Long Weekend at St Simons
Our stay was terrific. It’s our 2nd time to this location and it was just as advertised. Our stay overlapped the hurricane that luckily went to the south but the owner was very flexible with check in and out to help us avoid the potential storm. Would strongly recommend if your planning a trip to East Beach.

BEST house on east beach!
This is a lovely beach cottage that is quintessential East beach st. Simons. It was the perfect spot for my family of four (with twin infants) plus grandparents in the garage guest house. Everyone was able to have their own space, with updated bathrooms and a wonderful screened porch. The house had all the essentials, including the kitchen which had more than I expect from a rental. Great side screened porch, and outdoor shower was clutch for post beach rinses. Would love to stay here again!

Perfect family beach trip
We are repeat guests, and our stay gets better each time. We can’t wait for the next visit. We enjoyed the screened in porch and living areas as well as close proximity to the beach. The layout is perfect for our group - 5 adults in the main house and 2 adults and a baby in the guest house.

East Beach stay
My wife and I and her 3 sisters and their husbands met for a get-together. We were delighted with the accommodations! It is a nice quiet neighborhood, plenty of places to sit and visit, the house is clean and has a very well stocked kitchen for cooking and serving meals. Kenyon K

Family vacation
The Beach Cottage was perfect for our week at the beach. The property was exactly as described and the suite over the garage was a great option. The beach was easy to access. We were especially impressed with the kitchen: plenty of dinnerware and cookware. Kevin was extremely helpful with check-in and answered any questions we had. He responded immediately to resolving an issue that required some maintenance. We highly recommend the cottage for future rentals. It was an excellent choice for our 3 generation family of 7.

Family beach trip
We loved this property, especially the front porch and the large screened in porch! Our kids had a ball playing foosball in the converted garage. The proximity to the beach, the village, playground, etc. was terrific. However we found that for our family, renting a golf cart was absolutely essential for hauling chairs, kids, etc to the beach.

Lovely well stocked cottage
Online pics don’t show how much room there actually is! We loved the front porch and screened porch off the kitchen. We all played ping pong and other games in the garage and appreciated the extra full size fridge for beverages. The walk to the beach isn’t bad even with the scorching hot temps. Kevin touched base with us upon check-in and when we had any questions he responded right away. Great stay!

Updated interior & great location
My family and I had a relaxing, comfortable stay. The home offers excellent amenities and a location that makes beaching and sight-seeing super easy. Kevin was highly responsive and amenable to requests we made. The apartment above the garage got a little hot, but the AC rebounded quickly with temperature adjustments.

Ready To Go Back
We have family that lives full time on SSI, and before getting to The Cottage we were fully expecting to just use it as a place to sleep. We were mistaken! We hardly left the area and family decided to visit us instead. The 6th St. beach entrance was perfect to set up "base" for the day without too many people around- even for July 4th! We did rent a Moke to help get kids and beach supplies back and forth easier. Having the garage was great for storage and its second refrigerator and freezer was huge! The house was clean, stocked, and ready upon arrival. We wish there was an outdoor shower but the garden hose worked just fine to clean off sandy legs and kids. Will be back!

welcoming East Beach cottage
This was our 4th year staying here and we enjoy it more each year. The front porch is so welcoming and the perfect place to sit with coffee or a glass of wine. The bedrooms were perfect for 3 couples, and my husband and I and our baby used the garage apartment. It was great to have quiet space for him to nap and sleep. We can’t wait to book again.

Absolutely Perfect!
The house was perfect for myself and group of friends for a girls weekend. We loved all the common areas to relax in including the screened patio and front porch. It is walking distance to the beach and the neighborhood is so beautiful. We cooked almost every meal at the house and needed nothing as the kitchen was very well stocked. The house was very clean and Kevin, the host, went above and beyond to take care of everything we needed. It was very hard to leave the beauty and peacefulness of the property and I would rent this house again in a second for future trips to St. Simons.
