Pier Point 305

Perfect spot and perfect time of year.

The only things that I could suggest for improvement would be to add TV's to the bedrooms and to add Curl stops and non skid backing to the rugs to prevent trip hazards.

This was not our first stay in Pier Point 305. This time when we arrived the toilets were dirty, the shower curtain was moldy, the coffee table was dirty, and the a/c wouldn't cool. We checked the filter and it was DISGUSTING! We called and they quickly brought over a replacement filter (for the one that should have been changed 6 months ago). The location for this property is perfect, and until this visit we never had a single problem. If they will have the a/c unit cleaned and maintained, and make sure that the cleaner is paying a little more attention to detail it would be the perfect condo once again!

We have stayed in many places on St. Simons for years and this was one of our favorites. The view is incredible. Ocean breeze was wonderful. The unit is a little dated but clean and served our needs. The building and grounds feel very safe and secure. We'll be back!

Excellent location, rental was very clean with million dollar view!

Everything about this place was great..the space, the location and check in/check out was super smooth. We will definitely be back!

The condo is in a great location with a phenomenal view. You can sit on the balcony and see the pier, ocean and cargo ships.

The view from this condo was wonderful. It was SO nice to be able to walk to many shops, restaurants, and the Pier. The condo is older but well-maintained.
Master bed mattress was not comfortable but all else was good. Great place for a long weekend.

GREAT LOCATION but condition of property was quite old. Counter tops and doors coming apart. Latches on doors(Bedrooms) were missing. Screen doors unusable and furniture quite old. Master bath toilet didn't flush. The whole unit was in need of updating!! TV in living room was so small(29") and no TV's in bedrooms. Price too high compared to others (unit 203) at Pier Point!!! Corner unit a plus!

The weather is perfect on St Simons around January 1. The condo location is convenient to restaurants and shopping. We walked on the beach every morning. It was a peaceful weekend. We will be back!

Absolutely perfect location with ocean front view; View of Pier Village, Lighthouse and Pier which is lit up at night; Jekyll Island across the sound, and bridge.
This end unit has a great large lanai on top (3rd) floor of a gated access condominium. Perfect for sipping a glass of wine in the evening while people watching, boat watching; even a guy with a cast net fishing from the pier.
Unit was very well equipped. Large kitchen and great room. Plenty of chairs even though only 4 guests are allowed. Way too many tchotchkes (knick-knacks). Only one queen size bed in the master and two twin beds in the second bedroom. Two small private bathrooms with tub & shower next to each other.
Several great restaurants within easy walking distance of the unit. Direct access through a locked gate into Pier Village onto Mallery Street.
Favorite restaurants: Brogans South, Iguanas, Barbara Jeans, Georgia Sea Grill (best escargot ever), Mullet Bay.
We had not planned it but we were there for the historic moment when the last section of the capsized Golden Ray car carrier was removed from the St. Simons Sound. It had capsized in September of 2019 with over 4,000 vehicles on board. It was the largest salvage operation in U.S. history.
The pros way outnumber the following cons. No elevator. Only access is by the stairs. Plumbing fixtures/faucets and doors were all hard to open and close. But that is what you get in a saltwater environment. Unit does need some deep cleaning in some areas but was still very well done. We are not sure how long it sat empty before our arrival, but it smelled a little musty and could have used some deodorizers.

This condo is in a great location right next to St Simon's Island Pier and overlooking St Simon's Sound.
You can walk to many wonderful restaurants. The beach right in front of the condo is useable at low tide. The condo was clean and in great shape. The professionals at Real Escapes Properties were wonderful to work with and very helpful. We will definitely rent this condo again on our next visit to St Simon's Island.

Great location. My two suggestions would be 1) color code the keys for room and gate, 2) the HOA needs to better secure the gates. At times they would easily open without a key.

Overall, was a good stay, but disappointed in many things with the unit including - the fact that you cannot lock the master bedroom door, many towels and sheets were stained, and there is no window covering over the master bedroom patio door.

This is the best located property on the island! Thanks.

Loved the location! The size of the condo was great! We had plenty of room and ample furnishings. We had a lovely time on our trip. Thank you!

Thus is our fifth visit here. Location is perfect. We were able to walk to the pier and restaurants. Spent a lot of time sitting on the balcony. Condo is fully equipped with everything you need.

Our family spent a wonderful 4 nights in Saint Simons. The condo was a great size and the location cannot be beat. The condo is direct water front with a great view of the fishing pier. The location allows you to walk to many restaurants and shops. We took a short ride to Jekly Island and walked Driftwood Beach. We will most definitely return and rent again

Great experience and close to all the attractions.

It was very nice and clean. We had a wonderful time and beautiful views! Definitely will stay again.

