Family vacation

Great vacation home. Plenty of room to spread out. We had 6 adults and 5 children. Beautifully decorated. Fantastic location. 3 minute walk to the beach. Could ride bikes to restaurants. Kids and adults enjoyed the pool. Loved that the pool was mostly shaded to get a break from the sun. Very quick responses from the owner. Highly recommend.

Best Holiday Ever

Staying at this property has provided our family with rich memories. There is no other property like it with the elegant comfort of well-appointed rooms, proximity to the beach, and considerate touches with everything you could want in the kitchen, a pool, a ping pong table, bicycles, and working elevator. Watching fireworks from the rooftop deck capped off a perfect holiday.

Awesome Property!

It was so nice to stay at this property. Close to the beach and restaurants. The home was very clean and accessible with all the convenances of home, especially the kitchen which had all the utensils, pots/pans and dinnerware you need to cook your own meals, even spices! The views from the rooftop patio were super nice with a nice ocean breeze at night. The host, Paul, was very responsive and very nice to work with. Would highly recommend this property for your stay at St. Simon Island!

Awesome House

12 Friends over 65 had a super time in Saint Simons. This house is just wonderful. The rooftop deck, the ensuite bedrooms, the organization of the kitchen(a label for everything), and the beauty of the decor, and the location were just great. We have already booked another stay we enjoyed it so much!

Superior Beach Home

My family and I are repeat visitors to Floataway Cottage, a meticulously cared-for property that makes guests feel cherished with well-appointed spaces that gleam with cleanliness and reflect stylish comfort. No detail escapes the owner’s eye focused on a perfect beach vacation: a fully-stocked kitchen with ample equipment and supplies; a pool, a pingpong table, and a beach cart along with towels and chairs are only a few of the highlights of this amazing home.

Second Stay!

My extended family (grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren) first stayed at this property in June 2023 and had such a great experience we immediately booked it again for June 2024. Our most recent stay was just as great. The house is the best equipped vacation house I've stayed in, from the kitchen to the bikes and beach gear. It's impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and has everything a large family could need for an excellent trip. It's just a short (3 minute) bike ride to the beach and a smooth easy bike ride to all the island restaurants and shopping. The owner, Paul, was extremely responsive to a few questions we had on our trip. Love SSI and love this house! Will definitely book again in the future!
