Jekyll Island Golf Tourney Week

I would have to say, the family really enjoyed the stay here. Very convenient to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Also not a bad spot for runners like myself. My kids loved the bunk beds as well as the pool, even though they only got two days in the pool due to golf practices. The location was good for us since we had one kid on one course and another kid on the opposite end of the island. I would definitely spend another week or two here.

This was one of the cleanest and best managed properties we have ever stayed. The house is brand new and feels like home away from home. Every detail and need is considered. We fell in love with the decoration, wall art, objects around the house etc. Pool was great and my two teenage boys had so much fun. The property management team was on top of everything and answered every single question very promptly. If you are looking for a rental at St Simon’s area look no further. We can’t wait to come back sometime soon.

Comfortable, clean and perfect for families!

We really enjoyed our stay and felt like it was going to be a great vacation the minute we pulled into the driveway. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more. The pool was so nice to have because we had some windy cooler days but the kids still had a blast swimming. (We paid for the pool to be heated.)The property management team had a lot of little extras to make our stay comfortable like a kit with batteries and a screwdriver, which came in handy! Shampoo, conditioner and body wash in each of the showers was a plus as well as the dual Keurig coffee maker so you can make a pot or use k cups.We would definitely consider staying in this house again when we return!
