Home was in quiet neighborhood. Located near stores & restaurants. Short drive to beach. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Pool was awesome & enjoyed sitting at the patio table with umbrella late in the evening. Dog friendly. Back yard was fully fenced around pool for privacy.

Beautiful home and great area
The house was well stocked and as nice as the pictures online. It was a little too cool to enjoy the pool, but we did enjoy the outdoor seating area.

Great Rental
This was my first time in St Simons Island the location of the rental is perfect to see various attractions and restaurants, etc. The house was immaculate. Everything was perfect. It was decorated beautifully, and we felt literally at home. I definitely recommend it and I’ll be staying there again.
