The property is better than advertised! We had a few rainy days but we didn’t mind because the property has so many things available to do in case of rainy days. The downstairs area is amazing, the pool was very relaxing, the porch area was probably our favorite though. The house has everything you need. Very well set up property with everything you need. The property manager department was amazing and responsive time was excellent! 5* plus. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful property! Otis Hill from East Tennessee

Me and my family enjoyed our stay at the Island Escape at Fern. The property was clean, well taken care of, and offered a private backyard getaway. The carport under the house made unloading a breeze. The living room offered plenty of natural light and the motorized shades made it easy to turn in for the night. The back porch offers a very nice, secluded area for outdoor dinners. The whole house was immaculate and the welcome cleaning package was a nice touch.The bedrooms and bathrooms were large and very well put together. The location on the island was centrally located and made getting to the beach very easy. Overall, an amazing property and would definitely stay here again.

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for being our guest at Island Escape at Fern! We're delighted to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable stay here.

Island Escape at Fern truly was an escape from it all! This was a very special trip for our “framily” so we wanted to splurge and get a place with all the bells and whistles, and this place had them! There was a ton of space for 8 people (ages 18-52) to spread out and not be on top of each other for the week. The game room, sitting area by the pool, and the screened porch were great spaces to relax, have fun, and enjoy. The pool was great after a long day at the beach! The extra touches (beach gear, automatic shades, stocked kitchen) at this property were much appreciated!

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for your review!  We're so glad Island Escape at Fern provided the perfect escape for your special "framily" trip!

Island Escape at Fern was beyond perfect for our family vacation! Everything we could have possibly wanted or needed was available at our fingertips. The unlimited towels, corn hole boards, and beach gear were an absolute bonus. Our teens (and us) enjoyed the game room, the pool and relaxing on the screened porch for our meals. The home is immaculate and the decor was beautiful! We had one hiccup due to a storm and within seconds Lilmar responded to our need. We will definitely be back to Fern because it was truly the best escape and we didn't want to leave. Thanks for sharing your home and if you are looking... stop, this is your place!

We love this home! It is beautiful and fully stocked with everything you need. The beds are all very comfortable and the living room has plenty of space for the whole family to hang out together. The Pool, gameroom and outside seating were so much fun for our teen daughter, as well as the adults. It was great to know that all of the beach chairs, towels and wagon were provided for our beach days. We love St. Simons Island and we love Island Escape at Fern!

Our family of six was very comfortable in this home. It is spacious and has a designer decor that was very appealing. The screened in sunroom, pool area and ping-pong game room were delightful to have and we used them alot. When the batteries of a smoke detector stopped working, the property manager responded immediately. Communication was top notch. It was exactly as the pictures show, if not better. It was also more quiet and secluded than what we were expecting.

Manager Response: Thank you so much for your review and for being our guest at Island Escape at Fern! We're thrilled your family right at home and enjoyed all that this home has to offer. We appreciate your kind words about our quick responsiveness to the smoke detector issue and are so happy to hear your found ou communication to be top-notch as well.

WOW! Luxury meets St. Simon’s!!! We traveled from FL with our two children (9 & 4) to enjoy a little bit slower of pace. By far the most relaxing week we have ever had! 10 Fern couldn’t have been more amazing!! From the decor to the insanely comfortable furniture/beds it was absolutely perfect! The outside pool, downstairs swings & game room knocks it out of the park! Our children ranked this as “the best vacation ever!” We rented a golf cart and 10 Fern Ln was located in such a great location that we were truly able to enjoy everything that St. Simon’s had to offer! We can’t wait to return!!!

Manager Response: Thank you so much for your review and for being our guest at Island Escape at Fern!

The house was lovely, well furnished, clean and just what we were hoping for. We chose to be away from the hustle and bustle of a tourist area . A great value for the money. It’s in a quiet walkable neighborhood away from traffic but drivable to amenities. Our week’s stay was a bit chilly so we were not able to take advantage of the beautiful pool.

