Incredible stay at The Contentment Cottage! House was so spacious, clean and a 2 min drive from SSI village. Our first time on the island and looking forward to our next time to stay here again! Christian was so easy to communicate with and made reservation process seamless.

Great Stay!

We booked Christian’s place very last minute for Christmas because of a late change of plans. I was a little stressed out finding a nice place so close to Christmas, and we couldn’t have been happier to come across Christian’s place. The home was very clean and comfortable, and Christian was very responsive and friendly. I would highly recommend!

Wonderful Retreat in St Simons Island

I absolutely loved my stay at this lovely home. I was traveling solo four kids and this was the perfect little home. The renovation on the place was absolutely lovely. I was a quick ride into town (either by bike or by car). The house itself was super well stocked with games and toys for the kids, plenty of kitchen supplies and some super soft beach towels. They even had a cooler there if you needed one for the beach. I can't wait to come back!

Winter getaway

This cottage is a very attractive and comfortably clean place to stay. It has very recent renovations which make the house appear brand new. Beds are comfortable. The kitchen was very nice but the “blender” is a hand held mixer which didn’t work for us. There were no sauce pans but only sauté/frying pans and a large soup pot or maybe lobster pot.Toilet paper, paper towels, kitchen trash liners were in short supply for our two week stay. My understanding for those things in the list of essentials/amenities means those things should be supplied for the entire stay . There was only one hair dryer and , perhaps, should be one for each of the two bathrooms. There should be more details on the use of the televisions especially if the guests are not familiar with ROKU or doesn’t have a pin# for accessing ROKU. None of these critiques are deal killers but would clarify what is listed in the essentials/amenities. All in all, we would stay here again, as I said before none of the issues would be a “deal breaker”!

Clean, Comfortable, Exceptional

We will be back! My partner and 3 kids had an excellent stay for 5 days in Aug. 2025. The home was impeccably clean which is always number one on my list. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and the ice machine made plentiful ice for our hot, hot week. The beds were comfortable and the primary bedroom, bathroom, and walk in closet is huge!The attention to detail - bright and plentiful lighting, cards and other games, and comfy outside furniture -- was exceptional. The included beach towels were much appreciated and saved us packing space! Close to the beach, restaurants, Neptune pool -- We rented a golf cart and easily and quickly navigated around town.Thanks for the stay and the memories we were able to make.

The cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed in. Took my family of four (ages 1-9) and it was very family friendly. No stairs to fight with, toys and books for kids on site. Big open space and nice backyard for kids to play. A great central location to enjoy SSI, nice neighborhood to take a walk in. The owner was gracious and checked on us before and after check in. Very easy to communicate with and extra helpful. We will stay again.

First time for everything

My wife and I have been come down here with our own families for over 20 years and we met and got married and this is our first time in SSI with each other and our soon to be daughter. This house was very accommodating to us and our friends/family. Christian was great and we can’t wait to be back next year with a new addition!

We’ve been coming to St Simons for years and this is by far the nicest place we’ve stayed in and the best location. The home has been remodeled and is like new. We brought our golf car and were able to get to the Village in 5 minutes driving on quite neighborhood roads. We definitely plan to stay again.
