Girls retreat
Our stay started out with quite the hiccup. I had been given the entry code to use on the door and it worked, but however, the door had been dead bolted from the inside after contacting management. They questioned the fact that the door was not supposed to be dead bolted, and all I needed to do was put the code in and the door would open, I tried to tell them I did that but they still acted as if I didn’t know what I was talking about. Waiting on someone to get there at least an hour and 15 minutes and then he questioned the same thing about me opening the door with the code, we showed him that it would not work . We had to wait on him to go to a warehouse to get a set of keys so that the door could be unlocked. It was 40 outside and when we got into the house finally it was 42 in the house because they had not turned the heat on . We had traveled all day and we were tired and ready to be in the house when I questioned this with the management, they did not want to really do any form of reconciliation but 50 which to me was ridiculous. Finally, they settled on the amount of 135 which to me was still not sufficient because there were 10 people involved , the house itself was nice. We just had to rewash a few dishes.

Great getaway. . .just check the dishes before use
The location of the property was definitely the bright spot of the stay. The house is truly within walking distance of everything. The check-in procedure was not quite up to date or accurate, it made entering the property difficult. The cleanliness of the house was generally fine, but the refrigerator smelled like fish for the first two days and didn't get all that cold. The freezer didn't freeze anything, it was just a colder version of the fridge. The dishes generally needed to be washed before use; more than a few had remnants of food left on them. The property served its purpose and provided a place for our family to get together and spend time.

Great for a lot of people
The location was great and a short walk to town and even shorter to the beach. The house is good for a lot of people with tons of seating in several areas of the home. A few things about the amenities: The house is well stocked with glasses, plates, coffee mugs (a little too many), tons of silverware, large bowls and many other kitchen items, but no scissors. We had 9 people and stayed over Thanksgiving and had plenty of seating, baking dishes, pans and utensils, we even found a large roasting pan. They also left us a couple foil pans. They almost have too much stuff as we had difficulty finding open areas for our things. We did have to purchase all spices including salt and pepper and sugar, foil, napkins and ziplock bags. We did not have enough paper towels, garbage bags, and toilet paper as we were only left enough for part of the week. It probably would’ve been enough if we only had a few people. The management company was responsive and brought us more garbage bags, which was great. I’m only leaving 4 stars for the management company because I responded to a text they sent me offering to help anyway they can and asked how to turn the outside lights on and got a generic response telling me patio lights are operated by a switch inside the house by the door and when I said I was trying to turn the decorative light they told me “hanging lights are plugged in via a cord in an outside outlet”. It was probably a service as it was a Sunday night but we were trying to bbq and it would’ve been helpful to have a response from someone who actually knows the home. It also would’ve been nice to have a binder in the home explaining how to turn on the outdoor lights and how to work the tv and things like that. We did finally figure out the lights, there’s a switch on the deck rail by the bbq, and one by the stairs near the fire pit As for cleanliness, some utensils were dirty, kitchen drawers and cabinets were super messy and the shower curtain was moldy, but the home was vacuumed, dusted and bathrooms/kitchens were as clean as they could be for being an old house. Overall we had a great time and would stay there again, it’s a great home for a large group. The management Co. was responsive and sent texts informing us of check in/out procedures. And the two kitchens were a bonus.

Great location but not very clean
When we arrived the cleaning crew was still there. Our towels smelled like smoke. The cleaning crew must have smoking while driving to the property. My daughter found a beer bottle under her bed. There were several other incidences of small things not being clean. The blender still had fluid in it from a prior customer. The place has "a lot" of furniture so some of the more inconspicuous areas of the house need a deeep cleaning. For example, the kids were playing hide and seek and hid under a table. She came out covered in dust.

Kinda wished we had more time
Didn't even realize there was an upstairs kitchen until the day we were leaving. Place is great, fit 8 grown adult men easily! We came for a golf weekend at Jekyll Island. The location was great very affordable and everything matched the listing. Would absolutely recommend this place for a family, lots to do nearby.

Weekend visit to St Simons
I must agree with a previous review that was posted in May of 2020, rooms were perfect for my party but the moldy shower curtain is still there. Lighting in the house not good & several of the lamps were out. Had to figure out how to program the 2 televisions in the house. Dishwasher did not clean the dishes very well. Several of the kitchen utensils needs to be disposed of. Overall, we had a great visit & enjoyed our getaway.

Excellent location
This property is located close to everything. It is a short walk to the beach, walking distance to Crab Trap, and a short drive to downtown. We had 10 people stay here and everyone had their own space and we never felt like we were cramped together. The multiple living areas are a definite plus! I would definitely recommend this property.

1930s beach cottage
This listing is exactly as described with great location and perfect set up for older kids/teenagers and/or adults. In my hurry to book, I overlooked that there is no bathtub which is easier (IMO) for babies/toddlers than shower. There is also a crowded footprint and closed floor plan (hard to find a spot for the stroller/bouncy seat, pack and play & no great sight lines while Prepping a meal and keeping an eye on littles.) With older kids I imagine they would enjoy having their own space! Last, their are several entrances and for me since the exterior doors don’t have child locks - that limited us on which bedrooms we could use and ended up having toddler stay in the room with us because only other option on ground floor had a door to outside in the bedroom. The charm and history of this home is wonderful. Lots of original art and cozy places to sit. The glass porch was a favorite spot with nice light. The walk to the lighthouse and pier were short and there is a paved sidewalk. Plenty of public beach access. Beach is small at high tide if you’re new to St Simons.

The house is charming; however, our biggest issue was the mold in the house. We all got headaches, sneezing, water eyes, and felt lethargic. The mold issue needs to get addressed! I called and spoke to Austin to bring air purify machines in. The management was responsive at all. I do not recommend at all.
