Vehicle access to property is best if compact vehicles only. It is true, parking for two, but…if two vehicles, turning around to get back out is somewhat challenging. I submitted a few suggestions to help improve stay for next visitors, but we definitely enjoyed this small two bedroom, two bath property. Nothing fancy, I would visit again for sure! ##### Mark R.

The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: To start out the picture you are showing is NOT the entrance to the home. The location is in a nice neighbor hood. The host was a nice man(loaned us a golf cart when the county dug up the drive way) The furniture was shabby and the plumbing in the older bathroom needs some work.Love the island, hated this place ##### charles g. ### 8/10 Good #### John S. 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Great place with one caviat Loved the ease of everything about this property. It’s very well taken care of and the rental company is super easy to work with. We will be back but will probably stay somewhere on the beach next time… or rent a golf cart to get around, as it does seem a bit far in the heat for bikes to get to pier, shopping, beach, etc. ##### John S.

Reviewer Comments: Great location to beach. Abundance of dining options. Small but had everything we needed. Great place for our dog. Very limited space for the dog to do his business. Shower was old and grout needed cleaning. Once we adapted it was ok. ##### Shelby E.

I left the day school was dismissed for teachers. I stayed 12 nights. This was the perfect tranquil location for me to reclaim my motivation and recharge. The cottage afforded me all the necessary amenities. The beach was a short 5 minute walk. I’d definitely stay there again. ##### Kelli G. Stayed 12 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Stacy C. 19 Jul 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach bed There was sand in the bed when I arrived. But, it is the beach. So, I brushed it off and slept just fine. Overall the house was just fine. Just the right size for me and my dog. ##### Stacy C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie P. 6 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location in East Beach Small basic bungalow in great location, close to public beach access and wonderful neighborhood for walking. Otherwise the property itself is well used: chipped plates, bleached stained towels, lumpy sofa. Window AC that had a musty smell when turned on. But everything was very clean and everything worked; I can deal with the rest as this obviously is a great price for a 1-2 person rental on this end of St. Simons. ##### Julie P. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nancy R., Westhampton, New York 7 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cottage Near Beach We enjoyed a 3 week stay near East Beach with our dog. Positives were the cottage is located in a nice, walkable neighborhood and a few blocks from the beach. As described on the site this is a clean, older, one bedroom cottage, comfortable and suitable for 2 people and our dog. Negatives were there is no yard (besides the driveway), no beach chairs, yard was not raked, small charcoal grill which wasn't clean, no lids for the pots. Owner was responsive when we had a problem with a drain and quickly fixed the issue. ##### Nancy R. Stayed 23 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rick C., Rockingham, Vermont USA 15 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Pros & Cons There are many appealing aspects to this cottage--10 minute walk to dog-friendly beach, attractive and safe neighborhood, shaded off-street parking & comfy furniture. Biggest downside for us was total lack of ventilation. Every window is painted shut and there wasn't a screen to be seen. 2 noisy air conditioners put on "fan only" were the only option for fresh air but we had to shut them off to sleep. Mostly peaceful area until weekend when we had to ask rowdy renters in next door pool to stop yelling at 1:30am. ##### Rick C. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Melanie A. 1 May 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Don’t let the pictures fool you!! The cottage is very old and run down. It’s located down a small alley that a small car can hardly go down. Limbs sticking out that will scratch your vehicle. JUNKYARD out the living room and kitchen windows. Furniture is old and floors are very old and uneven. Bathroom Floor is nasty and broken. Shower grout and tile is molded and gross!! Water hardly comes out of the shower nozzle! Appears nice and quaint in the pictures but it’s anything but that!! You’re literally in the back yard of another house with no privacy!! And it’s not six houses from the beach. It takes a lot for me to complain but this cottage needs LOTS of work!! My advice is to spend alittle more and get something nice!!! ##### Melanie A. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Meggan B. 17 Jun 2017 #### Dirty Ben was very accommodating up until our arrival. The house would have been a better review but when we got there it was very dirty. There was food stuck to the stove and stains on the bedsheets. There was mud or dirt all over the bathroom floor and the wood floor throughout the house looked like it hadn't been swept in a long time. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the last guest stayed there. I cleaned it the night we arrived. I texted (preferred contact method) and emailed Ben that night and asked for a refund so we could find somewhere else to stay. I didn't hear back until the day before we left so we stayed at the house not knowing if we would receive a refund or not. Fortunately, the weather was great when we stayed in Georgia, so we spent most of our time outside. ##### Meggan B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2017 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Pam G., Hiawassee, GA USA 15 Apr 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lacks accessibility, loud and junky No mention of limited access until I received the check in instructions the day before arrival. We drove 8 hours. Upon arrival saw the super narrow entry- full size trucks and SUVs should not attempt. Construction in front of home and around- very noisy. Carport filled with junk. Openings under home. Construction equipment in parking area. Outside shots are limited in listing- this is probably why. Owner Ben was nice and tried to offer some solutions- park down the street, etc. These were unacceptable for the duration of our stay. We turned around and drove 8 hours back home. Very disappointed. Trying to get some $$ refunded due to missing information in listing. ##### Pam G. