Ocean views from roof top deck. Easy walk to beach!

Welcome to Avonlea Cottage located in the ocean front neighborhood of Coast Cottages on St Simons Island. Coast Cottages is a Victorian styled planned community on St. Simons’ widest stretch of sand. Many consider it the most exquisite real estate anywhere in Georgia.

Avonlea is a 5 bedroom and 5 bath cottage that will sleep a maximum of 12 people. On the first floor you will find a fully stocked kitchen, a living room with ample seating, a dining room that seats 8 - all with an open concept. A screened back porch off the kitchen will provide you with limited marsh views. In addition, the first level also has a bedroom with queen bedding and en-suite bath. You will love the decor and colors throughout this wonderful beach cottage.

Going up to the second floor, at the first landing, is a small deck that allows you to look up and down the cobblestone streets of the Coast Cottage neighborhood. When you get to the second floor you will find two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. The back bedroom has a deck with marsh views. The laundry is located between these two bedrooms.

On the third floor, you'll discover two additional fabulous bedrooms. One bedroom has two sets of bunks and an en-suite bath that will be the perfect spot for the kids. The back bedroom has a king-sized bed, an en-suite bathroom and a deck off the bedroom. Just when you thought you were on the top floor, from the deck, you will find a spiral staircase to the rooftop deck. From the rooftop deck you have fabulous ocean views!

At Avonlea, you will have complete and private access to the whole house which is approximately 2700 sq. feet. You will also have access to the 2 oceanfront neighborhood pools and covered pavilion. You will love this picturesque neighborhood of colorful homes and cobblestone streets.

Avonlea is about a half mile from several popular restaurants and just over a mile to the Lighthouse and the Pier/Village area. Bike riding is a fun way to see the island.

Note: TVs are streaming only with a live connection through Fubo.

Great location, my family really enjoyed the house, pool, and beach. One negative was the first day walking to the beach from the pool, along the walkway we were attacked by large mosquitoes!!!! I guess they breed in the standing water along the way. Other than that it was good. Photo was take from rooftop.

Great location

Location was great! Parking for 2 cars, overflow wasn't too far away. The house was great for our group. However, the dishes, including pots, pans, utensils etc were not very clean. We had to wash everything we used. The towels were old and the linens had a bit of a musty smell to them. The table was very sticky too. There were multiple rooms with lightbulbs out as well. I don't want to give a horrible review, because the house really was in a great spot, cute and great beach/pool access. Just needs some freshening up in our opinion.

We loved that there were three long sized beds with bathrooms. However, the floors/carpets were so dirty that our feet bottoms were black. The kitchen is small and doesn’t have a pantry. Some game options would have been nice.

Great house, pools, beach

Great large house, a few steps from East Beach, great neighborhood pools, we had a wonderful stay. You need to bring your own soap and shampoo. Also if you stay more than a few days and have a large party, you will need to provide your own trash bags and dishwasher pods, annoying at this price point.

Reserved for my family and a group of college friends, who were all in town for another college friend's wedding. The house was great and suited us well. Nice, short walk to a beautiful beach. Cold time of year, but still stunning.

Perfect for families!

This was our first family trip to the beach and this home was perfect for us. Beds were comfortable and plenty of space to escape to if needed. The kitchen could use some dishes and utensil updating - too few for the number of people but other than that we would definitely rent again. The rental company was easy to work with and quick to answer any questions. Loved our stay!!

Our stay

Having 5 bedrooms, with 3 master suites, was appreciated. It would have been nice to have a king bed on the first floor but I understand that there wasn't enough room. The 3 floors kept us separated enough in the mornings that as we gradually meandered downstairs, no one bothered others who were still sleeping. The kitchen wasn't as well stocked as we have had in other rentals but we were able to rewash dishes/pots as needed. The grandchildren enjoyed the heated pool.

As advertised. The cottage was perfect for our family. No issues with cottage. Had a great week.

Great week. Beach access boardwalk isn’t long enough to get over the marshy/swampy area. However, it is currently under construction to be lengthened. Either you walk thru ankle deep water and mud to get to the beach of you find another point of access.

Mixed review

Overall, the house was beautiful and very comfortable. There were a few minor issues, such as the doors would not stay closed, the grill had no gas in the tank, and the rooftop had no lights for use during sunset/evening. The listing was mostly accurate except for lack of Keurig and also no mention that the pools closed at dusk, which prevented both adults and teens from being able to use the pool after all of the smaller children had gone home. There was also no mention that the property absolutely hated teenagers onsite. We felt somewhat harassed during our stay with people policing our teens when they had not even done anything wrong at all. They followed our teens the very first night as they checked out the property and headed out to the ocean for their first view. They came to the cottage on two occasions to warn us about what might happen if our teens didn't follow the strict guidelines. The property manager sent emails questioning who was staying at the house, claiming they had been "counted" and exceeded the max limit, and acted as if they were breaking the law. I felt like we walked on eggshells the entire week and could not relax at all. We also heard from several other teen families onsite that they received similar messages and felt harassed as well. After having such a lovely home surrounded by loved ones, what a shame we never really could relax at our beautiful cottage. Not all teenagers run wild. If you don't want teenagers, just say so from the very beginning. Don't ruin vacations. Very disappointing.
