THE SPACE
This cottage has lots of character! Original wood work, hardwood floors and close proximity to the beach. With its own bedroom, Kitchen and Full Bath, outdoor patio, this cottage is private and perfect for a secluded get away.

This convenient cottage is close to everything near the beach and pier/village where you will enjoy local shops and restaurants which feature some of the finest Georgia seafood!

The interior offers a very comfy and open living room, separate bedroom, open to a kitchen and full bath.

In years gone by, families came to St. Simons to the beach and stayed in simple cottages... in beach towns where porch-sitting and strolling were activities at least as important as swimming and sunbathing. It is the luxury of simplicity. The comfortable elegance of cotton sundresses and sun-bleached straw hats... screened porches and white picket fences... the taste of crabs caught at the ocean's edge...this is the Seaside style that you have been searching to find.

Bedroom Layout
Queen Bed in bedroom nook connects to living room open to kitchen and bath.

Located on the south end of the Island, St. Simons Pier Village district serves as the downtown social hub and is a popular destination for shopping, dining and gathering on the pier and nearby lighthouse, playground and picnic areas. Overlooking the ocean and Jekyll Island across the way, you'll find the St. Simons Lighthouse and Museum, Neptune Park with its ocean side pool and facilities, playground, miniature golf course, and an oak shaded picnic area, fishing pier, public library and theater.

Good area and location but not worth it

Pictures look a lot nicer than reality. It is a glorified shed. Is not put together well. Good location to beach and easy access. There was no water hose or spigot to wash sand off at the door. Had to walk into the other property next door to get the hose to bring around to our door. Another problem was there was no nozzle for the hose. Each time you used the hose you had to walk around to turn on and off, which defeated the purpose of a hose at the door. Took a day and a half to get a nozzle. Main issue we had was a squirrel living just above the bed, which liked to be up between 2-6am. Property manager didn’t seem to care. We left a day early because of it.

Cozy little hideaway

Shares a lot with the main house, however there's enough vegetation in between the two buildings that you still have ample privacy. It's within easy walking distance of the pier and The Crab Trap. Beach access is right across the street. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and perfect for the two of us. The only real negative is that the wifi was unreliable and slow, however we didn't come to the beach for the internet so it doesn't warrant subtracting from our overall rating. It's worth considering for anyone who comes here for a working vacation, though.

Our Stay

It was what I expected. Which is a good thing. I cook a great deal so the kitchen was not perfect but that was not the fault of the kitchen in this unit. Must say I loved the little toaster oven. We did go out to eat and only would take a table outside. It was hit or miss on mask wearing. I have a general understanding of this areas take on mask wearing but I was a bit disappointed in a few of the local businesses. But on the flip side others were just fine. We both have been vaccinated so that made it a bit easier to be around people that didn't wear masks when inside. I did my best to avoid them. Will we be back? The answer is no. We certainly enjoyed our week but we just want to explore other places.

Cozy Place & Great Location*

Clean Place, Great Location, and easy Check-In! The only issue that we had was the internet access in the house was great for the TV but the Wi-FI was either non-existent or very slow. But thanks to Ali at the Property Management Co we received an iPhone hot spot to link to the internet. Not at the speed that we would expect at a nice VRBO property but adequate. We would definitely stay here again if these inconveniences were fixed. Again great place, location, and very clean!

Cottage stay

The cottage is very cozy. Decorated in a French Provincial style. The kitchen is all brand new with stainless appliances. The induction stove works great and, although, the oven is a countertop, it has the latest technology and is very versatile. There is a table in the kitchen but not really purposeful for breakfast as the space doesn't allow for chairs. The cottage doesn't have any tabletops for dining so perhaps a collapsible bench under the loveseat would be a thought (if such a thing exists!!). There are so many great restaurants that it's not really an issue. The pictures you see online make the main room look a little deeper than it really is and, as long as you are prepared to be close to one another and mindful if there are different sleeping schedules, it wasn't an issue. The bed is so comfy. The walls have been redone with light wide wood planking which adds brightness. The screened-in porch is furnished with rod iron and deep cushions. I might suggest a narrow side table by the porch chair and a small corner table in that space as well. The closet is large and it would be a good idea to add some decorative hooks for miscellaneous items. There is a school right next door and the children play outside as well as in an after school program. I like the sound of children laughing so we kind of enjoyed it. All and all it's a true cottage stay. Being in the travel profession, I've experienced a lot of different settings. The beach access is literally across the street. It has a unique carriage house feel. St Simons is such a fabulous island and this arrangement fits right in.

unwanted friends

The house had something living in the walls and roof. We messaged the contact person and was informed the property is under pest management. However, nothing was done about the pest living and very active in the walls and roof. We didn't get much sleep due to the activity. The fire alarm batteries went off several times as well and the door knob to the bathroom wouldn't stay on. I need a vacation from my vacation now.

Charming, cozy, steps to the beach, perfect!!

Absolutely adorable decor bordering between cozy vintage and beachy executive. Quiet location less than 2 minutes to public beach access and a ten minute walk to the edge of the Village. Very comfortable suite with a screened in porch for enjoying the ocean breezes, an ample closet and kitchenette, plus very comfortable bedding and a smart TV for ensuring Netflix and chill can keep going even at the beach. No complaints about the cottage whatsoever - just wish the neighbors in the unit in front of us would park in the obvious parking area by their unit and not the actual driveway (making it nearly impossible to drive in and out)! 😂 Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
