Thank you so much for your kind words, Anita! I'm thrilled to hear that you loved the decor and outdoor spaces of the property. It was a pleasure having you as a guest on St. Simons Island.
Beautiful coastal cottage. Sentimental for me because it's in my childhood neighborhood. Peaceful and laid back "Happy" cottage. Will definitely stay again!

That's wonderful to hear. Hope you enjoyed your time here.
We loved eveything about this cottage - You can walk to the beach , it has enchanting twinkling lights on the back deck, the front porch is a perfect jigsaw puzzle spot, the comfy beds, a well stocked kitchen and 2 living spaces to spread out...we will definitely be rebooking!
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The rental is located in a quiet neighborhood and is convenient to everything. The cleaner had done an excellent job before we got there. We enjoyed the screened in porch. The only problem we had was figuring out the dishwasher. I felt like another lamp could have been used in the living room since we spent a lot of time reading. The owners have put a lot of time, thought and money into the house and it is evident.
