Spring Break Getaway

This is our 2nd year staying at this location, and we absolutely love it! Super convenient to walk around the town to the restaurants, pier and parks. Love the fenced in area for our pup. Very comfortable little cottage. Looking forward to our next trip down.

Could use some TLC

Overall the stay was great but this was a reflection of the area more than the property. The property could use some TLC - Cabinet doors askew and chipped paint, patio furniture rusting out and unsafe, very dated interior, busted countertop, tiny TVs, internet that cuts out frequently- it is obvious this is nothing more than a cash cow for someone trying to milk every dime out of it. Everything in the place is quite dated with the exception of some of the appliances. Kitchen has the bare minimum.

Saint Simon’s.

The location of the house is excellent. Not having to use our car once we get there matters. The house is very comfortable and there is a huge dog park nearby if we decide to take our dog with us.

Disappointing

When we arrived at the property, we were surprised that the outside of the property was dirty, in poor condition, and dangerous due to some rotted boards. After entering the property, we found the back door unlocked, some bugs, and the place had not been cleaned well. I contacted the rental agency and they got back to me the next morning and had an exterminator and cleaning crew come in to address the problems. In general, the property is old, dark, in need of repair and bringing up to date. We were excited to find a place so close to the village, but disappointed in the property itself. It is located at the edge of the village and the beach is a short walk away, which was ideal! The owner also has a huge book collection, so don’t worry if you didn’t bring something to read.

Cute, Quiet and Convenient

Property is exactly as described; charming and well-stocked in a quiet neighborhood that is just steps away from the pier village and Ocean Blvd. restaurants. I would stay there again.

Perfect Beach Week

The property was just as described. We brought the dogs and it was perfect. Location was close to park and even a dog park to take them to in the morning before it got too warm. Then it was also close enough to the beach to end the day with a nice walk on it with the dogs. Very near shops and restaurants.

Great location

Location is convenient to everything we want to do and we were able to have our furbabies with us! House was well appointed and clean. The neighborhood can be a bit noisy with the leaf blowers early in the morning.

Spring Break

This was our 2nd year in a row coming to SSI for break, and after staying at this location, we’ve already booked for next year!! You can not beat this location. We didn’t even use our car the entire week. The description of the place was on point. A little old, but quaint, and very comfortable. We can’t wait to come back next year.

Best place ever

Stayed here with my 2 dalmatians, my sister and her blue heeler for 4 weeks. As soon as we walked into yard and door to unit A we fell in love with this cozy warm cottage....we love to read and we were surrounded by bookshelves full of books. Many times we would look at each other and say" I really like this place...I could live here". Perfect for us. We have already booked for 2025.

Nothing fancy, but very livable (we were there for a month). Great location! Walking distance to the Pier and a dozen restaurants. Very comfortable bed, good kitchen, private patio, lots of books and games.

Fantastic!!

This was not only the perfect little condo, but it was in the best location. I communicated several times with the owner of the property prior to our arrival, and not only was she extremely responsive, she was delightful to work with! The condo was perfect, we could walk to everything even though we rented a golf cart, it was perfect for our dogs with the enclosed backyard, And it had everything we could’ve possibly needed for our weeklong vacation. On the drive home, we decided to go ahead and book the property again for our next trip in six weeks! This will absolutely be our property of choice every time we visit St. Simons.

Wanted to stay longer

This home was quaint and perfect for us. We loved the private outside fenced area. It was perfect for our dogs. We were right downtown to the restaurants, and the ighthouse was just steps away. I would suggest renting a golf cart, it was just a short drive to the beach. My only complaint, which is very small, would be that the dishwasher needs replacing. It doesn't clean well and we found dirty dishes in cabinets. We also had trouble cutting the shower off. But that was minor compared to our overall trip, and would definitely stay there again.

Great Location

I loved the location of this property. That is why I got it. The house is nothing fancy but has a nice patio and was perfectly comfortable. The price was great for what you get and the location. Most of the other rentals we saw were very nice and way too expensive. So this was a perfect fit.

Great location

This condo was in a great location. Since we haven’t stayed in St Simons Island before we weren’t sure where anything was except we knew we wanted to stay near the pier. The location was a walk to most everything and seem to be a very safe neighborhood. The furniture was comfortable and well kept. The outdoor area was great for the doors to have an area to run around so I didn’t have to take them out a least each time. Look forward to booking here again.

Kitchen was not stocked

Nice place and great location but when it comes to cooking and basic amenities that are typical in rental houses you will need to come more prepared…sugar, salt or pepper, maybe some olive oil or salad oil, plastic wrap or foil, things like that. We had none of that, nor was there a sponge or anything to wash dishes with. We were only given one trash bag for the kitchen can, the coffee maker wasn’t a Kreurig or k cup, made us have to go and get that as well. We made so many trips to the store around the corner just to be able to use the kitchen. Overall it was a nice stay and nice house, just didn’t expect to have to buy so many things to stay there for 3 days.

Needs some work.

They need a new cleaning people. Property was not clean inside and out. They came in to clean unit next next door and were yelling at each other and woke us up. Then they were only there for at most 20 minutes. Thing like our sock were dirty after walking on floor. Spider webs hanging from ceiling. Window need to be cleaned badly. Outside you couldn't sit without cleaning furniture. I would not recommend this place.

Excellent location in the Village. Close to all the Village offers yet off the main drag enough to be quiet. Would be great for a family - walk to everything. The beach is a short drive away (at high tide there is no beach around the Pier). Home needs updating, but provided everything we needed. We weren’t there for granite countertops or spa tubs. Would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Janna Mansker

Host profile image
As native Atlantans, we have always loved the Georgia coast and both grew up vacationing on St. Simons Island. We have wonderful memories of spending GA/FLA game weekends here, taking trips with our extended family and friends, and bringing both our children down for their first beach experiences. In spring of 2013 were visiting for spring break and stayed in Two if by Sea for the first time. We were immediately drawn to this unique home and its fantastic location in a neighorhood we've always loved. Noticing the property was for sale, we contacted the owner and the rest is history!

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location!! We love being able to walk or bike everywhere while still feeling at home in a real neighborhood.
