Lovely location; very picturesque setting. Delicious breakfast. Debi was a very friendly host. I wish I had returned here for the last few days of my stay on St. Simons Island, instead of the other place I went to. If I come back, I will spend more time at Grey Owl. The elevator was a wonderful convenience; we did not have to tote our bags up and down the stairs.

Parking was good. Breakfast was good. The property manager was great. The bad was the building is old. Capet need to be replaced. Shower needs to be updated Rainfall shower head that’s not in use needs to be removed since it had some gross looking mold growing on it. The outside area needed cleaning. We tried to sit outside to enjoy a drink but couldn’t because the table in the gazebo was oily and dirt was stuck to it. Bench seat was too dirty to sit on. It was way over priced for what you got. Only worth about half of what we paid. It wasn’t aweful but I wouldn’t recommend this place.
