About this property
3-Min Walk to Beach • Screened Porch • Fenced Yard for Dogs
YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Three minutes after leaving Normandy Cottage, your feet can be in the sand. Back at this 1940s St. Simons cottage, the routine is simple: rinse off in the hot-water outdoor shower, turn the dogs loose in the fully fenced yard, and take a cold drink to the screened front porch. Live oaks shade the front yard, and the porch fan keeps the air moving when the afternoon gets warm.
Inside, everything is on one level, with hardwood floors, wide windows, a beadboard dining-room ceiling and open kitchen shelving. There is room for six around the dining table, though Crab Daddy’s and Barrier Island Brewing are both a 9-minute walk when nobody wants to cook.

Everything was great. 3 min to beach. 15 min to dining. Dog enjoyed
We loved this precious little cottage! It was super clean and the yard was perfect for our dogs. It’s a short walk to the beach access and pier village and overall just a great location on a quiet street. This has been my favorite stay on SSI and we hope to come back to this one again.
Such a beautiful, comfy cottage! Convenient short walk to the beach and close to the village pier. Great having the outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. We loved our stay! Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was just the right size for us and our dog. My husband has advanced Parkinson's and can not stand for long periods or handle steps well. We managed the three small steps at the cottage and were able to go out a few times. We had great customer service especially from Tiffany and would highly recommend going through Emmons Realty to get the right location for your visit. Thanks to all for a great stay.
We love this house. Short walk to beach and we bring our dogs. Not too far to walk to the crab trap or back into town is a little further but definitely doable if you don’t want to worry about parking. We have been staying at this property for the last 4 years.
Totally enjoyed the stay . . Walkable to everything, the beach, stores, food and sights . . Cozy and comfortable . . Immediately felt at home and great place for the dog highly recommended
Normandy Cottage was a cozy and comfortable stay. We had everything we needed, the beds were super comfy, the property was safe and clean for our pet. We are a family that likes to cook each day, especially breakfast and we had everything we needed. The location was super nice and everything was very safe and walkable. We really enjoyed our evenings on the screened in front porch, having conversation and charcuterie plates. We would definitely stay again!!
Very comfortable vintage cabin well maintained with a homey feel. Pet friendly cabin with fenced yard, pleasant neighborhood and easy stroll to beach and village.
We absolutely loved our stay, It was the perfect place for a relaxing getaway close to the beach and to Al the restaurants.We will definitely return!Lynn
Great location close to the beach and the Village. Fenced yard is a bonus for those bringing their four legged family members. Outdoor shower is always a plus!

first time we ever took a pet and t was a great experienceLOVED THE HOUSE
We had a great stay at this charming cottage. The house was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were really comfortable. It really is just a 3-minute walk to the beach—we loved how easy it was to pop over for a swim or sunset. We also enjoyed biking around the area and taking nightly strolls into town for ice cream. Our dog Dolly especially loved the fenced backyard. Would absolutely stay here again!
