This was perfect for our family of 4 with a vizsla only crossing one road and a half till our feet & paws were in the sand. We absolutely enjoyed our stay - neighbors were peaceful and barely noticed anyone nearby. We’d love to return again!

We really enjoyed our stay! It was super close to the beach which was really nice with 6 kids! Being an older house the AC had trouble keeping up by mid afternoon but it was an extremely hot week so it’s understandable. Definitely was tolerable. Would book there again!

“Life’s a Beach” cottage was perfect for us and our pup. Walk to the beach, many restaurants and easy walk to downtown. Great neighborhood for morning walks with our dog. Property managers were friendly and quick to reply to any questions. Easy check in. We appreciated how well equipped the kitchen was. Great for making meals at home. Thanks for a fun week in SSI!

Great house! Great location!

Loved the central living space with large sofa, chairs and table where we could gather. Also the deck when it wasn’t raining. Comfortable beds. Very clean. One street over from beach and a little over a half mile walk to stores/restaurants/lighthouse/pier. We all agreed we should stay longer next time.

Overall, we had a pleasant stay because Saint Simons is a lovely place. The property management company was fantastic, attentive, and responded quick if I needed to message them. The house was clean and charming. Unfortunately, there was construction on the house directly next-door and it really made it hard with one of our dogs that we brought who has anxiety. We also were looking forward to sitting out on the patio, which is one of the reasons why we booked this house. Unfortunately, the construction workers were directly next to us, and we did not feel comfortable. It would’ve been nice to know this ahead of time.

Near the Beach

Pros: Clean, dog friendly cottage near the beach; quiet area Cons: poor outdoor lighting around the property ;One parking spot for one vehicle Although No Parking signs were placed in the front yard after OUR arrival, an unmarked vehicle parked a van in front of the rental house (we notified the rental company) Acorns hit the tin roof throughout the day and night (restless nights)

Great location, but needs a refresh and a cleaning.

The location was excellent… but everything else was just meh. This place has a lot of potential, but needs a refresh and a deep clean. House was not well cleaned before our stay. Dirty windows, doors and mirrors. Furniture was old and rugs stained. Bathrooms were small for the number of beds. Toilet paper, trash bags, soap, etc was rationed to the point of ridiculous. WiFi wasn’t reliable. We enjoyed our time immensely despite these things, but for the price being paid I expected better.

1st night no Heat

On our first night there was no heat. We contacted Property Management immediately. Please keep in mind it was 40 degrees outside and it was totally unacceptable to have no heat. The house had a smart thermostat that indicated an error and property management was aware of this issue but no one was monitoring the warning. We asked for a space heater and was refused. A maintenance man did stop by but was not an electrician and not much he could offer but to try and reset the thermostat. I started texting property management the next morning about 9:30 am and received a text stating it was Sunday and a holy day and please be patient as the staff was attending church, however, I could send them a Prayer Request... what are you freaking kidding me. A prayer request was not going to get me heat. I continued to send text and was finally told an electrician would be out to repair the issue but they could not provide an estimated time. Therefore, we were stuck at the property until the electrician arrived, which was 5pm in the afternoon. Also, after many complaints we did receive a space heater at 2:00 in the afternoon. I understand things break, however, there were plenty of other electricians but this company only wanted to use a specific company and to not supply a space heater is totally unacceptable. I did receive 1 night compensation but I had to insist for that to be issued.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Feb, 2025
Hi Alice - thank you so much for your patience as we worked out the issue with the heat. There are only a handful of electricians that will service on weekends/after hours so the timing was unfortunate, especially since they could not provide a specific time to service the heater. We apologize for any confusion the text message may have caused, as this is an automated text message that goes out on Sundays. We appreciate you staying with us and we hope to have an opportunity to host you again in the future!

The property is well located, close to the beach. It's clear that the owners of the property have not stayed their in quite sometime as there were lots of little things that need to be fixed (i.e. kitchen sink faucet was about to fall off, shower doors, blinds, etc). Key bareley works in the front door. The cars driving past at night are very loud and the front rooms need thicker blinds. Everything else was fine. My lower rating on the communication was due to the property manager not responding to multiple texts about a light that would not turn off in the master bedroom. I finally fixed it myself after playing with it for a few hours.

Gem cottage in a gem of a town!

Loved this cottage! It was perfect for a 4 day birthday/girls trip! There was plenty of space & more for all 5 of us. Literally one block from the beach- found access through a walkway right across the street which was so nice! The bathrooms were on the smaller size but rooms were very large with plenty of space to get ready!! The large couch was perfect for movie night and playing games as was the kitchen table for eating meals together. Multiple entrances to the house made it easy to load/unload. Washer & dryer was helpful-plenty of dishes and cookware. Be sure to bring extra toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, as they are not supplied outside of 1 per each bathroom. The outside shower was helpful to rinse off our feet after coming from the beach. Everything was very close- you can walk just about everywhere within 15 minutes! Will be back.
