About this property

Pet friendly Cottage with fenced yard!

For those looking for a more private setting this property is perfect for a couple or small family. This cute classic 'naval' cottage, constructed for naval airmen stationed on the island during the second world war, is charming from the front yard to the original hardwood floors awaiting your steps inside.
Two cozy, quiet bedrooms perfect for a sound island's sleep, and two distinct living areas for those preferring to staying up. These areas include a main living room, comfortably furnished, splashing oceanic colors and island styles, and an additional living area with 2 recliners, large desk area and an additional TV. The perfect vacation 'workspace'
So, if you have to work while staying on the Island, you have an office space separate from others.

The master is comfortably furnished with a plush queen bed. The guest room has two newer twin beds. The bath has been totally updated with all tile and beaded board, and ample storage for all your bath linens and toiletries.

The large deck, overlooking the enormous, fenced-in backyard, provides a great spot for outdoor dining, enjoying morning coffee or lounging around with afternoon cocktails. Your furry pets will love the ability to run free! A charcoal grill is provided.
The quaint kitchen has dishwasher plus all the basic necessities. Gas Stove. Many upgrades in 2021. The eat-in dining nook provides comfortable seating for 4-6 with built in bench seats.

This is an ideal cottage for pets small and large.

Laundry room with full washer/dryer is located off the deck. All that is missing is the ocean. There is beach within a mile which is tide contingent meaning no beach at high tide. The better beaches are within 2 miles so you probably want to drive or take bikes. There are county restrictions about dogs on the beach so you want to be familiar with these. No dogs not on a leash between Memorial day and Labor Day.

As the owner I do my best to ensure home is comfortable and inviting. You will find a supply of many basic items such as soap, TP, paper towels, dish detergent and laundry detergent. You will have enough coffee for at least the first few nights. I live locally and am in the home before every guest.

Please note that all TV's are smart TV's so you have access to all your streaming services. I have Hulu Live set up to provide you with "live" TV. I do not provide traditional cable services.

It was everything that it said it would be, we took our senior dog and she loved it. There are so many beaches to choose from, we rented beach cruisers for 3 days, and rode everywhere. The property was pristine, and the property manager was lovely we couldn't find the laundry detergent so i messaged her and she dropped off the next morning very sweet lady. I would recommend this to everyone. The only thing That i would say is. The master bed was really high so we couldn't sleep all of us together in fear of our senior dog falling off the bed. The twin beds worked but it was only us 3, so if your coming with others be prepared. The grounds were beautiful. We loved hanging outside and she even had special spray out for mosquitoes. Love love love. Will definitely go back. Thanks so much

Island getaway

Amazing hostess, super communicative and kind! The home was so cozy, perfect for a beach stay! Backyard/porch was a wonderful hangout area, perfect for the pup to roam around.

Beautiful Cottage

This little cottage was perfect for me, my husband and our little chiweenie! Its location is perfect. We were able to walk to breakfast at the village and my dog loved the fenced in yard. The cottage was fully stocked and the living room furniture was very comfortable! Would love to return someday!

An Escape from Florida

During our escape from a hurricane in Florida, this cottage was a lifesaver, perfectly salvaging our beach vacation week. It offered a cozy, family-friendly environment for our young kids and small dog. The fenced backyard was a plus. Proximity to local parks, beaches, and restaurants kept the kids entertained -- and fed. The accommodating host and her excellent communication made our stay even more comfortable. Highly recommend this charming cottage for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Cute pet friendly cottage in a great location

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It's nicely decorated and is exactly as shown on pictures. The fenced in backyard is a big bonus if you come with a pet, our dog loved exploring it. The location is very convenient, walk to the village and pier! We drove to the beach which is only few minutes with ample parking. The cottage is also within easy access to the main SSI road, so quick trips to sites like the Fort or Jekyll island are very easy to take.

Cozy, comfy cottage and an Amazing host

I had to cut my stay here short unfortunately due to a personal matter back home but Mellette was compassionate, accommodating and understanding of my change in plans. The time I did spend at this wonderful home was restful, relaxing and comfortable. Mellette goes above and beyond in welcoming her home and provides many welcoming touches to enhance the experience. It was the perfect home away from home for my dogs and me for our short time there. I hope to return one day!

Excellent stay

This house is a perfect gem. The fully fenced and very private back yard is excellent for those traveling with dogs. The location is very quiet with very friendly neighbors. There are a few other rentals on the street but most neighbors are local residents. Comfortable queen bedroom with good lighting, plenty of storage. Separate office was very convenient for working and staying away from noise. Kitchen is better stocked than most houses I've stayed in - even good knives and glass storage containers! House is close to grocery shopping and not far from the beach. Overall a great stay!

Cozy and charming retreat convenient to everything

We've been coming to Saint Simons every year for close to 10 years now and we agreed that this place has been our favorite place we've stayed. This home is so charming with it's original hardwoods from the days that the WW2 airmen built the place. It has all the modern amenities we all love today though. TV in every room with live streaming, a full size washer and dryer, and a nice office area for those who need to get a little work done while away from home. The backyard is huge and fully enclosed which made it so easy with our pups. That was one reason we picked this place and it made all the difference. It was convenient for a nice mile walk to the village and close to that distance to the beach too. I went for a nice walk every morning and it was glorious. The neighborhood is mostly quiet and easy going. There's a little noise from jets taking off at the airport but it wasn't too noticable. We enjoyed the outdoor deck and our dogs loved all the nice landscaping with plenty of things to sniff and explore. The kitchen and living rooms were comfortable and fully furnished with everything we needed. We were a 4 minute drive from Winn Dixie and could easily swing by for staples like coffee and bottled water. One nice surprise is that there was a 5 gallon jug of purified water with a dispenser which was nice (call me a snob but I can't get used to the coastal sulfury water taste). The good water was an extra we hadn't expected! We plan to stay here again next year Lord willing!

We have been coming to Saint Simons for several years and this by far was our most favorite house we have rented. Super cute, clean, inviting and had everything you needed. We had two dogs and the fenced in yard was amazing. Our dogs loved the big yard and the freedom to run and play. The back deck is nice. We sat out and ate all our meals there every single day. a lot of attention to detail in this home. The back bathroom off the back of the house is a wonderful addition. Host was amazing to deal with very friendly very pleasant. We definitely will come back to this home from here on out.

About the host

Hosted by Mellette

Host profile image
I am so blessed that I have lived and work on St. Simons Island since 1986. I try not to take the beauty of the Island for granted and appreciate my surroundings everyday. I actually work in property management but this little jewel of a home is my pride and joy. I live within a mile of the house and personally enjoy all this area has to offer from walking to the Village for lunch or dinner, meeting friends at Palm Coast for cocktails and live music or just enjoying the sunset from the pier. I hope you find the Island as charming and wonderful as I have found it to be.

Why they chose this property

I am not a condo lover. I enjoy the privacy of a home and puttering around the yard or sitting on my private deck space. Being in property management I understand the limited properties available with a fenced in yard for your furry family members. I hope my little home provides a venue for visitors to enjoy all the Island has to offer without having to leave any family members at home.

What makes this property unique

Just a short walk or a bike away from some of the island's best dining, shopping, and sightseeing. If the Village is the heart of the island, then this jewel at 506 Ashantilly is certainly the gleam in its eye.
