We started our home search remotely and Vicki was a wealth of information…read more She lives on St Simons and knows the area well. She was well prepared for our visits with maps and print outs on all homes available. We felt an urgency to "buy" and she was a voice of reason, instructing us not to settle on a property if it didn't "feel right". That down to earth, not pushy approach is exactly what you want with a realtor. And after the purchase, she met with painters for estimates and was there every step of the way for our move. She responded quickly to all our questions and made everything so less stressful. I can't imagine working with anyone else, and if I ever move (doubtful), I will call on Vicki.

We highly recommend Sea Palms Coastal Realty. Our realtor, Vicki Wilcox, was amazing. Vicki was…read moreknowledgeable, professional and made us feel comfortable and confident during our search for our dream home on the island. We got the personal attention we wanted and needed but also the convenience of automated paperwork/information. We ran into more than a few bumps in the process (with our lender) and Vicki went above and beyond to make sure we made it to closing. Vicki's Broker, Sherrye Gibbs, also got involved to support us. Ultimately, we got our dream home and we have Vicki and Sea Palms Coastal Realty to thank.

We booked the Beach Club specifically for its oceanfront location and promised beach access, but…read morethe reality was alarming. The beach access was completely dilapidated--getting to the sand required trekking through murky, insect-filled puddles and pushing through weeds as high as six feet. It felt unsafe and unsanitary, so we ended up driving to a public access point instead, despite paying for on-site beach access. Inside, the condo's condition was just as troubling. The walls and cabinets were stained, closet doors were broken, and the floor was filthy--there was sand and grit under the living room rug, which caused one of us to slip and fall. We spent our first hours vacuuming, mopping, and sweeping just to make the place livable. For the price and reputation, basic cleanliness and maintenance should be a given. If the on-site beach access is unusable, that should be clearly disclosed ahead of time, and housekeeping/maintenance standards need serious attention. Until the beach access is restored and units are properly cleaned and repaired, we cannot recommend Hodnett Cooper Vacation Rentals on St. Simons Island.

While I have submitted several reviews on various businesses I have never left a negative review…read morefor any business until now. I feel it is important to pass on the issues we encountered. My family and I have rented dozens of properties on St Simons Island over the years in various price ranges. The property we rented from Hodnett Cooper is without a doubt the most disappointing of all. We walked in the unit to find dog accessories scattered through out the unit. We are dog people, and do not mind pets at all, but dog toys, feed and water bowls, and dog beds were everywhere. One of the bedrooms closets was stacked with well used dog beds to the point the closet could not be used. Another bedroom's closet floor was littered with the owners' items as was the bath closet. None of the closet space was usable space for us because of the owners' personal items. There were five adults in the three-bedroom unit with five bath towels and five wash cloths. The downstairs ceiling fan clanked so loudly when it was on that it was nearly impossible to sleep. All of the mattresses were worn out. The upstairs rooms were so warm that sleeping was difficult as well. After the second day we returned from dinner to find the air conditioning had stopped working. I reported to afterhours maintenance and was assured someone would be out the next day. Near lunch time after a couple calls to the office a technician arrived and told us not only was the unit not working properly downstairs but there was no air flow to the upstairs rooms at all. I realize mechanical issues can occurred at any time, but once we were told by the repairman there was not air flow upstairs, we knew this was not a new issue. I sent photos of the condition of the unit to the office, but it was never acknowledged, and when I ask an agent she told me she had not had an opportunity to look at the photos. After several conversations we did get moved to another unit but it wasted a day of our vacation. The agent just kept saying how nice the unit we were complaining about and they had never have received a complaint. We ask and were given an additional day at the new unit, but when I ask about compensation for less expensive unit I was told it was the same price. I had already checked pricing, and the unit we were moved into was on average over $40.00 per night less. And although it was through no one's specific fault a siding crew worked all through the day repairing siding on the adjacent unit so we got to hear the pounding of hammers and saws all day. The workers then used the deck on the unit we had paid for to store tools, and take their breaks and lunch. We love St Simons Island and will continue to visit several times a year as we have in the past but never will we consider Hodnett Cooper to lease a unit.

In both scenarios extremely poor communication from them. Would not respond to emails and etc. Also, in the matter of representing our HOA, this company did not communicate, and would not facilitate in providing needed information to those that they represent. Owner can be very rude and condescending to both property owners and renters. The company falls extremely short on providing transparency and communication. Would not recommend Sand Dollar Shores Properties to other HOA's, renters, or property owners in general.