Where to start - the Island Escape at Fern is a beautifully decorated, modern retreat with a central location that feels more private. Kitchen is fully stocked, the attention to detail throughout the home is appreciated. Plenty of parking including covered under the house. Game room was a hit with our teens, and they loved the swings. Every gathering place was used throughout the week. Lilmar is a pleasure to deal with - very responsive, helpful when needed, great people.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Island Escape at Fern!  We are so glad you loved this home and that you all had such a wonderful Thanksgiving here!  It really is a perfect vacation spot for families.  We loved hosting you all and we hope we can have the opportunity to host you all again soon!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home . As soon as you walk through the front door, you feel as though you have stepped into a magazine . The home was decorated beautifully and was very well stocked with anything we could have possibly needed . My teenage boys loved all of the outdoor spaces and the pool area . We had plenty of room for our entire crew. Furniture and beds were all super comfy ! The home was in a great location, convenient to all of the shops, restaurants and beach . The management company checked in often to see if we needed anything . We will definitely be back !

The Guest info book had great restaurant suggestions with menus included. The suggestions were all wonderful! It was awesome to go to the beach and have all chairs, towels, etc... provided. We loved the privacy of the home and how close it is to everything. We will definitely book this home again!

This was our absolute favorite house! My daughter said that it’s just so comfortable everywhere! The only issue was the internet would go out now and then but it was an easy fix. I had so many friends ask about the house and I sent them the addresss and told them to contact Lilmar! The screened in porch area is fabulous! We hope to come back and stay again soon!

We have stayed at dozens of vacation homes and it doesn't get better than Island Escape at Fern! Everything was perfect. There were so many great outdoor living areas where we enjoyed watching some games, playing some games and just hanging out. Both screened and shaded areas. So cozy! Also, it felt so private with trees and wild areas surrounding the back of the property. Saw many great birds. The kids loved the game room and spent hours playing ping pong there. The living room was so comfy and we enjoyed watching movies there with the family. All of the bedrooms were so plush and comfortable, especially the main bedroom. The bath in the main bedroom was luxurious with a huge shower and garden tub. Such a relaxing room. Kitchen had everything we needed and was super clean. Quick drive to the beach and lots of great dining options very close by! Would highly recommend staying here!

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for your kind words and for being our guest at Island Escape at Fern!  We are so glad that you all loved everything about this home and that this spot has topped all the other places you have stayed before!  We hope we can welcome you all again next time you are in St. Simons for another getaway here!

Kunal - Posted: 9/29/2023

The property was truly exceptional, and our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. I've never felt so relaxed during a vacation, able to leave behind the typical daily life problems. The highlight of the property is undoubtedly the pool, which is incredibly private due to the property's clever design and layout. It gives you the feeling of being on your very own secluded island, and that was precisely why I chose this house in the first place. I must say, it didn't disappoint. The house's interior decor and overall cool factor are off the charts. However, what prevented our experience from being excellent were three issues: the control of the air conditioning, the quality of the beds, and the internet. Like many hotels, the property has thermostats that restrict your control. While it does allow you to lower the temperature to a comfortable 68 degrees, the thermostats are located under vents, causing certain areas of the house to cool down much faster and other parts, like the bedrooms, to stay warmer then 68. As a northerner who prefers a colder sleep environment, I found the bedrooms to be warmer, and the memory foam toppers on the beds exacerbated this issue, trapping body heat and making it uncomfortable. Even my wife experienced discomfort due to the warmth. Considering the price, I expected more control over the temperature and fewer instances of the thermostat resetting to 78 degrees. As for the beds, they all have memory foam toppers, but the mattress in the primary bedroom was less than satisfactory. It felt like sinking into a hammock, leaving me with backaches in the morning. Personally, we have Purple mattresses at home, which are both cooler and offer better support. Toward the end of our stay, we started using the upstairs bedroom, which had a much better mattress, but it was hotter since it was on the second floor. I travel a lot and this was by far the worst mattress I ever slept on. The internet speed was impressive, but it would occasionally freeze or hiccup at least once a day, requiring a router reset to resolve the issue. This was particularly frustrating we relied on internet access for entertainment, as there is not cable TV but supplied access to YouTube TV for free. It was especially inconvenient when we wanted to watch TV by the pool, only to find that the internet was not working correctly, preventing access to the provided YouTube TV and streaming apps. Despite these relatively minor issues, we would definitely consider booking this property again. In fact, while we were there, we jokingly discussed buying the place if we won the Powerball jackpot that was growing during our stay. Provided that the beds are improved, there's a bit more AC control, and the internet issues are addressed, this place would undoubtedly be excellent in my book instead of great. The photos really do not do the place justice, I was still blown away by the place, and I had look at every photo in detail before I book. It really is a fantastic little hideaway on your own, but a short drive or golf cart to all the popular parts of the island.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Island Escape at Fern.  We are thrilled to hear that you thought this property was exceptional and that you enjoyed a thoroughly relaxing vacation here.  We are also glad to hear you enjoyed the privacy and seclusion this home provided for you all around the pool area as well.  We genuinely appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the air conditioning, beds, and internet. We will certainly look into the items you mentioned as we always strive to provide a seamless and comfortable stay for our guests.  We are glad that despite the issues you mentioned, you all still were blown away by this home and that it was great vacation for you.  We hope to see you all again next time you are in St. Simons.

