Majestic views and memories made

The stunning photos and description of this home pale in comparison to the lived experience. The ease of unpacking using the home’s elevator was the start of comfort and convenience. Conversations flowed easily at the large kitchen table and overflow bar seating; While morning coffee and evening nightcaps were enjoyed on the plentiful porches. This home truly has everything needed for multiple families: ample glass, dish, and kitchen ware, two fridges, two ovens, and two dishwashers. We loved enjoying the variety of spaces to spread out or gather, depending on the mood, in the classic neutral coastal decor which paired perfectly with the backdrop of sweeping ocean and dunes views that wowed every hour of the day. If the perfection of the house was not enough, the home also boasted steps away access to the private neighborhood pool or an easy walk over the dunes via a private boardwalk to the white sandy beach. Small touches of labeled light switches and provided beach towels and beach bicycles made the vacation experience easy and fun. Shortly into our stay we did need the management company assistance, and their response time was impeccable. The caliber of attention and detail was impressive and our week in this gorgeous home was the highlight of the summer. ”

A pleasant stay on St. Simons Island

Nancy and I, along with two other couples, had an enjoyable stay at the “Stunning Seaside Retreat”. The house is spacious and very nicely decorated. The owners, when contacted, were courteous and helpful, but some of the “nuts and bolts” dealings took place between us and the management company that handles the building’s rental issues. Upon arrival all of the parking spaces that were supposed to be reserved for our home were taken. All of their literature claimed that parking permits would be left inside the unit but there were none to be found. The company rectified the parking issue the following day. The building had been freshly painted inside and out, and there was a strong paint odor that pervaded all areas of the living space. The window cranks were missing which we surmised was done in anticipation of the painting operation; however, when we inquired about opening the windows to air out the house, we were told that the cranks had been intentionally removed, likely to eliminate insects and moisture from entering. Fresh air could be found by sitting on the deck off the living room and on the roof deck which provided a lovely, panoramic view of the ocean. That said, it would have been helpful to have access to fresh outside air inside the house, given that the paint smell was pretty overpowering. The house was nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The house is located on the front row of a development overlooking the community pool. During our visit the temperatures were cool and the pool area was quiet. However, during warmer months I would assume the pool could be quite busy. The house was convenient to all the shopping and dining offerings of St. Simons. Everyone in our party enjoyed our stay, and we would recommend the vacation home to anyone interested in a seaside escape to a lovely area. ”
