We're located mid-beach - halfway between the St Simons Pier Village and East Beach. This stretch of beach is not tide dependent and has plenty of walking distance in both directions. We're walking distance to local restaurant favorites like Crab Daddy's, Barrier Island Brewing, Fiddlers, and Porch.
MORE INFO Beach Gear Included!: This home offers beach gear such as beach chairs and beach towels FREE for your use! Bikes, carts, paddleboards and more are available for rent locally, discount included. There are no fees or surcharges attached to your reservation.
Legacy Collection Home: This home is part of the Lighthouse Legacy Collection, a celebrated group of St. Simons Island's original beach cottages. Built in the 1930s and 1940s, these homes have been thoughtfully restored to preserve their historic character while offering modern comforts and preserving the architectural charm that makes them unique. What makes these cottages special are the features that can't be replicated in new construction—unique floor plans, original architectural details, cozy room proportions, and the charm that comes from decades of island history. As with any historic home, guests may notice differences from a newly built property. Rooms may be smaller, floors and walls may show the character of age, and the layout may reflect a different era of coastal living. Rather than the perfection of a new home, these cottages offer an authentic St. Simons experience filled with warmth, personality, and timeless appeal. If you appreciate history, character, and coastal nostalgia, we invite you to enjoy this special home.
Pets: This is not a pet friendly home.
No Smoking: No smoking is allowed in the home, on the porches/patios/decks, or on the property in general.
Minimum Age: Must be 25 + to book, or age 30 + on GAFL weekend (last weekend in October) For GAFL weekend (last weekend in October), guests must be age 30 + or kids with their parents, no student groups. We cannot make exceptions for that weekend.
No Events: No events or parties. No overnight guests beyond the original booking group.

The house was even better than the pictures and the pool was great for our family. It was a beautiful house and a great location. I would definitely book there again.

Dear Jay, thank you so much for your kind review. I am happy to hear that you had a great stay and that you enjoyed the pool and the location. We would love to have you back again soon! Best, Ryan.
This house was amazing. The title of the property calls it a cottage, but there was a lot of space for everyone. The house was beautifully decorated and renovated. The bathrooms and the showers were great. And the pool was absolutely amazing!

What a cute house ! Plenty of space for the adults and college kids . Pool was great! I can’t say anything bad about this house ! Perfect location , so cute inside ; had all the amenities . We will rent again , no doubt !
We enjoyed our stay and will be booking again next year. The bedroom next to the pool is a lot warmer than the rest of the house, so we were unable to use that bedroom