We had a very nice stay, with our condo clean and well maintained and right on the shore line. Close to bars and restaurants. No problems getting in and out of the unit - hassle free! The only "problem" was that several light bulbs were out, the keys for condo entry and complex entry (very secure BTW) were hard to differentiate.......that's it!

Very good weekend getaway. Unit in my opinion has the best view on the island. Will be back soon for another weekend.

The property is badly in need of an Ikea's transplant, however dated, it is attractively located right in front of a capsized freighter, blocking the view of the sound and Jekill Island. There is little to do on St. Simon, except sitting on the attractive terrace and sipping wine. The East Beach is too far to walk and there are only few parking spaces available and at this time of the year, swimming is out of the question. If you wish for a stable Internet connection, wish again or carry your own hotspot.

We've stayed in this unit several times and truly enjoy its location, size and proximity to SSI's Pier Village. While we did have an issue, resolution was quick with Lady Maintenance. When we're in the neighborhood again, hope to return to this unit.

Fantastic view, never gets boring.
Being right in the village is very convenient and fun to join activities on the pier, stroll for coffee in the morning and people watch.
The unit was very clean and nicely furnished, the bed was comfortable. However, it could use some updating, kitchen counters, bath fixtures, etc. The cable package was sparse to say the least, but who goes to watch TV? Watching the ocean is more entertaining. Just something to be aware of, I would still highly recommend this unit.

Our stay was phonemical! The condo is in the perfect location, during our stay there was a boat parade and we were able to watch from the privacy and comfort of our balcony. Easily walk to restaurants and shops. Very spacious and clean. Would definitely stay again!

This is a beautiful condo, very clean, lots of room. Everything you need right by the pier, food, and shops. The only downfall is the gate lock to walk from the condo to the pier needs a real repair.

Location was very close to everything in the village so we walk to most everything. Enjoyed the view from the balcony.

Our family enjoyed our time at Pier Point. Perfect location for anyone visiting Saint Simons Island.

We enjoyed returning to this condo, nestled in the St. Simon's Village by the Pier. Everything we wanted was in walking distance including excellent food, interesting sights, and great people watching.

I called into the rental company at @10am to inquire re: early checkin. I was told someone stayed there the night before but they would have the room ready when they could and that it would be sometime after lunch but "way before 4pm"and they would call me when it was ready. I understand this is a bonus, but since I was assured it would be ready early we came on to the island. At 2pm we had finished lunch and light shopping, so I called to see how close it was and was told it would not be ready until checkin time at 4pm. We went back into brunswick to kill time and came back at 4pm. The keys were not in the drop box. I waited outside (office closed due to covid19) until @ 410 when someone brought the keys outside to put in dropbox. I understand that 4pm is the checkin, and would not downgrade the rating just based on this experience (but it was annoying). However, we got to the room and it was dirty, you could smell cleaner, but it did not appear to have been really cleaned, and certainly needed a deep cleaning. There were dead palmetto bugs on the floor (right after it had been "supposedly cleaned.") Baseboards and other areas just plain dirty. The kitchen was not well equipped at all (do not plan to cook) and the burners on the stove were not even seated properly. There is paint peeling away from the walls near the top of the ceiling, need some serious tlc. I have stayed at many rental properties each year for the past 30 years and this one was one of the most dissappointing for the amount of money paid (the view was great, however be prepared for plenty of noise from the pier!). It even states on the checkin forms (that were included with the key) to not call the office after hours for anything other than an emergency and even lists things that you should not call after hours about like appliances going out, tv not working, etc. so we obviously felt that there was no need to call on the weekend about the condition of the apartment.

Very friendly staff. Great location and comfortable unit. Would stay again.

Great location but dirty and poorly maintained.

Great long weekend at a wonderful property. Location in the Village was great. View from the property was peaceful and perfect. Real Escapes' staff was professional and helpful as always. Will use Real Escapes and rent this property again!!

We have stayed at Jekyll or at St Simmons since the 60s. Previously stay at Pier Pointe but the 1st time at this unit.

When we arrived, the unit had a musty, old odor. We bought some Frebreeze and sprayed it around; this took care of it. The unit was very clean. Some of the fixtures/counters could use updating, but not a big deal. Just something to be aware of, I highly recommend this unit, the view is spectacular.

In response to an older comment on this unit, the mattress looked new and was comfortable.

Nice clean, relaxing stay. Just what I needed to get away from my stressful job and have good quality time with my family.

Loved the view and the convenience.

We had a wonderful time on Saint Simon Island. The view from our condo was spectacular couldn't have been better.

Great location. Condo in reasonable condition, but old. Bathrooms particularly need work, both maintenance and renovations. Issues with both toilets. We're not hard to please, so overall we were happy with the place.

