Our first time on SSI was highly successful due to staying at Sharon’s home. We had all of the essentials for a home away from home. Communication was clear and responsive. Great location with access to the beach and local amenities. Looking forward to our next trip to the island.

This home was perfect for our family. It is easy in and out for anyone who can't do stairs. Our daughter was on a scooter with a broken leg and it was perfect and easy for her to maneuver . Is close to everything. We took advantage of the public pool on the island which was reasonable and really nice. The temperature of the house was perfect on those hot days. The host was really nice and quick to respond to questions. . We would definitely stay here again

Fabulous home and location. We visited my wife’s eldeyparents who live in Jesup. Our son’s family was able to join us sort of the moment and this home was perfect. I will say hone instead of house, because that is what it was to us when we first walked in. Very clean and inviting. Well kept, and and provided all we needed for our stay.

We had an amazing time!!! The house was perfect! It was spotless, stocked, and very spacious!!! The backyard was a great size for our two dogs to romp around. This house is absolutely beautiful inside and out. It's totally southern beach charm!!! It's easy to find. It takes about 5 minutes to drive to East Beach and not too much further to the shops.

Great St. Simon's Location

This was a great place and very roomy for a small group. Wonderful seating with chairs, couch and table etc. A Very nice compact back yard but just perfect for a evening or early morning outside. A great kitchen area and all the necessary items needed. The only negative I have to say is that the water in the shower of the bathroom adjacent to the King Size bed room needs a little work. The water pressure was very very low and had to take a shower and wash hair.
