Main reason for the 4 stars is the non-functioning Mini-Split style Air-Conditioning units. The host/property management had installed two window A/C units, so we give them credit for that and that there was A/C in the unit. However these are simply obnoxious in noise and (strong) blowing cold air. Unit was clean and bright, nicely accommodated. Parking may seem inconvenient based on the information provided, but in reality wasn't an issue at all (always available street parking in close proximity). Would stay here again.

I stayed at the Beacon’s Nest for about 3 weeks, with my family coming in and out. It is a comfortable spot, perfectly sized for up to 4 people. It’s just minutes from downtown Valdosta with shops and restaurants.I have no complaints about the property at all as it served us well.
