Beautiful, well-maintained property, close to the beach and village. There is a charming front yard with seating area, and the backyard is fabulous. Compact, but plenty of room for family or friends to enjoy coming together or sneaking away to their own, private space to relax.

Gull Cottage worked out perfect for the long weekend. Great gathering place for close friends for a personal reasons. I highly recommend. We had an issue with the fire alarm and Lighthouse realty sent someone asap

Easy walk to pier and restaurants etc. Very quick walk to beach. BE WARNED: you may hafta share the driveway with others if they rent out the lil cottage by the pool.

Thanks Brandolyn! Yes, the driveway is shared, with designated parking so there's no conflict.
Location, location, location! Short walk to the beach and village. Pool was the perfect size for our group. Not much parking unless you also rent the back cottage but other than that, it's perfect!

We found the home beautiful. It worked perfectly for our weekend get away. The road is a little busy and at times noisy. Our girls loved the pool and that it was walking distance to the Village.

Thank you for your great review Kelly! We would love to have you back for GA/FL weekend! I am very to happy that you enjoyed the properties pool.
Loved this property . Super charming home truly just steps from the beach and less than half a mile from Pier Village's shops and restaurants.
The pool is an added bonus and grill available to make yummy meals.
House totally equipped with everything necessary, including TV streaming like Netflix options.
Management company also super responsive and friendly.

Thank you Chloe, glad you enjoyed it! --Lighthouse Vacations
The house is so pretty and is just paces away from the beach. The pool is small and really cute- perfect for lounging (we brought our own floats). Immaculately clean! The house is a little smaller than it appears in the pictures but it is still roomy and full of charm! We would definitely rent it again!

Thank you Kate! The house is 1344 sqft per tax records, if that helps :-)
This is the one of the nicest homes we have ever rented. The decor was gorgeous and the location was fantastic. The cottage was across the street from the beach access. Literally, a 2 min walk. We walked to dinner every night. The outdoor was wonderful after a day at the beach. The interior was spotless and the yard is beautifully landscaped. We have already booked for next year.
This house is fabulous. Pool is great. Location is awesome- just cross the street to beach which isn't crowded. Walk to village. House is beautiful and comfortable- best spot is the sun porch at front as you can see the water from the sofa. You do share the driveway with the guesthouse in the back but that was fine. If you had 2 families, you could get the main house and guest house too which would be fun.
Rent this house! The best location. Literally one block from the beach (easily walkable). About 1/2 mile from the downtown business district. The property is gorgeous inside and out. The little details-decor, nice sheets/towels, the lighting options. The pool is LOVELY - fountains add a lot! And the outside lounge area we used daily. Don’t hesitate to give this property a try. Can’t wait to come back.

We will definitely be back! We loved our stay in this vintage beach cottage!
From the moment we walked in, we were blown away! It was obvious that the owner has put a lot of love into this house. It is a classy, vintage beach cottage with old-school charm and a fabulous renovation. The beds were comfortable; the sheets were soft, and the beach and village were just a short walk away. The beach is across the street! You can literally see the water from the front steps! My family and I will be back! Thank you, Lighthouse! You guys were absolutely awesome, too!

Thank you Jon - so glad you enjoyed the house. Since you were there last we've added a heated pool, so come try it out some time!
I was really hoping this property was going to be as great as the pictures illustrate and I can now say without a doubt it was! The pictures of course make the front of the house look a little larger but the space out front was adorable, useable and just right. We spent a ton of time in the beautiful back yard and pool making some really great memories. We enjoyed our dinners, games and times just relaxing on the enclosed porch- such a cool space!!! Easy walk to dinner, shops and ice cream! This home is full of charm and we look forward to going back.

Thank you Aria! The enclosed front porch is 10x22 and the house is about 1600 sqft. Glad you were able to make some memories here on the island!
All in all, we would absolutely stay here again during future trips to Saint Simons! The home is very charming and offers lots of space for an active group. We certainly had more than enough room for our multi-generational family! We really enjoyed the location as well, and rode our bikes all over the island. The pool was very nice after long bike rides and as a beach alternative during a fishing tournament (our teenager even took advantage of pre-breakfast swims)!
It is obvious the addition was recently completed with the upstairs master bath requiring some punch list attention. However, the downstairs addition seemed to be done very well. The only other bits to be mindful of were in the kitchen... the dishwasher was not always reliable to deliver clean dishes and use of the oven caused the living room to smell of gas. We quickly learned to use the range hood ventilation whenever using the oven to help mitigate the smell. We saw these issues as small punch list items also, all easily addressed during a week without guests.
Thank you for a wonderful fall break!

I am so glad you had a nice stay with us! Thank you for your feedback.
This was one of the best properties we have ever stayed on in any location! The home is so charming and has wonderful amenities. The location is superb - you can access the beach easily and the downtown Village area. I only wish we could’ve stayed longer!
House is pleasant and enjoyable; pictures are accurate. Very well-stocked with essentials. Check-in easy. Walking to beach and restaurants extremely convenient. Pool dirty on arrival due to spring pollen season; a request for cleaning was honored, albeit a day later and could have been done prior to arrival. Cottage in the rear has shared sightlines, but occupants stayed to themselves. Overall still recommended and had a very nice stay.

Thanks Bryan! We did clean outside before your arrival, and were happy to come by the next day to refresh things.
This home was the perfect stay for my family for an intimate wedding party. The kids stayed in the front house and the parents in the back cottage. We all had dinners by the pool! This house has so much character and is steps away from the beach. It was a 10/10 experience. I would stay here every time I come to St. Simons!
