154 Gould Street

The property is real nice and maintained. The only flaw is the cable, although we were brought a firestick the basic cable did not work properly.

The overall experience with Gould Street was very pleasant! We loved that it was a short drive to the Beach, grocery store, etc. but also love the fact that we were able to walk down to the pier and the shops area to get ice cream or go out for a date night at the restaurants! The house itself was very beautiful and the pool was the best part. If we weren’t out and about we were in the pool in the afternoon and right before dinner! The property was very well maintained the lawn and pool people came while we were there and took great care of the outside. The inside was a little dusty in a few places that are obviously not used but none of the places that would have been mostly used. The only problem we had was about the kitchen cookware and kitchen utensils, it seemed it was very lacking especially for a family of 7+ that likes to cook for breakfast and dinner each day. Just seemed very minimal for a kitchen of that size. We did love everything else and will definitely return in the future!

The house was comfortable for our 3 families + 3 kids. The house layout was nice with bedrooms up and downstairs, and nice size family room. Overall upkeep of the house was minimal. Good location near Village and quiet neighborhood. Pool is in need of refurbishing. Main complaint was trash bins located right around the corner from pool area. Way too many flies and trash bins not large enough to hold garbage or need more frequent pick-ups. Also, kitchen had the bare essentials, with knives that were very dull.

Our vacation rental experience was very good. The location was within walking distance of the shopping district, pier, and parks. The pool was clean and a fantastic amenity that we used daily! The home was clean, each bedroom had a full bath available, and the kitchen had a great layout. We cooked almost all our meals there and found the extra fridge and spacious butler's pantry invaluable! Sunsets over the golf course made for the best evening photo ops too--just another added bonus!

Overall the stay was very nice. The home is in a great location just up the road from the village. It is very secluded and the bag pipes at sunset were so fun to hear. Home is very large and has an open floor plan so great for a large group. Dining room let us have a very nice dinner prepared by a private chef. There is also a fire pit which was great since the weather permitted.

On the down side you can tell this is an investment rental property and not something someone owns personally and takes care of. Furniture is old and not comfortable. You can tell the house is not cared for personally. The kitchen faucet leaks. The upstairs AC unit was not working and we had to stay at another location the first night because it was just to warm. The company did a good job of resolving the issue and Brook was great. Would be nice if someone checked on the house prior to our arrival and these things could have been avoided.

Awesome spot as always, could use some updating on the furniture, one pane of glass was broken in a bedroom for our entire stay, I would still stay there again

I love the location of this property and enjoy the size and layout.

Great location, but the house is in need of some repairs, as well as general updating and a decor makeover. Further, the basic cable was really basic (no ESPN, TBS, SEC Network etc), so fining sports not on the basic 2 networks was impossible... The owner should really think about that one.

House was in a great location and had plenty of room. It was a beautiful home and overall the stay was great. The entry locks were very difficult and frustrating and there is not enough there is not enough trash cans for a home this size. The trash was overloaded and stinking when we arrived. The kitchen did not have enough utenzils/pans/bowls. The remotes need posted instructions for each of the televisions. These are all owner issues and the rental company was great to respond to our needs. With a little TLC, the house would be a "5". The house is very conveniently located to downtown - within walking distance and there is a nice beach access very close when the tide is out. The main beach is only about 5 minutes driving time.

3 families stayed with young children and teenagers. We enjoyed the house especially the location for our teenagers. I had a few suggestions for home owners but we would definitely stay again.

property no very clean upon checkin furniture in family room ver uncomfortable ceiling fan not working in family room ceiling fan on back porch not working both of these fan did not work last year eitherowner does not seem to car about comfort of renters funiture on front porch you can not sit on it very rusty and falling apart

There are positives and negatives to this house but overall we had a good time. We really enjoy the village so being able to walk and bike there was a definite plus. The house is one block to beach access but the "beach" is only accessible during low tide and it's not really a swim location but is good for exploring and finding hermit crabs. It's only a short drive to East Beach though if you want to hang out at the beach. The house is on the golf course but the shrubs are overgrown and largely blocking the view. We could hear the bagpipes in the morning and evening from the golf course and that was cool. We also enjoyed watching the small planes flying to the airport. The house is spacious but there are only four actual bedrooms. There is at least one pull out couch and other couches that could be used for sleeping but it would be tight for families with teens/adults. The house is older and has been updated but the age is definitely showing. The sink in one bathroom didn't work at all. There is mold growing on the ceiling in that same bathroom. The pool is in need of repairs but is useable. The metal furniture outside needs to be replaced.