The corner location was excellent for viewing the lighthouse, the water, the pier, people on the pier. Each evening there was live music on the square. A very short walk to numerous restaurants, especially Mallery Street Caf for breakfast. The nicely decorated condo is just like the pictures & the kitchen has been refurbished. The property management staff was very patient answering all our questions. The town people were all very nice & helpful also. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to take the 1500 mile drive back there again sometime. So, yes, we would most certainly recommend this property and the area to people.

We've stayed in this condo several times and keep returning each time we visit St. Simons! It is lovely, a great location with amazing views! Our top floor end unit was such a delightful spot to relax and enjoy the ocean, the lighthouse, the pier, and the village sights and sounds! Early mornings and late evenings on the balcony are beautiful!!

We were moved to 305 Pier Point from 486 Cedar due to a leak in the roof. We are now hooked on the beachfront condo at Pier Point and are planning to book again for 2019.

Very good - I can't imagine receiving better service than the warm and professional attention that Real Escapes staff provides. The only issue I had with the property was the slow-flowing shower drain which needs some attention.

Location and views the best. Great space in unit and on large balcony. We loved our time here. Would of been nice if master bedroom windows were clean. Time to replace master bedroom mattress. Why not try a king bed, there is room?

My wife & I have stayed at Pier Point several times over the past years. P.P. is a very nice place to stay with all the goodies you need within walking distance. Watching the ships, dolphins & fishing on the pier is wonderful entertainment day & night.

Condo clean and large. No tv in mbr and globe on fan/light missing.

Very restful trip. Great place to stay. Spent a lot of time on the balcony. Wonderful view.

We have stayed in unit 305 several times now and enjoy this unit. It is ideally located on the island with windows that face the east for those beautiful sunrises. We will be back again. Love St. Simons

This is actually the 3rd time I have stayed in this unit and I have loved this unit and this location! The unit is very clean, well equipped and the decor is lovely but comfortable. Cannot beat the location or the view!!

We have stayed at Pier Point 305 twice now. The unit is very nice. The kitchen walls have now been painted white and are not dark colored as shown on the Real Escapes web site. It looks much nicer now. Real Escapes personnel are very friendly & easy to deal with. It is also a very convenient location. If this is a drawback it would be there is no elevator for the upper floors however, the stairs are very easy to climb.

This is a great spot to watch the ships & activities on the pier. Very good restaurants are close by within easy walking distance. The library is also close by. From unit 305 you can watch beautiful sunrises & sunsets & see the lighthouse.

The unit is a little dated and has only one TV. It was well appointed and is centrally located to everything in the village. Walking distance. It could stand to have a queen size bed in the Master Bedroom and another TV in that room as well having only an old one in the living room. The towels needed replacing but overall I would certainly recommend this unit. I will stay again. Nothing a little updating wouldn't handle. Bathrooms are small so know that going in.

3rd floor/no elevator. View worth the extra effort. Queen bed is a disaster - needed replacing a long time ago. We enjoyed our stay and would like to go back IF the owner gets a new mattress/box springs they need. Every night for several nights a group of kids decided to have a jam sessions at the pier entrance. Too much noise until the condo assn. head called the police and they enforced the noise ordinance.

We are always happy when we return to SSI. Our week was fun and relaxing. Pier Point is the perfect location for a great stay. What a blessing.

It was a very nice place to stay.

Our stay at 305 Pier Pointe at St Simons was great! Condo was spotless upon arrival and the location cannot be beat! The Real Escape team is great to work with!

Unit is in a terrific location. Great views. Very convenient to town, restaurants, beach walking and fishing at pier. Unit needs updating and some minor repairs. Property management staff were very professional and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

The view from this end unit is the best. You can see the entire pier along with the lighthouse. Walking to and from the village is a joy. Everything is so close. It was wonderful to have a gated parking area too. We felt very safe. However, the condo had an odor to it that never went away. I couldn't put my finger on what it was or where it was coming from. The furniture was great and in good condition but the condo itself didn't feel clean. Baseboards were dirty and the bathroom smelled like urine. I removed the mat in front of the toilet but the smell remained. I think the toilet seat needed to be removed and cleaned under. Everything else was wonderful.

I have been looking forward to staying at Pier pointe for some time because of the location- in town and right on the water!
The condo was scrumptious! Walking up 3 floors with the luggage was a downer, but that would not keep me from staying again!
Watching the pier activities and the sunsets was worth every step.
Palmers restaurant was a lovely surprise at dinner and a short walk!
I will do it all again.

Total relaxation

We have a wonderful time for a girls get together. We did whatever we wanted to.... No men to say "I don't want to" It was one of the best.

We really enjoyed the condo! it was very comfortable and the location was fantastic!

Terrific location and excellent service from RealEscapes property management. On the slightly negatve side, the condo unit is somewhat "cluttered" and an HDTV (and possibly a PVR) would be an improvement-particularly for long stay guests
