a week in ssi.
Our stay was good. Unit was clean and comfortable. The location is great. Good email and text communications on rental confirmations. One toilet handle had to be jiggled to keep it from running and bath soap would have been nice. Otherwise, no issues. Biggest challenge was TV in main room did not get any live network stations. Signed up for a free 10-day trial with YouTubeTV which worked. Pool area was hot. Bushes block the breeze and there was no shade.

average vrbo
While the location was great...walkable to the Village area, the condo was average. The family in the unit above us sounded like a herd of elephants until well after midnight. The streaming (cable) service left a lot to be desired, with the channels freezing up frequently throughout the weekend. The kitchen was tiny as was the patio. The bathrooms need to be painted and the bedding was not that comfortable. We will most likely try something different on our next stay.

wonderful stay in ssi
We enjoyed 309 Harbour Oaks very much, but we think there are some issues that people should know. The location is as good as it gets within walking distance of Pier Village and all that the Village has to offer. Communication with Emmons Realty was fine with an issue we had with the washer. The problem didn’t get fixed while we were there but it wasn’t a show-stopper for us. We were highly dissatisfied with the condition of the furniture, namely the couch. It’s filthy, stained, and has an unpleasant odor. I’ve read reviews on other rental sites about this condo and the condition of the couch has been brought up in years past, but the complaints have obviously fallen on deaf ears. The condo is certainly functional, but it needs a lot of TLC. We have rented it again for next year in hopes that the issue with the couch will be taken care of, but we have our doubts. I would highly recommend bringing your own bedsheets to cover the couch so you’re not sitting directly on it. It’s that bad! On a positive note, the kitchen is very well stocked with all the cooking utensils you’ll need and the place seemed very clean when we arrived. The beds are fairly comfortable and the bathrooms could use some updating and a paint job, but again, not a show-stopper for us. Harbour Oaks is a lovely community...quiet, safe, walkable, and full of friendly folks, but we think the experience could be made even better with some updating done to the condo.

a little disappointed
The community was lovely! However, the condo was less than expected. It has good bones just not taken care of. One bath had the shower door off with a curtain to replace. Other bath had moved shower bar and not repainted. Door to laundry room came off track often. There was trash outside unit(just needed to be picked up off ground). There were bleached out parts on couch cover where stains had probably been. The kitchen sink had stains that could have been removed with the correct cleaner. It could be a lovely unit if it were taken care of. Also the AC(nest control) went up during night leaving you warm in early morning.

lovely stay at a lovely harbour oaks on saint simons
My family had a really memorable stay on SSI. It was the getaway we all needed and the harbour oaks 309 was a wonderful home for us. The beds and furniture are all comfortable. We spent most of our time in the village. It is only a few minutes walk away. The condo had plenty of things to cook with. We typically made breakfast together. When we weren’t at the beach, we played games in the living room. Everyone had room to spread out. Thanks again! We will be back!

309 harbour oaks drive rental
We almost had a nice stay but on our first day we were greeted by 2 roaches and a silverfish. On the second day we were out from morning to evening. When we got back and turned on the light, guess what, MORE roaches in the kitchen and bathroom.! I called your office in the morning to report the problem but no answer. I then called the number given on the letter posted in the kitchen for a Carol. Carol was not only rude, she constantly interrupted me and told me that it was not HER problem and that I was to get in touch with the owner of the unit to get an exterminator. We have been renting vacation homes for 14 years and never have we been treated so incredibly rudely. So, the answer is, no, we would never rent through your agency again nor would we recommend you to anybody. Was the condo "clean"? I don't think so. The experience and treatment was utterly disgusting!

holiday stay at 309
Mostly a great stay! A few things need to be addressed: 1. Front storm door needs new closer -- only slams, which is unpleasant for 309 and other people in nearby units. 2. Several light bulbs burned out. 3. Rugs in living room, bedroom, bathrooms were dirty and full of sand.

Sliding glass door doesn’t lock and there are no shower heads. The door to laundry room is broken. Same issues as last time. I think the unit needs a little refresh.

309 harbour oaks
Emmons Vaca Rentals are very reasonable and accommodating. I have used them for vaca rentals in SSI and always pleased. This particular unit needs some updated decor. The storage was an issue in the kitchen and the bedroom, too much clutter in each closet with old blankets, pillows, stacks of pictures no longer hung on walls, etc. Kitchen items such as snacks, bread, coffee, etc. had to be placed on the very small countertop, not a single cabinet was available. It is overly stocked. The beds are very comfortable, the den furniture so so. Harbour Oaks is a great location, very well kept landscape and gate code secured. I will continue to rent there, just a different unit as I have done before.

The condo was spacious enough but could use some upgraded bedding, especially the sheets. Also, there was dust or lint (from the clothes dryer possibly?) on the ceiling and bulkhead in the entire kitchen area. The unit was otherwise clean. Air conditioning cooled in living area very well but the bedrooms would become stuffy and there are no ceiling fans in the bedrooms to remedy the situation. During the night there was noise sounding like furniture movement and a ball being bounced - 1:00-3:00 am. Loved walking to the village and pier areas and enjoyed great meals at restaurants so close by.

I was very impressed with the communication from Emmons. When you rent via pictures, one is always a bit concerned as to how it will be once you arrive. We were pleasantly surprised at the location, grounds, the condo and it amenities. The description of the property and it’s surrounding activities were all very accurate. Looking forward to returning and renting same unit if available. It filled our needs with my small dog. Will do it again.

We has a great stay at St Simons and Emmons was so easy to work with. It was so nice to have our dog with us.Condo was clean and had everything needed in kitchen. It could use a few updates but was priced accordingly. The spare room mattresses could use replacing. The only downside was no air conditioning (things did not dry out when humid) and you hear alot of noises from whoever is staying above. It didn't effect master at much as much as spare bedroom. My daughter had trouble staying falling/staying alseep. Maybe bring a sound machine ??? Location was perfect for shopping, eating, and pier. We drove to beach but mostly because of dog and gear to bring. Teen rode their bikes everyday all around.

really nice time!
We always stay at Harbour Oaks and this was our first time at 309. It was really nice. I do wish the property owners fix the sliding door lock, as that made us feel uneasy, especially with a toddler. You can tell the lock has been repaired several times. Getting the fitness room key could have been explained in the condo directions. The light bulbs used in the toilet rooms are weird and keep the rooms dark for a while (energy efficient?), which scared the kids. LOL! AND PLEASE install ceiling fans in the bedrooms! That would have made sleep a little bit better, as the A/C is either freezing or you are hot from no air circulation. But overall, our stay was really nice and these things just rolled off our backs. 309 was a great place to be!
