Nice condo and close to the beach

This is an older gated condo community but it has been upgraded and is in good shape. There is plenty of parking, outside or under cover. There is a nice pool are and plenty of space to walk a dog. The beach is nice and also has a gated walkway. There is a furnished balcony that is nice to get outside in the fresh air and laundry inside the unit is a nice perk. There are also bike paths nearby so you can ride to restaurants and shops. We had a very good experience.

East Beach Stay

Everything was acceptable with our needs. We especially enjoyed the elevator, especially with my knee issues. I do think you could provide more than one replacement for the kitchen garbage! EH

Great location with direct beach access down a bit from East Beach, so it isn't as crowded. Condo is simple but great for being at the beach. The patio is large with a nice table.

A Great Getaway for 3 or 4 People, with a Pet

This is an older (circa 1982) condo, there's no denying that. But with two BR and two BA and allowing small pets, it's a great little place to go for a "beachfront" vacation (although the shore is actually over 1/3 mile walk). Another nice feature of this particular condo is that since there is no 3rd floor above this particular 2nd floor unit (unlike the others on the 2nd floor) you get no noise from the floor above, yet only have to climb stairs to the second floor. Yes there is an elevator and yes it worked but this unit is right next to the stairs on the end so you end up using the stairs mostly. The kitchen was a bit dated but the microwave and coffee maker worked great. The ceiling fans in each room were a nice plus as well, as were the nice TVs with cable in each BR and living room. Location on Island is great; close to all restaurants/shopping, but in a safe and quiet area. Would stay again for the price versus features and location.

unit needed repairs

I filled this out earlier??? Had lots of rain, master bedroom ceiling leaked in 2 places (we moved bed). Maint guy came (Sun.) said lots of damage in ceiling/roof, temp repaired. Roofer came, said when unit was empty, needed lots of repairs. Had stains from leaks on ceiling from earlier problems. Should have been seen. Return AC vent in entrance leaked, filter was FULL (no one checked??). Now, decor was nice, had lots of usuable items, good TV instructions. But owner had outdated list inside cabinet door.

Perfect for a family of 4...

Very nice location. Easy to find and a short drive to shops and the lighthouse. Two minute walk to the pool and beach not much farther. Beach itself was very nice for kids, especially at low-tide. Nice area for pets to get out and roam a bit. Home stocked with everything needed for a long weekend... one trip to the store for food and we were set.

Awesome!

We had a great time! The condo was perfect - we will be looking to stay at the same condo when we return to St. Simons. Loved the fact that it was pet friendly even though sometimes pets can be a handful when on vacation! The condo was clean and had anything and everything we could have needed. Great location - just a boardwalk away from the beach and extremely close to the Pier area/shops.
