Lovely, clean place!
We’ve stayed at several different dog-friendly places on St Simons and this was by far our favorite. Loved the location and proximity to beach, the quiet surroundings, and the fully fenced yard! The tabby cottage is so clean and welcoming. It was the perfect amount of space for our party of two dogs and two adults (we each had our own full bathroom which was awesome). The couch was such a comfy spot to hang out on at the end of the day. The communication with the property managers was prompt and polite. We’d definitely stay here again.

This property was even better than posted. It had so much room and space to hang out. It had everything we needed and then some. It was decorated so stinking cute. The location was also GREAT...in the middle of everything. We rented a golf cart and used it the entire week. The house was very clean and we can't wait to stay here again.

serene stay
Comfortable and clean place to base ourselves for our island adventures. The winter weather was warm enough for a few days that the sun porch became our favorite cottage spot to relax. Close to shops, restaurants, and all outdoor activities that we had planned. We loved the vintage/vintage-inspired décor. Important maintenance issue addressed quickly by property management .

Nice property for kids, pets
My husband and I had a good week at the beach with our daughter, 3 granddaughters and 2 small dogs. The cottage was lovely and clean. Love the back screened in patio and fenced yard. We had a major plumbing issue midweek and had to use another empty rental across the road for baths and laundry, which was fine and no one could have foreseen the problem. When I asked for a discount (twice) I was ignored. They simply didn’t answer me. I thought we should have gotten one since we were had to clean up flooded bathrooms and the master bedroom several times. That being said, it is still a nice home and I am sure the issues have been fixed (I was told it would involve digging up the yard).

We've never stayed on this part of the island, but I'm glad we did. We could walk the dogs in the neighborhood and to the beach. The house is well-equipped, cleverly decorated and comfortable, and the screened porch is perfect.

Great Rental
This house was perfect for us, the screened in porch was great and I loved have a fence in yard with a swing for our daughter to play on. Great location, it is 5 minutes from the beach and anywhere else we wanted to go. This was our first trip to St. Simon's and we definitely want to go back and would like to stay at the same house.
