Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Golden Isles Concierge services.
-
A personal concierge is someone you hire to handle tasks and errands on your behalf — essentially a trusted assistant for your daily life. At Golden Isles Concierge, we help busy families, seniors, and vacation guests take care of the things that take up their time: grocery shopping, prescription pickups, appointments, well-being checks, vacation rental prep, and much more. Think of us as the person who takes care of the details so you can focus on what you love.
-
We primarily serve St. Simons Island, Sea Island, and Brunswick, Georgia. If you're not sure whether we cover your location, please call us at (912) 223-8853 — we'll do our best to accommodate you.
-
Our pricing depends on the services needed, the frequency, and the arrangement that works best for you. We offer three flexible structures: hourly rates for occasional or one-time needs, project pricing for defined tasks like vacation rental preparation, and retainer packages for clients who want ongoing weekly support. We never charge hidden fees — grocery and supply costs are passed through at cost with receipts provided. Contact us for a free 20-minute consultation and a customized quote.
-
No. Golden Isles Concierge provides non-medical personal assistance only. We do not dispense medication, provide clinical or nursing care, or serve as a licensed home health agency. Founder Anne Vardar has over 30 years of experience in home health care and brings deep compassion and expertise to every interaction, but our services are companion, errand, and lifestyle support. We work well alongside licensed medical providers and are happy to coordinate with a client's care team.
-
The easiest way to get started is to call us at (912) 223-8853 or fill out the contact form on our website. We offer a free, no-obligation 20-minute consultation to talk through your needs, answer your questions, and put together a plan. Most clients are up and running within 24–48 hours of their first call.
-
Yes. We partner with Airbnb and VRBO hosts, private property owners, and property management companies to provide pre-arrival grocery stocking, home walk-throughs, supply checks, and home watch services between stays. We can also work directly with guests as an add-on amenity. Contact us to discuss a recurring host package.
-
Absolutely. Supporting seniors is one of our most important services. We offer well-being checks, errand runs, appointment accompaniment, and compassionate companionship for seniors living at home or in assisted living or nursing facilities in the Golden Isles. We notify family members after every visit so you always know your loved one is cared for. See our Senior Concierge Services page for full details.
-
Yes! A Golden Isles Concierge gift certificate is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give — especially for a busy new homeowner, a senior parent, or friends arriving for a vacation. Certificates are available in any amount and can be applied to any of our services. Call (912) 223-8853 or contact us to purchase one.
-
Golden Isles Concierge is locally owned and operated by Anne Vardar, who was raised in the Golden Isles and has built her career here. That local knowledge matters — we know the stores, the roads, the pharmacies, and the community. We're also small by design: every client works directly with Anne and her carefully selected team, so you always get consistent, personalized service from someone who genuinely cares. We're not a franchise or an app — we're your neighbor.
-
Yes, and it's one of the most popular ways clients work with us. Many of our clients have a standing weekly grocery order, a regular well-being check schedule for a parent, or a retainer arrangement that covers a set number of errand hours per month. Recurring arrangements often receive a preferred rate. Let's talk about what makes sense for your situation.
