Delightful Pet Friendly Cottage in East Beach Neighborhood with Swimming Pool

This delightful "L" shaped original beach cottage is located on East Beach just a block from the 6th Street beach access. With multiple entrances this home is nestled under graceful live oaks, a beautiful custom designed salt water pool greets you as you enter the front gate. The cottage, built in the late ‘40s, is renovated with fun beach decor, tile floors throughout and an upgraded kitchen. The spacious den features a huge wood burning fireplace with a 42” plasma television above the mantle. A cozy second den is off the kitchen and dining room. The 3 bedrooms are spacious with plenty of storage, and there are two and one half baths.

This home has a large pool with the option to heat. As you can see in the photos, the pool is under a canopy of a majestic live oak tree known for falling leaves. We do our best to keep it clean but it may require a skimming now and again, during your stay. Heating the pool must be arranged ahead of time. Contact our office for details.

The home will accept pets for a $250 non-refundable pet fee.

St. Simons is a very special, family-friendly place and there’s a lot to do. In addition to enjoying the pool, you can stroll the quiet East Beach neighborhood or take the short walk to the beach, watch the wild life on the marsh or hop on your bikes for an easy ride to the Village. Additionally, there is a very large public swimming pool complex at the Village, a great miniature golf course and a kids' playground. The island also has a skateboard park. And don't forget there's delicious dining all over the Island.

Please note: Parking for the home located in the front outside of the gate. Alley parking is not an option but is the best place to unload!

Be advised there are EXTERIOR only cameras  around the property to help maintain security of the premises.

Not What We Expected

If we had to do it all over again we would stay somewhere else. The pictures make the home seem much nicer than it is. It has been neglected and is great need of some TLC. The HVAC and ceiling fan in the large living room were not working upon arrival - took 4 phone calls to Hodnett to finally reach someone because they kept hanging up on me. While the big oaks on the property are absolutely beautiful that comes with added maintenance which no one was doing. The entire paver pool deck was covered upon arrival, huge leaf piles in corners of wall and fence, one fence portion is broken and falling in, roof of overhang was damaged and not repaired, the grill was unsightly and had a coal starter and lighter fluid just sitting atop of it, the dirty grill grate was propped up along the fence, a blue cooler was leaning on gate. Pool turned green on Day 2 and after multiple phone calls the pool company finally came out the day before our departure and said don't get in it until tomorrow - well we were leaving. Hodnett did refund a small amount for the pool inconvenience. Black fruit flys in master bathroom. 2 roaches on Day 3. The pool cover isn't even in a location that it is usable. One of the glass globes on the dining room chandelier is missing. There is only 1 pool lounger, the listing shows 2. There's no tv in the master, the listing shows one. All pool furniture was in disarray upon arrival. My husband actually looked to see if somewhere else was available for our time frame.

Vacay with our adult kids

We stayed through a hurricane and had a good time playing games while rained in. Split layout is good for adults staying up late while kids go to bed. Kitchen is small but functional but the floor slants! Beach access down the street is good—others nearby were overgrown or flooded. Pool is a good size and shaded so not too hot. Bring your bug spray for sure.

Wonderful Family Location

We loved our stay in this home. The home itself was nicely decorated and inviting. Our favorite room was the large family room and it quickly became our nightly hang out location. The home is located near several different East Beach accesses which was wonderful. The free beach gear offering was really nice - we selected bicycles including 1 with a cart that we ended up using often. The pool area was beautifully landscaped and nicely shaded - we spent a lot of time there. Overall we agreed that this home was an 8 out of 10. There were a few of the ‘little extras’ missing that we’ve had in other VRBO homes and quirks that kept it from being a 10. For example, there was only 1 kitchen towel, no condiments, minimal to no pantry basics (oil, cooking spray, napkins, toothpicks, etc), no tissues anywhere in the house, no operating ice maker in the refrigerator, limited selection of good pots and pans, and no hand soap in any of the bathrooms other than a small tube of body wash. As far as quirks there were several interior doors that would not shut all the way or stay shut and some closet doors that were stuck and wouldn’t open. There was only 1 outside trash bin. At night there were small bugs on the kitchen floor that we would see when we snapped on the light. Overall the plusses of this house definitely outweighed the minuses listed above and we recommend this house.

Cute cottage with a lot of potential

We thought the place was clean and comfortable enough inside but lacked decent cookware. It was old and some of it was rusty. Some of the plates were chipped and the appliances were not upscale as advertised. Fortunately, St Simons has great restaurants, so we did not cook much. Luckily it was too cold to swim because the pool looked dirty and was only cleaned the day before we left. The previous week we were alerted that we would get the access code at exactly 4:00 at check-in through an email or text. That didn't happen and we panicked - had to call on a Sunday. Thankfully there was someone there to help. Honestly, this place could be absolutely amazing with a little remodeling and re-decorating. The grounds need a little TLC, too.

Very relaxing

The house is very spacious and super close to the dog-friendly beach. Wifi and Roku worked without any issues. The pool was low on water and needed to be shocked, so we didn't use it (note that our stay was in November), but the property manager was very responsive. All the necessities (toilet paper, coffee filters, soap, dishwashing detergent, etc) were stocked generously. This house would be a great space for a family vacation.

Quiet Neighborhood

Relaxing stay. Quiet neighborhood. Beautiful neighborhood and location, a block to the beach! The pool was heated upon arrival, however they do charge you, per day, if you want the pool heated. The water level in the pool was low. The pool guy should have come out before someone stayed The trash can in the kitchen was broken and the bathroom door from the first room does not close or lock, so if you are in the other room and sharing a bathroom with someone you don't have the privacy. all these issues are minor and just wanted to alert you to what needs to be fixed. We enjoyed our stay and will be back next year!

A little slice of old south paradise on East Beach

We had a lovely time staying at this property. It is the perfect location - easy beach access and the pool was wonderful too! Love the charming cottage - the layout was amazing to accommodate our family. And it is so beautifully decorated- the live oak trees add even more character gives the property a very nostalgic feel. We loved it!!

Fall Break Trip

Our family has rented several homes in this area. This house was our favorite. We will rent it again for sure. Our dog loved the yard. We loved the pool, swing and fire pit. The house is spacious and nicely arranged for a family. The beach is just down the street but pack your bug spray, which we already knew. Our family of five (ages 2,6,9) walked or biked to the beach twice daily during our trip.

Cozy and comfortable - would stay again!

This home was very comfortable, well-appointed, and in a great location - a 10 minute walk or 3 minute drive to East Beach public access; however, it is showing a little wear and tear. Had some difficulty reaching Hodnett for a minor maintenance issue over the weekend, but they came out quickly and fixed the problem once we made contact. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
