No music allowed at pool, and one rule was even you couldn't be at pool alone. Would have been great to know all the additional rules ahead of time. ##### Tonya S.

We enjoyed our stay. Only negative are the 1990s tv in all the bedrooms very small. If you want to watch TV in bedrooms unpleasantly for children and adults. Master bathroom needed a better cleaning. Would definitely stay again though. Recommend updating tvs ##### skylar b.

We picked it for its location and size since were a party of six. We arrived later in the evening after the office closed and finding our package with directions and access to the property was very smooth and easy. Check out was also very simple. We enjoyed the pool and tennis courts. We loved that we could walk to the restaurants and shops to avoid the 4th of July traffic. Fireworks off the pier was the icing on the cake. My only suggestions would be to sharpen the chopping and prep knives, provide a baking sheet, pizza pan with a pizza cutter. The stairs up to the property need to be mended one was especially wobbly. For a property that could use some updating primarily in the kitchen, it was clean, comfortable and nicely laid out with the master on the opposite side from the other two rooms which share a bath. We also made good use of the washer and dryer. Old coffee maker so bring your coffee and don’t worry if it’s not ground we found two grinders on site. My only other comment is that I never received an email reply from Hodnett about my parking question. We were driving two cars so I wanted to make sure we had parking for two cars before we left home. Hodnett never emailed me back but our question was answered in the paperwork provided in our arrival package. There is one designated space for the property itself but there are also other open spaces for guests and we had no problem parking two cars. St.Simons is a beautiful Island to visit and we loved visiting the historical sites. Great pics at Driftwood beach on Jekyll Island and wonderful historic district. We took the trolley tour which was very nice. ##### Linda Lorraine S.

Pictures were spot on. Very clean. The living room was perfect for us all to gather and watch movies or hang out. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was good for light cooking. Just what we needed and expected. Easy walk or bike ride to the pier. Very nice being that close with teenagers. Quick drive or a bike ride to the beach. Just a suggestion - softer sheets. After a long day in the sun softer sheets would of been nice. We will definitely be returning! ##### Samantha I.

The online photos of the condo were spot on. We had everything we needed; kitchen is a little small but had all we needed, beds were very comfortable, bedrooms were nice and private, parking was excellent / convenient to our condo and was nice to have cable TV when we wanted to just relax in the AC. It was great to have a pool when weren't at the beach. Very convenient to the village as they call it, either by vehicle or walking. We will be returning next year but will probably look to be on the beach next summer. Also great places to eat with great food and beverages. Met some really nice local people while enjoying adult beverages. I highly recommend visiting with your family. ##### Joseph B.
