Real Escapes Properties reviews in St. Simons, Georgia

“We weren’t made aware of the construction next door nor were we given the option to choose another property because of it. Our stay was Sat-Thurs, of which Mon, Tues & Wed, from 8am-5/6pm, the roof was being done. So there was NO privacy at the pool. We had strange men viewing my daughter, daughter in law, baby & myself the entire time we attempted to use the pool/pool area. Total ick. There were nail guns for the majority of this time, saws & hammer noise, air compressor noise, so loud we could not have conversation between ourselves at a normal level. The noise could also be heard inside the house. The sunroom & 2nd living area could be viewed directly from the construction/rooftop. No curtains. No blinds. Cringe. This was our family vacation. Not acceptable, enjoyable or relaxing to say the least. When reaching out on Tuesday to address the issue, we were told that they were not aware of construction next door nor had the “cleaning crew informed them”. Poor deflection.”

“Plenty of space for our large family. Nice short walk to the beach.”

“I would not choose to stay with Real Escapes Properties again. Initial communication was good, and we added an extra night without issue. My significant other checked in around 7pm Friday; I arrived around 2am Saturday after a 15-hour drive. His welcome packet with our keys wasn’t there — though multiple packets labeled with other guests’ names and the address were, accessible to anyone (poor physical security). He called the emergency line three times before someone brought keys. Reaching them at 2am alone would’ve been awful. They apologized for not using the after-hours box. Cleanliness was also an issue: a yellow-stained shower curtain (unanswered when I messaged hosts), stains on the living room couch, and — most upsetting — my daughter’s pillows were stained yellow beneath the covers, found while stripping beds at checkout. I’ve never experienced this level of neglect with any past Airbnb. Positives: location, a pond with turtles my daughter loved, and fully stocked kitchen”

“We enjoyed our stay here. The home was clean, well stocked and in a great location for walking to shopping, parks, pier and restaurants. The only negative thing to say is that it is advertised as having beach access in one block. This access is not for spending a day at the beach because it is fully dependent on low tide which only lasts for an hour or so. It is beautiful though and the house was great.”

“The condo itself was very nice, quiet, clean and well maintained. The only negative was some miscommunication between the management. We were told we could check in at 12, but when we got there at 3 the cleaning crew (a group of very kind ladies) had just started cleaning and were not made aware of our early check in. They worked very quickly to get us in and were exceptional. The only other complaint is that the location on the listing is NOT where the condo is. The listing shows the location where the property management is, where you pick up the key. The actual condo is much further inland and not very walkable. That did not end up being the worst location, but I wish I would have known. Our stay was clean, quiet and other than check in there were no issues at all”
