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.

Beautiful St. Simmons Island

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Mora, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Just okay !

It was just okay - especially after staying at other B &B for the last week. I just “warn” anyone on the bigger side - the bathroom would not work for you I am 5’4” @128lbs and it was tight - lol. Breakfast was fine - but really special to report back.

Amazing adventure

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.

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.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Well banistered stair to Melody's Roost (and other rooms.
2 queen, adjustable massagee beds!
Partition for sofa bed area.
Half bath.

"Whoo" should stay at the Grey Owl Inn

One of the best B&B's we've ever stayed in. It certainly lived up to it's website and delivered everything it promised. The setting was particularly lovely with the pond and beautiful old trees, and the owner was gracious and helpful without being intrusive. We look forward to going back!
Sherry, 1-night trip

A nice inn with comfortable rooms

The room was spacious, bright, and comfortable. We were surprised when the bed was not made or towels replaced, as we were not advised that the management did not service the rooms at all during our stay. We did request more coffee, and it was left outside the room for us. The breakfasts were delicious, hot, and made to order. The inn is centrally located, and it was easy to get to attractions and the beach. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

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.