We stayed at the Fern for our weekend get away. Very comfortable property with all the necessary appliances. The front porch was great and screened which was great. Pool was a little smaller than average sized bout still good for family fun. Table tennis in the game room was also a great plus. Decor was modern and place overall was very clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Island Escape at Fern. The feel of the house felt very high end/luxe. My teenage daughters spent countless hours in the pool and the screened porch is a great place to hang out. The kitchen was very well stocked and we were able to cook full meals at the house. The location is great and in a beautiful area of the island. We rented a golf cart and enjoyed going to Wake Up Coffee and the short ride to the beach. There is ample parking at the beach so driving was not an issue. We can’t wait to come back in the fall and make more family memories!

This home is so well equipped and beautifully decorated- it made our stay such a joy! We enjoyed the pool and the game room - and found that no opportunity to make each space special was overlooked. The house feels spacious but it's the design that makes it feel so. We would absolutely recommend it and return! l would recommend that the master bedroom mattress get some review-- I know that firmness is a matter of preference but the mattress was overly soft and the only drawback to our stay.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your 5 star review and for being our guest at Island Escape at Fern!  We are so glad your stay here was so wonderful and you all enjoyed spending time by the pool and game room area!  It really is an awesome vacation spot.  Thank you for your feedback regarding the mattress.

First time visiting Georgia and we could not have imagined a better home! Our family enjoyed our time lounging by the beautiful pool and cozying up next to the outdoor fire. We are already planning our next trip back to this amazing home.

Our family of 4 had a great time at this property! It has plenty of fun amenities for our 2 sons to keep them busy and entertained- ping pong, yard games, the pool. The house was comfortable and spacious. The location was quiet and peaceful. We absolutely love the screened porch and spent so much time out there. Really, we have no complaints! Would definitely stay there again.

Best vacation ever! This house was beautiful and I am so thankful we were able to book such a lovely rental. It was exactly as it was described in the listing. The owner provided everything we could possibly think of to make it a comfortable stay. We loved all the comfortable seating choices, pool and spacious showers. The neighborhood was super cute and so enjoyable to walk through. Washer and dryer was wonderful to have. We would love to go back sometime!

This house offers a very comfortable stay with many amenities and a quiet yet convenient location. Renters should be aware that the stairs leading to the living quarters are rather steep.

This property was even more beautiful than the pictures! Our family met for the first time on St Simons Island for Thanksgiving and couldn't have had a better time. It was overcast and drizzled rain the majority of the time and the house was perfect for us to hang out in the pool, play table tennis and watch football inside and out. The screened in porch was perfect for us to have our morning coffee and spend even more time outside. The interior was professionally decorated and every detail was thought of in making the property a rental that guests would enjoy!

Manager Response: Thank you for your 5 star review and for being our guest at Island Escape at Fern! We are so glad you loved your first time here and that you had such a wonderful Thanksgiving as well! We hope to see you all again soon!

This home has everything you need and more! Super cool game room to play ping pong, plus a fun outdoor space to hang out and watch TV or take a dip in the heated pool. Love the screen in porch too; it was perfect to curl up with a blanket and read. Beds were super comfy. Towels were plush- felt like I was at a spa. Timed candles set the ambiance. Impeccable amenities. Wonderful, updated home, with gorgeous decorating. Very private. Only 10 min bike ride to the beach. Will definitely come back.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your 5 star review, Marissa!  We love hearing that Island Escape at Fern was more than what you were expecting!  We are so glad you loved all the features of this home and that you had such a wonderful time!  We look forward to seeing you all again soon!
