Long weekend on East Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful and relaxing visit to St. Simons to see friends. The home was spotless with a fun pool. Not big enough for laps but great for floating on hot summer days. The screened front porch was great for afternoon cocktails and snacks.

Great location -

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bella Vita Cottage was close to the beach and located in the quiet East Beach area. It was about a 10 min walk to the beach so renting a golf cart or bringing a beach friendly wagon (loose sand part of the way) is ideal. The house...The pool area was beautiful, the hot tub bubbles turn on in the morning and run for a few hours. We did not pay to get it heated. The pool had different levels of seating so it was very nice and relaxing. Lots of seating around the pool as well.The living room was nice. Lots of seating and comfortable temp even with the glass door.The kitchen was very dirty. Thick dust along the tops of the cabinets, dirty silverware, dirty cups, questionable plastic cutting boards that were melted and lots of gouges... a lot of things out of places, mismatched lids, just a lot of stuff that could not be used. The counters are cracked and there is a lot of food splatters on the blinds above the sink. There were food splatters down the side of the cabinets as well. Food splatters and grime on the walls and pantry. Just didn’t give you a good clean kitchen feel. This was addressed, they offered to come clean it while we were there but didn’t want to leave someone in the house while we were gone with our stuff. Was told they didn’t have time to clean well between flips...and it was quite obvious.The bathroom downstairs was small, no venting so it got a little steamy after a shower. The shower curtain was missing a few hooks and the towels were stained and gross.The bedroom downstairs had a lot of things shoved in odd places, broken outlet covers on the floor of the closet, dirty linens (this was addressed and resolved the same day), flat pillows and dirty yellow stained pillows, no extra cases if you wanted to use extra pillows (this was addressed and handled as well).The blinds in the bathrooms upstairs were broken and people could see in. That was addressed and we were

Such a pleasant experience!

Real Escapes is the friendliest rental agency that I’ve ever worked with. Their office staff is so kind and accommodating. We had to be in town very early for a golf tournament, and they did everything that they could to ensure we could check in early. The property was perfect for us! The kitchen and bathrooms are outdated, but you know this when booking. Aside from that, all furniture and bedding is new and very comfortable. We loved that there were two separate king sized masters. Unfortunately on our last night, one of the king sized beds supports broke, and it appeared they had been previously repaired. The office staff was so kind about the situation, and assured it would be resolved the next day for upcoming guests. The location is great, and we really enjoyed the screen porch. The pool area is the highlight of the property! I will say, I’m not sure if the house next door is a rental or not, but we were outside around 11pm, and didn’t think we were being too loud. We did have a neighbor come over a state that they were trying to sleep and hastily walk away, so just know that if you’re night owls, this could be a problem.

A bit dated, but a prime location and the price balance it out.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Positives:* Great location within an easy five minute walk to East Beach, which in my family's opinion, is the best section of beach on SSI.* Plenty of room for three families of six adults and three young children.* Heated pool and large deck area was a hit with kids and adults alike.* The price was right for a house of this size on the prized East Beach section of SSI.* House was clean. Negatives:* One A/C unit for both upstairs and stairs left you freezing downstairs and sweltering upstairs. This needs addressing by the owners/management. * Furniture was 1990's chic but not worn out.* Kitchen was very basic and small.* Bathrooms were small. At the end of day, we got our money's worth.
