Bella Vita

House was nice with a great layout. It needs a little bit of updating and the hot tub did not work. Close and convenient to everything.

I would say that our visit started out a bit rocky. When we first arrived, we found the front door unlocked, so that was a bit unnerving upon our late night arrival. Once we got inside the house and confirmed it was empty, we found the house to be charming. The house was clean and aside from the pool area, everything was spotless. There was some leftover debris from the recent storm in the patio/pool area. We had a few issues with the quality of household items, such as the blinds in the bathroom and 1st bedroom on the main floor tearing immediately after trying to open them. The property manager had the pool area cleaned and the grass cut about halfway through our stay, which was nice. The beach was about a 10-15 minute walk from the house . The patio area was very cute. We ended up storing our rented bikes in there throughout the stay. One downside to the trip is that one our of rented bikes was stolen off of the porch in the middle of the night, so be sure to lock up your rented bikes.

We had a great time here. St Simon is a nice laidback island and the house was great.

Had a very good time!

Very enjoyable

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bella Vita! The pool is new this season, and it is fabulous! The pool deck and furniture are so nice. There were even a few floats for us to use. The house was spacious and very clean. We will definitely stay here again.

Julie helped with booking and questions. Brooke helped with calls. Shan brought items to fix issues. I am so impressed with how responsive REP has been. We would love to rent again!

Large house in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance to beach. Even though the pool wasn't completed as they had hoped, we still had a great stay and would definitely rent again.

We enjoyed a quiet and relaxing stay. The house is lovely and our puppy enjoyed the back yard. Would definitely stay here again!

Great rental experience with Real Escapes Properties. The house was clean and just like the pictures. The office staff was friendly and flexible with our stay. The house had everything we needed and the location was great. walking distance to the beach and surrounded by mature trees and other beautiful homes. No complaints!

We appreciated a pet friendly house that had a solid fence for our dog. The back yard and the screened porch are great places to hang out, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Nice beds and linens. Nicely decorated and in a great location.

We look forward to the month of October and our vacation @ the East Beach all year long! We are never disappointed!

This was a much larger house than we needed but we chose it because it is pet friendly. It would be a very good value for a group of 8 or 10, but we will try to stay at a cozier place next time.

Manager's Response

It was pleasant however there could be more dishes and serving pieces like pasta bowls etc for serving dinner the exterminators did an excellent job this year I think the landscapers could have come more frequently because the backyard was filled with a carpet of those squigly's also the TV package for Xfinity was extremely limited couldn't even get National Geographic

Easy,stress free,accommodating,and pleasant.

East Beach house that's been re-done to make it very user friendly. Pets welcome. Location is spectacular. Bedding, appliances, & extras (sand toys, beach towels, beach chairs etc) are all good quality & available for use. Very satisfied

The house was perfect in every way. Having four bedrooms and a fenced yard was ideal for our family, including dogs. The house is a short, one block walk to the path that leads to the beach. We loved being in the East Beach area, with all the lovely homes and old oak trees. We were a short drive to the Lighthouse, Pier, shops and amazing restaurants. We will definitely be back!!

My family has vacationed at SSI for over 30 years. Our experience in this home was wonderful. It was well equipt, spacious, comfortable, convenient, and decorated nicely. The fenced backyard was great for our golden retriever AND for us. We used the grill and sat around the garden table at night. The "party lights" were enjoyable ! The beds were comfortable and the kitchen offered everything we needed. It is a fairly long walk to the beach, but it was doable and it was nice. We love the beach in that area and are hoping to stay at Bella Vita again next year!

Wonderful holiday. Great house. Everything was as described. Close to the beach. Real Escape Properties were wonderful to deal with. Will be back next year.

We enjoyed the convenience to our home while floors were being replaced at our house.
