Testimonials

  • “The house is definitely a reflection of your generous hospitality style. Frankly, if we could bottle the 2nd floor veranda’s cool breeze we could get the world to relax.”

    Carole May 2019

  • “We enjoyed ourselves so much in your beautiful home! Loved St. Simon’s, the beach, bocce ball on the sand, golf, scavenger hunt, the lovely pool, and beaches – and last but not least – the food! We really lived on the back patio.”

    Families from MN, AZ, CO, FL, & WI to celebrate 55th wedding anniversary

  • “What another wonderful time! We found our laughing place, our happy place, and our peaceful place. Making family memories and enjoying a home away from home. Many thanks!……Thank you again for another wonderful vacation! I’ve been in the wonderful carriage house for 10 days and really hate to leave in the morning. But I’m refreshed and renewed and ready for anything now!”

    Family descendants of Joel Chandler Harris, Georgia author of Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit Tales

  • “A perfect getaway for a family of multiple interests! Watched the Olympics with all eyes on Michael Phelps! We enjoyed the golf, downtown, pool, and beaches. Great relaxation, and family bonding. Thanks for a great time.”

    Family from Texas

  • “Our three generation family spent a wonderful five days over Thanksgiving at The Strachan Carriage House. We could not have been at a more comfortable, convenient and historic location. Many wonderful meals were prepared in the kitchen – very easy. We walked the beach, main street, and the lighthouse. The third generation cousins will have so many memories of this family reunion.”

    Familiy gathered from FL, TN, AL, GA, and Nebraska

  • “The Radford family celebrated the 80th birthday reunion of June Radford (Mom). This was our first reunion of the whole family since 2000. The Strachan House made the perfect site for our get-together. The patio by the pool was a wonderful place for everyone to sit and talk in the evening. St. Simons Island is also a great place to visit. Kayaking, bike riding, walks, and the trolley tour were big hits. Also visited the light-house, the cemetery at the Episcopal Church near Ft. Frederica. And we can’t forget that Mom proved her prowess at miniature golf at the age of 80.”

    Family members from NC, TX, NC, CA, GA, and FL.

  • “The pool was phenomenal, as our week was a scorcher! Visiting the beaches, walks into town, and SHOPPING, were fun. We even had to sleep with the lights on after being spooked by the wonderful stories on the lighthouse ghost tour ….a must tour!”

    Grandparents from Florida brought together their kids and grandchildren from Illinios, Wisconsin, and New Jersey.

  • “We had a great 50th wedding anniversary, thanks to Strachan Carriage House – which comfortably accommodated our family of eleven including my wife and I, three children and four grandchildren. The location is great and there was much to do resulting in the week going by too quickly. Thanks for sharing your wonderful home with us.”

    Grandparents in Florida; family from Texas

  • “Happy New Year! Eleven of our family spent a relaxing week here during the holidays with lots of laughs, great excursions and really good food. ..We embraced the close proximity to town and the water. .. We even ventured to Savannah for a night. Playing games in the evenings brought us all closer and bonded generations of ages from 17 to 75! The people in St. Simons are some of the friendliest we’ve ever met on our many travels!”

    Guests from FL, WI, and France

  • “We spent a week here with 3 families which included many young adults and had the vacation of a lifetime. The privately walled and beautifully landscaped pool area is perfect and served as the hub of our gathering. There are also many spaces to find your own version of quiet. The bedroom and bathroom situation allowed privacy and comfort. The third floor bedrooms were huge, comfortable and well air conditioned. Some family members needed to work and the private office served them well. lThe kitchen is small, but functional, and the second refrigerator in the guest house was key for storing beverages. The house is centrally located in town with a simple walk to the central pier, many restaurants and stores. We visited during the pandemic and were able to carry out from many great restaurants. We often ate from many different places for the same meals to satisfy different appetites and diets. The small local beach which comes/goes based upon the tides is simply out the back door for beautiful Georgia sunsets. We rode bikes about 2 miles to East Beach to play in the waves. Patty is a superbly communicative, and very well organized host. We all agreed we would easily stay here again.

    Lisa C, July 2020

  • “What a fabulous house to have our girl retreat and family birthday party! We loved the historic charm and convenient location. Even though all of us have been to St. Simons over the years, this is the first time we’ve all been together to create new memories, and we’re so looking forward to coming back to this beautiful house! See you next time!”
