpful with sharing tourist spots and events happening on the island.
Lovely location; very picturesque setting. Delicious breakfast. Debi was a very friendly host. I wish I had returned here for the last few days of my stay on St. Simons Island, instead of the other place I went to. If I come back, I will spend more time at Grey Owl. The elevator was a wonderful convenience; we did not have to tote our bags up and down the stairs.
This place was amazing, you felt right at home the moment you walked in. The grounds are so well maintained and the Inn is spotless. Debi the Inn keeper was so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was outstanding.
We needed the lift which was broken. No adjustment was made because of this. No daily maid service was offered or mentioned. Otherwise, the place is lovely with lots of special features. The daily full breakfast is wonderful.
The Grey Owl Inn is a real gem. The rooms are clean and quiet. Great linens and the breakfast alone is makes the stay worthwhile. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you Debi and Bill!
The Grey Owl Inn is a retreat within a retreat. The setting is lovely, the rooms are whimsically decorated, and it is located conveniently to all the local sights.
Absolutely incredibly nice place with incredibly hospitable hosts

Liked: Staff & service
Parking was good. Breakfast was good. The property manager was great. The bad was the building is old. Capet need to be replaced. Shower needs to be updated Rainfall shower head that’s not in use needs to be removed since it had some gross looking mold growing on it. The outside area needed cleaning. We tried to sit outside to enjoy a drink but couldn’t because the table in the gazebo was oily and dirt was stuck to it. Bench seat was too dirty to sit on. It was way over priced for what you got. Only worth about half of what we paid. It wasn’t aweful but I wouldn’t recommend this place.
