The room, building, location are top-notch. We chose it for a restful last night in SSI and it didn’t disappoint as we sat on the balcony and watched herons and dolphins just 100’ from us.

The icy reception when checking in, not a smile or welcoming chit-chat that we are accustomed to during our month-long stays each year on the island. Our room was on the 3rd floor, but the number begain with 2, and the woman at the desk never bothered to mention it. (Fortunately, there were only 3 floors, so we figured it out after not being able to find it on the 2nd floor.) We’d like it better, too, if the bike paths extended to the facility.

Nice and clean. Staff was very cordial and helpful. We were in the turner building. It had a really nice view of the river and the dock right off then balcony. After we had dinner at a nearby restaurant we enjoyed the sunset and had a good nights sleep. We went to check out and our car battery had died. We called the front desk for help and within 5 minutes security came and helped us out. They didn’t act like it was a hassle. It’s things like this that make me want to return to this quiet, peaceful place to stay. I’d have no problem recommending them.

Not much. Itis a bit confusing where to go for the rooms as it’s a large complex. But the people there are so helpful they took the time to help.

Epworth By the Sea is a beautiful place. Clean comfy room, great Wi-Fi, and nice balcony. The grounds are well maintained, and the views are amazing. This is a great place to relax, unwind, and have a tranquil experience. Beautiful live oaks, gardens/green spaces, water views, and gorgeous sunsets. Short drive to restaurants, shops, pier, lighthouse, and beaches.

The pool wasn't open yet. No kitchenette, but has a mini-fridge and microwave.

It was so peaceful. I loved the location. I loved being right on the water and the balcony. I did not know it was a Christian retreat but that made it all the more special and the grounds were beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was a good size. The staff was also very friends.

There wasn’t anything I did not like about the property.

The view was absolutely beautiful. The room was very clean and cozy. The bed slept well and was very welcoming to a tired body. We were very happy with our room and all the space we had to put our things.

The only complaint we really had was the shower. The water pressure was very low and it felt like it took forever to rinse off. Other than that we cant think of a thing wrong.

This was our 2nd stay at Epworth. We travel to the Golden Isles regularly and have stayed at several area hotels. Epworth is definitely a new favorite. The view from our balcony was so beautiful and the grounds so peaceful that we spent most of our first day just hanging out in our room instead of on the beach.

The only thing I would improve on is the bedding. The beds and pillows are comfortable, but the cover is literally just a sheet and a slightly thicker sheet. I knew this from our first visit so I brought a comforter from home and it was perfect. So if you are used to a sleeping with a blanket or comforter bring one with you!

The property was so beautiful. The room was laid out well and comfortable. We could see the water and wildlife from our balcony.

Most people go here for church conferences of some sort. We weren’t a part of that but we were still able to enjoy a peaceful view and rest where they roomed us.

I have been to the Epworth many times, the price is right, and the view of the canal is beautiful from the rooms private balcony. It's away from the busy strip, so it's always quiet and peaceful. My kids love to fish off the dock. It's a great hotel. Room was clean and staff were friendly and helpful.

If I have any issues at all, it would be the water pressure in the shower is a little lacking.

I didn’t realize it was part of a shrine for Methodist, but it on a beautiful landscaping and history. Room was clean and facilities were clean. It was 15 minutes from downtown so it was convenient. I had beautiful view of the river and even saw dolphins. I would stay here again . There were 2 weddings while we were there.

Bikes for rental could’ve been nicer with baskets. They were expensive too.

The location is perfect! Minutes away from the Village and beaches on St. Simons. Brunswick and Jekyll are both within a 30 minute drive. The grounds were very quiet and secure, and the sunset is spectacular!

The only thing I was disappointed in was the bedding. There was a sheet and then a very thin spread. Literally, nothing substantial. Will not keep me from visiting again; I'll just pack a blanket next trip!
