Weekend get away
It is described very well. Home is clean and located on a quiet street. Only negative is all the beds have boxsprings or mattersses that are LOUD and squalk when you move. They were not comfortable at all. The pool area was amazing and the space was perfect. The last downside is there are no ice trays or icemaker so bring a bacmg of ice with you.

Wonderful Cottage, but Ten Feet from Construction Site (Spring 2023)
We stayed in this cottage the first week of April 2023. It was a wonderful property for our family of four, in a quiet neighborhood and only a 4-5 minute walk from the beach. The pool in the back is lovely and a wonderful place to hang out when needing a break from the beach. However….the property backs onto an elementary school, where a new wing is being constructed. For four days of our stay, there was a cacophony of bulldozers, front loaders, cement trucks and workers, arriving as early as six am, and working just on the other side of the fence, about ten feet away. They woke us up early and made it impossible to enjoy the pool. There was no mention of this work on VRBO.com or the rental agency site. The rental agency was very sympathetic and extremely helpful in contacting the property owner to secure a discount on our stay, which was very appreciated. Apparently, demolition and construction has not been consistent and the owner was not aware that work was being done during our stay. Still - notice should be provided on the listing that construction work is a likely occurrence for the near future and will impact renters’ stay and experience.

Amazing location, gorgeous pool.
House and yard were exactly as described, and pool was immaculate (and heated, which was awesome). Check in/out & communication beforehand great. There was no soap or trash bags which I thought odd, but might have missed that. Only negative was the house could use a good deep clean/minor repairs (bathroom faucets, a light was burnt out, etc). I'm sure it head to do with it being end of season for check ins.

Needs Price Adjustment
We travel often and almost always use VRBO. We are also in real estate sales and property management. In our opinion the home is not worth the price being charged. We expected much more for the price point. The house needs a very deep clean. Spiders and webs in the corners - floor and ceiling. Broken blinds. Fan in master bath wakes up the entire house. Needs more pots. No salt and pepper. Only one half used roll of paper towels. No extra trash bags. No additional amenities whatsoever - shampoo, conditioner, etc. Large outdoor trash container was full from previous guests with no room for our own trash and full of maggots. No dish soap or cleaning no supplies. BBQ tongs were hanging on grill and dirty. Microwave was dirty. Pool waterfall never came on. The master bathroom is extremely small. Location was nice amongst nice homes. It backs on the run down portion of the elementary school. Beautiful large moss draped trees hang over the home. They have clearly put all the focus on the backyard which was done nicely. Really need the main tv to be a smart tv or have a roku so people can access their streaming accounts. It was ok. Disappointed with allot. House has tons of potential. Will look elsewhere for our next trip to SSI.

We spent around 1.5 weeks here with our two children. Sadly it was a bit early in the season for the pool but the house had everything we needed. It was within an easy walk of restaurants and the beach. Would rent it again.

Beach cottage
This was a much needed getaway for our family of 7. Our first trip to St. Simmons Island was quick but memorable and this little cottage was an amazing space to kick back on the patio, in the pool, or on the couch. Close to the beach, walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Excellent experience. Would definitely recommend and and stay again.

Cute place - great location
We had a wonderful time in SSI. This house was located right in the heart of the island. Walking distance to the beach and main strip. Inside was very clean and all the beds were very comfortable. A few things to note when staying: 1. The front door lock needs to be changed. It got stuck and was very hard to open and close. Felt like it was truly never locked. 2. The side entrance off the pool had no access into the kitchen if the door was locked. You have to go through the front door to open the side door which was weird. 3. No access to filter water from the fridge or ice in the freezer. So you must bring water bottles which defeats the purpose of wasting on plastic bottles. 4. The stove was very sensitive. I swear it turned on by itself. My only 2 cons were 1. We had just walked into the house and 5 minutes later a man knocked on the door to fix a screen door. We had no idea someone was coming. Notice would have been nice since we really couldnt confirm who he was. 2. The pool guy just showed up while the girls were about to hop into the pool. Again notice would have been nice. I understand since its always booked that contractors come by. However notice would have been appreciated. I was texted multiple times about checking and and if everything was good so there is communication. Overall minor things. Great time

Quite street, close to local downtown & private pool!
The location was great for enjoying the downtown area but being far enough away for a quite getaway. Also walkable to beaches! The private pool & screened in porch was a huge plus. We did have a bit of a challenge with the front door lock. Also would have been nice if the “starter” of toilet paper & garbage liners included at least one replacement. Overall however this did not impact our positive experience and would definitely react this house again if returning to St. Simons Island!

Great location!
This was an adorable, clean, and well-appointed home on a quiet side street in SSI. The home is just over a half mile from the village, and it’s an easy walk via side streets. It’s just a 0.3 mile walk to the beach at the 5th Street Public access point. (It’s also close to the 3rd Street access point.) Noon was a great time to take a walk on the beach with our dog during low tide. The pictures don’t do the home justice, and the carpet in the bedrooms has been replaced with much nicer gray vinyl flooring. The kitchen has stainless appliances and a variety of dishes, utensils, and cookware. It even has a Keurig machine, but bring your own k-cups. We especially loved the comfort and style of the family room. FYI - The home is surrounded by trees, and the live oak trees were continually dropping acorns onto the aluminum roof, which got pretty loud. I expect this would occur primarily in the fall, when the trees are shedding. And the trees are everywhere, so you’d likely have the same experience if you stay at another home in this area. If I had one complaint, it would be the lock on the front door. It’s a keyed lock on both sides, and the lock was sticky with the humidity. It’s very inconvenient to need a key just to lock/unlock the door from the inside. I would suggest changing the lock with a coded entry system and interior bolt that is easier to lock/unlock, and safer for the occupants to exit quickly, if needed.

House is very nice and quaint cottage style with nice sized pool. We wish the pool would have been cleaned prior to our arrival but it was not. A lot of sand in the pool from previous renter. Pool cleaner did not clean on Monday because of a 2 hour storm so we had to live with that for the week. That could have been handled better
