House was better than the pictures showed and would be a place if you have little kids.

Thank you, Gregory! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and that the house exceeded your expectations. We hope to host you and your family again soon! - Ryan
We had a wonderful few days at the Heron Cottage. It was our first visit to St. Simons and we will definitely be back. The home was beautifully decorated and well stocked. We paid to heat the pool and spent every afternoon enjoying it. The airport is truly in the back yard which was a little surprising at first, but not a deal breaker. Thank you for a relaxing getaway!
We had a fun and relaxing girls trip. There were 5 of us who travelled from Texas & California. Heron cottage was very well equipped and set up perfect for the two 2 year olds who were travelling with us. They loved the kids corner under the stairs & especially loved the pool time. The house was nicely located not far from the beaches, fun activities, & food. Bike rentals were easy and worked great! We wish we had spent our last 2 days at Heron Cottage rather than Hilton Head Island. We absolutely loved St. Simons Island and our stay at Heron Cottage. Thanks for a Great Stay.......
