Charming cottage within a short walk from Pier Village and beaches. This was an excellent base for a week of exploring SSI. Would return and recommend. Melanie was a kind and responsive host. 10/10!!!
Property was very clean and comfortable for two in a quiet neighborhood. We loved the ocean view! Location was very convenient and an easy walk to restaurants and shops in the Village. Host communication was excellent.
We really had a great stay . Our host Melanie was very helpful. I don’t think we could’ve picked a better place for our anniversary weekend. We will definitely be back
Our trip focused on food and sites in and around the village. This property’s location was awesome, short walk to the village. Great house, great view, highly recommend to others!
Perfect for a couple! Literally everything at walking distance. I would return in the future. Only complaint I have is that there was a day the landscaping crew was out when we were trying to enjoy the time out on the house so we decided to leave while they did what they had to do. Also had large roach bugs sneak in the house somehow. Wasn’t a problem for us but others might find that rather unpleasant.
We loved the little cottage overlooking St. Simon Sound! It was a perfect getaway and everything we needed was within walking distance. Great restaurants in the Village! Melanie was awesome to communicate with and even though we didn’t get enough bath towels by mistake, she brought clean ones right away!There is construction on the lot next door, which caused some unexpected noise, and we wish there was a washer/dryer, but overall the stay was wonderful and we would recommend this cottage.
The cottage was very nice, it was mentioned in the listing that there was a house being constructed next-door, but I did not think that it would be obstructing the ocean front view because it stated that it made the view better but I’m not even sure if it was listed as ocean front. I know the host has no control over this so I don’t blame them for that. Everything else was good but no personalized touches or anything within the house even coffee would’ve been great. The porch swing is lovely and the vibes were nice and yard is well kept. Thank you.
The weather was great and the place was good! Very cozy place within walking distance of everything! Beach access is definitely dependent on tides but otherwise was a great time!
Location is ideal. Tucked away on a quaint and quiet lane yet close to everything. You can enjoy sunrises and sunsets from the southern point at the street’s end.
Beautiful home located very close to all the action in a wonderful little town. Host was fantastic. Very helpful and just a lovely stay would highly recommend five stars.
We booked this cottage as a little getaway for the GA/FL game and are so glad we did! We visit SSI often and have local friends but really wanted a different experience than the larger resort condos that we typically stay in. This place is quaint, quiet, and all you need for a nice, intimate getaway! The bed is super comfy, nice shower, wonderful porch with amazing views and a quick walk to The Village. We even had a last-minute late checkout that was happily accommodated! Can't wait to visit again!

About the host
Hosted by Melanie Barger
It has been a blessing to me to grow up on St. Simons Island and now to rear my own children here. Surrounded by the ocean, marshes, rivers, moss-draped live oaks, a day does not pass where I am not in awe of the beauty around me. I am an artist by nature and education and a licensed real estate professional by trade.
Why they chose this property
This honeymoon beach cottage is located in my favorite part of this beautiful island. The tidal beach here is the most secluded on the island. The sunsets are beautiful. If the tide is low, you can walk down the beach to the west at sunset and see and hear the bagpipers playing at Sea Island's Lodge. If the tide is high, you can watch the sunset from the grassy common area and enjoy the refreshing breezes. The beach cottage is a short walk up the beach or through a tree-lined neighborhood from the the heart of the island with village, pier, lighthouse, parks, restaurants, festivals, concerts, and shops. Although the cottage is close to the activity, it is tucked away on a side avenue by the ocean and surrounded by moss-draped live oaks. I love bird-watching from the front porch while enjoying morning coffee. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood and that of my children have been enjoyed on the beach and beachfront lawns of this part of the island. This part of the island has a rich history of hospitality, I am thrilled to be able to share this special place with others.
What makes this property unique
The location is tops and so is the privacy. The cottage itself is elegant, charming, and spacious for a couple. The front porch is delightful. The high ceilings and many windows are a plus. Fresh flowers, coffee set-up, and a couple of bikes for cruising the island will make your get-away at this honeymoon beach cottage even better.
