This house is darling and in a perfect location! It's a short walk to the beach and has lots of dining and shopping options nearby. It is also very close to parks and community ammenities. The house itself had everything we needed including lots of games and movies for the kids. The back TV room was a nice option for those who wanted a little space to watch a show, play a game, or read a book. It was bright, inviting, beautifully furnished, and we loved the art in the kids' room. All the beds were super comfy. The yard was lovely too. We very much enjoyed our visit and would definitely come again.

We truly enjoyed this home. It was beautiful and really close to everything...restaurants, beaches, and shopping. We would definitely return to this home!

We'd love for you all to come back any time! We named the cottage "Making Memories" because Jim's grandmother would always look around at the family and say, "Look at everyone making memories" and that's really what St. Simon's Island does. It helps us all make our own memories with our families. Thanks for staying with us. :-)

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer - 770-354-5835

Host profile image
We have always loved coming to St. Simons to visit family and have dreamed of owning a home here. In the spring 2010 we stumbled upon a little cottage that needed help. After months of renovations and collecting furniture we moved in! It has become a retreat from our crazy everyday lives. Jim's Grandmother, Nannie, used to look around at a family gathering and say, 'Look, we're making memories.' We hope to spend many happy years 'Making Memories' here. We hope to to share it with others as well.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the simplicity of this sweet island, the ablity to walk to the beach, ride bikes, eat wonderful seafood and just hang out.

What makes this property unique

Our little cottage is for a group that wants to spend time together. Unlike many of the larger homes on the island the Making Memories cottage has smaller cozy, yet open spaces. The oversized island and comfortable barstools allow everyone to help or just hang out in the kitchen. The open living area with it's Smart TV and lots of seating is perfect for movie watching and great conversation. A short stroll to many restaurants and the village also makes the cottage a great place to enjoy St. Simons Island.
