A Village Overlook

This was our third stay at this property. Everything was the same as before. It’s a great location for our needs. However; Most of the blinds in the living room are inoperable and have been that way for years. It would be nice to be able to open them up next time we stay here. The kitchen is great with a lot of stainless but the stainless hasn’t been cleaned well and it shows. I opened the silverware drawer only one time and saw a live roach. We brought plastic ware so I just closed the drawer and didn’t see any more roaches. The place was very dusty and it turns out that the AC filter had not been changed in many months so that’s no surprise. There was AC issues but they were handled well by Real Escapes with very little hassle for us. I wish my review could have been better but that was our experience this visit. We plan to be back and I hope to have better things to report next time. We love the Island and Real Escapes has been taking care of us for years at various properties.

Really enjoyed our stay at this place. One of the best place that I have stayed in a while. Would highly recommend.

A wonderful location and a fantastic accommodation. Enjoyed every minute there. Loved sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and watch the goings on of the village.

Rental was clean, spacious. Wonderful location, well appointed. Bedrooms were large.

This loft is absolutely wonderful. Two great en-suite bedrooms plus exceptional open living area makes this rental one that we come back to over and over. Tastefully decorated and furnished with all you need for your stay. The balcony is great for watching all the excitement of the Village. If steps are a problem, this one is not for you, lots of steps with no elevator.

Place exactly as shown in pictures. Los of space and nicely decorated. Balcony was our favorite space, enjoyed watching the hustle and bustle of the town below with a glass of wine - perfect.

We loved staying here. Had lots of room and everything was just as we were told it would be. Enjoyed having coffee each morning in the balcony and throughout the day. So nice to be in the village and a short walk to the pier. Hope to return for another visit.

Good time and missed the bad weather.

Manager's Response

We were anticipating that we would love this property located in SSI village but had no idea how much we would love it! The location is absolutely perfect. We loved having our coffee on the patio in the morning while watching the people either coming downtown to have breakfast or getting in their morning exercise. Likewise, we loved having our evening wine on the patio watching all the activity below. The size of the condo cannot be imagined--you have to see it. I had no idea there would be so much room. I love the open floor plan of the kitchen and living area and the bedrooms are so large we had a hard time figuring out which would be "the master". It is simply yet tastefully decorated.The only problem really was the parking. It was impossible to keep people from parking in the spot that was clearly marked for people staying in A Village Overlook. We remedied this some by placing a bucket with a piece of pipe sticking out of it in the parking space. I would recommend getting pylons that can be put in the spot when you leave. We had a baby with us for a few days and it isn't really baby friendly with the few steps that go down to the living area from the kitchen--but we will most definitely be back if we travel without the grandbabies. Love this property!

We will definitely be going back to this condo right in the middle of all the action. The condo was spotless and very well maintained. The staff at Real Escapes was friendly and very helpful!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this amazing condo right in the heart of the action. This condo was beautiful and had an amazing balcony where we could people watch and enjoy a glass of wine! Excellent restaurants were within walking distance and the pier was also close! We highly recommend eating at the Georgia Sea Grill - 5* as the food was amazing! We also ate at Iguana's, which was mostly shrimp dishes 4*, and Brogens near the pier, which was really good as well 4*. The beach was about a 1/4 mile away and an easy walk! The condo was huge with two king beds! The only thing I would have wished was that there were room darkening shades in the back bedroom as the sun came up there and it was soooooo bright even with the blinds closed! If you are staying here bring a sleeping mask! LOL

Great place in center of village. Tons of room and very comfortable. Easy walk to everything. Apartment was furnished with high end amenities. Assigned private park space. Only negative, on a few occasions the assigned parking space was used by the public. Overall rate A+.

The rental experience with Real Escapes Properties was extremely easy. The unit was clean and ready when we arrived. The staff at Real Escapes were ready for us when we arrived and checked us into the unit very quickly. The Staff did advise us of some minor water damage in the unit and they were trying to get it fixed. I will use Real Escapes Properties again in the future.

