This was a great property for my family. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms. The living space and kitchen was very spacious. The kitchen was well supplied. It was great to be a short distance from the beach and the town area. I would stay here again!

Lovely, spacious, beach and pier village nearby
Enjoyed the natural light, open floor plan, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. Plenty of clean towels and bedding. Besides specifics in need of repair (see Vacasa direct email) and need of a deep kitchen clean (see above for specifics) we enjoyed the quick access to the beach, the sidewalk (or beach) stroll to the village, and having multiple places to dine inside was convenient. Overall, the ambience of Papa's Place is very pleasant indeed.

Beautiful house in a perfect location!
The house comfortably accommodated our group of 6 and was perfectly situated within the town. Just a couple minute walk to the beach and shops. Not all of the bathrooms were perfectly cleaned but overall everything was very nice and tidy. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a great spot to stay in St. Simons!

Wonderful place for a family vacation!
I was a little hesitant at first because the price was much lower than what I found for other properties I looked at. But Papa's Place is exactly what was shown in the pictures in the advertisement. Wonderful, big open home with large bedrooms and comfortable beds. Big kitchen, great room, dining room and outside deck all connected and great for family gatherings. Great TV with comfortable furnishings. Plenty of hot water and lots of towels. Everything we needed for a great vacation!

Great space
Plenty of room. Unfortunately the hot tub wasn’t working (we were looking forward to that). Decks need work. Inside spacious and clean. House needs some homey touches, Art, etc. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped except no kitchen towels. Clean place. Great TV for entertainment. Furniture starting to show a little wear. 4+ stars. Thank you for sharing your home.

We were very happy with Papa’s Place. Very nice home with EVERYTHING you will need . It is within walking distance to beach / shops/ restaurants/ parks( 5 minute walk). The home is large and beds are comfortable.. Communication with rental company was easy with quick response . You won’t be disappointed if you rent this home!

Convenient location, good house for family gathering.
Walking to the beach and restaurants was terrific. The master bedroom and bath very nice. The other beds were only so, so. There was a leg missing on a dressing table and stained upholstery in the office room. The garbage disposal and the vent for the stove didn't work, but otherwise the kitchen was great for cooking. We would stay there again.

Disappointed
From the moment that we first walked through the door, the house had a terrible odor. That odor would get worse at times and smelled like sewage. Upon looking around it appeared as though the filters had not been changed in a long while. When attempted to do a load of laundry, the washing machine made a terrible noise, leaked, and did not work. The dryer did not dry the half cleaned clothes and the lint trap looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. A person in my party was stung multiple time by the wasps from the wasp nest on the front porch. Lastly, when I called to notify the property manager, I was asked to try to fix the items. We have been staying at St. Simons Island for over 10 years and this was by far the worst house we have rented.

Spacious and good location - would rent again
House was as described - very spacious and good parking. Kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. Has a drip coffee maker and a keurig. Office space was a plus and was used a few times by several of us. Lots and lots of beach towels clean and folded in laundry room. New washer and dryer. Would suggest adding 3 more chairs to the front porch, as there were only 3. Same for back porch - only 3. Coffee table on back deck kinda shot, could be replaced. Enjoyed sitting on both the front and back porches depending on time of day. Appreciated the shade cover on the back porch - very effective. Gas grill is new and is huge - good for a house that may have a crowd eating dinner. Subzero refrigerator is also huge- also good for a big family's food.

I would not stay there again. Nor would I recommend it to others.
It is a large house that feels open and spacey. Nothing hangs on walls. No décor feels like the beach. The furniture feels worn and is noticeably ripped. There is random furniture in rooms that doesn’t feel practical for the space. For example the back sunroom is huge – but only has a table for 8 and 2 empty china cabinets. Feels odd. The house also overlooks a property in the front that is as bad and unappealing of a property as I’ve seen on the entire island. To have looked so forward to the trip and to have such an anticlimactic housing arrangement has been disappointing. It was a LOT of money to spend for a house that in no way feels like the beach.

