Amazing adventure

It almost seen like it was I first visited. The hostess greeted us on arrival. The room we choose was from the previous stay early this year. The breakfast was delicious and home made served with juice and coffee. The beach was breathtaking and beautiful. We visited some historic sites as well.

The Gray Owl is a charming B&B slightly off the beaten path but convenient to everything on the island. It is a very quiet retreat with a pretty pond with fountain. The breakfasts were great and Betty was an excelllent host.

Just okay !

It was just okay - especially after staying at other B &B for the last week. I just “warn” anyone on the bigger side - the bathroom would not work for you I am 5’4” @128lbs and it was tight - lol. Breakfast was fine - but really special to report back.

Beautiful property, nicely kept with a good parking spot, quiet and great breakfast. Unfortunately, we had only lukewarm to cold water to shower in the first day. It was repaired the second day. I would recommend a little more time span for breakfast rather than just 9AM.

Beautiful St. Simmons Island

I loved the property with its fountain pond and lush landscaping. It is within walking distance to the beaches and some very nice eateries. My room was themed about Dr. Albert Schweitzer and the safari camp where HRM Elizabeth II was staying when she inherited the throne upon her father's passing. The whole property is just filled with such details from books to gardens. And the breakfast in the sun room overlooking the garden was delicious and so relaxing (soothing if you will). Staff was awesome and helpful in finding things to see locally.

A nice inn with comfortable rooms

The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable. We were surprised when the bed was not made or towels replaced, as we were not advised that the management did not service the rooms at all during our stay. We did request more coffee, and it was left outside the room for us. The breakfasts were delicious, hot, and made to order. The inn is centrally located, and it was easy to get to attractions and the beach. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Liked: Comfortable bed. Large room. Friendly host. Didn’t like limited breakfast choice. Prefer other B & B’s that have several side choices offered each day for all main entrees, ie fruit, meats, breads, juices.

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.
