This place is beautiful. The patio area by the pool is quiet and serene. The room itself was fantastic. Nice bedding. The mini fridge is stocked with beer, wine, sodas and more for purchase. Also mini bottles of different alcohol are available. It also has water that I believe is free. No ironing board but a really nice steamer. The room doesn't have a regular coffee maker but it's always available at no charge in the pub area. It does have a nespresso machine but we couldn't get it to work. The bathroom was also super nice with very good quality soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. The free breakfast was great. They even had fresh fruit options. The staff was so friendly and helpful. True southern hospitality. We will definitely come back. I will also mention it's really for an older crowd. My son and his wife stopped by and after talking about how nice it was said they felt a bit out of place.
Looking for a quiet child free getaway, look no further? This little Inn and pub is quaint and provides lovely accommodation with lots of in room amenities like TV, comfy beds with quality linens, a mini bar and a Nespresso coffee maker. We have stayed at this hotel twice both times around March. There's often entertainment on a Saturday night and the breakfast (more continental style) is perfectly sufficient. There is a pub too where you can have a nice drink before going out to eat. The Village Inn and Pub is very close to the ST.Simons downtown shopping area with some quaint little shops and a pier. There's plenty of restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner all within walking distance. The staff are very accommodating. Nothing against children but if you're looking for some adult time with peace and quiet you can't go wrong by staying here.
We had a nice one-night stay here. The grounds are very pretty and the courtyard is a pleasant place to linger both in the evening and for breakfast. There is a small swimming pool that we did not try. There's a full bar with a modest number of drafts, and there was live music the night we were there - a drummer and a singer who was playing the keyboards. Music was not bad, some folks were dancing, which me might have been inclined to do as well except that nobody was wearing masks and there was no effort whatsoever at social distancing. The room itself was very comfortable and I would count the place as excellent value for the money. I had a bit of trouble with wi-fi and was unable to contact the front desk because the dedicated line for calling it rang unanswered until voicemail picked up. I asked the bartender about it and it seemed to me that his answer was a bit flip "We've been having trouble with our router all day". But he did get it fixed. And the continental breakfast was tad funky, you make a selection the night before and a bag is waiting for you at the time you designate. Presumably an effort to protect the staff from excessive contact with guests (it can't be an effort to protect guests from,mingling, after all, there was no such effort during the live music). All in all, I give the place four stars, the funky breakfast and lack of COVID prevention when the live music crowd was present make me unable to give a five
My wife and I first came here back in May, we had originally planned on staying at Jekyll Island but we found it a little boring after our first night, so we decided to explore St. Simon's instead. We got on the island and went to Frosty's (across the street from this place) and while we were there my wife spotted this inn and fell in love. So we canceled our room at the Jekyll hotel and booked a room here for 3 nights. We loved the rooms. We stayed in room 112 "The Betsy" which has a balcony facing Mallery St., which is really cool. The rooms are set up old-style Key West, very nicely appointed, and extremely clean. All rooms are spacious and just give you a feeling of really being immersed in the whole St. Simon's experience. Free cable and wifi, free coffee early til late, continental breakfast (during Covid it's been brown bag but still adequate). The location is excellent, within a few minutes walk of the village and pier, right in the middle of great shopping and restaurants. You really don't need to leave the area and can walk just about anywhere you need to go. There are many restaurants, shops, a liquor store less than 30 seconds walk away, bars, pubs, parks. Just a really fabulous location. The staff and management are excellent, everyone here is very accommodating. There is a small pub off the lobby which is quaint and has a full bar and a great bartender named RB who is a favorite among guests and even locals frequent the pub. Everyone on the island knows this inn and pub and everyone speaks highly of both. The rates are very good for the location and access to so many local attractions. The pool is in shade most of the daytime and feels really good on a hot island day. We have now stayed in 2 different rooms and loved them both. The only issue we have is none of the rooms have a fridge or microwave. That's sometimes inconvenient especially when you have drinks you want to keep cold or have leftovers. The other issue we had was our bicycles were stolen off the inn property, from behind the lobby main building, and out of site of the road. They did have a camera and we filed a police report and the police came by and did a report, and hopefully will find the thieves. So that was a real bummer and let the air out of our sails. Bikes were locked up so I suppose when we buy new bikes we will either lock them in our room, or maybe just rent bikes next time. Unfortunate as we'd rather bring our own bikes and not have to spend money on rentals everyday, so that was about a $350 loss. (Update to this bike theft, they did offer to rent us bikes for our stay, and have communicated with the police, neighbors and other locals to try to find our bikes, which we really appreciate. My bike was one I bought on the navy base in Key West so it really hurt to lose that bike, though!) So even though our bikes were stolen and there is no room fridge, the staff and grounds and location and amenities really make it a great experience, so I'm going to give them 5 stars. Not really blaming the inn for the bike theft but maybe in the future they can make different accommodations for guests with bikes, which they said they would. We will definitely return hopefully many times and highly recommend to all. Oh and as an aside, while the inn is kid friendly its mostly a mature older clientele.