Great location
We recently stayed at the house with four of our adult children and spouses while my husband and I got married on East Beach. The house was large enough to fit us all comfortably. We were disappointed in the amenities and service. The house came with ONE trash bag, ONE dish towel, 4 coffee cups, etc. For a five bedroom house, we would expect at least a few trash bags! The ice maker did not work. One of the toilets upstairs did not work. We reported that it needed a new handle/flapper assembly at 10:30 AM on the first morning of our stay. A handyman showed up a few hours later, said he could not repair it then and would come back. He did not show back up until noon today when we were checking out (we paid for late checkout). If it is raining, as it was during our stay, the front outdoor steps are very slippery. There was visible mildew on the stairs and the entire outside front of the house. I wish the owners would check out the current condition of the house, including the poor collection of cookware, glasses, etc. Very disappointed in the Vacasa management if this house.

Great Size & Location
Great size for families and location is walking distance to the beach (we used our golf cart). I was disappointed in a few things - the floors were filthy when we checked in, turned the bottoms of our feet black. We actually went to the store, bought cleaner, and mopped ourselves. The master bed on the main floor is broken - has about a 15 degree decline at the head so when you sleep your feet are resting higher than your head. My wife and I ended up turning around and sleeping with our head at the foot board and our feet at the head board. The elevator is nice to have for luggage but if you sleep in the master bed, you will hear a 2-3 second mechanical hum about every 60 seconds so beware if you’re a light sleeper. There is a grill on the patio but when we took burgers out there we realized there was no propane - not that the tank was empty, there was no tank at all - so we had to broil them in the oven instead. One of the knobs are missing on the stovetop but other than that all appliances worked great. The A/C works great as well, house stays nice and cool. There’s a nice big sun room with large dining room table which is good for dinner or game night. All in all a nice, large house close to the beach which is what we were looking for.

BYOE(everything) & Not long-term friendly
Pros: Great location, fenced in back yard, very pet friendly because there is tile EVERYWHERE (which also means no bad odors linger). Master on the main floor. Great for large groups. Good place to store your luggage because you are away from the house most of your stay. Cons: House is barren of personality, decor, and properly functioning appliances. Appears as though nothing has changed since house was built in 2001. This includes pillows, bedding (bed toppers and quality of sheets), paint to cover water stains on ceiling, rotted wood around most windows, NO option to open any window because the crank handles have all been removed. I had to ask for a vacuum and broom and iron and blankets which should be standard in every rental. Fireplace is ventless so there is no need to clean chimney. Allow it to be operable. One review had Vacasa say there is no gas in the house so no need for CO2 detector. The cooktop IS gas as well as fireplace. I opened a CO2 detector that was in laundry room and plugged it in. IMO, Vacasa is too big to be able to take care of renter's needs and actually manage a property. I would not recommend this property for more than a 1 week stay

Lacking
Property manager was quick to answer my calls and Jeremy, the maintenance man, responded immediately to request for help with elevator and a/c operation. The property description on Homeaway needs to be redone - better pictures and more pix of the rooms, less pix of the island. I had to call for specific info on bed sizes - 1 king, 3 queens, 1 double. Some repairs needed to property: broken dining chair, tub faucet in upstairs hall bath stands 1” away from the wall, wide cracks in corners of showers/tubs, bed comfort subpar, control panel on microwave doesn’t light up - just have to guess, screen around hot tub loose in several places (the hot tub wasn’t available to us which wasn’t a deal breaker). Outside stairs very slippery when it rains and need non slip surface. No info book on heat/cool system (it was a Nest, I think, which we weren’t familiar with and not easy to figure out) no check out info in rental. I called the property manager for instructions. The positive is the elevator which I didn’t go looking for when searching for a rental. It came in quite handy with luggage. Early check in was appreciated. Good location within walking distance of beach and restaurants. Mullet Bay has good food. Nice neighborhood. Big t.v. in living room. Only other t.v. in master bedroom. Listen: spend some money to make repairs and get rid of the odd pieces of furniture (what is that behind the door in upstairs bedroom?) and chairs with shredded arms. The 2 sofa were comfortable and the large dining table was great for the 9 of us.
