THE SPACE
Bedroom 1 – King, TV (sleeps 2)

Bathroom 1 – Shared Hall bathroom with Shower

Bedroom 2 – King, TV (sleeps 2)

Outdoor shower to rinse of the sandy toes from the beach.

Step outside to your peaceful backyard with a gas grill—a quiet oasis perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening conversations under the stars.

And the location? Simply perfect. Nestled between the Village and the Myrtle Street Beach entrance, you're just a short .03-mile stroll from the sand. The beach is practically your backyard, too. And don't miss the screened-in front porch, complete with a classic swing. There is no better spot to sway gently in the breeze, listen to the birds, and let the worries of the day drift away.

Whether you're here to soak up the sun, explore the island's shops and restaurants, or simply unwind in a place that feels like home, Old Bay Cottage welcomes you with open arms.

Come relax. Come recharge. Come make memories at Old Bay Cottage.

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.
