A nice inn with comfortable rooms
The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable. We were surprised when the bed was not made or towels replaced, as we were not advised that the management did not service the rooms at all during our stay. We did request more coffee, and it was left outside the room for us. The breakfasts were delicious, hot, and made to order. The inn is centrally located, and it was easy to get to attractions and the beach. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Beautiful St. Simmons Island
I loved the property with its fountain pond and lush landscaping. It is within walking distance to the beaches and some very nice eateries. My room was themed about Dr. Albert Schweitzer and the safari camp where HRM Elizabeth II was staying when she inherited the throne upon her father's passing. The whole property is just filled with such details from books to gardens. And the breakfast in the sun room overlooking the garden was delicious and so relaxing (soothing if you will). Staff was awesome and helpful in finding things to see locally.

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.

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.
