"The Friendly" gas station is just down the street from us and is great for those last minute items you forgot (butter, milk, firewood and the like). Golf cart rentals are available in The Village and make the stay even more enjoyable.
We built this home with our family in mind. We hope you enjoy your stay and make it an annual tradition to come again. We entrust our home to you and ask that you take great care of it. We're glad you chose to spend your vacation time at the Blue Island Cottage.

Thank you for the great review. So glad you're experience was great!
This house is fabulous!. Very Clean, beautifully designed and decorated. Wonderful layout and the best stocked house we have ever stayed at. Everything we needed was available and available for a large group. Beds and linens were great. Plenty towels for bathing and the pool. Enjoyed the fire pit, too. Hosts were very responsive. Definitely a 5 star stay in every way.
We were on a girls trip & found the house to be comfortable, the pool & hot tub to be lovely. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out with room to spare. The kitchen & great room have lots & lots of seating. We all felt we would love to come back with our families.

We're so glad the house met your needs. We love that your group had plenty of room for your guests. We hope you will come back in the future.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful house! It was spacious enough for all 6 adults and 6 children, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The owners were very responsive and provided clear directions on everything, which made settling in a breeze. The location is great - easy access to beaches, restaurants, and ice cream spots! The pool was gorgeous and perfect for relaxing. Highly recommend for a family getaway!

Thank you for the raving review. We're glad you had a positive experience. We hope you'll come back again in the future.
The house was absolutely stunning and incredibly spacious. It was the perfect choice for our golf trip, bringing everyone together in one place instead of having us scattered across resorts. The whole group had an amazing experience. The home was spotless and exactly as advertised, which is why I can see why this listing consistently receives a perfect rating. Rick and Laura were great to communicate with—smooth and responsive from the booking process all the way through our stay. The hot tub was fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it for your next visit.

That's great! So glad you had a nice stay. We strive for it to be a positive experience. Look forward to you all returning in the future.
House is amazing, everything you needed. Pool was one of the best we gave stayed at. Loved the covered pirch and screened in porch. The kids spent alot of time on the screened in porch, it was really comfortable with the fan. Only downside to it is the full 10 minute walk to the beach with no sidewalks. Would stay there again.

So glad you had a great stay! We love the location too. Hope you'll consider staying again next time you're in St Simons Island. Thank you for the nice review.
Large space and enough bedrooms for all the adults and kids. Pool and backyard patios were awesome. Driveway was tough to get in and out of with large suvs. Very hard to turnaround and we were not able to use neighbors driveways.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the nice review.
Everything was perfect. Owners thought of everything that can help make our stay wonderful and easy. Everything was very clean and in great condition. Loved the pool!! We had 15 adults and a 1 year old. We never felt cramped in - always enough room and spaces to get away for a little quiet time. Quick trip to the beaches and downtown.We all loved our stay here.
