We will definitely book a return trip. The property was amazing and the neighborhood felt safe for our children to walk around unsupervised. We look forward to our next visit.
Location was amazing, nice beach and pool area. Master suite is beautiful. Decorated nicely but nit over the top.
Loved our stay here! Perfect for out group of 8.
Had a couple of things happen but Agent was highly responsive and efficient. Entire family had a great time. Highly recommended property - and I’ve been staying at SSI since the 1960’s.

The cottage was exactly as presented online. The location was perfect. When we return to St. Simon Island, we'll definitely book this place again, if available.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Three Friends cottage is a great beach house with plenty of room for the whole family. We look forward to having you stay with us again.
We loved the 3 Friends Cottage. It was very close to the pool and beach. The elevator was a game changer for when we were loading or unloading or just too tired to take the stairs. Beautifully decorated and plenty of room - we could be together or find a private nook for reading. Should we return to SSI; I know where we will stay.
Our first trip to St. Simons and this house exceeded our expectations! We take several beach trips a year and this house was by far the best! Super clean, well stocked, close proximity to pool and beach. Easy check in and property manager answered any questions quickly. Highly recommend!

Family vacation
St Simons is a great place to vacation. Had a wonderful family paddle boat tour with Turtle Tides. The cottage was lovely and worked well for our set up. Really nice having the beach/pool option. My only recommendation would be investing in some beach chairs although the rental company provided some on short notice which was greatly appreciated.

Thank you for choosing Three Friends Cottage for your vacation. We always try to ensure there are some beach chairs and beach towels available for guests. We have purchased new chairs and appreciate your input. Hope to see you back on the island soon. Thanks.
House was amazing! Provided everything we needed. Check in and out directions were clear and easy. Beach and pool were less than 5 minute walk. Shopping and variety of local restaurants were perfect. Cant wait to return!! Thank you for a relaxing trip
Warm ocean breezes, an amazing private beach with life guards, all the items needed for a fantastic week. The house is well appointed for families with living areas on all levels. The upstairs shower was awesome!! We went out to eat a lot this trip and we found lots of great spots for fresh seafood. The bowls at Fiddler’s were fan favorites!
My girlfriends and I rented Three Friends Cottage May 16 thru the 19th. It was an amazing house. None of us could come up with a single negative comment. All the bedrooms were perfect for our group. Especially the master suite. The master bathroom is so spacious and spa like. Even though we didn't do much cooking, the kitchen is very nice and had everything you could need. The cottage doesn't have a view of the ocean, but, it's just a short walk down the walkway. The pools are very nice too. One of our favorite things is the elevator. We are all in our sixties, so, it was super nice not to have to deal with the stairs all the time. I highly recommend this house for a relaxing get away in beautiful St. Simons Island!

Thank you so much for your nice review. We loved having you and your friends stay at Three Friends Cottage.
The elevator does come in handy for luggage and groceries. Hope to see you again soon.
We loved the house and Coast Cottage neighborhood! The elevator was great for my older parents. The house is spacious and absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed being so close to the pool and beach. The house has everything you need including beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys and a wagon. The deck was wonderful for coffee in the mornings and just hanging out during the day or night. We hated to leave but hope to stay at 5 Coast Cottage again next year!
Four sisters and our mom spent a few days at Three Friends Cottage. The beach and pool access was excellent. We especially appreciated having beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cart available for our use. The house was beautiful and very well equipped. Bedrooms and bathrooms were just as nice as the photos showed. The kitchen and living area were spacious and inviting. We had planned to watch movies but we had so much fun we ran out of time. Really nothing to critique.

Thank you for such a nice review. We appreciate guests like you! We hope that you will stay with us again.
We arrived Friday for a late Friendsgiving weekend. The house was cozy, warm and welcoming. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked with all of our cooking needs for a feast. Perfect location, quick drive to downtown and grocery. Comfy beds. We would have preferred the downstairs living space to have a regular bed instead of the pull out sofa because that would have been more comfortable and the living room on main floor hosted all of our entertainment needs for our group. This was a perfect place for our group of 9 to enjoy quality time together.
We stayed for a week at the Three Friends Cottage with 10 family members and had a wonderful time. We made extensive use of the wide beach within easy walking distance and the swimming pool at the end of the street. The house has lots of interesting architectural features and an extravagant primary bath. We had a couple of appliance problems, but they were addressed very promptly by the property manager. The living space is spread over three floors and elevated one floor above the ground, so we got plenty of exercise on the stairs.

Time with the family!
We stayed at Three Friends Cottage in July 2013 and it was wonderful! The place was clean and well supplied. We had 10 in our group including 4 grandchildren ages 3 - 10. The pool was approximately 150 feet from the front door and the beach about 500 feet. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone! The grand kids loved the shower in the master bedroom and we ran them through it like a car wash. Everyone wants to go back next year. We loved sitting out on the porch for morning coffee and in the evening. Thanks so much Patrick for making our stay so wonderful!
