About the host
Hosted by Mike Sanders
We’re Mike and Catherine Sanders, and we’re looking forward to all the memories still to come at Tides Cottage. St. Simons Island has become a special place for our family, and we hope it becomes a meaningful spot for you too. Whether it’s your first visit or one of many, we hope Tides Cottage feels like a place you’ll want to come back to.
Why they chose this property
We spent a lot of time driving around St. Simons—through East Beach, near the pier, and exploring different neighborhoods—before we found Tides Cottage in Ocean Breezes. The name comes from the steady, refreshing breezes that flow through this area, giving it a relaxed, coastal feel.
What really drew us in were the classic cottages—simple, charming homes that feel genuine, not like typical vacation rentals. The neighborhood is peaceful and feels like a real community.
Plus, it’s just a short walk to the beach and some great local restaurants. That combination of charm, comfort, and convenience is what made us fall in love with Tides Cottage —and what we think makes it special for guests too.
