This renter thought of everything and I mean everything! From EVOO to all kinds of rubs for steak, different drinks....the towels smelled amazing. The pool was incredible. Even the grill was user friendly due to what they had available. We even had an evening fire with wood available. The house was close to everything and location was premier. I would stay again!!!

This was our first stay and I cannot say enough great things about the hosts and the property! The house was incredibly clean and updated, and all of the furniture and beds were extremely comfortable! The pool is amazing and even with temperatures in the mid 60s, stayed warm for us all week. Christy is an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was comfortable, and the pool was clean for us. We would definitely stay here again, the location is impossible to beat!

Paradise in SSI

We had an amazing stay! The property was the perfect balance of convenience and privacy—close to so many places, yet it still felt quiet and secluded. The house was incredibly clean and well-stocked with everything we could possibly need, and the pool was a total highlight—clean, relaxing, and perfect for unwinding. Christy was a fantastic host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Her local recommendations were spot on, and we truly can’t wait to come back again!

Calm summer get away

Quaint home in a quiet neighborhood provided a nice getaway for my family. The pool and backyard is where we spent most of our time. A short drive to the commercial district on St Simons was nice. Home was clean and the communication with the property manager was simple and timely.

This was hands down one of the best rental experiences we’ve ever had. The home was impeccably clean, beautifully furnished, and truly the most well-stocked property we’ve ever stayed in—every little detail was thoughtfully provided. From the kitchen essentials to cozy extras, we didn’t need a thing. You can tell the owners care deeply about creating a top-tier guest experience. We’re already planning our return.

Relaxing vacation house

Nicely upgraded house with a large kitchen for entertaining and big backyard for cooking out/ pool lounging. House was very clean and organized upon entry. Quiet neighborhood and the host was very helpful with preparations and any concerns. Although not specified in the listing, there are smoke detectors in the house. It was nice to be able to do laundry and dishes at the house if you’re there for an extended stay. We did miss not having toilet paper holders in the bathroom.

Thank you for your kind review. We enjoyed hosting you and hope you will return. We will take your concern about the toilet paper holders into consideration. We find they often get broken so we use baskets instead. Perhaps another option would be better. We are always happy to do our best to improve the guest experience. Thank you again Christy.

Great Getaway!

My family and I stayed at this house for over a week during our spring break and had a great time! The house was clean and had everything you could need from towels, kitchen supplies, soap etc. We loved the location and the pool! We have a two year old son who played in the pool almost the whole trip. The outdoor shower is perfect for a quick rinse when you get back from the beach and you can access it without having to go through the house. The host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with! We will definitely be staying here again and I would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation spot with a great backyard and pool!

The beach house is beautifully decorated. The backyard is beautiful with a pool and great entertaining space. The hostess was wonderful at checking in and communicated well before, during, and after the trip. You are within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. Golf courses are within 10 minutes and the airport is within 10 minutes. The neighborhood is quiet and walkable. The house has everything you need for a great week at the beach. Pack your swimsuit and clothes and enjoy a relaxing trip. Southern hospitality at its best!

Great Location!

Our family stayed at this location for two weeks to get away from the hectic schedules of daily life! The property was very clean and well kept, location was in a nice quiet area of St. Simons, and the pool was used from sunrise to sunset!! Proximity to beaches, restaurants, grocery stores and shopping are just a short golf cart ride away. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning walks through the quiet neighborhood, pool/beach midday, and the downtown area/pier at night! Kitchen was well stocked, easy to cook for our group and enjoy a fish fry with our fresh catch from our charter excursion. Bedrooms were perfect and comfy, TVs in all rooms, and the family room area was great for games, building puzzles, and spending perfect time bonding with our kiddos! Hate that we had to leave and will certainly be back!!! Christine was fantastic to work with, extremely responsive and attentive!!!

Great stay, clean, and LOVELY pool!

We LOVED our time here! The house was very clean, cozy, and well stocked with basic necessities. Every time I had a question, the communication was perfect and she was very responsive. Much appreciated! I would have liked there to be beach gear to take to the beach. I ended up renting chairs and an umbrella, and had to spend 180. We were visiting from Iowa, so we couldn't bring things with us. It would have also been nice to have more pool floaties/rafts to use. We purchased our own once we got there. I would highly recommend staying at this place, and would do so again if we return to the area. Very nice place to relax and enjoy the backyard/pool! Lots of shade in the backyard, so even on sunny, hot days, we were still able to enjoy the pool. Having a washer and dryer was super handy as well! I would have liked there to be unscented/non-toxic detergent, but that's a personal preference. Having a vacuum there was nice too so I could vacuum mid-week to keep the floors clean. Thanks again! I miss the pool already. :)

Thank you for the words of appreciation and the suggestions. We will certainly consider making some additions as you suggest. Storage and upkeep of beach and pool accessories have always been a concern. However your point is well taken. I’ll be more intentional about choosing detergent. We hope you will return. Thank you for choosing our cottage.

About the host

Hosted by Christy Jenkins

Host profile image
Our family has vacationed on Saint Simons Island for decades. We love SSI for the gorgeous outdoors, beaches, marshes, the oaks and waterways. Also SSI welcomes visitors with a slow, easy pace. As you cross the bridge the stress of everyday life slips away.

Why they chose this property

We choose the Wesley Oak neighborhood as it is minutes from everything yet feels a world away. You can bike to the beach, the village, the grocery, great restaurants and shopping. You can also enjoy a quiet cup of coffee poolside.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is designed and furnished to feel like home. Everything from the bedding to the kitchen is outfitted with comfort and convenience in mind. The pool offers a respite from the beach. Our backyard is large, shady and sodded so you can relax under the oaks.