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Affordable and close to the beach! We had a great time at this cottage. It is a five minute walk to the beach, which we appreciated. The cottage was as described, other than the bed is advertised as a queen but is definitely only a double/full. It was fine for us, though. The house itself was generally very clean. The dishes/cooking stuff had been only questionably washed (food residue mostly), and there were bugs (mostly flying ants) in the house, but only what you would expect in an older house on the coast. They didn't bother us but some people may be disturbed. We appreciated having a grill to use. Bikes were available, but at the time, only one was a regular adult bicycle. The other adult bikes were a tricycle style, which we did not use. There were also beach chairs available, which was great. The driveway is tight, but the owner makes you aware of that ahead of time and it was very easy with my little car. There is a plant near the entrance that will definitely touch your car (could be cut back possibly?), just something to be aware of it you are the type of person who that may bother. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tami N. 11 Jul 2018 #### Good for what we needed This small bungalow was fine for my daughter and myself for just under a week. It is an extremely quiet area and is conveniently located to East Beach and a short drive to The Village which is our favorite area of SSI. The bed and bath were clean and the bed was comfy. The draw backs for us were: the very unclean frig, coffee pot and microwave. The driveway was scary to navigate in a mid size SUV so I would definitely caution anyone with a larger vehicle. There isn't central air in the home but rather two window units (I didn't pay attention to when considering the home ~ my bad). The units kept the home very comfortable (98 degrees outside during our stay) with the addition of the ceiling fan but did prove noisy for this light sleeper ~ earplugs did the trick! The bathroom was tiny for two ladies and we learned the hard way not to flush or run hot water elsewhere while the other was showering...not really a big issue, just a learning curve. All in all, this is a quaint, conveniently located home that would be great for two travelers to consider when choosing to visit SSI. The owner is easy to work with and answers questions/emails promptly. ##### Tami N. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jamie V. 11 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Short trip:) Everything on line describes the super small house. The drain in the bathroom does back up when you shower. There is a large crack in the bathroom floor by the toilet. The furniture in the living room looks bad and worn out. The TV in the living room also did not work so we could only watch tv from the bedroom. The air conditioners were old with a very musty smell and were unclean. My husband cleaned the air vents. What is not described is all the junk around the house. Both in the carport with the run down golf cart with junk all over it and the junk that you looked at from the living room window. Truly looked like you were in the middle of a junk yard with the unkept landscape. The access to the property is between a fence and a concrete pole and 9 feet clearance is generous. Additionally to walk to the beach beyond the public access you had to walk through a marsh. Just be prepared. The lack of outdoor space and access to a hose in front of the house was a problem for us. There is one if you want to go through the junk in the carport but I was not comfortable with that. ##### Jamie V. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ken S., Atlanta, GA 24 Aug 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anniversary Get-A-Way My wife and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary at SSI. We booked this cottage based on location, description and price. The owner was very responsive to all inquiries and very easy to work with. The beach cottage is not exactly as described on VRBO as "newly renovated bungalow". The kitchen is the only room that has been renovated, the rest of the cottage does have fresh paint but, the living area furniture is old and tired, the bedroom has old carpet with the tack strip nails poking through the threshold into the bathroom, it looks like a dog had chewed the legs on the little eating table as well as the back of the front door and the outside car port has lots of junk from the renovation and work on the main house. So, I would hardly say "newly renovated". The definite plus for the cottage is its location and privacy. It is a simple, one bedroom cottage tucked back behind the main house and is very private and quite. East Beach is a wonderful residential neighborhood and the beach is a short walk away; however, I would suggest you use a beach caddie to carry your beach equipment. When we checked into the cottage, we were very disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of the cottage.. There were several dirty dishes in the kitchen, the open shelves in the kitchen were dusty, the kitchen counter and stove top were dirty, there was some dirt/food on the wall above the little table and the floor needed sweeping. We ended up having to spend an hour cleaning the place before we felt comfortable using the place. That being said, once we cleaned the place up, we had a wonderful week at the cottage and SSI. ##### Ken S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Allison H. 9 Jun 2020 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Okay, but we had a few issues I never leave reviews, but I felt I needed to address a couple of issues with the property. I want to start by saying that we stayed here last year, and it was great. The property was clean last year, and it was the perfect size place for my family. This year upon our arrival, we noticed the property was not nearly as clean as it was for our previous stay. When we arrived, my husband noticed some trash that was thrown out the back door by the previous guest. There was also food left in refrigerator by the previous guest as well as a dirty pan left on the stove, and the dishes were not clean. The cleaning service didn't clean these before we arrived. My husband wondered if the bed linens had been changed by the cleaning service, but there was a spare set of bed linens and we changed them to sleep. He took photos of everything upon our arrival in case there were any issues so that we could show the condition of the property when we got there if we needed to. I'm not one to complain so I didn't bother the owner with the issues. Since we had been quarantined our family was just glad to be on vacation, and we just dealt with it. I always try to leave the property in good condition when we leave. I swept the property the night before we left the next morning and I stripped the bed linens and put them in a pile with the dirty towels for the cleaning service's convenience. I'm not sure why there was such a difference. I would think there would almost have to be a change in the cleaning company from last summer. The owner has always been such a great host. That is why we booked the property to stay there again this year. We still had a great time, and the location is fantastic. We just had to deal with some cleanliness issues upon our arrival. ##### Allison H. Stayed 4 nights in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hunter C. 20 Jan 2025 ##### Hunter C.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I have been vacationing on St. Simons for almost 40 years and have stayed practically everywhere. This last trip was a last minute getaway for my daughter and me. This cottage was perfect in every way! I loved the cozy charm, great location and neighborhood vibe.
