Our group of seven used the Sea Island Inn as our base to explore the Golden Isles for five days. We all were in complete agreement that the location, pool, beds and more were excellent but what really made the difference from other Inns and hotels was the outstanding friendliness and service , in a word - HOSPITALITY of all employees at the Inn and other Sea Island properties. It was my sixth stay with groups here and think it starts at the top- Emily Rose, Maggie Ireland, Racheal Brent along with Tara and Meredith at the front desk and all others at the front desk, breakfast servers, bartender and housekeepers. Highly recommend!

We weren’t sure what to expect because it looks just okay from across the river in downtown Savannah but when it walked in the door it was as gorgeous as any Ritz Carlton or Four Seasons we had stayed at. The staff was incredible… especially Maurice (Mo) the Bellman and valet! He was a standout! We were celebrating our anniversary and we were upgraded to a gorgeous room overlooking the river with a balcony. We came in one evening to find gourmet chocolate, Wine, a handwritten letter, two delicious cheesecakes, AND two gifts! Does it get any better? The pool was incredible. Great music, relaxing with plenty of chairs, umbrellas and cabanas. We actually stayed in downtown Savannah for a few nights before we arrived here and here just felt totally different like we were at a beach resort to relax and unwind. There is a free ferry every 30 minutes to take you to River street with all the restaurants, shops, and bars you could want. They are improving the golf course and it will be ready soon. It looks absolutely gorgeous and we can’t wait to try it! We loved our stay here and we can’t wait to return!

Great location right on the beach. Roomy areas outside where some guests were grilling and eating. Two pools to choose from. Nice boardwalk to the ocean. The room was plain but clean. Bike rental conveniently located right on the property edge. Balconies are not private but on a walkway - took me a minute to get used to but then liked meeting the neighbors as we walked by. They provide an extensive breakfast that should suit most anyone - dining room is pleasantly located with an ocean view. It was a very kid-friendly hotel and also saw some dogs. Comparing rates it was as good or better value than anything else I found. Only negative was spotty internet but found that true all over the island.

The hotel and room was basic and nice. The breakfast was perfect for my husband and me. My only complaint is my husband had his cellphone stolen out of the room when we went to dinner with friends. We traced his cellphone at an employees house. We put a note on the door of their house to return the phone or call the police. The cellphone returned to the hotel 2 days later.

Wonderful place to stay

Reviewed By melissawH6060OQ

We had 2 different rooms as we added an additional night. Both rooms were great! Every room is different and has different owners. The staff was so friendly, helpful and accommodating! Would stay here every time I visit if available. Close to the park, pier, lighthouse, and shopping! The only complaint would be the parking. Very small spaces to park in.

Most Beautiful Resort!

Reviewed By cheyennew510

The Ocean Lodge Resort with its Spanish-Mediterranean style inside and out is one of the finest resorts we have ever stayed in! Our accommodations were in a premium suite for the 1st night on the 4th floor and the Penthouse suite on the 2nd night on the 5th floor. Both suites were large and of course the penthouse suite was even larger with a huge balcony with 2 sliding glass doors and an even better views to the neighborhood and the partial ocean view. All of the furnishings: couch, chairs, ottoman and bed was very comfortable with lovely high quality furnishings, art work, floor tile and woodwork! Loved the large full kitchen with eating island/bar in both suites that we stayed in. There were 2 tv’s in each suite, with one in the living room and one in the bedroom with streaming channels. Each suite we were in had 2 bathrooms; one bathroom had a shower and tub combo and the second bathroom had a shower with 2 shower heads styles to choose from; a hand-held and a stationary. Each bathroom had wonderful bottles of toiletries. The closet had an ironing board, a robe and slippers. Each suite also had a safe. There were no laundry facilities. We stayed on a Sunday and Monday the 1st week of May 2022 which was perfect since the 5th floor restaurant was closed on those days, therefore we had a very quiet stay, and was happy that we didn't have to hear any chatter coming from diners, plus the weather was perfect during our stay! The parking was free and is conveniently located on the 1st level of the resort with the elevator and luggage cart right there. The resort staff was very welcoming and accommodating! The resort is in a lovely neighborhood with a few minutes walk to the beach. The suites were very clean and we saw no bugs during our stay. We are extremely happy that we chose this beautiful property and will definitely plan on coming back to this lovely island and resort!

The outside may look iffy but the rooms on the inside are really nice! Comfy bed, large bathroom/vanity, new furniture. Also, do you come to the beach to spend time in your room? I don’t! Great price and right across the street from the beach. I’m only writing this last sentence to get to 200 characters. Haha.
