Long Weekend at St Simons

Our stay was terrific. It’s our 2nd time to this location and it was just as advertised. Our stay overlapped the hurricane that luckily went to the south but the owner was very flexible with check in and out to help us avoid the potential storm. Would strongly recommend if your planning a trip to East Beach.

Perfect family beach trip

We are repeat guests, and our stay gets better each time. We can’t wait for the next visit. We enjoyed the screened in porch and living areas as well as close proximity to the beach. The layout is perfect for our group - 5 adults in the main house and 2 adults and a baby in the guest house.

Family vacation

The Beach Cottage was perfect for our week at the beach. The property was exactly as described and the suite over the garage was a great option. The beach was easy to access. We were especially impressed with the kitchen: plenty of dinnerware and cookware. Kevin was extremely helpful with check-in and answered any questions we had. He responded immediately to resolving an issue that required some maintenance. We highly recommend the cottage for future rentals. It was an excellent choice for our 3 generation family of 7.

East Beach Cottage is the ideal vacation home for several couples or an extended family. The screened porch is a lovely space to enjoy family time when you aren't out enjoying the beach- which is an easy walk. Kevin is an amazing host and we have already booked to return next year!

welcoming East Beach cottage

This was our 4th year staying here and we enjoy it more each year. The front porch is so welcoming and the perfect place to sit with coffee or a glass of wine. The bedrooms were perfect for 3 couples, and my husband and I and our baby used the garage apartment. It was great to have quiet space for him to nap and sleep. We can’t wait to book again.

My family and I had a relaxing, comfortable stay. The home offers excellent amenities and a location that makes beaching and sight-seeing super easy. Kevin was highly responsive and amenable to requests we made. The apartment above the garage got a little hot, but the AC rebounded quickly with temperature adjustments.

Family beach trip

We loved this property, especially the front porch and the large screened in porch! Our kids had a ball playing foosball in the converted garage. The proximity to the beach, the village, playground, etc. was terrific. However we found that for our family, renting a golf cart was absolutely essential for hauling chairs, kids, etc to the beach.

BEST house on east beach!

This is a lovely beach cottage that is quintessential East beach st. Simons. It was the perfect spot for my family of four (with twin infants) plus grandparents in the garage guest house. Everyone was able to have their own space, with updated bathrooms and a wonderful screened porch. The house had all the essentials, including the kitchen which had more than I expect from a rental. Great side screened porch, and outdoor shower was clutch for post beach rinses. Would love to stay here again!
