Seahorse Villa

Our stay at Seahorse was wonderful. We enjoyed every aspect of our time at Seahorse. We also had many guests stay with us so we were able to share the amazing views and luxury of the house. Lilmar property services were extremely responsive when we encountered some minor items. The communication was immediate and they always followed up. In terms of improvements, we do have some suggestions. The house is amazing as is, but could benefit from some upgrades. Naturally, over time things wear out, so we would suggest the master bedroom get a new mattress. It would also be nice to have a full length mirror in the master closet. Also the bar that we hung clothes on seemed like it may not hold everything. The dishwasher has probably reached the end of its useful life. The stove top and oven are complicated to use (at least for us). Burners and the oven would turn off in mid-use and we could not figure out why. Some directions would be useful. We enjoyed the game room, but the ping pong table and paddles are very worn out. The above are just suggestions on our part. We loved the house and our stay. We have memories to last a long time. We are interested in renting the house again for the same time next year. Please let us know if it is available. Thank you. John and Michele.

The house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving vacation. The beds we so comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking our own meals, and the beach was in view and just a few steps away.

We absolutely loved this house and the location. I would give it excellent, but the mattresses were actually SO soft it felt like we were sleeping in hammocks. I also believe there is something wrong with the dishwasher door. Again, aside from these two things we loved the house!

We’re sorry to hear that the mattresses weren’t to your liking. We can certainly look into some ways to ensure optimal comfort for future guests. Regarding the dishwasher, we’ll have it checked out as soon as possible. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

The home was beautiful and the private pool was a hit for everyone. The walk to the beach is not bad. Takes about 5 min. Adorable town. The management company was quick to fix any issues.

Manager Response: Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Seahorse Villa! We are so glad you all enjoyed this home and the pool as well! It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back to again next time you visit St. Simons!

This was our second year at the Sea Horse Villa and the first time under Lilmar Vacations management. First about Lilmar. A definite pleasure dealing with and booking with their company. Always there to answer your questions and handle any issues. The minor issue we had regarding linins was resolved within an hour. The unit itself was exceptionally clean upon check in. Great cleaning service as well as the pool servicing. As for the property the pictures speak for them self. Slept our families of twelve comfortably. Nice quiet street, pool and easy beach access. Easily parked all four vehicles with room for more. Truly a Great Stay. In fact, we've already booked for next summer.

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing to stay at Seahorse Villa again. We're thrilled to hear that your experience with us was so wonderful, from booking to enjoying the property. We are so glad that our team swiftly resolved any concerns and that the cleanliness and comfort of the villa met your expectations as well. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we're can't wait to welcome you all back again next summer!

Best beach house we have ever rented...very spacious, and well designed. Two minor things for improvement on a near flawless experience...upgrade the coffee maker...Mr. Coffee was in poor operating condition and needs replacing...also, could not locate a cleaning brush/scraper for the propane grill...maybe it had been misplaced by a previous guest? Thanks for offering up a great property for our family to enjoy!

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Seahorse Villa!  We're thrilled to hear that you found this home spacious and well-designed, making for a near-flawless stay. We appreciate your feedback on the coffee maker and the propane grill brush; upgrading the coffee maker is something we can definitely consider and we will make sure there is a grill brush for guests as well. It was a pleasure hosting you all, and we hope to welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

We just spent a week with our grown kids and their two babies (11 months and 9 months) the best grands in the world at Seahorse Villa. It was awesome. The kids have already asked if we can come back next year. So many wonderful memories were made at Seahorse! The house is everything pictured and more. The balconies are great. You can see the ocean. So beautiful. Great porch furniture on all the balconies. The kitchen, dining area and living room are fabulous. Spacious so everyone could be together. The pool--we went the week before Memorial Day and debating about whether to heat the pool or not. We decided not to and it was a good decision. The water was cool but fine once you got in. And it felt great because we had some hot days! The kids and grands had the floor with all the bedrooms and we had an amazing master suite on the top floor! For the babies there is one crib, one pack and play, one gate (works in the main area so no stair issues), one seated high chair with a tray that straps to a chair and lots of toys for playing in the sand at the beach and the pool. We left an infant float that worked great in the pool. For the adults--there were lots of beach chairs in the garage area where the ping pong table is located. There is also a basketball hoop for the pool and lots of other toys. There were plenty of towels for the pool and beach. And the washer and dryer are great. The elevator was a bonus for unloading and loading! If my elderly dad would have come, it would have been great as there are a lot of steps. The kitchen is great. Well stocked. There is a crockpot, food processor, blender and of course pots and pans! There were a few spices and actually maybe more now because I left mine there! (LOL) We used our rental equipment money from VayKLife for a cart to help haul things down to the beach, corn hole and bikes. It is a beautiful area to ride bikes around. We originally ordered chairs but since there were so many at the house, VayKLife exchanged the chairs for more bikes the next day. Great service and very friendly. The beach--there is a boardwalk right by the house to the beach but it is a trek and the mosquitoes are plentiful on that walk! We recommend walking, driving or riding bikes to the beach entrance that is right off Woods Ave (or is it Street?) Directions: at the end of Olive Way, turn left onto Woods and go less than a quarter mile and take a left. The beach is at the end of that street (which is about as long as Olive Way so short) with public parking. Lilmar Properties--cannot, cannot say enough about how incredible they are from start to finish. So nice, so helpful and so responsive. Great communication from deciding to book, to booking to pre-arrival emails, one phone call to texting while we were there. Outstanding service. Thank you. If you have read to the end of this review, I am not sure what you are waiting for--book it! Enjoy!

We had a great time at this property. The house was beautiful and accommodating to everyone. Loved the balconies and plenty of space for everyone to have family time and quiet time if needed. Also took advantage of the bike rentals which was really neat. It’s about a 15 minute bike ride and we were in the middle of shops restaurants and parks. If I can offer any criticism it would be the house proximity to the beach. It’s a good 10 minute walk and bringing a cooler or anything with wheels was not possible as the trek was a middle wet and merky swampish at times. With little ones and a handicap parent bathroom visits could be a problem. But other than that love the experience and the house.

Manager Response: Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Seahorse Villa. We are so thrilled you enjoyed the house and its ample space for family time. We're so glad you took advantage of the bike rentals as well to explore - it really is a great way to see the island. We really appreciate your feedback on the beach access and understand the importance of convenience, especially when traveling with children and accommodating special needs. Your feedback is invaluable, and while some environmental factors are beyond our control, we are committed to enhancing our guest experience and will consider your comments as we think about future amenities and services. It was a pleasure hosting you all for your family getaway and we hope we can welcome you all back again next time you visit!

House was great, some minor feedback... - Include a couple of coffee filters in your starter kit - Turn on the pool heater before guests arrive - Non perishable food dropoff for local food pantry, we threw away alot of good stuff

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Seahorse Villa! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and genuinely appreciate your suggestions. Rest assured, we always strive to anticipate our guests' needs, including pre-heating the pool if requested. We apologize if this was not already turned on prior to your arrival. We appreciate your thoughtfulness in suggesting the non-perishable food drop off for the local food pantry as well; it's a wonderful idea, and we'll certainly look into implementing it. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope we can have the opportunity to host you all again soon!
