Great house to host our kids first trip to the beach! We had a blast and with such easy beach access our stay was made even better!

Perfect, clean and plenty of room!!

by Leigh
We really enjoyed staying in this old house!! It was perfect for our group and had all the charm of an older home. We were very disappointed in not getting to bring our pet, but overall satisfied with the experience.

Great Location with Ample Space

by Susan
We loved the location and there was so much space for everyone! Ample bedrooms, bathrooms, indoor and outdoor space. Such a great house!

Guest Review

by Mike
The house was great for our family get together with adults and children. The beach was a close by. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils to cook and feed our entire family. The back porch was a great place to hangout and chat with a cocktail while the sun set.

Chilling at the Cottage

by Suzanne
What an awesome place to meet with longtime friends. The cottage was so cute and nicely decorated with plenty of room for everyone. It is walking distance to the Homefront Museum and The Prince and King resort. Lots of restaurants were also nearby. We highly recommend it!

Guest Review

by Valarie
You are my sunshine was the perfect place for our family to stay. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kids loved having their own space upstairs. The location was great and the house was beautiful and had many unique features. The short walk to the beach was nice. Lots of nice shops and restaurants close by. Would definitely stay here again if in St. Simons Island again.

Guest Review

by Hart
Fantastic location with only a short walk to the beach. The public beach access path adjoins the property so it is a very easy walk. Even better, the public beach access there seemed little used other than people staying in the houses near it.

Guest Review

by Trisha
This was a little slice of Heaven right by the beach access. It was the perfect amount of rooms for our family with a whole upper floor that was perfect for the kids. We needed a few simple things taken care of and not only did we get a quick response but also fast action. Easy access in and out. We really appreciated the east flow of the week. Would stay again in a heart beat

Family time

by Jane
We loved the cozy house that had great bedroom arrangement with bathrooms close by. The front and back porches were very enjoyable and well furnished. The internet was a little slow but understandable with so many using it. The only down side of the house was the kitchen having water bugs and some of the pans and dishes were put away dirty. We had a very comfortable stay and would stay there again for our family reunion.

Guest Review

by Erin
We came for our first family vacation in years. It was a blast! The provided beach chairs and wagon were helpful. The house was everything that was promised. We grilled and cooked a ton at the house and had everything we needed to make and enjoy great meals. Fantastic coffee pot too! The beach was a short walk (we rented tents and chairs from a local company and that was clutch, highly suggest). Kids had a blast chasing lizards all over the yard and porches. We loved coffee and cocktails on the back porch every day. Beds were cozy, linens were clean. Anytime we needed anything the rental company was incredibly responsive.

Guest Review

by Carolyn
This property was everything we wanted. A true beach vibe close to the ocean. The decor was charming. The bedrooms were comfortable. The bathrooms were updated. The kitchen was great. The porch!! It exceeded my expectations. We had a fabulous time.

Guest Review

by Tina
The house was charming inside and out!! The sleeping accommodations were extremely comfortable for the 11 of us! The entire house was very clean and there was plenty of room for dining and lounging both. The kitchen was great for cooking and had everything we needed to make all of our meals. The beach is a short walk, but right off the backyard – very convenient and safe beach access. Ryan/Alex were very responsive and helpful! We would stay here again!

Guest Review

by Stuart
Great house in a nice peaceful setting with lots of open area in the back and a short walk to the beach. The East Beach neighborhood is a really nice area. The house has plenty of space and beds for our two families and we loved the layout. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here

Guest Review

by Arturo
La estadía en la casa fue espectacular. Muy bien ubicada, muy cerca de la playa, con sillas para sentarse en el corredor de la casa. Simplemente una gran experiencia.

Sunshine and sand

by Rhita
Property was great. Any hiccups (only a couple) we're quickly taken care of. Can't wait for next year! Location terrific!

Nice stay!

by Valerie
The home was spacious, yet cozy. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out. The home was well stocked with cooking utensils, dishes, blankets, towels, etc. This was our first trip to SSI and I did not realize that golf carts are rideable almost everywhere. My son in law rented one and it came in very handy and made the trip even more fun. The walk to the beach was not bad as long as it was not the hottest part of the day. However , the golf cart made it a breeze!

Comfortable house for 10 people

by Candy
This house was perfect for our family. The grandkids had their own space upstairs and there were enough bedrooms for the rest of us. Plenty of space and great arrangement. Enough bathrooms and plenty of towels. A very comfortable house! The kitchen was well equipped for 10 people - large pans and lots of cooking tools. The table was large enough to accommodate all 10 of us. The location was great. Short walk to beach. We really appreciated the outside shower so we didn't track sand into the house. The beach cart was very handy. The arrival and departure instructions were excellent. We'd love to return next year!

Great week with family

by Hardman
Breach house is very comfortable and brought back great memoires of beach trips from many years ago.

Online Review

by Allison
House is wonderful. The rooms are great size and the kitchen was well stocked. The area is great with amazing views. Definitely recommend renting golf cart to get to beach. Would love to stay here again.

Online Review

by Jennifer
Great spacious & comfortable beach cottage, great for family & friends! Easy 5 minute walk down to the beach. Quick drive to shops and restaurants. House has plenty of books to grab for a quick read. If you are into playing games or puzzles in the evening, sadly doesn't have any, so bring your own. Would definitely go back! Thanks!!!

Family Christmas Vacation

by Jennifer
We had a nice family Christmas vacation in St Simons. The home was good for our group with inside and outside space to spread out. The weather was cold and the property manager was kind to bring more blankets at our request. The house was probably a quarter mile walk down a path to the beach. We would stay here again.
