This cozy cottage has it all. Near the village and the beach. Sunrise on the beach was amazing! Restaurants and shopping are all within a short distance and some are within a 10 minute walk. Don't forget to climb the lighthouse for an unforgettable view. Cottage has everything needed for a quick getaway or an extended stay. Will definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, girls getaway, age 55+.

We had a wonderful family vacation in quaint St. Simons. Four Oaks cottage was a perfect place for us to feel right at home for the week. It has a great layout and our 5 year old loved the bunk beds! A great rental and our little dog loved it too! We walked to the beach everyday and the village is within walking distance too. It was quiet, clean and a great place to stay.Recommended for: Families with young children, pet owners, age 55+.

The location and ambiance of Four Oaks were ideal for our vacation for our family of four women. The photos show how appealing each room is. What they can't show is how warm & cozy it is as a whole, and how well the floor plan facilitates both togetherness &/or privacy depending on how it is used. We would definitely recommend this also for the ease of working with the owner and for the excellent condition she maintains it in. As for St. Simons itself, we particularly enjoyed the Nautical and the Lighthouse Museums, and the local pet ferret who gets walked downtown on a leash once a day by his owner. We'll be back!Recommended for: People with disabilities, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, age 55+.

Comfortable and relaxing true beach cottage. A short walk to my favorite beach on St. Simons and less than a mile to the Village, we walked to dinner via the beach at low tide and back to the cottage under the oaks on Ocean Boulevard. The rental process is simple and the cottage is perfect for a low key couples vacation. Highly recommend breakfast at Mallery Street Cafe and sunset at the pier - it is becoming as famous as the Key West sunset! We'll be returning to Four Oaks Cottage.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+.

Four oaks is a charming get away full of authenticity and real beach cottage feel. Our family of four had plenty of room for relaxing and sleeping as well as nice family meals around the big table. The kitchen is very well equipped and we felt at home right away. We were just a short stroll to the beach and the village. We would absolutely rent again.Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Spent the month of January 2012 at Four Oaks Cottage. We spent a long weekend there last year and loved it so much we went back for the month. We loved the cottage feel to it immediately. Hardwood floors, lots of windows added to the ambiance. Cottage was only a block and a half from ocean, we enjoyed walking the beach and the great neighborhood. It was a great change from the snow in New York state! Kitchen was well stocked (I love to cook), lots of books to read on the shelves. Owner was very nice.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, pet owners, age 55+.

My cousin, who lives in Canton GA, introduced me to Saint Simon's last spring I was so taken by the Island that I convinced my husband that we should take a break from the long Massachusetts winter and plan a getaway for this spring. So we rented 4 Oaks Cottage. It was even more charming than the photos. We lacked for nothing. Within a few hours, it felt like home. There were so many little touches that made it unique....a shell collection and a book about shells, decorative birdhouses over the kitchen cupboards, wicker furniture. My husband declared it "The best house we have ever rented." We spent our late afternoons in the adirondak chairs out front under the oaks. A great way to end a lazy day on the beach. We rented bikes for the week and rode them into the village for breakfast and dinner, but the cottage is so conveniently located that we could have walked to town too. And the beach was just one street over. We spent most of our time on the beach or bike riding. My husband golfed at Sea Pines, and also enjoyed fishing from the pier while I browsed all the wonderful shops in the village. Christ Church and Fort Frederica should not be missed. One day we drove to Jeckyll Island to see Driftwood Beach....a must see. As far as food goes, we would recommend Crab Daddy's, Iguanas and the she crab soup at Barbara Jeans The breakfast buffet at Sand Castles is excellent, too. If you get a chance, get some native shrimp and boil them up. So good! We would definitely recommend 4 Oaks to our friends....even though it's tempting to keep this little treasure to ourselves. We will be back.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+.

"We came down from Atlanta/Macon with our new 8 week old granddaughter, June Elizabeth, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your wonderful little cottage! The weather was wonderful and the water was gorgeous. This is truly a "special place" for family and friends. Will recommend your house to family and friends."

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1998
About the owner: I immediately fell in love with my cottage and the live oaks it's nestled under - I always loved the beach, but having both trees and the water, as well as the history in the area, this was the perfect place. There is so much to do on the island and the surrounding coastal area. I love the fact that the pier/village is so close and to be able to walk to the water anytime is wonderful. It's amazing when there is a full moon shining on the water. I have my favorite restaurants and coffee shop where I always run into someone I know or will know better soon.
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes:
I had been visiting St Simons since the early 80's and fell in love with my cottage at first sight. Didn't even look at any other properties. I was riding my bike with my niece and nephew from our base at the Sea Gate Inn and there it was, nestled under these beautiful huge live oaks. I am always working on making it better each year.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
Being able to walk to the beach anytime is great. Having the tide roll in and out adds such interest. I enjoy riding my bike, sitting under the oaks, walking my dog and visiting with friends and neighbors. I go to my favorite restaurants in the village, including hanging out at the neighborhood coffee shop/wine bar. I just enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and the beauty of the coast.
