In the galley style kitchen is an eating table with 4 chairs, a Keurig coffee maker, completely stocked kitchenware, microwave, toaster, refrigerator and dishwasher. A step down into the butler's pantry you will find a stackable washer/dryer.

The back family room has a large harvest table under a unique oyster shell chandelier with bench seating. This room also has a sectional sofa with a 50” TV.

Outside the family room is a generous sized gathering deck and a gas grill.

Bedroom layout:

The sleeping-side of the cottage has a built-in desk, bookshelves, guest bath, step-in shower, with glass-sliding door.

Blue Room – Primary Suite, Queen Bed 32” TV, ensuite bath with barn door entry, shower and single sink

Bunk Room – 2 single bunks, sleeps 4, 32” TV, share with hall bathroom with combo/tub shower. Note this room is designed for the kids - it's a small room with a small closet and no windows -great for sleeping but not meant to be accommodation for adults.

We're located mid-beach - halfway between the St Simons Pier Village and East Beach. This stretch of beach is not tide dependent and has plenty of walking distance in both directions. We're walking distance to local restaurant favorites like Crab Daddy's, Barrier Island Brewing, Fiddlers, and Porch.

MORE INFO
Beach Gear Included!: This home offers beach gear such as beach chairs and beach towels FREE for your use! Bikes, carts, paddleboards and more are available for rent locally, discount included. There are no fees or surcharges attached to your reservation.

Legacy Collection Home: This home is part of the Lighthouse Legacy Collection, a celebrated group of St. Simons Island's original beach cottages. Built in the 1930s and 1940s, these homes have been thoughtfully restored to preserve their historic character while offering modern comforts and preserving the architectural charm that makes them unique. What makes these cottages special are the features that can't be replicated in new construction—unique floor plans, original architectural details, cozy room proportions, and the charm that comes from decades of island history. As with any historic home, guests may notice differences from a newly built property. Rooms may be smaller, floors and walls may show the character of age, and the layout may reflect a different era of coastal living. Rather than the perfection of a new home, these cottages offer an authentic St. Simons experience filled with warmth, personality, and timeless appeal. If you appreciate history, character, and coastal nostalgia, we invite you to enjoy this special home.

Pets: This home is dog friendly with $250 pet fee, 2 dogs max. Unfortunately we can't host breeds known to insurance carriers as 'vicious', please ask if you're not sure.

No Smoking: No smoking is allowed in the home, on the porches/patios/decks, or on the property in general.

Minimum Age: Must be 25 + to book, or age 30 + on GAFL weekend (last weekend in October) For GAFL weekend (last weekend in October), guests must be age 30 + or kids with their parents, no student groups. We cannot make exceptions for that weekend.

No Events: No events or parties. No overnight guests beyond the original booking group.

This is probably our 10th time, maybe more, renting Happy Cottage and we love it! And Lighthouse Vacation Rentals is great to work with. The house is always clean and ready for our arrival. The location is perfect. And even for when the weather doesn’t cooperate, like this time, we can still throughly enjoy our time - especially bc of the amazing screened porch!
Thank you for sharing a personal photo from your trip! And thank you for this kind review!

Beautiful coastal cottage. Sentimental for me because it's in my childhood neighborhood. Peaceful and laid back "Happy" cottage. Will definitely stay again!

Happy Cottage ~ Aptly Named!

by Robin
We loved eveything about this cottage - You can walk to the beach , it has enchanting twinkling lights on the back deck, the front porch is a perfect jigsaw puzzle spot, the comfy beds, a well stocked kitchen and 2 living spaces to spread out...we will definitely be rebooking!

I liked the quick response from lighthouse staff if I had any issues. And I enjoyed staying in an historic cottage so close to the beach and village.

We were booked at a different location, but because of damage from the hurricane that just went through Ryan communicated immediately and booked us in a different location very close the first one, we so appreciate not being out a place to stay and it was an upgrade from previous location, so thank you Ryan and Alex for an amazing experience, would book with them again!!

Cutest little cottage ever! Loved the eclectic look and homey feel. Had everything we needed and very clean. Loved the back room for eating our meals on the big table and for playing games and the back yard was perfect for our fur babies. Couple things to note for future guests… do not run the microwave and oven at the same time. We blew the fuse and couldn’t find the fuse box. Sent a message and they were right on it. Also the main bedroom door sticks at the top and several times I got stuck in the bedroom and my hubby had to come let me out so just push down on the handle and the door opens up. Overall great stay. We will be back and renting from Lighthouse again. Thanks for making our vacation homey, comfy and relaxing!!

This was a short notice vacation and we were delighted we found such a wonderful property on short notice. Close to beach and pier-easy area of the island.

We all loved it & want to book it again next year!

Guest Review

by Nina
When it comes to location, you literally cannot get better than this Airbnb on the island. It's a quick walk away from the beach, and some of the best restaurants on the island. Only thing it's a little far from is the grocery store, but honestly nothing is very far on the island. The home was beautiful and spacious. Kitchen was equipped with all amenities. But my favorite aspects where the screened in front porch with the porch swing, you literally can't get more southern charm. It's the absolute best way to enjoy morning cups of coffee or afternoon beverages. The back yard was also beautiful and perfect for grilling out. The bunk beds made it perfect for a family with children.

by Lorne
Absolutely a perfect stay . Quiet and close to all activities and beach front . It’s a must stay.

This was a great spot for a week long getaway for our family of 3 during St. Simon’s quiet season. Great home with everything you need in the kitchen and a very comfortable queen bed in the primary bedroom. Super walkable to the beach and restaurants. Multiple spaces in the house to spend time together including the back deck.

Guest Review

The building we were supposed to stay in had some last minute issues. Ryan and his team were able keep open and constant communication while working us into a bigger, nicer place. They got the job done when it mattered. Thanks!

Guest Review

by Eric
Property was great! It’s not a big house, but was plenty big for two families with two kids each. The bunk beds had railings which were nice. The neighborhood is great too, we took plenty of walks and is very close to the beach. We had drinks on the back patio every night after the kids went to bed. Ryan and Alex were very responsive with any questions we had leading up to the trip. Usually responded within an hour.

Legacy Collection: This home is part of our Legacy Collection, a celebrated group of St. Simons Island's original beach cottages. Built in the 1930s and 1940s, these homes have been thoughtfully restored to preserve their historic character while offering modern comforts while preserving the architectural charm that makes them unique. What makes these cottages special are the features that can't be replicated in new construction—unique floor plans, original architectural details, cozy room proportions, and the charm that comes from decades of island history. As with any historic home, guests may notice differences from a newly built property. Rooms, closets, and bathrooms may be smaller, floors and walls may show the character of age, and the layout may reflect a different era of coastal living. Rather than the perfection of a new home, these cottages offer an authentic St. Simons experience filled with warmth, personality, and timeless appeal. If you appreciate history, character, and coastal nostalgia, we invite you to enjoy this special home.
