Great family stay
We really enjoyed our stay. We loved that every room had a bathroom and the kitchen was a comfortable meeting place for the extended family. We also loved that the house was only a block from the beach which was very pretty. Communication was great and checkin very easy and smooth. Definitely recommend for large family or group.

It was lovely and with that heated pool at this time. . .perfect. Only issue someone thought about was that the normal refrigerator wasn’t larger for the number of people that were allowed. Still, everyone truly enjoyed it!! Thanks.

East Beach Perfection
This spacious house is loaded with character. There was lost of room for our large party to all be together and plenty of spaces for smaller groups or individual privacy. We took the short walk to the beach several times for daytime play and nighttime stargazing. The kids loved the pool and the extra cost for heating it was well worth it. SSI is magical and East Beach is very relaxed. This was the perfect place for us.

Great house! There is plenty of room and it is beautifully decorated. Great location with a one minute walk to the beautiful beach. There is not a hot tub on the premise as mentioned. Maintenance was quick to respond to humidifier not working in one bedroom.

Beautiful Family Vaction House
We had a wonderful time at the beautiful beach house! The house is decorated very uniquely, lots of very pretty, antique furniture. Emily was wonderful to communicate with, and clearly cares about the house very much. Love that linens and towels were provided, house was also well stocked with others useful items. Short walk to the beach and the bunk house being seperate from the main house served us well, as we have 12 cousins under the age of 12 and it gets noisy

As a family we have been traveling to the beach for over 40 years. This was the nicest house we have ever stayed in. From the amazing design, to the beautiful decor, to the gracious host, every little thing was as good as it could be. We will definitely be back!

Family Get Together
12 of us met up at Seastoday for a long weekend family reunion. The house was great with two balconies, a spacious kitchen/family room with large table and a large pool and deck area for ping pong and corn hole. (We played a family tournament one night.) The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. Easy walk to the spectacular beach to catch the sunrise or just hangout on the afternoon. Highly recommended.

Making Family Memories
Grandparents, parents, and kids of all ages drove from three different states for a beautiful week in St Simons. We couldn't have designed a more perfect house for us. The kitchen was the center of nightly card playing after the little ones went to bed. The bunk room gave our teens privacy. The connected bedrooms were ideal for parents of toddlers. Two sets of washer/dryers helped with all of the beach towels. The pool wasn't too deep for the little people to enjoy safely. Besides the layout and room arrangement of this house, the linens, beds, and furnishings made for a very cozy and comfortable vacation. We slept better than at home! The owner and housekeeper were just a text away if we needed anything. When there was a minor maintenance issue, the maintenance guy was there within hours and checked on us regularly. We have stayed on 11th in East Beach in the past so we were familiar with the proximity to the beach. The house is just a short walk through a charming path to the water. We would love to come back for another memory filled beach vacation in this most perfect house.

What an amazing home. There were 10 of us celebrating 50 years of friendship. This was the perfect place. There was plenty of bedroom space and lots of space for us to gather as a group and enjoy visiting. At the end of the trip, we were wishing we'd had more time to stay and enjoy the lovely pool. We would highly recommend this home with plenty of space and wonderful location to St Simons and Jekyll Island.