The inside of the house is ok. The living area only has seating for 5 people. There are two additional chairs in there but they are broken down and worn in. Really uncomfortable! The outside is awful! The pool plaster is breaking off inside the pool and the deck areas. The outside furniture is TERRIBLE. the couch and chair area. The furniture. Is littererly broken and coming apart everywhere with broken down cushions. The furniture in the front is metal and rusted and nasty!

The house was OK, It was not as clean as I thought it should be for the price, the kitchen in particular had sticky dishes and the glasses and cups were nasty.We had to run everything thru the dishwasher to safely use and there was food and garbage under the couches and the furniture was dirty. Overall not real pleasant for the price then they screwed up on the days we were there.

Thank you and everything was great! Will most definitely be back soon. The home and staff were awesome!

We loved this home and will rent again

We have enjoyed this spacious and beautiful home for two summer family vacations. Everyone has plenty of space, yet enough room to share the living room, dining room and pool. The backyard views are breathtaking!

We love 154 Gould! We love the layout. Plenty of room for our family. The pool is a great bonus! Thanks again Real Escapes--can't wait till our next visit.

Great Location, home was clean and very spacious

This was a great house that hosted two families.There was just a couple of concerns that we had. The first one we were very excited when we saw the chefs kitchen, however the kitchen needs to be stocked with utensils they were very limited.For a house to accomodate 10 people the utensils were very limited.Ex. not enough silverware and very outdated frying pans. They did not offer enough towels and wash cloths to accomodate 10 of us.We had a issue with the refrigerator not cooling but was fixed after we had been there for 5 days. The bed in the master bedroom needs to replaced.The cleaning needs to be looked at by a manager. The furniture needs to be moved and swept under. Other than that this home was great we wanted to rent it again for Spring Break for 2022 only to call and find out they were increasing the rate an extra $1700.00, had that not been the case it would have been booked.

OVERALL ENJOYED OUR VISIT. ACCOMMODATIONS WERE SATISFACTORY FOR OUR PARTY. COULD REALLY USE SOME BEDSIDE TABLES IN BEDROOMS AND MORE TV CHANNELS

Easy check in and check out. The location was excellent. The appliances are great. The tv stations are VERY limited and the upstairs tv did not work. The one bedroom had no curtains so offered no privacy. Very chilly the week we were there and we could not figure out the thermostats, it would be helpful if instructions were posted for renters. Overall, nice house.

The property was clean. We would appreciate cleaning crew checking ahead for appropriate number of handtowels in each bathroom, and light bulbs changed and lamps functioning. Two of three lamps in family room either did not work or had no bulb. We had cleaning crew replace 4-5 light bulbs before our stay was over. The management provided good customer service, but we would prefer things were checked in advance instead of at our request. I know your company can't predict, but both years we have secured a vacation rental on St. Simon's Island, there has been noisy construction going on right across from our rental with work crew trucks in and out and noisy cement trucks!

Great house and location. Very convenient to downtown restaurants and pier. Had an issue with the upstairs A/C on our Saturday arrival. The repairman was there to fix it within 2 hours. No other issues.

So close to the village that takeout took less than 10 minutes to accomplish; so close to the shore that sunrise walks were serene, pool made the days relaxing, and the views from inside made the sunsets magnificent.

Location! Location! We fell in love with this home for our family vacation! We had lots of fun in the pool, walking to the village to let the toddlers play on the playground and relaxing in the spacious home. Just a short drive to the public beach and our favorite restaurants. We plan to stay here again!

Enjoyed the week. The pool is great and large enough for the whole family to swim. Easy to walk to the village.

First time staying at this property and management company. Photos of the property were generally accurate and home has been nicely updated. The home was very clean with the exception of the kitchen which the management company rectified the following day. However, family room chairs need the cushions replaced, kitchen table stools are oounter height and not suitable around a table and pool lounge chairs are broken down. that said, the house was well equipped with plenty of nice linens and all the basics. The beds appeared to be new and the mattresses extremely comfortable. Our guest said he could not remember when he had slept so well. The pool was well maintained and much larger than you normally find, my granddaughter was happy she could swim laps. With such a beautiful location, the view could be enhanced if some of the overgrowth bushes beyond the wall were cut back in order to see the golf course and ocean. This being the Fourth of July and more crowded than usual, we only ate out once on SSI, Barbara Jeans, and once on Jekyll, we ordered pizza from the Mellow Mushroom. SSI is my favorite beach location on the southeast coast and we have been visiting for 30 years. Although there have been any changes over the years, it hasn't lost its charm and we will continue to return a few times each year.
