Travellers describe The Grey Owl Inn as a charming, quiet B&B with beautifully landscaped grounds, friendly hosts, and widely praised cooked to order breakfasts, offering comfortable rooms and a convenient St. Simons Island location near beaches and local attractions.
Some reviews note very small bathrooms in certain rooms, occasional maintenance hiccups like a broken lift or briefly lukewarm water, and rare lapses in outdoor upkeep or smoke odors from other guests. A few guests also mentioned a narrow breakfast window or limited side options, and one review said housekeeping was not provided daily. Ideal for travelers seeking a personable B&B base on St. Simons Island.

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.

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.

The Grey Owl was a precious surprise! We (3 adults) had the best room, Melody's Roost, and it was spectacular! Stained glass decor, massage beds (!), a sleeper sofa with privacy screen--it's listed for 5 but it could sleep 4 adults and 2 well behaved small children on that sofa bed. The tub and shower in the master bath are epic. The room was quiet, and the grounds were gated so parking felt as secure as my home garage! Teresa greeted us and was so sweet! She gave us the full tour and offered help with our bags up the single flight of stairs. My 89 year old friend with the double knee replacement made the climb, and she said it was completely worth it when she saw the room! Breakfast was hot and served to (pre) order! We all want to visit again, maybe make a long weekend of it. Keycode entries, directions to the beach, and soothing neighborhood. A gorgeous, spacious, repeatable stay worth every penny!

Parking was good. Breakfast was good. The property manager was great. The bad was the building is old. Capet need to be replaced. Shower needs to be updated Rainfall shower head that’s not in use needs to be removed since it had some gross looking mold growing on it. The outside area needed cleaning. We tried to sit outside to enjoy a drink but couldn’t because the table in the gazebo was oily and dirt was stuck to it. Bench seat was too dirty to sit on. It was way over priced for what you got. Only worth about half of what we paid. It wasn’t aweful but I wouldn’t recommend this place.

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.

It’s a beautiful place but during our stay someone decided to smoke marihuana in their rooms. The hallway and our room smelled like skunk. Smoking (no matter what) should be done outside, since the hotel have a non smoking rule. We had to asked for candles and bought one ourselves, to try to be able to breathe comfortably. I was very disappointed. New mattress was needed in the room, same as softer pillows. Breakfast was wonderful and perfect service. In general the place is lovely, if only everyone will follow the regulations. Someone felt entitled to break it.

This inn is beautiful. We were lucky to have checked in just as the owner was also entering the property. He gave us a tour and history of the inn. Loved the personal attention. The room, Frog Hollow, was also very nice and clean. However, the bathroom is very small, maybe even smaller than on a cruise ship. Also, I was very excited to sit in the screened in porch to enjoy my morning coffee, but this room has the porch facing all the air conditioners so the noise was a drawback. Breakfast was wonderful. Location is also good. We were able to walk to the WWII museum, the beach, and several dinner places. Look for Southern Soul BBQ and Fiddlers, they are close by and wonderful. All in all I would stay here again, but pick a different room.

My wife and I were so fortunate to find the Grey Owl Inn during our visit to St. Simons Island. The property was beautiful, the room incredibly clean, check-in and out were an absolute breeze and the breakfast, perfect. Debbie, the Innkeeper, was southern hospitality at its' finest, and we were surprised to receive a visit from Bill, the Inn's owner, while having some wine and cheese one beautiful afternoon under the gazebo. He shared a bit of the property history, including the renovations he oversaw after acquiring the house and property. Of and when we return to St Simons, we will DEFINITELY be staying again at the Grey Owl.

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.

WOW!!!! This is a true hidden gem tucked away in the heart of St. Simons. We will never stay anywhere else when we visit the Golden Isles.

The Grey Owl was a precious surprise! We (3 adults) had the best room, Melody's Roost, and it was spectacular! Stained glass decor, massage beds (!), a sleeper sofa with privacy screen--it's listed for 5 but it could sleep 4 adults and 2 well behaved small children on that sofa bed. The tub and shower in the master bath are epic. The room was quiet, and the grounds were gated so parking felt as secure as my home garage! Teresa greeted us and was so sweet! She gave us the full tour and offered help with our bags up the single flight of stairs. My 89 year old friend with the double knee replacement made the climb, and she said it was completely worth it when she saw the room! Breakfast was hot and served to (pre) order! We all want to visit again, maybe make a long weekend of it. Keycode entries, directions to the beach, and soothing neighborhood. A gorgeous, spacious, repeatable stay worth every penny!

This inn is beautiful. We were lucky to have checked in just as the owner was also entering the property. He gave us a tour and history of the inn. Loved the personal attention. The room, Frog Hollow, was also very nice and clean. However, the bathroom is very small, maybe even smaller than on a cruise ship. Also, I was very excited to sit in the screened in porch to enjoy my morning coffee, but this room has the porch facing all the air conditioners so the noise was a drawback. Breakfast was wonderful. Location is also good. We were able to walk to the WWII museum, the beach, and several dinner places. Look for Southern Soul BBQ and Fiddlers, they are close by and wonderful. All in all I would stay here again, but pick a different room.

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.

We needed the lift which was broken. No adjustment was made because of this. No daily maid service was offered or mentioned. Otherwise, the place is lovely with lots of special features. The daily full breakfast is wonderful.

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.

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.

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.

We have stayed here before but it’s time for some updating of the furniture and general maintenance. It’s time for renovations as there’s a lot of things that need replaced or updated!! Blinds not functioning properly, shower controls not working, fine detailed cleaning is needed, ice machines not working, mattresses replaced amongst other things, it is a awesome place just needs some much needed maintenance, updating, replacing of linens, towels etc. etc. Not being a Karen or Kevin but the money I paid doesn’t match what should be expected!!
