Family-friendly home

The house had almost everything a family would need, such as kitchen appliances and cooking needs, comfortable beds, a place for pets, shovels for children...It was a place where we could feel at home.

Beach weekend

The location is great. Walking distance to the beach was perfect. The backyard area was quiet and a nice place to relax. I’d stay here again IF they installed a working outdoor water hose/shower (preferably in the front of the house). Unfortunately, we were unable to keep sand out of the house without one. There is an old hose and shower out back but it was not functioning. I did not receive any follow up when I reached out to the management company regarding this being broken. But I would not stay in this property again without a working outdoor hose area to wash off before entering the house.

Enjoyable with a few suggestions for the cottage owners.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First, loved the location, close to beach and dining. Good parking areas. Some suggestions to improve the stay:1- Make available outside running water, reduces the sand tracked inside, in tubs and a courtesy for renters to wash beach items after use.2- Only one TV in cottage, not even a HD TV. Most rentals have a TV in all bedrooms, not here.3- HVAC filters should be changed regularly, the return was full of dust! Didn't appear to have been changed in months!4- Every receptacle in bedrooms was loose, plug-ins always fell-out.5-Hallway shower couldn't be set to comfortable level, would go from hot to cold while in.6-Would be nice if den furniture was upgraded. Needs a true sofa, a lounger is not a sofa.7-Do away with the make-shift head and foot boards, current ones rocked every time you got in or out of bed.8- Update vanities in both baths.9- Didn't appear lawn service ever weeds the backyard areas, nice patio/deck, but weeds and poison ivy was abundant in both front and back.Sorry to be a "downer", having rented homes on SSI for the last 12 summers, most cottages have been updated to stay up with the competition. I feel the owner needs to hear these comments and know what renters expect and what needs improvements. I was planning to get your email when we stopped on Saturday, but you were not open. Please pass these comments on to the owners. However, you don't need to place this on your website review.

Great home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were only in Saint Simons for 3 nights, but we really enjoyed ourselves. We didn't get to use the kitchen much but it looked to have had anything you could need to cook in the house. The couches and beds were comfortable. The back patio was beautiful. We were able to walk to Mallery St and many restaurants. I definitely recommend the Leapin Lizard Cottage!

Excellent Stay at Leapin' Lizards!

Our family loved our stay at Leapin' Lizards. It was the perfect size home for two families with little ones to stay in. We were a very short walk from the beach. The house had all the space and amenities needed. Wouldn't have changed a thing!

Great Stay at the Leapin' Lizard Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous SSI stay at the Leapin' Lizards Cottage. Plenty of parking for our large SUV, my parent's cars when they visited and our golf cart. Beds were very comfortable and we easily slept 2 adults, 3 teens and the baby in the bed rooms. My favorite feature was an extremely well-stocked kitchen! The kids were so excited for the waffle maker, we had to make a trip to Harris Teater the day we arrived to stock up. We loved the outdoor space, great patio furniture and we appreciated being able to use the charcoal grill a few nights. The full size washer and dryer were also well used. We will be booking again for next year! A great neighborhood with friendly residence, walking dogs, waving hi! Easy to get to all the island's key sites. We would highly recommend.

Perfect for our needs

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Leapin Lizard is the perfect setup for us. It's convenient, tastefully decorated, outstanding outdoor living, great neighbors, suitable for our pups, and reasonably priced. The only improvement I can think of would be to include a king sized bed. This will be our "go to rental" for future trips.

Leaping Lizards Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was spacious and was comfortable for us. Loved the outside deck. Enjoyed sitting and having evening cocktails on the back deck. Could have been cleaner, dusty, and floors cleaned. Noted black (mold or mildew) on ceiling of left bedroom over hanging rack. Noted black on ceiling exhaust fan in bathroom to right. Lawn looked as if it had not been cared for in several months...weeds and overgrown, front and back. Would recommend and would lease again if ‘spruced’ up.We did have a great time and very pleased with all the care and concern RealEscapes had in finding us a place after Irma flooded our original lease.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic time at the Leapin Lizard Cottage. House was perfect for family of four, the outdoor living space was really great. We walked or road bikes just about everywhere, so the location is great for us too. We even met the neighbors, who were great. Couple negatives if I'm being picky....The construction at 7am next door every morning was really not good. Vacation = Sleep and we didn't get much with hammers, saws, and people outside two bedrooms. The back door knob came off but there were no tools anywhere to fix. I did the best I could, but probably needs to be looked at soon. The lock on the fence probably needs to be fixed soon too, as it was often difficult to close. Only one suggestion of enclosing the outdoor shower, as we loved it and would use more if enclosed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, would definitely stay there again and recommend it. Only drawbacks were some of the fixtures are a little dated and the criling needs repairing in a couple places. However overall it was one of my favorite rentals. The back porch was wonderful and we liked the way it was decorated. As always Jan and the staff at Real Escapes were great.

This is the third year we have spent a month in this property.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This year started bad with faulty AC that had to be replaced. One whole day gone. The bathrooms need To be updated badly The toilets and showers barely work. Seems I had to be constantly calling the nice people at Real Escapes. I don't like to be put in the position of complaining. Need to close this one down and refurnished with comfortable beds,, sofa and chairs. For almost $2800 for a month I expect to be comfortable and not be put in the position of complaining. We left early when the shower faucet came off in my hand. Next year Real Escapes will find me a more comfortable, well maintained house.

Believe renter should be forthcoming about drawbacks

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful place in a lovely location.What we were NOT told was that there would bemajor construction next door (to the right of the property in the picture) within arm's reach and precluding any vacation sleeping whatsoever. We submit that this is NOT a situation of caveat emptor, and that Real Escapes had an obligation to forewarn clientsof this disturbing disruption to a long-awaited vacation. And offer a discount.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we enjoyed our stay. There were a few specifics, however, which were unusual. First, I understand that we were the first to stay since a renovation, but the house was dusty with several spiders on arrival(how long since someone was inside?). Second, I understand it is a vacation rental, but the lack of essentially basic channels (no CNN, no ESPN) was frustrating. There is internet access, but it was nearly impossoble to decipher the access code, caps sensitive but not at all what is on the form. Light on the back deck MUST be replaced, it arcs very loudly and flickers on and off, mostly off.