We have always stayed in a resort at the beach, but wanted to try something different. This ended up being one of my favorite rentals. I loved how close it was to everything. It was spacious and clean. My family would definitely stay here again.

What a special place. We had never been to st. Simon's before and were so pleased with our rental. It is a small island with not a lot going on so being in town center was key for us. It was quiet yet we could watch the hustle and bustle of the town from our porch as we wanted to.

Fantastic. The loft was incredible. The photos do the loft justice. The balcony give great view of the village. Bonus for us, we were there on the 4th of July and watched the golf cart parade from the balcony. Best seats in the house!

Awesome place in a great location.

Awesome, seamless rental for may long-term stay.

We were very fortunate to have found this amazing loft. It is so very spacious and beautifully decorated. This is the first year that we have not been ocean front and thought that we would miss the view. However, the ocean is only a short block from the front door and the experiemce of living over "main street" was so entertaining. We look forward to returning next year and were very impressed with the response that we had from the property managers.

Village Overlook is a great place to relax. No other property on St. Simons has a view that overlooks the village. I would highly recommend to any who wants to relax but who also wants to be within walking distance of all of the hottest restaurants. This place is a jewel!

Great property. Great location. Great Agents.

We enjoyed our stay in the Village very much. Loved the balcony experience, looking over Mallory St. Only thing that could have made the stay any better would have been an elevator going up to the apartment. Everything else about the apartment was outstanding! We loved it!

This place was great. Its right in the middle of the village/pier area surrounded by restaurants and shops. It was well equipped and decorated. Be ready for a workout. There are 21 stairs to climb getting in or out.

We were so happy with the condo we stayed in while on vacation in St. Simons! It was in such a great location and within walking distance to some awesome restaurants, shops, the beach and sights to see! We really didn't need to move our car too much at all. The condo was very spacious, well maintained and spotless! The kitchen was well equipped for us to make breakfast and dinner on a few nights while we were there. We even baked some cookies during a late afternoon rain shower. We definitely will be back!

Thanks!

Professional, convenient and pleasant.

This condo met and exceeded our expectations with one exception. We experienced key problems, making access to the unit difficult during our whole stay. Called Rental Escapes for help when we couldn't get in initially. Agent showed us how to move the key in a certain direction and twist hard which worked most of the time and resulted in extremely sore fingers. My request to call a locksmith to resolve problem was ignored.

Beautiful condo in excellent location if you are looking for activity! If you are looking for peace and quiet, may not be your cup of tea.

What a great place to stay! Close to everything, amazing accommodations, fabulous venue for people watching! One of the best places I've stayed on the Island!

Wonderful apt.! So comfortable and outfitted nicely. We spent an amazing w/e there. I highly recommend!

A Village Overlook is in a fantastic location. Close to great restaurants and shopping. The property is very clean and well maintained. Very spacious!! You won't be disappointed.

Condo is picture perfect and the location couldn't be better. No hair dryers and it was hard to figure out lights/switches. Guess we should've called management - but we were too busy having fun!

Perfect location on the perfect island. The property was perfectly appointed with everything we needed for a weekend or a month. Extremely comfortable. This was my first rental with Real Escapes Properties. The staff was very helpful, professional and courteous.

We are regular visitors to St. Simons and have stayed in many properties over the years. A Village Overlook is located right in the middle of the popular village/pier area. The balcony is perfect for morning coffee and sunset cocktails. We parked our car and walked most everywhere. There are many excellent restaurants and shopping choices within steps and the pier is about a two minute walk where the sunrise is so peaceful. The loft is beautifully appointed with an upscale feeling. There is some noise from the village, but that is to be expected when staying near the "action"! The staff at Real Escapes is so very good to work with as well. Everything was exactly as described, and I would recommend this property to anyone. In fact, I already have!

If you're looking for a prime location and modern, sleek elegance...A Village Overlook is the place to stay! We've been visiting Saint Simons for years and this year was possibly the best yet. The location of the condo was ideal for everything...shopping, food, lighthouse, pier, too much to name!! The condo itself was stunning and beyond spacious. Pictures cannot convey the size and classiness of this unit. We definitely look forward to renting it again!!
