Barron’s named Sea Island #1 on their list of “Best Places for a Second Home'. While its beauty and range of lifestyles and luxury, as well as its status as a “power alley” of influential residents, were noted, Sea Island was rated highest for its value. Outside magazine’s Adventure Advisor chose St. Simons Island as a “Best Fall Beach Escape” because our sandy beaches are largely employ in the off season while temperatures are sill in the 70s, and fishing, surfing, and biking are all possible. National Geographic Traveler included the Georgia Sea Islands, as its “99 Top Rated Places”. Speaking of golf, this is the perfect base for attending the PGA’s McGladrey Classic golf tournament held at Sea Island's fabled Seaside golf course.

We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this beautiful property. Ryan was an exceptional host, offering excellent communication and constant availability throughout our trip. The house itself is filled with natural light from beautiful windows, showcasing an incredible marsh view while remaining incredibly close to the beach club. It was spotlessly clean and perfectly equipped with everything we needed, including a very well-stocked kitchen. We also greatly appreciated the comfortable beds, pillows, and quality towels that made our stay so relaxing.

We had a great stay at this Sea Island cottage. We were also able to have guest passes to the resort, which made staying in the cottage an excellent option with all of the activities. The home is very spacious and the layout would fit multiple families even though it was just us. The host was very communicative and helpful throughout our planning and our stay. I also appreciated the home being stocked with many essentials. Definitely considering for our trip next year.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Saunders

Host profile image
Ryan, our manager, grew up on St. Simons Island and from a young age started to help managing vacation properties for his parents and is now apart of managing Cottage 183. He knows the properties like the back of his hand and will make sure that you feel right at home during your stay. If you are missing a plate or need help getting an appliance to work, don't hesitate to give him a call.

Why they chose this property

This spectacular property is located directly on the marsh with a beautiful tidal pond. It has expansive views of the salt marshes of Sea Island and is a short walk to the beach. What really makes this house stand out is its size! It is over 5400 square feet and has a huge entertainment wing complete with a large flat screen tv as well as a pool table & ping pong table! It is large enough for most family gatherings or a casual weekend away from reality!

With five bedrooms and two kitchens it really is a unique property that I promise you will quickly fall in love with.


What makes this property unique

Cottage 183 has incredible views and has tons of room for you and your family/friends. Imagine yourself sitting out on the patio with your favorite beverage and watching the sunset over the beautiful salt marsh--you will not be disappointed!
