Here, a charming dining area invites you to savor meals al fresco, while ample space allows for relaxed cocktail hours, blissful naps, or indulging in a good book inspired by the nearby beach.

Great little spot. Right in the middle of just about everything. We rented bikes and you could bike to all the major spots in 10 min or less. House was clean and as advertised. Pool was nice and warm. Privacy could be a concern if traveling with friends. Just keep that in mind. Inside was quaint but nowhere really to escape if you needed to have a little privacy. No complaints. We enjoyed it very much

We had the greatest time at the Bead Cottage! The check in and out process was extremely easy, the neighborhood and proximity to the beach was great (we used the 9th street beach access boardwalk), and you can’t beat the private pool and screen porch! The neighborhood is so quiet and calm and it was the perfect spot to relax. The cottage is so centrally located that it was so easy to pop over to Savannah and drive over to North or South beach. We had the best stay and we hope to return soon!
