A Village Overlook

Perfect location in the town. Walked to restaurants, shopping and people watched from the balcony.

The place is beautiful and the location is perfect. Will be back

As a yearly visitor to SSI, this was my first experience with Real Escapes Properties and A Village Overlook. The location was amazing and perfect for anyone who loves to people watch. Very convenient for shopping and walking to the pier. Extremely roomy bedrooms, baths, and large walk-in closets. We had an issue with miscommunication on a broken fridge, but management followed up and made it right which I greatly appreciate. The steps up to the rental were a bit of a challenge while we were unloading our luggage so if you have any issues with steps, this might not be for you. We did have some spotty internet throughout our stay, but wasn't terrible as we barely needed access to it. The wall of doors that lead out to the veranda had a few issues staying closed and we FINALLY figured out the correct way to lock them on our last night (Lift up the handle while locking). There is one parking space reserved for the rental, but parking spots on Mallery Street are usually available in case you need to bring more than one vehicle. Overall a very modern, clean and SPACIOUS rental with a few hiccups that were resolved quickly. It is quite a gem for it's location and I would highly recommend!

What a beautiful property! We have been to St Simons numerous times and always stay in the village area. This loft is spectacular, and the location was perfect for us. I hope we can stay there again sometime.

Had a great time. The loft is beautiful with great location.

The condo is fantastic and is huge. Our favorite part was sitting out on the balcony people watching. This is one of our favorite places we've stayed in Saint Simons. We will definitely be staying here again.

The property was clean, well appointed, and nicely decorated. The view of the village was excellent and the location was outstanding. Having a close designated parking spot was also a nice perk. We enjoyed our stay very much.

One of those rare experiences where the accommodations are better than the pictures online. Great space for entertaining. Clean with all the amenities and super comfy beds and luxurious towels! Real Escapes made sure our stay went off without a hitch.

Property was unique and amazing. Lots of space and well equipped. Location in the heart of the village was so convenient. Real Escapes was a pleasure to
work with.

My favorite place to stay on the island. I’ve been traveling to SSI for twenty years and this is hands down my favorite property.

The best place to stay in the heart of Village.

This is an excellent location and a great property. Much larger inside than I expected. Have been to SSI a dozen times over 30 years but never stayed in village area. Easy access to pier, beach and bars. View from balcony down Mallery street makes you feel like part of the action. It was very enjoyable.

This property is in the heart of St. Simons village. It’s much larger that expected, clean and comfortable.
We had no issues with the stairs, like some people had posted, and the parking pass was a huge bonus.
I’d definitely stay here again!

We were treated to a wonderful property for our short getaway! Very spacious and clean, well-stocked. The location was perfect; we could walk to many of the local attractions and dining spots. Real Escapes was very helpful. Highly recommend!

Great location,walk to shops and dinning

We loved this loft located above a store on Mallery Street in St. Simons. The loft was clean, spacious, and well furnished. We could walk to everything and loved sitting on the balcony watching the world go by.

Will plan on staying again for future visits.

Our stay was absolutely amazing! the property is beautiful and was beyond perfect. Thank you for making our time here so special!

The property was absolutely beautiful! Clean, quiet and conveniently located near dozens of shops and restaurants. Within walking distance to the pier and just a 5 min drive to local beaches. Loved coming home to our assigned parking spot right next to the building as the downtown area can get pretty busy during the day. Enjoyed having coffee on the balcony every morning. The loft was equipped with everything we needed for a 4 night stay. We will definitely be back!

We'd love to come back again!

Great place and location. Wish the fireplace had worked since it was raining and 50. degrees when we got there. Enjoyed sitting on the deck.

This property was perfect our first visit to St Simons. It’s central location allowed for easy exploration of the island and put us right in the center of the downtown strip which has plenty of restaurants and shops. The dedicated parking spot was also a major bonus as the downtown area tends to crowded during the day. While not directly on the water, it was only a few minutes walk from the pier, numerous parks/playgrounds, and public beaches.

The property itself is plenty big for a family of 4 and provided more than enough space for us to spread out. We had two young kids in tow and I was concerned that things might be too noisy at night for them to sleep... but this was not the case at all as the bedrooms are tucked towards the back and the shop directly below us would close by early evening. My wife and I also loved people watching from the balcony while the kids were winding down in the evening. Would definitely rent again and highly recommend to anyone visiting St. Simons.

Lovely condo. Very well maintained. Two drawbacks-noise from the street late at night, cars with loud stereos. The stairs were a challenge. That should be noted on the description of the property. Though we really liked the condo we would not stay there again for those reasons. Loved St Simon's.

We had a wonderful stay at A Village Overlook. The loft is beautiful and spacious. The location is perfect - a short walk to restaurants and shops.

Amazing space in heart of village.

This property turned out to be perfect for a long weekend. It is right in the middle of the restaurant/shopping district and an easy walk down to the pier and lighthouse.

Loved returning each evening to this wonderfully fun (and super clean) loft space located in the center of St Simon's Island's shopping and restaurant district. Lots of living space and comfortable beds, as well as a well stocked kitchen. Keep in mind there are many steps to the unit. But once there, it's the perfect place to call home while visiting the Golden Isles. And working with Real Escapes Properties was a breeze!

We were so happy to find the loft lived up to our expectations. It will definitely be our go to destination when staying on St. Simons Island.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. Location was perfect and in the middle of many shops and restaurants were very walkable. If you need to drive somewhere you don't have to worry about because you you get your own reserved parking just off the main strip. Inside was modeled nicely and super spacious. The only con of the property was that I couldn't get the balcony doors to lock. Would recommend staying here in a heart beat.

This was our second stay at Village Overlook and we really enjoyed it. Great location, lots of room, very clean. We'll be back!

Amazing location and beautiful place to stay.

This condo was a great place from which to enjoy all the fun the Pier Village has to offer. The balcony was a perfect place to people-watch! The location was within walking distance to shops & restaurants and only a very short drive (or bike ride) to the beautiful beaches of SSI. It was clean and well equipped and the decor was very nice. My only caveat would be that if you have a difficult time navigating stairs this is not the place for you as there is a hefty climb to get to the front door. Other than that, I would definitely recommend!

Really lovely space and location was ideal.

The village loft was very nice. The open living area space completely makes this rental. The decor was extremely inviting and nicely furnished for your stay. The balcony was the highlight of our weekend, great views; and walking distance around the village area.

Everything was perfect about this property, the location, the space, the cleanliness, super comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen! We have zero complaints and would highly recommend this property for your St. Simons Vacation!

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!!
