The layout for two families with teens and friends was perfect! The location to the beach and shops/restaurants can’t be beat.

Very comfortable home with great location between Pier Village shops/restaurants and the beach. Nice sidewalks for bike rides. Easy, non-congested walk to beach area that was accessible all day. Management was responsive to any questions. Nice family oriented neighborhood.

St Simone’s Island is our HAPPY place and we enjoyed the beautiful house for our stay! Tried a few new restaurants on the island and went over to Driftwood beach and the Georgia Sea Turtle rescue on Jekyll Island. We can’t wait to go back to SSI

Very clean and a joy to stay in with access to the beach that is about two blocks away. We stayed from Tuesday to the next Tuesday because that was our schedule. Most places will have a set check in and checkout on the weekends so this was much more convenient for us.

Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Lighthouse Cottage!

We’re glad you loved the apple hand soap—it’s the little touches that make a difference! It was a pleasure hosting you all, and we hope to welcome you back again!
-Lauren with Lilmar Vacations
We loved our stay! Plenty of room for our family of seven to hang out together watching tv, eating, or playing games. Plenty of beds and bathrooms too. The hosts were attentive and made contacting them simple. The house is in a quiet neighborhood two blocks from the beach, and down the street from quite a few great restaurants. It’s only a mile from the downtown area too, so we walked everywhere. We really enjoyed the covered porches during our rainy week, and the covered hot tub too! Can’t wait to stay here again!

It turns out we actually didn’t have have to code for downstairs room and had to call two different offices to get code. Couldn’t get in until after dinner . Took gear and bags upstairs, then haul downstairs. Not a good beginning!
