    MORE INFO

    Legacy Collection Home: This home is part of the Lighthouse Legacy Collection, a celebrated group of St. Simons Island's original beach cottages. Built in the 1930s and 1940s, these homes have been thoughtfully restored to preserve their historic character while offering modern comforts and preserving the architectural charm that makes them unique. What makes these cottages special are the features that can't be replicated in new construction—unique floor plans, original architectural details, cozy room proportions, and the charm that comes from decades of island history. As with any historic home, guests may notice differences from a newly built property. Rooms may be smaller, floors and walls may show the character of age, and the layout may reflect a different era of coastal living. Rather than the perfection of a new home, these cottages offer an authentic St. Simons experience filled with warmth, personality, and timeless appeal. If you appreciate history, character, and coastal nostalgia, we invite you to enjoy this special home.

    Pets: This home is dog friendly with $250 pet fee, 2 dogs max. Unfortunately we can't host breeds known to insurance carriers as 'vicious', please ask if you're not sure.

    No Smoking: No smoking is allowed in the home, on the porches/patios/decks, or on the property in general.

    Minimum Age: Must be 25 + to book, or age 30 + on GAFL weekend (last weekend in October) For GAFL weekend (last weekend in October), guests must be age 30 + or kids with their parents, no student groups. We cannot make exceptions for that weekend.

    No Events: No events or parties. No overnight guests beyond the original booking group.

Awesome Hideaway

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The rental is located in a quiet neighborhood and is convenient to everything. The cleaner had done an excellent job before we got there. We enjoyed the screened in porch. The only problem we had was figuring out the dishwasher. I felt like another lamp could have been used in the living room since we spent a lot of time reading. The owners have put a lot of time, thought and money into the house and it is evident.