The location of the Inn is perfect for anything you would want to do on SSI. Our room was on the second floor, which we preferred rather than have people overhead. The outdoor area is nice, with a small pool and seating. Our room smelled highly of cleaning products, but fortunately after we ran the air conditioning on high, the odor went away. The room is small, but it was sufficient for what we needed for the night. The bar is a nice plus and they make the best chocolate martini. Lots of locals come for drinks and are very friendly. Breakfast in the morning is similar to a Hampton or Comfort Inn.
Really enjoyed our 3 days here. Staff and house keepers were great. Live music each night in the Pub was great. Breakfast offerings was below average for cost of stay this could be much nicer. The property has some age on it but was pretty well maintained. We had mosquitoes in our room each night we had to deal with. The bathroom in the suite was a very space. The location is perfect for walking to local shops and eateries. The pool was refreshing after a day at the beach. All of the staff we interacted with were friendly and wanted to make sure we had a good stay and experience.
After quite a few years of saying that I'm going to one day stay at the Village Inn and Pub I finally followed through this past weekend; and could not have been more pleased. Making the reservation online was quick and easy, check-in was a breeze, finding the room was effortless, and everything else couldn't have been better. The staff working at the Village Inn and Pub were super friendly when we had to interact with them at check-in, breakfast, getting pool towels, and at checkout. They were very efficient and friendly, making sure they treated us very well. The room we stated in was upstairs on the 2nd floor. It was a very nice roomy room with 2 queen beds. When we arrived the room was very clean and smelled great; everything was ready for us. We had plenty of towels, toiletries, and space in the room. The location of the Village Inn and Pub can not be beat; right in the heart of the pier village, making it easy to walk everywhere. I'm looking forward to another trip to the inn in the very near future.
I just stayed for 2 nights and had such a great experience! The room was beautiful with great touches like a chandelier in the bathroom. The bed was super comfortable, there was a mini fridge and coffee maker in the room, and my balcony looked out at the beautiful trees. All of the staff were very friendly and I would definitely return. I would give 4.5 if available, only issue I had was water pressure/getting hot enough.
