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.

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 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.

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.

Papa's Place was amazing! We had everything we needed; and our questions were answered within minutes. The house was lovely and HUGE! We had plenty of room. Friday evening, we had guests for dinner; and it didn't even feel crowded. There was room for everyone to chat, play games, laugh...it was simply perfect! Many thanks to everyone who made it such a great experience!

Nice Property Close to Great Beach
My family of 7 (all adults) enjoyed our week on Saint Simons Island at Papa’s Place. The house location is excellent as it’s a short five minute walk to East Beach and also walking distance (10-15 minutes) to the Pier Village area that has many restaurants (Must Go to Georgia Sea Grill), ice cream (recommend Saint Simon Sweets), shopping, and the Lighthouse Museum. The house was clean, comfortable, and definitely roomy with its 5 bedrooms (2 on first floor and 3 on 2nd floor) and 4 bathrooms. The kitchen has quality working appliances and everything we needed to cook-in a couple nights and prepare breakfast in morning. We used the gas grill a couple times which was fine except the grill grates needed a good cleaning first. The house could use some updating overall, but the central A/C keeps the property very comfortable inside. The floors were a little dirty in spots and the beds were okay; not the most comfortable, but overall very livable for a short stay. Communication with the property manager via text was good as he responded pretty quick to my texts. Only issues we had were that the front door sometimes didn’t lock easily (several attempts required), a couple lights in the bathrooms didn’t work, and the back deck is pretty much useless because it’s so hot and humid. For future renters of this property, the Vrbo listing states a hair dryer is included but it is NOT as confirmed by the property manager when I asked. Ladies, bring your hair dryer. The property also does NOT provide beach chairs which would be nice since the property is so close to a great beach. Recommend the property include beach equipment (3 or 4 foldable beach chairs and umbrella) along with the beach towels which are already provided.

Excellent location in St Simons
My family had a great weekend on St Simons Island. The location of the house was perfect, within easy walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and pier. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for our large family. I enjoyed cooking in the well stocked kitchen. Communication with the property manager was excellent and he got back to me right away when I had a problem locking the front door. The floors were a little dirty and the beds were not the most comfortable, but otherwise great property.

Our gang of eight get together every year, 4 couples who worked together years ago. The house worked fine for us. It is in a great location, easy walk to lighthouse, pier and beach. Beds were comfortable, kitchen worked fine. Elevator and hot tub are off limits. Could use bedside lights. Lights in our room all ceiling mounted and controlled by the switch at the door. Good spot for a large family or group of friends.

We were looking for a home to celebrate our 50th anniversary. This home was perfect for us. We had plenty of room and it was so clean. We really appreciated the hand soap at every sink & the scattered boxes of tissue. The rental staff was so easy to work with, too. We thank you for everything.
