BEST VACATION EVER!

We booked a week to spend time with our grandchildren, ages 10-14. The location is great. Nicely furnished, perfect layout with plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Big dining table for eating together. We felt at home here and would definitely book it again. Waldo was very responsive to our text.

Amazing home! We will be back soon!

This home was just perfect! In person the home is even more beautiful than in the photos. The home is very spacious, clean and comfortable. The bedding was nice to sleep on. The home exceeded our expectations. My parents went along and they don't do stairs well so it was easily for them to navigate.

We enjoyed our stay - Very nice house in a quiet neighborhood.

Everything from the time we arrived until the time we had to leave was super nice. We felt like we were right at home there. The rooms were plentiful and well furnished. We like the location of the house also - easy access to the bike path, the beaches, Jekyll Island, along with shopping and dining. BTW, we really enjoyed Southern Soul BBQ - we recommend a trip there also :-) This was our 2nd vacation to Saint Simon's Island and we would certainly try to arrange staying in this house again. We were very happy during our stay. The Rhodes Family Dayton, OH

Wonderful vacation spot!

This was our first time to SSI and we didn’t know what to expect. The island was SO beautiful and full of rich history. The home was perfect for our family! So many thoughtful details for a family stay. We stayed with our 7 young children and it was amazing. The kids LOVED all the books and board games. I really appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was. Lots of serving bowls, Tupperware, baking dishes, and even a high chair. It really felt like visiting a family home and not just a generic vacation rental. Access to the garage for loading and unloading was helpful. We were so grateful for the extra beach chairs, sand pails, etc. Our only critique was that the grill needed to be cleaned and was pretty rusted so we just didn’t use it. But, that was a very minor issue! Thanks for the amazing stay!!!

College move-in weekend

We had five adults staying at the Sandcastle house while we moved our youngest daughter into her college dorm. There was plenty of room for everyone and the location was very convenient to everything on the island. I would definitely stay at this house again if we return to St. Simons Island.

Perfect getaway

The house was in a great central location, very close to the beach, lighthouse, and downtown. House was perfect for our family especially the kids room. Lots of puzzles, books, board games, and movies, which was a lovely surprise. Very clean and comfortable. The BEST part of our stay was the property manager! They were super responsive to any questions we had. Also, my grandmother had accidentally left some sentimental jewelry behind and the property owner was beyond helpful in getting it back to her which meant so much!!!

Perfect Family Vacation Home

Everything was great! Property in a quiet neighborhood, highly accessible and family-friendly, perfect one-level home with no steps which was super important for our elderly grandparents. Big appreciation for the cleanliness, large washer/dryer and stocked kitchen. Our multi-generational group enjoyed the available amenities/extras such as the charcoal grill, puzzles/board-games, good internet signal and two TVs with streaming service. We highly recommend this place!

Perfect Location

This house was incredibly comfortable for my family. It’s centrally located on the island and just a few minutes drive to multiple beaches as well as restaurants. The house came complete with games for both adults and blankets and chairs for the beach. We had a wonderful time and look forward to going back!

A fantastic family vacation stay!

This place is FANTASTIC! By far the cleanest place we've stayed at in St Simons island. The setup & layout of the house is family friendly. Not huge but was plenty of room for our crew to enjoy. The kitchen was well stocked; plenty of games & puzzles as well. The tv had Netflix & YouTube tv. The internet was very good, & the bathrooms had a good amount of towels. The furniture as been updated since these pictures & looks very nice, as well as a new dining table which fits the space perfectly. The house is beautifully decorated in St Simons island/beach theme. Simple, tasteful, & calming. Everything worked great except the master bathroom toilet. On arrival it wasn't flushing, we plunged it several times to no avail, finally on the fourth & final time we got the clog to clear! *Frustrating* Please note this was most likely a problem left by the previous renters & we did not contact the owners as we got the problem resolved. It worked properly the entire 8 days we stayed there. The outdoor space is small, & uncovered but quiet. (A charcoal grill) The laundry room is huge & so are the washer & dryer! You can tell they love this home & care about it. The neighborhood was very quiet & seemed to be mostly permanent residents. It's location was great for us. Right between East beach/coast guard station & downtown Mallery street. We rented bikes & found the "cut through" great! I would highly recommend this place! A+