This is our second year visiting and I'm a firm believe that a small business can be ruined by a bad review so as I'm giving a 5 start review I will also clarify. I have nothing but great things to say about the property, the rooms, the staff...but it's a shame that some guests can't respect rules. This property claims to be a non-smoking property but I had to constantly smell a group's cigarette smoke. I don't think they left the pool the entire visit. We weren't able to use the pool more than about 30 minutes because one group chain smoked. I'm extremely intolerant of smoke, it makes me vomit, lose my voice and feel miserable for days. I only book smoke-free properties. We were offered $20/day discount and I really didn't want any sort of discount I just wanted to enjoy the pool that we spent so much time at last year. The staff struggled with disobedient guests and it truly put a damper on our trip. The staff asked them multiple times to go to a smoking area and the smokers wouldn't agree. I heard them say "I don't give a F***. I don't listen. What are they going to do? I don't feel comfortable as a guest asking another customer to follow rules. I feel like it should have been enforced without me calling multiple times. I spent majority of my time in the room feeling sick from the smell. Guests were also smoking on the balcony below and next to us so we were unable to enjoy the balconies majority of our stay. We signed a non-smoking agreement at checkin, so I'm not sure why these folks didn't "know" the rules. It's frustrating to say the least, this isn't a cheap trip, nor did we want a cheap trip. This was our anniversary trip and it just doesn't compare to the previous year. I hope the policies and signage are updated because we plan to return to this property for many years to come. This is one of the cleanest, best smelling rooms, and the most romantic getaways I've ever been on. I've recommended this place to everyone we know. We truly love the island and particularly this property. I have really tried to structure this review for constructive criticism because I wouldn't change a single thing about the resort, I will continue to recommend and I do know that you can't pick your customers.

Booked a quick 1 night stay at the beginning of July and wish we could have stayed longer! Perfect location that allowed us to walk to the lighthouse and to dinner easily. The room was so cute and cozy and was nicely separated from any nearby rooms. The bed was incredibly soft and plush (which I love) although we did find a very small dead spider under the covers at the foot of the bed. Other than that, we really enjoyed our drinks, live music, and the ambiance at the Pub in the evening. While we didn't have a chance to get in the pool it looked beautiful and very refreshing. There was some loud sawing due to maintenance/construction onsite going on during the day but that didn't bother us much as we were out and about until the evening anyways. Overall a fantastic stay on St. Simon's Island! read more
I chose this hotel off Hotels com, to share a midweek getaway with my guy. He has spring break this week and needed abreak from every day. The pub and motel are picturesque our room has a balcony, robes and slippers, and its Adults Only, so no screaming kiddos as we go to the pool. The rooms are nicely appointed, the king bed is perfect for the night. Im happily impressed. read more
This is a very small place, not too many eating options (a nice charcuterie board!), but Tuesday nights are the nights to be there! Miss "Sistafun" (Bonita Tanner) brings in her very fun music bingo. There was a full house and she makes the place come alive with her bingo. It takes about 2 hours for 8 different games and it's free! There is a full bar and table service during the games. Def recommend for a super fun eve! read more

Not quite a boutique hotel and definitely not a motel so hard to define this charming, cozy well located Inn. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay. The entrance and sitting area of the pub offer great ambience especially with a crackling fire going. This place exudes CHARM. Although the pub doesn't serve food it doesn't matter since it's located in the center of town and you just walk out the front door and have several restaurants in walking distance. We started and finished our evenings in the pub by the fire...feels a bit European, we miss it. Our room was on the small side but we had a sweet balcony overlooking the pool so it more than made up for the size. We highly recommend staying here and we can't wait to return. We only wish we had a small fridge in our room, sigh but not a deal breaker. read more

I rarely find a place to rest my head that is 5 star worthy, however for MY more quiet solitary needs this Inn is fabulous. It has won well-deserved awards from both Coastal Living & Southern Living mags as well as awards for Environmental design, construction and management. The Inn is small, 28 rooms, and has a lovely small pool in a charming courtyard. The beds are comfortable, the bath finished in large granite tile, altho no refrig nor minibar. Some deluxe rooms have beautiful king beds and small private balconies with cafe table for 2. Other rooms looking onto pool courtyard have their own cafe tables off the common walkway. The Pub is small w/ a stone fireplace, live music on weekends, and great bartenders. The beautiful mahogany bar serves as a sideboard for the sumptuous breakfast included w/ room fee. ALL the staff were great -- friendly & helpful. read more

Is the pool heated?
No it is not heated. It is a wonderful temp all day and night though. We haven't been in winter, however, and they do not have a jacuzzi.
I would like to know if they have onsite parking, and if it is reserved for Inn guests only? Super important.
Yes they do have parking and it is not only for Inn guests. We came by for the trivia on Wednesday night and had no trouble parking in their parking lot.
