The cottage was very nice, it was mentioned in the listing that there was a house being constructed next-door, but I did not think that it would be obstructing the ocean front view because it stated that it made the view better but Iâm not even sure if it was listed as ocean front. I know the host has no control over this so I donât blame them for that. Everything else was good but no personalized touches or anything within the house even coffee wouldâve been great. The porch swing is lovely and the vibes were nice and yard is well kept. Thank you.
Very nice place, but I wish I had known about the giant house being built that blocks almost all view of the water. This was my 50th birthday getaway and my husband 24yrs of active duty military retirement. All I wanted to do was sit on that swing and sip my coffee in the morning while looking out at the water, and sip my wine at night while the sun went down. There is now a huge cinder block home being built. Which anyone coming for the week I would imagine for the next year youâll get to enjoy the sounds of construction. No fault of anyoneâs just not sure I would have picked this place had I known about the ocean view being gone. Could have paid the same for a much bigger place with a pool. The beach access close is gone in the evening as the water is hitting the rocks, no evening walks on the beach. The beach access close is way to close to the pier for my swimming enjoyment. So we had to spend extra for a golf cart to get to the beach access that was not near the pier. Especially since they caught a shark out there a week or so ago. We really did enjoy our stay, even thought the above doesnât sound like it. It just I wish I had known about the house being built and the beach by the house, not really being a beach. Oh and there were huge ants that invaded the bathroom, good thing was they didnât bite.
Perfect for a couple! Literally everything at walking distance. I would return in the future. Only complaint I have is that there was a day the landscaping crew was out when we were trying to enjoy the time out on the house so we decided to leave while they did what they had to do. Also had large roach bugs sneak in the house somehow. Wasnât a problem for us but others might find that rather unpleasant.
This cottage is surrounded by a beautiful old tree with very long branches that stretched all the way around us.I really did feel as though we were up in a treehouse. I loved the swing on the side porch that overlooked a beautiful garden. We could feel the ocean breezes at night. The cottage was super clean and comfortable. I loved the big walk in shower. Even though it was quiet here, we were in walking distance to Pier Village with fun gift shops and great restaurants. My favorites were a tour of the lighthouse museum, The Nest Restaurant, and The Sea Grill Inn. We also loved the breakfast restaurant called Three Little Birds. The owner, Melanie, was extremely helpful and responsive. She gave us some ideas for things to do and see. We loved moving walks on the East end of the Island beaches. We will cherish our stay at this romantic cottage. Everyone on the Island is super friendly and welcoming. Thank you Melanie.
We loved the little cottage overlooking St. Simon Sound! It was a perfect getaway and everything we needed was within walking distance. Great restaurants in the Village! Melanie was awesome to communicate with and even though we didnât get enough bath towels by mistake, she brought clean ones right away!There is construction on the lot next door, which caused some unexpected noise, and we wish there was a washer/dryer, but overall the stay was wonderful and we would recommend this cottage.
Property was very clean and comfortable for two in a quiet neighborhood. We loved the ocean view! Location was very convenient and an easy walk to restaurants and shops in the Village. Host communication was excellent.
We really had a great stay . Our host Melanie was very helpful. I donât think we couldâve picked a better place for our anniversary weekend. We will definitely be back
Our trip focused on food and sites in and around the village. This propertyâs location was awesome, short walk to the village. Great house, great view, highly recommend to others!
We booked this cottage as a little getaway for the GA/FL game and are so glad we did! We visit SSI often and have local friends but really wanted a different experience than the larger resort condos that we typically stay in. This place is quaint, quiet, and all you need for a nice, intimate getaway! The bed is super comfy, nice shower, wonderful porch with amazing views and a quick walk to The Village. We even had a last-minute late checkout that was happily accommodated! Can't wait to visit again!
This quaint cottage was perfect for our anniversary. Even though we ate out most of the time, the house was stocked with all that we needed. The bikes came in handy as we biked around town each day and enjoyed the use of the beach chairs. On our first evening, we saw a gorgeous rainbow over the ocean from the front porch swing. The landscaping was beautiful and we loved the close proximity to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. We climbed the lighthouse, found tree spirits, learned to crab, spent time at the community pool and enjoyed great seafood. We hope to visit again.
The weather was great and the place was good! Very cozy place within walking distance of everything! Beach access is definitely dependent on tides but otherwise was a great time!
