About this property
Moon Dance Cottage – Family Retreat | Private Heated Pool | 1 Mile to Beach & Village
Welcome to Moon Dance Cottage, a charming St. Simons Island retreat tucked away on one of the island's peaceful, sought-after residential streets. Now featuring a brand-new private heated pool, this inviting coastal cottage gives families the perfect place to relax, reconnect, and enjoy the best of island life.
With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two separate living areas, and accommodations for up to eight guests, Moon Dance Cottage offers plenty of room to gather together while still giving everyone space to unwind.
Why You'll Love Moon Dance Cottage:
Brand-new private heated pool Sleeps 8 | 3 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms Two king bedrooms Fun bunk room for kids Two separate living areas Quiet, private residential setting Golf-cart-friendly neighborhood 1 mile to the beach and Pier Village $40/night beach gear credit on qualifying stays Parking for 3 vehicles
Step inside to a bright, open floor plan filled with natural light and comfortable coastal touches. The spacious main living area is perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach, while the fully equipped kitchen makes everything from morning coffee to family dinners easy. The generous dining area provides plenty of room for shared meals, game nights, and time together.
A second living area gives kids—or anyone looking for a little extra space—their own place to watch a movie, play games, or relax away from the main gathering area. Outside, the new private pool is the star of the show. Start the morning with a refreshing swim, spend the afternoon relaxing poolside, or take an evening dip after a day exploring the island. Tucked into the private backyard, the pool creates a relaxing retreat where you can enjoy the slower pace of island life without ever leaving home.
When it's time to recharge, Moon Dance Cottage comfortably accommodates up to eight guests with two king bedrooms and a cheerful bunk room, making the layout especially well suited for families or two couples traveling with children. Two laundry areas add extra convenience for keeping swimsuits, beach towels, and vacation essentials fresh throughout your stay.
The location makes it easy to experience everything that makes St. Simons Island special. Bike or golf cart to nearby beaches, head into Pier Village for shopping and dining, or visit island favorites including Neptune Park and the St. Simons Lighthouse. The quiet, golf-cart-friendly neighborhood gives you a peaceful place to return to while keeping the best of the island within easy reach.
Spend your mornings at the beach, afternoons by your private pool, and evenings biking into the Village or relaxing on the front porch. Moon Dance Cottage brings together the space, location, and laid-back coastal lifestyle that make a St. Simons Island vacation so memorable.

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are so glad Moon Dance Cottage was very clean and fresh and that you enjoyed the pool during your stay.
Thank you again for choosing Lilmar Vacations. We would love to welcome you back.
Susan @ Lilmar Vacations
The property was exactly as listed. It was well maintained, clean, everything worked, and they had items provided to you such as laundry pods and soaps. It was in a good location close to town and things to do (beach). We will definitely be recommending. The only thing I would recommend is they have a cute room with bunk beds for kids I would recommend getting a 50 dollar pack and play from Walmart for families with babies.

Thank you so much, Kiefer, for your thoughtful review. We are so glad the home was exactly as expected and that you found it clean, well maintained, well stocked, and conveniently located for enjoying St. Simons.
We also appreciate your suggestion regarding a pack and play. Because guest safety is very important to us, we do not keep baby gear in our homes, but we do offer an optional concierge service through Epicurate where guests can arrange rentals for items such as pack and plays and other baby equipment.
Thank you again for choosing Lilmar Vacations and for your recommendation. We would love to welcome you back.

Great clean cottage with good amount of space. Only issue is the listing mentions “community pool available” which is not quite accurate. When I zoomed on the picture it looked like there was a community pool 1 house over however there was not. The pool “option” is at the park near the pier & wasn’t clear in the description. House is great & highly recommend but don’t expect a private pool nearby

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Moon Dance Cottage. We are so glad you enjoyed the home and found it clean and spacious - such a great spot for relaxing on the island. We appreciate your note about the pool and understand how the listing could have caused some confusion. We do our best to clarify that the community pool is located at Neptune Park near the Pier Village, and we will take another look to ensure that remains as clear as possible. It was a pleasure hosting you all and and we would love to welcome you back to St. Simons anytime.
