Cute Beach Cottage!

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 didn’t 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.

Perfect!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Barger

Host profile image
It has been a blessing to me to grow up on St. Simons Island and now to rear my own children here. Surrounded by the ocean, marshes, rivers, moss-draped live oaks, a day does not pass where I am not in awe of the beauty around me. I am an artist by nature and education and a licensed real estate professional by trade.

Why they chose this property

This honeymoon beach cottage is located in my favorite part of this beautiful island. The tidal beach here is the most secluded on the island. The sunsets are beautiful. If the tide is low, you can walk down the beach to the west at sunset and see and hear the bagpipers playing at Sea Island's Lodge. If the tide is high, you can watch the sunset from the grassy common area and enjoy the refreshing breezes. The beach cottage is a short walk up the beach or through a tree-lined neighborhood from the the heart of the island with village, pier, lighthouse, parks, restaurants, festivals, concerts, and shops. Although the cottage is close to the activity, it is tucked away on a side avenue by the ocean and surrounded by moss-draped live oaks. I love bird-watching from the front porch while enjoying morning coffee. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood and that of my children have been enjoyed on the beach and beachfront lawns of this part of the island. This part of the island has a rich history of hospitality, I am thrilled to be able to share this special place with others.

What makes this property unique

The location is tops and so is the privacy. The cottage itself is elegant, charming, and spacious for a couple. The front porch is delightful. The high ceilings and many windows are a plus. Fresh flowers, coffee set-up, and a couple of bikes for cruising the island will make your get-away at this honeymoon beach cottage even better.
