Big Oak on Butler

We loved the great location of this house. We could just walk all over the downtown area and the beach and pier. We did drive to other areas, but some days we didn’t need a car.The house was decorated beyond what you can imagine. I was continually finding new items that I hadn’t seen before. The bedrooms were all great and worked for our group. We really appreciated the 3 1/2 bathrooms. The WiFi worked great along with the AC and heat. (We needed both.) Washer & dryer were great.

I specifically chose it over more sterile updated condos, etc, because I prefer the charm of an older home with a little more space to spread out. It's a little worn, but also appropriately priced for the space and location it offers. This is a great choice for families or multiple couples to have their own rooms and bathrooms and a kitchen and common space to relax and hang out. Notes for visitors to SSI: I highly recommend you research your dining options in advance and make reservations ahead of your arrival.

We had a great stay at Big Oak on Butler! Could walk to the village and pier, so lots of shopping, fishing, and seafood eating! Also just a block or two from beach great for shells.

Our first place had an AC crash, this was what they replaced it with. An amazing upgrade to say the least. One block away from everything the strip had to offer, yet still very peaceful and quiet.

We had a ladies trip and stayed at this house. It has lots of room and we really enjoyed our stay. The best part of the house is the location to the village! Just steps away to be able to walk to shopping, restaurants, the pier and lighthouse. We loved it!

Satisfying. Enjoyed the open yard for guest activities. Easy walk to Village and eating establishments. Kitchen is tired, but well supplied. Outdoor shower needs an enclosure.

The over house was great with plenty of room. House clean except for parts of refrigerator. House rules well posted. Great location, close to town and pier. Walked early am & always felt safe to walk alone.
Thanks for letting us stat!h

Great location on quiet street within walking distance to shopping, restaurants, beach and pier. Loved the swing under the massive “Big Oak”. Decor was so much fun - surprises in every room. Would recommend home and Real Escapes.

The property was exactly what we were looking for. The location could not have been better. The size was even larger than expected. The eclectic design added to our experience. My only wish for future stays would be if it were pet-friendly.

Loved the house layout and decor. Also perfect location for shops, walking, beach, etc

The house is very welcoming and unique. Plenty of space for everyone without ever feeling crowded. The little town is an extremely easy walk and very adorable. The food is amazing (Try Iguanas! So so good!) We ended up needing to stay an extra night and the woman I spoke with was absolutely amazing and super helpful. If you're looking for a company to rent from I highly highly recommend them!

Loved the house, clean, with lots of space. Great location to pier, shopping and restaurants.

This is a very interesting house, to say the least. Very comfortable. Very close to the village. (you can even hear live music from one of the local establishments) House is well furnished with comfy furniture and beds. We'll be repeat visitors!

Overall the home was great. A few things would have made the trip smoother. The oven didn't heat up well. The washer moved across the room and seemed unstable. The guidance is confusing in how to leave the home. The envelope's guidance doesn't match the guidance on the fridge. Lastly, there were bikes locked in the garage. There was guidance on how to wash them after use, but no guidance on how to unlock them and use them.

The setting location and floor plan was very comfortable for all three couples. The three bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths was exactly what we needed. The kitchen was adequately equipped for a vacation. The bathrooms kitchen And linens were all clean and fresh. The entire house was cluttered and dusty. All six of us were sneezing and experiencing stuffy noses by the end of our visit

We really enjoyed our stay! Lots of room to spread out. We cooked most meals in the very well equipped kitchen. The use of the garage to store our bikes was a plus. The beds were comfortable. We will return.

Lots of fun walking to see the sunset each evening, eating in the village, and souvenir shopping. Met other winter vacationers and made new friendships.Property managers were very responsive to a couple of minor problems. Would highly recommend this house.

I've been coming to St Simon's Island for over 10 years to teach at FLETC. About two years ago, I got a little fed up with another property management company on the island and got turned on to Real Escapes. Boy, am I happy about that! Great properties, helpful staff, and easy transactions!

Wonderful!

We absolutely loved it!!! Perfect location. We will definitely be back!!!!

Great location-nice facilities-needs entry way improvement

Great location! House is in great need of a deep clean and old furniture replaced. I would stay here again if these items are addressed because the location is perfect and the house itself has wonderful potential.

We couldn't have asked for a better location on St. Simon's. Even though this was not on the beach, it was a short walk to the pier, the lighthouse, and the restaurants and shops in the pier village. We brought our beach equipment but need not have. The garage had sand toys, beach chairs, and umbrellas. There was also a corn hole set and a side yard for our active grandsons to use as a soccer field (we did bring our own net). Kitchen was fully stocked with dishware, utensils and cooking necessities. Would certainly stay there again on another trip to St. Simon's.

Great location, comfortable beds, kitchen well stocked. The only negative was the furniture in the family room and living room were uncomfortable and old

Very glad I was able to book this place for a two week vacation on St Simons. The location was perfect for me since I only had occasional access to a vehicle. I was able to walk to anything I needed. All the boardwalk shops and restaurants were within about a 5 minute walk along with the pier, the lighthouse, and park were right there.

Once again, a great stay.

Have rented from many places before on St Simmons. I really loved real escapes policies and how easy and accommodating they made things for me. Had to change my dates a time or two and they always did that for me no questions asked. The house was incredible. Friendly people. I'm pretty young and they didn't treat me like most people do (with less respect than an older adult). I will definitely be renting from real escapes again. Young people have money too. Even if they don't look like it. And when you treat young people a certain type of way based off of stereotypes they remember you as a negative experience. However, real escapes was the exact opposite. I will rent from them
again for many reasons but this being the number one reason. I am in sales myself and know that you treat every customer like they are going to buy something. That's exactly why I rented from these people. They treated me the same as a 66 year old retired person with a million dollar retirement account. That is grade A customer service. If you're looking for professional look no more. You have found them.
