Porch & Location are LEGIT!!!
It actually pains me to leave this review. The porch and the location alone were amazing. But there were subtle problems throughout the otherwise, cute location. The place needs a Property Manager. The cabinet under the kitchen sink was scary and numerous lights/ceiling fans were in various states of disrepair. Master bath shower is very large but the floor is exceeding slippery due to the use of builder grade tile. And the drain cover is not secured! There are only 3 total interior doors and only one works properly. No doors or divider on the alleged 2nd bedroom. If you're looking for a place for a single family or some grown ups this place will be ideal. This venue could easily be a 5-star with a little more care and maintenance.

Charming
The house was just as described cute and cozy. It was in great proximity of places we visited. The only problem was for staying 10 days was the limited amount of necessities. Being a family we can’t always eat out so we cooked a lot and did not certain things were limited.

Great location
Our stay was wonderful! We liked the two porches and comfy seating of interior spaces. Brunswick is a great central location For exploring the Golden Isles and this home is in a beautiful and walkable historic district. The house is ideal for 1-4 people. Lighting is a bit wonky, with switches that don’t work and bulbs burnt out. Closet space in the main bedroom was very limited, too. Aside from these, our stay was very enjoyable and we had everything we needed.

Beware of Mold and smell
I did not stay at this property. There was mold on the furniture which made it impossible and a health hazard to stay. The house smelled. I had to book a room at a hotel. The owners minimized the situation and refused to refund me. I have pics of the green mold. Read the reviews and don't stay at this property

Historic Brunswick cottage
Although the listing stated 2 bedrooms, one had a door that didn’t close since there was nothing for it to latch into and the other room with a bed had no door at all. There were no garbage bags in the kitchen and no broom although there was a dustpan. . The interior of the gas grill was rusted out and not usable. The cottage was well heated since it was very cold and nicely decorated. The location was close to the historic district and walkable had it not been so cold. Appliances worked well and the gas stove was a nice surprise! When we arrived, there was a note on one of the trash cans that they didn’t pick it up because there was trash in the recycle bin. There should be clear direction in a note in the cottage about recycling so all trash gets picked up. It would be nice if there were tongs in the kitchen and knives besides the steak knives. Also, there were several lids but not pots to match and no frying pan. Kitchen was not very well equipped.

Unrealized Potential
The property was renovated about five years with classic cottage design. Lots of nice touches. The problem is maintenance. The initial impression from the parking area is a broken flower box, an older rusting grill, and a porch that needed to be cleaned. At first we were happy with the interior, but then we noticed that many of the light bulbs needed to be replaced, including the outside one over the door combo. At first the hosts seemed eager to solve the problem, but after a few days all we had was one outside bulb replaced and a bag of bulbs hung on the door handle. After that there was no communication from the host. Several of the area rugs should be cleaned or replaced. The kitchen flatware drawer contained no knives. The outside screened porch also needed some attention. The first bedroom had no usable closet for clothing. The second bedroom had a beautiful wall of storage closets, but it had no door, no privacy. The first bath was full of storage with a lovely walkin shower. The second bath had no place to hang a robe or even a towel. The location was great with a great deli across the street and lots of places to walk. There was so much to like about this little house. This was our 13th rental of this type. With a few adjustments, this place would be great.

Terrible property and owner
If you want to go camping,, this is the place for you. The owners provide or guarantee almost no comforts for your stay. Bring all you own towels - bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths - for two bathrooms. Also, bring your own extra blankets and pillows. You get one roll of TP. After you book, the owner will tell you in writing that these things get stolen. If you want to use the grill, they tell you it may or may not have gas. There is no bar soap or anything to wash your hands unless you bring it. If you want to clean any counters or anything before moving in, your first stop needs to be the market to buy these products. It's literally like a national park cabin. You need to bring or buy a LOT of stuff to be functional in this house. Why is all this stuff being stolen? There was no lock on the french doors to the screened porch. The property was secured by a latch on one screen door and a block of wood on the other. When I complained, the owner said not to worry because it's a safe neighborhood. She clearly knew the lock was broken and rented the home anyways. In addition, we arrived to a home that had spider webs throughout the living space, much like a haunted house. It was clear no one had been in the property to clean or check it in quite some time. We walked to the screened porch, which looks beautiful in the photos to find very different, dirty and stained furniture. Less than desirable, but figured we'd just put a towel over them. Oh wait, we didn't bring extra towels for covering dirty furniture. The home is nothing like the photos. I'd also encourage you to research where the home is located. We stayed about an hour and asked the owner to cancel the reservation. The home was dirty and was clearly not being even secured. In addition,, neighbirs told us we couldn't legally stay because Georgia had banned short term rentals for Covid-19. After researching, we found it was true. The owner refused to negotiate any resolution and is attempting to keep more than most people pay in monthly rent when we had to relocate and pay for a hotel. We have a dispute with our Amex and our complaint against the owner is being escalated at VRBO for violating policy. We stay at short term rentals regularly and I find the photos and descriptions and security is usually in line with the listing. Buyer beware on this one.

Mix Results
Communications & ease of check in was top notch. Location was an easy dive or 18 min walk to downtown & marina. Great strolling / jogging among magnificent older homes nearby. It is a reasonable value given the low rental rates. I gave it a 4-star because the house is getting long in the tooth. Looks like a cheap renovation many years ago and everything from the furniture to coffee maker need updates (especially the coffee maker!). The interior was reasonably clean, but the yard & porches need a lot of attention. Don't hesitate to book because choices are few in the area...just moderate your expectation on arrival. I would have gladly paid more per night for a higher level of attention to details.

Fairy Tale Cottage
This really is a gem. My son and I needed a quick rental for planned excursions at the Sea Turtle Center on Jekyll Island. We were close enough to enjoy the beaches during the day and be able to come home to the most charming, relaxing cottage in a neighborhood surrounded by wise old oak trees with draping Spanish moss. The house stayed cool despite the oppressive heat outside. The beds were comfortable and the cottage was well equipped. The decor was tastefully eclectic. We really appreciated the obvious care put into blending contemporary with traditional. Well done. The Yellow Deli directly across the street was so convenient and super delicious and the twinkling lights from their outdoor dining patio added to fairy tale aesthetic. All the southern gothic vibes. We’d love to visit again.♥️

The stay here was good. Only real problem we had was the wrong code for the door to check in but called Cyndi and she immediately helped me. Loved the house. Only recommendations I have would be the doors to bedroom and hall bath have the ability to lock. With a teenager it was an issue. The neighborhood could be better but I feel people are trying to clean the area up and fix it up. So that will make a huge difference. I would stay again!!
