Perfectly Wonderful

We had a wonderful time. Very close to the beach, next to the St. Simons WWII museum, close to shops and restaurants. It was very clean and inviting. We cooked one night; the kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials including some extras. We will be back, thank you.

Amazing

Fantastic property in a terrific beachside neighborhood. We enjoyed the more remote location within the development, a bit farther from the beach but quieter marsh views. All properties look at too many large SUVs. It would be great if they offered remote parking and encouraged everyone to walk/bike the neighborhood. Fantastic management company operates with military precision. Best for immediate families of 5 or 6. More will be uncomfortable. We loved the flipped layout with living spaces upstairs and bedrooms downstairs but may be challenging for less mobile folks. Pools are OK. We will return!

Family get away

We enjoyed our time at St. Simon’s. The cottage was perfect for our family. The only difficulty we had was It was frustrating many things were not open due to low season. The restaurants don’t take reservations which was a pain since we had 7 people.

Great place to stay on St. Simons

Water Lily Cottage is a great place to stay to enjoy St. Simons Island. It's close to the beach, close to the beautiful salt marshes, close to restaurants and shops. It has lots of space and very well equipped. The management company (Lilmar) is responsive and helpful.

The beds and pillows were comfortable which is rare. Location great. Appreciated the effort to build a house like our great grandfather’s beach house. Nostalgia. One arm chair slightly broken. Someone had tried to glue it. Not a problem though. RM RM

Exceptional property! We loved the Water Lily!

This house provided the perfect home away from home for our family of 6 during our St. Simons Island vacation! The house was extremely clean and was equipped with everything we needed for the week. We ate several meals at the cottage and the kitchen was stocked with all the basics and many additional items you would not necessarily think of a rental property having, but were very useful! The house was very comfortable and beautifully decorated (NOT over the top “beach house” themed like many properties seem to do and can be quite tacky). Not having to pack beach towels and chairs was great as these were also provided by the property. The location is a short walk to the pools and then beyond to the beach, so easy to go back and forth without having to drag a ton of sand into a vehicle!! The management company was very responsive and quick to answer any questions and make sure we had everything we needed for an exceptional stay. We definitely plan on returning to St. Simons and would stay at the Water Lily Cottage again for sure!!

Great house in a great location. Quick 5 min walk to the pool and beach, which was great with 3 little ones. Rooms are a good size and clean. Only thing i can say negatively is the parking spots are small, as we couldn't fit 2 big suvs in the spots, so i had to park across the street. Overall great place

Beautiful - Luxury Stay!

This property is gorgeous! Adam and his team did a really amazing job with attention to detail in labeling all of the house functions (light switches/fans/kitchen drawers, etc..) The decor is beautiful, and the house felt 'brand new'.The seating very comfortable! Beds too were really great. The luxury towels and linens much appreciated. We loved the cottage community, heated pool and private access to the beach. Very special spot with no crazy crowds on Spring Break. 5 star rating, and highly recommend this house as it was very spacious and just perfect!

Beautiful house in an excellent location

The house was lovely - very clean, well equipped, in a quiet neighbourhood and only a short walk to the beach. This house has been thoughtfully furnished and equipped - we found the beach gear and the pool towels very useful (as visitors from the UK it is not easy to bring these things ourselves). We also really enjoyed using the swimming pools and the facilities there were good and clean. We would love to come back and stay another time :)
