About this house rental

Nestled in Saint Simons Island, this lovely house for $822 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Historic Oceanfront Cottage - Great for families- Short walk to Village Cottage: 2781 sq. ft. Sleeps: 19 Bedrooms: 6 Bathrooms: 4 Min. stay: 3-7 nights Over 100 years old, this historic home is one of the earliest properties on St. Simons Island and has been owned by the same family since construction. It is a beach home in the truest sense of the word - one which has been moved back from the ocean twice over its history, leaving a grassy lot in front of the cottage and a beautiful beach view from the large front porch. The property includes a private beach access and a private deck on the beach. The beach house is in a fabulous location within walking distance to the village, lighthouse, and many restaurants. The Space Drive in and park in a private, shaded lot with carport for two and additional space for five or more cars. As you enter the house from the back door, you will step back in time as your first sight is the dining area's antique round table that will seat approximately 10 people. The fully equipped kitchen off to the left will allow you to make your own meals. Laundry facilities are enclosed on the back porch. Leaving the dining area, you enter a great hall that leads to the family room. Off the hall and the family room are four bedrooms, three of which contain queen beds. The other bedroom contains two twin beds and is on a light and airy windowed side porch. Upstairs, a large dormitory style bedroom offers a queen bed, 5 twin beds, and a double futon. There is a full bathroom upstairs with a bathtub. Two more full bathrooms are downstairs off the bedrooms, one with a tub/shower combo and one with shower only. Off the back porch is the "Honeymoon Suite" (as the family calls it): a separate, detached bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom with shower only. All of the mattresses are brand new. The house is decorated in a colorful, summer style befitting the beach, and furnishings include many professionally restored antique pieces. As you come back from the beach, clean the sand off in the enclosed, outdoor shower. Then walk through the house, with a cool drink in hand, to the house-width front porch. On the porch, you will find rocking chairs, tables, a porch swing and a hammock. This is our favorite place for visiting with family and friends, enjoying the ocean view and breeze, or taking a nap! This house just calls for a large group, a couple of families, or a family reunion. Come be transported back to a simpler time!

Not a five star by any means but is great for families. The view and proximity to the beach can’t be beat. Plenty of charm but some of the furniture could use a refresh. It is a great location for bike riding and walking on the beach.

Great location, house as described. Other than the bathroom layout downstairs, this house was perfect for our needs. Front porch was perfect! We got very lucky for late October and were able to be on the beach both days we were there.

This house is amazing! We loved the view,the short walk to the Light House and the shops. There were 3 generations of us,from 4 years to 65 years, there was enough room that we were not on top of each other. The guys spent most of the night fishing in front of the house,everyone enjoyed the beach. I loved the front porch, as I am a rocking chair kind of gal,lol. We are already talking about doing this again next year,I would recommend this to everyone., thankyou for a wonderful stay.

So my 3 girls met up with my wife and I with there kids. All the kids were under 11yrs old. Everyone had a great time. Kids loved the beach even though the water was to cold they built sand castles every day. There was so much room that you would never know there was 14 of us there. The restaurants were all wonderful. The Christmas lights and tree lit up the village. And the pier and light house topped it off. We will definitely be back!!

We had a great time and enjoyed the porch, deck, private beach access and convenience to village. This 100 year old cottage was comfortable even as freezer died and garbage disposal didn’t work (thankfully the central AC did).

We had a family vacation with 4 families staying at this house - a total of 17 people ranging from 2 - 73. The beds were comfortable, and the location from the beach and downtown was great. We felt a bit misled about the bathrooms. The listing states 4 full baths. While technically true, 1 bathroom had only a tub, which made it basically not a full bathroom for adults. Some families don’t mind being wall to wall people and everyone sharing everything. We are not like that. The kitchen was really small with people on top of each other and not enough room for more than about 9 at the table without elbow room. The porch was nice, but the door leading to the porch did not open easily (ie it took about 4-5 turns of the handle and pulling hard on the door to finally get the door to open EVERY TIME - which was a lot of times). Some people got so fed up with the door they just walked around the house every time. The room with twin beds is off of another bedroom, making it a room that was less usable for our group. Also, several of the rooms had pretty weak A/C, which meant they were pretty hot and humid. The kids all had a blast in the upstairs dorm-like room, so that was nice. Linens were in rough shape as was most of the stuff in the kitchen. The DVD player didn’t work. Lightbulbs were missing, some were burned out. Again, if you’re a family that doesn’t mind everyone sharing everything and being kind of on top of each other and just looking for a place to crash, don’t hesitate to book. If you want a nicer property and more space, you may want to look elsewhere. Was it overall a good vacation? Yes. Were the beds comfortable? Yes. Was the house close to the beach? Yes. Was the showering and toilet situation a pain? Yes. Would we stay there again? No. We would opt for a place with 4 full baths with showers and that is a little more well kept.

Everything was great until we opened the lock box & opened the door to the Dining Room. There was a plastic Coolwhip container on the floor & a note on the table stating (Leak in ceiling)! Thinking maybe it was from rain & it would clear up soon ... NOT!!!!! When we left this morning it was still dripping!!! Not the first call about it or no repair person stopped by!!! It was so unsanitary to drip right beside the table where 11 adults were trying to eat!! Not sure but think it was coming from upstairs bathroom!!! Gross!!! I cannot believe that this house can even be on the market to rent, until this is repaired!!
