We were looking for a place where we could bring our dog and be close to our daughter who lives on the Island. Nice lay out and comfortable. Owner was very responsive and forgiving when we reported that we broke the coffee pot. Sorry about that.
Loved staying at this property! As soon as you walk in, it just smelled fresh and clean. Very spacious. Plenty of room for our family. Just a lovely home. It is centrally located on the island, so it is just a short drive to the beach, the Village, shopping, movies, etc. Also has a nice little back yard to enjoy, including a gas grill for grilling out. Would recommend this home to anyone! Definitely would consider staying here again on a return trip to the island!
This home is our home away home! We love staying here. The neighborhood is very quiet and good location. Love how the house is set up, the master bedroom is on the opposite side of house. It has a good backyard and laundry room. Love having 3 bathrooms too!
House was beautiful and very well furnished. Great setup for us with the master on one side and the children on the other. Very centrally located. Minutes to Beach and dining out. Host was very communicative and always informative. A great place to stay with the family and enjoy St. Simons!
My family and I spent a weekend in St Simons at Sharon's property. It's a beautiful home in a great and safe neighborhood. It's in a prime location on the island, super close to most of the restaurants and stores. We were able to walk to a lot of places which was great. Quiet at night. The home itself is well maintained and spacious with a large backyard area and good parking. Sharon was easy to communicate with and super helpful. There were plenty of accessories and items available for us during our stay. We really loved this place and would definitely come back again!
This location was ok, but there are issues with communication and a document you have to sign days before check in. This leaves little to no time to change location, because everything is booked. We have a property on the other "big" site and do not require renters to sign this ridiculous contract for short term day/weekly rental. This document should at least be made shorter and more applicable. It requests for a check or credit card number to be sent outside VRBO. There was not enough time to send the check because it was not requested in a timely manner. I ended up asking for the extra fee/damage deposit to be charged within VRBO instead of outside of VRBO. 8 days later I checked with my credit card company and it had still not been refunded. I had to request the refund. It was refunded at that point. I would never stay here due to not receiving my money back in a timely manner. Also, there are inconsistencies with check in time listed on VRBO and when you can actually check in. There is also mention of a cleaning fee amount in the listing, but you get charged a differnt amount for the cleaning fee when you start really analyzing all the wording in the listing. Also, we were sent an e-mail outside VRBO explaining issues with the property in order to be "transparent" and told we would be refunded a certain percent due to these issues (not listing those issues here, but told they were taking the property down to make repairs). No communication on that refund yet. Trying to give factual feedback as I can here.
The Keurig leaked and was not usable. Gas grill ran out of propane in the middle of cooking the first night. As for the backyard, it needs to have a lot of leaf litter removed. We saw a snake crawl right past one of our dogs while he was out there. Leaves were almost as high as the porch (in that area). My husband swept the back porch leaves off. I do not like communicating outside of VRBO for payments.
Positives: Home was centrally located. Liked that they seemed to cater to being dog friendly. Home was cute. Easy to walk your dogs in this neighborhood.
Listing is accurate. Kitchen is well equipped for making meals at home. We biked all over the island from the house including the beach and village. Overall pleased.
This house was so comfortable, clean, and well stocked! The pictures honestly don’t do it justice. We stayed here for a week and honestly wish we had booked for longer. The location is perfectly situated in the middle of everything we wanted to do on St. Simons. Sharon was super responsive and so easy to work with! We will definitely see if this house is available for our next visit.
We love St Simons and this place!!! Everything that we needed for a week at the beach was there. Super safe and quiet neighborhood and perfect accommodations.
The beach home was incredibly charming and comfortable. It was perfect for two couples with room to spare. The location was convenient to everything we needed and Sharon was so responsive and helpful. We will definitely return next time we visit SSI.
The moment you walk through the door you feel at home. Nothing is yours, but it’s all familiar; the comfy couches, kitchen gadgets and dishes, welcome basket, and really anything else you can imagine. The layout worked perfectly for two separate groups, and the proximity to East Beach meant minutes to arrive beachside. Host is kind, considerate, and quick to respond. We’ll be back!
We loved the house, the neighborhood, the closeness to everything, & the fact our 17 yr old and her friend could go and do whatever they wanted. Oh another fun fact, our senior dog enjoyed all of it as well!!
Loved SSI.
Sharon was amazing!!!!!
Location: perfect
House: perfect
We enjoyed our stay - as did our small dog! The yard, the location, the furnishings, everything was great and we’d love to return!
Our first visit. Location central to St. Simon so good for island discovery. Access to key stores, restaurants, beach, golf courses excellent. Good for dogs re fenced back yard, multiple walk opportunities outside the front door. Grill ignition did not appear to work, but only issue with function.
Our family had a great time at this property. Very clean and comfortable with lots of great extras like, beach towels, filtered water, and a fire pit. Great location, lots of stores and restaurants within walking distance as well as a quick bike ride to the beach. I look forward to visiting this home again!
We enjoyed our stay in your home. Thank you for helping us to create memories. My nieces played board games and we enjoyed the fire pit the first night. We watched the AU/AL game, too. We visited the lighthouse and WWII museum during our stay and that was a big hit with the dads! The kids also played a game of put-put. :) Checking in and out was easy and Sharon was quick to respond. Thank you again!!
We enjoyed our stay in Druid Oaks! Susan was easy to work with and communicative. House is very comfortable and as you seen in the pictures. More than enough space for 2 adults, our teen daughter and our two pups! Fenced in backyard was nice to have traveling with two dogs. Cute house. Cute neighborhood. Good location. Check out Southern Soul BBQ which is right around the corner! Would recommend Druid Oaks to others looking for a house in SSI.
All around great property, location and owner and dog friendly too!! The decor and yard were all we could hope for and the owner was available and responsive for questions. Would highly recommend!!
Absolute gem of a place on St. Simons + amazing host!
Sharon was an amazingly responsive & attentive host. Her house is wonderful -- 3 bed, 3 bath, with lots of common space, a great kitchen, in unit laundry, a gorgeous backyard with a fire pit, just around the corner from Southern Soul BBQ. They even have beach chairs! We rented bikes & loved exploring St. Simons, which is incredibly dog friendly (we also brought our pup to Sharon's, which was great.) Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Sharon Troisi
My husband and I purchased this house 8 years ago for our future retirement. In the meantime, it’s been rented to family members and long term renters. We just love St Simons and our little house! It’s a nice open floor plan with plenty of space for 6 people comfortably and the location is perfect. Close to everything but off of beautiful Old Demere Road and on a quiet street. We have 2 labs who love the beach here so pets are definitely welcomed upon approval!
Why they chose this property
We are 1.3 miles to Coast guard beach, 2 miles to the Village with its shops restaurants and the Pier and Lighthouse and only 1/2 mile to Redfern Village, Winn Dixie and lots of shops and restaurants. We have a nice private fenced in yard with a firepit !
What makes this property unique
We use this house alot so we made sure it has everything that we would want and need and that means it comes well stocked for our guests. We want it to feel like home when our guests stay!
