Pier Point 305

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.

The town is amazing but this Unit was not! It was Dirty when we arrived - even used/burnt coffee grounds still in the Coffee Maker. The master tub had dirty rings around it - and it would not drain so we had to use the other bathroom. The toilets would not hardly flush, the paint was peeling. And the sold us on the views - but the window have are OLD and lost their gas seals so you can't see out of them. The decor is Like Grandmas house from the 80's certainly not the beach. The glass end tables were filthy - has glass rings on them and dust that I could write my name in. And the MUSTY/MOLD SMELL was horrible. Would not recommend this unit until was updated and Deep Professionally cleaned.

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.

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
