About this property

Historic Beach Cottage - Steps to Beach & Dining

Experience a serene escape in this beautifully restored 1928 beach cottage. Blending historic charm with modern comforts, this home features an open floor plan, a fully equipped kitchen, and a comfortable living area. The cozy bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, and the modern bathroom includes a marble shower. Relax on the screened porch with a swinging daybed or take a short, two-block walk to the beach. Located in a vibrant neighborhood, you'll be steps away from dining and shopping.

Outdoor Spaces: Adjacent to the property, a charming triangular park provides additional room for leisure and activities.

Parking: Ample off street parking available

Just two blocks from the beach, this home offers easy access to the best of St. Simons Island. Walk to nearby dining options like the Crab Trap, Echo, and Beachcomber BBQ, or explore unique shops and cafes in the charming village area. Take a bike ride through the scenic trails, visit the iconic St. Simons Lighthouse, or enjoy a round of golf at one of the many nearby golf courses. With its prime location and abundance of activities, this cottage is the perfect base for your coastal getaway.

Guest access
You'll find the front door in the screened-in porch, which overlooks a triangular green space. Ample off-street parking. The door has a keypad lock, and you'll receive a unique code for access during your stay.

Other things to note
This kitchen is well equipped with essentials like olive oil, salt, and pepper, so all you need to bring is your groceries. We like the Harris Teeter app where you can place your order ahead of time for curb-side pickup. We stock our bathrooms with the essentials; shampoo, shower gel, toilet paper and hair dryer. Laundry detergent provided. Beach chairs and umbrella provided. EV charger provided at no cost to guests.

Very nice cottage. Quiet. Screened in porch was especially lovely with swing and tv althoughwe never turned it on during our stay. Liked the beach chairs and umbrella so we didn’thave to rent. The listing did say it was a king bed but it was a queen bed. Would have liked some laundry detergent available. All in all was a very nice relaxing place to stay and would definitely recommend and stay there ourselves again! The co hosts responded quickly and when we wanted to have a later check out as our plane was leaving in the evening they were very willing to accommodate. One small thing that wasn't great was the ice machine didnt work at all and since it was hot during our stay the little ice that was in the machine ran out quickly

Long weekend stay

Very clean and cozy. Nice big kitchen and dining area. We loved the location in the middle of everything going on, but still tucked away. Very interesting decor, we enjoyed each new discovery in the space. You are quite thoughtful in how it was all brought together. We will stay again:)

Best screened in porch!

Quiet street with easy walk to beach. Amazing porch for relaxing and enjoying the weather. A little musty in the house with effect dehumidifier and air purifier. Suspected consequence of recent hurricanes. Will book again.

Spring Break

The house was perfect! Easy walk to the beach. It was even close enough for my wife to walk back and forth to the restroom. Short walk to great restaurants and not too far from downtown. The neighborhood was quiet and the back porch swing was awesome!! Wesley was great and checked in on regularly to make sure everything was okay. We would definitely try and stay here again!

St Simons Vacay

We reserved this lovely island cottage for a four day getaway. The accommodations were just as described, very clean, well stocked with nice decor. We especially liked the bed swing on the front porch. There were a few restaurants and the beach/park within walking distance. More stores and parks were a short car drive away. Our host was very accommodating and polite. Instructions on check in and directions were easily understood. We hope to return in the future.

Really nice cottage - super convenient

I shared the cottage with my husband and another couple. We were very comfortable and enjoyed being around the corner from the Crab Trap, the coffee shop, and the beach. We also walked into the main downtown area several times, which was a nice stretch of the legs. The cottage itself is super cute and clean - I loved the plants surrounding it. We hung out on the screened porch every afternoon, made breakfast in the kitchen, watched movies in the living room and overall had a really wonderful trip. Thank you!
