Top East Beach Hotel Reviews

Saint Simons Inn by the Lighthouse

10/10 Excellent

"First time stay. Loved the location. Staff are pros in hospitality"

Oceanfront complex. Easy walk to beach. Convenient to pier/village area

10/10 Excellent

"Good place. Put a key pad on the door so we dont have to go to the office to get a key."

Ocean Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"The renovations were the only thing hold back this property. The shower handle was extremely loose and the hallways could have been better attended. Everything else was good from the beds to the towels. The staff was excellent from Trinity, Reese, and house keeping we could not have been greeted by a nicer people. We recognize that we were there during the slow season but we were glad we chose this property."

Oceanfront Condo - Private Boardwalk - Pool & Balcony

8/10 Good

"I would actually give this VRBO stay a 4.5, but that was not available. The walkway from our room had several sections in standing water, and the trail was a bit narrow. The raised wooden walkway did not extend far enough to allow easy access to the beach."

Short walk to East beach on St Simons Island.

8/10 Good

"So close to so many activites & great access to the beach. A pervious guest had taken all the hangers, so none available for us to use. The sheets on one of the twin beds was beyond old & peely, thank goodness there was an extra to change the bed with. I think we would have appreciated some directions for the TV, got access to Netflix the one time we watched. The condo & parking were great!! I would stay there again with my friends. Thank you Bonnie for everything!!"

Annie Laurie Cottage! w/ Elevator and heated pool

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with easy beach access. Loved how clean it was. The cleaning crew did an excellent job."

Ocean front Luxury Coastal Home w/ private pool

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved the house and the location. I hope this will not be a negative score against the owner or the host, but I would recommend to place a TV in each of the rooms and a safety bar on the pool. I have an elderly mother and it was extremely difficult to get her in and out of the pool. The home was very clean and spacious. We could not have asked for a better home for the price. We will definitely book again"

Oceanfront • East Beach • Pool • Balcony • Gated with Elevator

10/10 Excellent

"I had to change the dates of my stay and the host was easy to work with, which was a great start to this vacation! I have stayed at this property (but not this unit) before and everything was what I expected. The deck was so nice to sit on for sunrise, drinking my coffee and listening to the ocean. Kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were as expected and nicely decorated."

Hodnett Cooper's Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"We were surprised by the gorgeous view in condo 412 and the television services available which do not match the Hodnett Cooper website images for The Beach Club. There were 3 nice TVs in every room with Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Netflix, etc. The Hodnett Cooper website listed only a DVD player available so we took a bunch of old DVDs to watch but there was not DVD player. The only other issues: 1. There was a broken towel hanging hook in the master bath; the hook was lying on the vanity. 2. The trashcan lid was broken in the kitchen. 3. The ceiling fan in the living room did not work though the light built into the ceiling fan would come on. 4. The air conditioner is very loud probably because the units are mounted on the roof of the building we we we were on the top 4th floor. 5. The condos are quite far from the beach but the walk through the sand dunes is beautiful and we enjoyed the walk. It's a major chore for families taking a lot of beach gear so we simply carried a couple of towels and a beach bag."
