About this property

Steps from the Beach! Coast Cottage on SSI with Pool and Beach Amenities!

Winn Pennie is a meticulously maintained cottage on one of the most sought after rental areas on St Simons Island! This neo-classical cottage is located just 250 steps from Coast Cottages ocean side pools, pavilion and private beach access boardwalk.
Two covered balconies encourage you to rock on the front porch or retreat to back deck with sounds of the ocean in the distance. Winn Pennie has high ceilings and plenty of natural light with pine floors throughout. With two master bedrooms, it is the perfect home for a family getaway!
FIRST FLOOR: Front bedroom is a king suite with plenty of space, tv with cable, ensuite bath with tub/shower. Middle bedroom has twin beds with a trundle pull out available. Bathroom with shower. Perfect room for the kids! Back bedroom is a King suite with walk in closet and private bath with shower.
SECOND FLOOR: Open floor plan allows for dining - cooking and family gathering all together! The kitchen is very well stocked with the family eating at home in mind! The large farmhouse dining table can comfortably seat 8-10 people. A half bath is just off the dining area as well. The living room can comfortably seat the whole family and has a large flat screen tv and dvds for the whole family to enjoy. Also provided are board games, playing cards, puzzles and toys for everyone! The breezy front porch has three rocking chairs that offers a great view of the Coast Cottage neighborhood. The rear porch is just off the living room and opens to a wooded preservation area. This is a large private balcony, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails!

Guests enjoy full privileges at Coast Cottage with access to pools, pavilion and beach boardwalk. Our neighborhood is positioned along the Coast Guard beach where the widest stretch of sand is and high tide always provides a place to walk or lounge! (vacation rentals south of Arnold Road do not have any beach access during high tide).

We would love to be our guests at our beloved Win Pennie Cottage! We hope you make lasting memories in our home, just as we have!

Excellent place made for a wonderful stay!

This was our 3rd time visiting SSI but the first time staying at this place. The add said "Immaculate" which I thought was a strong word but in reality it was just that. A spotless and very well appointed house that is in the best spot possible. Steps from the beach, next to my kids' favorite WW2 museum and a short bike ride away from downtown. So many special touches, spots to gather and everything you could ever need in the kitchen. A very inviting and comfortable place with designer touches. The owner was very prompt to reply to any questions and very accommodating. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to be back.

Great stay

This is a beautiful and comfortable property. Perfect for a family of 5. Everything worked, the host provided a number of thoughtful amenities (beach chairs, umbrellas, agon for ferrying supplies, a well-stocked kitchen with clearly labeled storage), and we had a great week. This was our second stay and we will be back. Highly recommended. Thank you Denise!

The Perfect Beach Cottage

A family vacation to remember, made possible in no small part to Denise and her beautiful cottage. Her attention to detail was amazing....we wanted for nothing. The house itself is so welcoming and cozy. It was wonderful coming back to it after an outing. Her recommendations on dining, family activities, and shopping were invaluable. An amazing week for all of us. Thank you!

Great vacation and awesome host!

I stayed at this rental with my husband and our daughters age 4 and 1.5. This is one of the best rentals we have stayed in with a lovely host. The spot is perfect for young children with books and toys and games and has all the beach gear you need for the week. It's a very quick walk to the beach (very manageable with kids). The front and back porches are great places to relax at the end of the day. We would definitely stay again!

Loved everything about our stay at Winn Pennie

Denise is a wonderful host and the property was perfect for our family. The cottage home was very clean, well stocked with everything we could possibly need, plenty of space and great location. Denise was responsive to all questions and provided great suggestions. The location is central on East Beach, with a nice beach and pool just for Coast Cottages. No problem for our teens to bike to the Village but also easy drive to many restaurants and things to do. Wonderful experience overall!

Wonderful stay!

Our family of four had a wonderful time at Denises’s beautiful home. The house was super clean, had tons of room, and had everything we needed to settle in for the week comfortably. It is in a secluded row of beautiful cottages, and a short walk to the beach and pools. Denise was super responsive with questions I had as well. We would definitely come back- 5 stars!

Get away without worry or hassle

I have booked places to stay prior and then found myself at a nearby grocery store supplementing. Everything has truly already been thought out for you at this property…which means that it is impossible to not have what you need. It is so clean and organized that everything is easily located. I booked this quick getaway based on all of the positive reviews, and this place did not disappoint. We will definitely book again in future.

Fun and charming beach house.

Win Pennie was such a fun place to celebrate the 4th of July. We enjoyed strolling on the beach and biking around the island. The house is comfy and spacious, with a well-stocked kitchen. We grilled on the 4th, and got a kick out of watching the decorated golf carts driving by. Thanks for hosting us!

Amazing Vacation

We have stayed at our fair share of beach houses around the country and this was one of our absolute favorites. The cottage is beautiful, just a short walk to the pools/private beach access. It is wonderfully decorated and updated. Inside you’ll find everything you would need for an island getaway. We and the kids had an incredible experience. Denise and her family were so welcoming and engaging. We would highly recommend this place and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Great stay!

Our stay here was wonderful! It was probably the best rental we've stayed in and I definitely hope we'll be back. The house was very clean, furnished beautifully, and the location was great. There were a lot of small touches that made things even better - beach towels, paper towels, toilet paper, bathroom toiletries, beach wagon and tons of toys, games, books, crockpot, etc. These things make the vacation easier. The house was super comfortable and we loved both porches. The walk down to the pool and beach was easy and the pool facilities were very nice. The owner was super responsive and accommodating. I would not hesitate to recommend this house to anyone and plan to come back!

Every single little thing was PERFECT

My family and I spent 5 days at this property and I can’t say enough wonderful things about it! Where do I start because so many things to comment on… First, Denise was truly amazing to work with right from the beginning. She gave numerous recommendations for dining, bike rentals (Bike Dude just awesome to work with), grocery shopping, fishing charter, horseback riding etc. Denise was extremely responsive and really went above and beyond sharing her knowledge of the area as we were first time visitors. Now onto the house, let me start by saying my family and I travel a lot and I’ve never written a glowing review like this one. The house was absolutely spotless and I am extremely picky. The bed linens, towels, furniture were all in as new condition. The decor of the house was something out of a magazine. The house had everything you would need which was so nice not to have to run out and buy garbage bags, toilet paper, tissues, paper towels, dishwasher pods, travel size toiletries and even laundry detergent, she has really thought of everything! We were traveling with 3 young children and the house had everything you would need for the beach, towels, chairs, beach toys, umbrellas … everything! Location, the street the house is located on is right out of a movie. Every house is cuter than the next. The pool and beach are a super short walk from the house, you can see the entrance to pool and beach from the house it’s that close. We rode our bikes into town every day ! We cannot thank Denise enough for a wonderful vacation. We will for sure rent this house again the next time we are in the area.

Lovely Week at Win Pennie

Thank you for a great week at Win Pennie. This was our first trip to St Simons Island and your cottage was a perfect home base for our family of five. Beautiful, modern, well appointed and a great location. We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, lots of bike rides and some great food. Thank you for recommending “The Bike Dude”. Great bikes and top notch customer service. We also enjoyed Uncle Dom’s Market, Southern Soul BBQ, Certified Burger and Moo Cow Ice Cream. We explored Gould’s Inlet at low tide (lots of pelicans), and enjoyed visiting historic Fort Frederica. A ride on the 1940 biplane capped the week and provided a unique perspective of the island. Looking forward to a return trip!
