We had a great stay at Sandy's house! It fit our family of 5 very comfortably and I have to say, my husband and I were spoiled by each having our own bathrooms off the primary bedroom. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed to make meals. We especially liked having the water cooler with filtered water. Sandy's house had beach supplies to make our stay easier and the walk to the beach was flat and easy. Our family loved the pool. It's a really nice size. The deep end was maybe 6-7' so deep enough for our kids to jump but the whole pool was a great depth for playing and for littler ones. All in all, a really nice property and trip.

Amazing place with everything you could possible need.

Sandy's cottage is beautiful. It is extremely well equipped, beautifully furnished and was immaculately clean. The location is very close to the most beautiful, peaceful beach on the island and the pool is enormous. The owner was very helpful and responsive to any questions. We had a wonderful stay here and can thoroughly recommend this house and the location.

Best master suite ever

Sandy’s Cottage was a perfect retreat for our 1st visit to the Golden isles. We loved the master bedroom with TWO en-suite baths walk-in closet and a view of the pool. We were a couple and enjoyed the extra bedrooms for office space etc, but the large one story open plan is perfect for a family get together. There’s a huge kitchen, lots of counter space and a choice of gas or charcoal for grilling. The pool was big enough for lap swimming and Sandy is a gracious, accommodating, and responsive host. Looking forward to return visit.

Spacious and beautiful home, tons of light, plenty of spaces for eating or playing board games, comfy seating throughout... clean with lovely touches. The 4 bathrooms were very handy, and we had lots of closet space and all that we needed. The pool was divine! We enjoyed a simple running path from the house, walked to the beach some, and appreciated the abundance of beach chairs provided. We also really enjoyed the refreshing 5-gallon water dispenser!When we realized that the family room TV wouldn't connect to the internet, after we tried everything with no luck, the owner had it fixed the same day. Not what we came for, but we really appreciated it. We'll be coming back here again!

Amazing home - cottage!!

We absolutely loved everything about this beautiful place!! Everything was so well appointed from the wonderful kitchen to the gorgeous bedrooms with great comforters & sheets! An abundance of nice towels in all 4 bathrooms. Most of all, it was immaculate, including the heated pool with extra-nice outdoor furniture! We have rented a lot of nice places, but our family all agreed that this was by far the best one yet!! We will highly recommend “Hank’s Cottage” to everyone, especially with older children ages 8 up who are good swimmers!! Thank you! The Chapman’s

Thanks for such a wonderful review!! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at Hank’s Cottage. The house underwent a major renovation/update over the past 9 months. Given your comments, I realize the time and effort devoted to improving the property were well worth it. The pool is not heated but does get a great deal of sun. The weather must have been warm enough before or during your stay to raise the temperature of the water. Thanks again for booking your stay at Hank’s Cottage. Hopefully next time you can stay longer.

SSI week

Loved this property! Beautifully decorated and landscaped. Thoughtful touches such as charging cube, pool towels, hot/cold water cooler, and TWO primary suite bathrooms, made it a lovely and comfortable retreat for us. Six family members (younger and older adults) stayed here for the week but we had additional family in town that joined us on multiple occasions for swimming, sharing meals (well stocked and appointed kitchen), and gaming. The house accommodated the larger group nicely! Location was great; easy beach access, nice sidewalks for strolling, and easy on and off of island when you wanted to venture elsewhere. Perfect choice!!

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful week at Sandy’s Cottage! There was plenty of room in the house for teenagers and adults to relax and unwind. The pool was much larger than expected and the patio is equipped with a lot of great seating and lounging options. The house is located a short walk to the beach and for anyone who likes to get out for some exercise, you can walk about 1.2 miles to restaurants or delicious custard and coffee at The Cottage at King and Prince. Make sure you set your alarm and watch the sunrise - it’s a beautiful experience. We had our groceries delivered by Harris Teeter upon our arrival through the Target 360 app, which was very convenient. Our favorite restaurant are Georgia Sea Grill, Southern Soul BBQ, and Barrier Island Brewery. We’ve been visiting SSI for more than 20 years and this was our first time at Sandy’s Cottage - we will definitely stay again!

Fabulous East Beach Get Away

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hank's Cottage! The home is exactly as pictured - comfortable beds, nice linens, well stocked kitchen, clean home. Well maintained pool! The floats and outdoor furniture are awesome! It was even cool enough a couple of nights to enjoy the firepit. The most impressive, in my opinion, is the beautiful landscaping! The landscaping adds to the overall ambiance of the home! The owners truly have done their best to ensure that this property can be comfortable and enjoyed by all who visit. We rented bikes and enjoyed the beach - the best on St. Simons! Thank you Sandy for sharing this home with us - we will be back and are actually ready to move in!
