34th Anniversary Trip
It was perfect. We were able to walk to the beach and all the restaurants and even the ice cream shop. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. The bungalow was just perfect, very clean and cozy.

Quaint
We stayed in this quaint little one room cottage for a week. I think 3 - 4 days would have been better for such a small space, but we made the best of it. Ultimately, we enjoyed our stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a good location and had plenty of room. However, if I were to give one recommendation is that the room smells like mildew or could have some mold somewhere in that apartment.

Great location in a nice neighborhood
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights and had a great time. We brought our bikes and mostly we used them to go everywhere. The beach is only a 5 minute walk and all the shops and restaurants where jus a bike away. We read a previous review that complained about the heat and humidity, but for us, we had no issues at all. The place was clean, cool, and very comfortable. We will be back hopefully soon.

Directions need to be clearer, because GPS takes one to the front of the house. The toaster did not work. The wifi worked only half of the time. It took a LONG time to get hot water. But great location, clean place, comfortable bed

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location but it seem a little stuffy, like we needed more ventilation or the windows that were a little more in working order. It also could use a little more shelving to store items. Over all it was a pleasant stay in a quiet friendly neighborhood.

Mostly Great
First- the not so good: apartment is very dark and the only way to easily let in much light was to open the front door which basically opens to your car & the street. Also, be aware that there is nowhere to sit outside. And, the water… recommend bringing your own to drink. Hot water takes forever to come up and when it does, it smells kind of like glue. But, there is lots of positives about this snug little studio: the bed was by far the most comfortable bed we’ve slept in that wasn’t home. Small, but firm, great pillows too. Kitchen was well equipped with good quality cookware. Excellent Wi-Fi. Good lighting & temperature control. Cute decor. Very clean. Easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Overall, we were very happy and felt it was a good value.

Great location!
The check in experience wasn’t smooth. We didn’t receive an access code from the owner on the day of check in, as indicated in the confirmation email. We had to email and make multiple phone calls to the property management company to obtain it. The property owner never sent it to us, so we finally obtained it from the property management company. It was a relief, since it was a 4th of July holiday and we were not sure if they’d even be open. The property itself is comfortable and has everything you need for a few days stay. The beach access is just a couple of minutes walk away. The center of town with shops and restaurants is close too, a beautiful 15-20 min walk. The cottage was clean except for the couch, that had stains and dirty marks. The overall stay was pleasant, as the island itself had a beautiful peaceful atmosphere and a fantastic sandy beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location for this rental was perfect walking distance from all that you would like to get to in the town. The neighborhood that it is in is also very delightful. The guest house is perfect for a couples stay and has all that you need for a week trip. The property was very clean on arrival and included all the amenities need to be able to cook and clean. The grill was also in great condition which we got to use for a couple of the nights that we stayed. I would definitely recommend this location to any friends or family as well as the main house. Overall this was an extremely good trip and the stay was instrumental in that. I would definitely choose this location again. Some of the cool places that we got to check out were Barrier brewing company, Georgia Sea Grill and we also rented bikes from Two Brothers Bike Company. I would also recommend going to the beach at the Neptune Road or Arnold Road entry to the main beach where the tide is not too high.

read past reviews they're spot on and have not been fixed even though they say they have. we arrived late at night tired from a long trip, when i opened the door the mildew/ humidity hit me harder than will smith at the oscars. wet walls, bed and pillows. too tired, too late to do anything about it my first night was horrible. a/c unit has a drainage issue dumps moisture back into the room. emmonds said there was supposed to be a dehumidifier set up in the room, that right there should be the clue that something is wrong. they brought the dehumidifier over. i stayed a week humidity inside was north of 80% (gage didnt go higher) eventually it went down to 55% i put candles all over the place and sprayed febreeze on everything daily to make it bearable. ran the bathroom exhaust and dehumidifier 24/7. empty dehumidifier every 3 hrs. ignore the noise they make best you can. shame because its a nice little place and cleaning out the a/c drain is super easy for the right repairman. almost did it myself but im on vacation and i was already doing more than i should have. thankfully the time of year meant i didnt have to run the a/c much which allowed the dehumidifier to catch up i feel sorry for someone in the summer. humidity issue aside it is a nice, clean place in a good location and i would stay there again if issues were fixed. door drap is see thru didnt bother me, people can see in i feel sorry for the neighbors im way past my prime.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed 9 days at this property and had a good experience after an awkward start. GPS takes you to the front of the property and directions are not clear to go to the backside of the garage. It was adequate for my needs and quieter than an inn. The internet was in and out, and it took a long time to get hot water. Otherwise great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My college best friend and I like to meet up for a beach trip once a year and this property was Perfect for what we needed. It’s a block away from the beach and we easily were able to walk to the downtown and to The King and Prince. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were clean. The studio had a nice little kitchenette, perfect for coffee and little snacks, but we went out to eat for the most part. I do wish the property had an outside shower to rinse off in, but other than that it was great!

Disliked: Communication
Upon arriving to the property, we unlocked the front door and noticed a certain smell that resembled water damage/mold. I noticed the ceiling was sagging in certain areas. The air in the unit felt damp/humid which made the bedsheets feel wet, so we plugged in our own fan and turned the a/c on 65°, and we ended up putting our own blanket on top and using our own pillows. We endured 2 nights trying to sleep on the bed but it was very uncomfortable (lumpy and uneven). The front door has no blinds, and the curtain is see-thru (you can be seen from the outside). The clear shower curtain has mold and hardwater stains. Oh...and good luck trying to get in touch with the host once you arrive. They never answered the phone when we tried calling about the non-working internet. Lastly, the pics of the unit look better than seeing the unit in person. I didn't want to do a review, but I feel it is necessary so that others will know before booking. On a positive note, we were grateful for even finding a vacant unit around our anniversary and being able to enjoy the attractions at St Simons island and Jekyll island. Though this unit was the most affordable we could find in that area, sad to say, we won't be making a second stay. I wish I had something nice to say about the host but we never were fortunate to have met or even spoken in person.
