We had a lovely stay over spring break at the Hideaway Cottage and LOVED it. It was in a perfect location and our dog Pearl had as much fun as we did. We would stay again!

Very disappointed in the house itself. The photos posted represented on the VRBO site are very misleading. While we enjoyed the close proximity to the beach, the house really needs an overhaul and updates. The Primary bedroom mattress/box springs were pretty dirty…just too many to list. Thankfully it was a short stay and we did enjoy the short walk to the beach. Other than that, the price per night, we could’ve stayed in something better.

The photos were deceiving. There was no yard for our dog. Instead four houses on one lot. I have never seen so many extension cords in any house I’ve been in (living room and master bedroom). It’s an old summer house that’s been converted to a year round home. The furnace is in the master bedroom’s closet. The kitchen was the only comfortable room in the house. AND, the smell. We left a week early because the musty smell was too much for us. Our clothes that hung in the bedroom closet smelled musty still when we arrived home three days later.

This older house just had just the right balance of updated kitchen and baths with lovely old features and construction quirks left undisturbed. In addition, the location was ideal. Combined with excellent communication from the management company, and super cleanliness, it was a vacation stay I dearly wanted to extend.

Wonderful week on St. Simon’s Island with the family! The location of this cottage can’t be beat - literally across the street from beach access. The beach was never overly crowded and was the perfect place for a morning walk with the dogs and a midday swim. It’s also walking distance from several restaurants including Crabdaddys and Barrier Island Brewing.
The cottage itself is older but very cute and well maintained. The ice maker had some issues but a call to Lighthouse and it was resolved quickly.
We will definitely try to return to this cottage next year! We may make this our annual family vacation destination.

We wanted a place close to the beach and the village since we had a booth at Art Under the Oaks in Postell Park. Being puppy friendly, we made the short walk to wake up and put the sun to bed on a daily basis. The house met our needs, and my family agreed that we would stay there again.

As always, we enjoyed our trip to St Simons Island. However we will not be staying in this rental house again. The location was great, across the street from the beach. However the house itself was not good.
Upon first entering the house we noticed a VERY strong musty/mildew smell. You kind of get used to it but your clothes smell like it when you leave the house. The house has been fixed up a bit but definitely was not well done. One shower is inside a claw foot tub so a bit awkward to shower in. The other shower is rather small but worked well enough I suppose. There are older window A/C units in the bedrooms, one of which didn’t work well. The house had dog hair all through it. We had our dog there ( doesn’t shed) so we don’t mind a little hair but it shouldn't be that bad after the prior ‘cleaning’. Also, one bathroom door knob didn’t work so you couldn’t close the door for privacy, and that bathroom is in the kitchen, so not good.
One bedroom door was basically hanging off the hinges so difficult to close. There are also some severely uneven/ sloped floors upstairs. My wife said it reminded her of a carnival funhouse. The ceilings are also very low. I’m 6’ and hit my head on several ceiling fans. The tv in the living room only got 5 channels so basically useless.
Lastly, the house is tucked away in the very back of a very tight alley making parking difficult. I have an F250 truck and getting in and out of the property was a bit tricky.

Enjoyed staying at this cute little beach cottage! Very accurate description of online listing. Location was great - very short walk to the beach and close to the village. Perfect for our group (2 couples and our dogs). Would definitely be interested in staying at this location again simply because it is so conveniently located.

We loved our stay, would absolutely stay again!
This location is great, the beach and great restaurants are so close within walking distance. Lighthouse vacation rentals are great to work with and quick to answer any questions. The property was comfortable and well decorated. Great choice!

Excellent location! Lot of trees around (mosquitos!) so house little dirty on outside. Well equipped kitchen and everything quite clean. Enough supplies present (toiletpaper etc.). We would have liked the master bedrm to have King bed rather than 2 dressers and a table. Excellent service and quick responses from Lighthouse! Beach at Myrtle St. 2 minute walk away. Bathrooms very small but they work and were clean, the one can loose the tub for sure. All in all we had lovely few days.

We loved our stay here with our family of four, plus our dog. Super short walk to the beach—closer than I had expected, even. Loved the tucked away little lane it was on, with the shade trees, etc. Very nice inside, clean. Would stay again!

Great heavy-wooded neighborhood of small cottages. Short walk to beach - though nearby beach is not usable during high tide -- but short car ride north to spectacular east beach fixes that. Also short walk to several nice restaurants. House is simple, but clean, well equipped, and comfortable. We would stay again..

Amazing!
The house was so cute and cozy, exactly as described and had everything we needed that we may have forgotten to bring! The location was INCREDIBLE for a quick walk to the beach!! Really hoping to stay here again!!

Cute house, great location!
This house was just the right size for my family and is in a perfect location with easy access to the beach as well as proximity to restaurants and shopping. The kitchen is large with everything you could possibly need and the house was well-stocked with supplies. Bathrooms were very clean and the bedrooms were cool and comfortable at night. One thing that would make the house even more family-friendly would be an additional television in at least one of the bedrooms. I also felt like the carpet upstairs was a little dated and would be better with a hardwood or tile floor, just because of all the sand coming through! We had a wonderful week on St. Simons and will certainly consider staying here again in the future!

If you got pets and are In a pinch.
The living room and kitchen were nice but the bedrooms are dated. The property is in a great location but the outdoor space is bad to non-existent. We needed a place that accepted pets so we had limited choices. For the price not great.

A Unique Experience!
A well preserved older cottage. Clean and comfortable. Watch your head with lower ceilings especially while climbing the stairs. Nicely hidden down a dead end short drive away from traffic. Short walk to the beach. We really enjoyed our home for the week.

The house is great and well stocked. It is a very short walk to the beach and close to restaurants and the pier. I did wish it had a better outdoor seating area.

Very small
It was nice but very small. 2 and 1/2 baths without a full size shower. It’s more of a beach cabin. Ceilings low and stairs are very tight. Had air but you need to use the window units in both bedrooms to keep it cool.

Loved it!!
House is so cute , clean and very comfortable. Perfectly stocked with everything you need! Except maybe an outside swing 🤔�😉�. Its in a great location to the beach... just mere steps. We love St. Simons and really enjoyed our stay. Only bummer was we brought our dog here to this particular location because East Beach was supposed to be dog friendly during summer season all day. The rules have changed to 6p to 9a. We had to drive over to Jekyll Island for the beach. Other then that the house is perfect and lighthouse vacations (Ryan) was really great to deal with. We really enjoyed our vacation.

Our stay at Conch Shell
Upon opening the door we were all hit with strong odor that was a mixture of heavy cleaning supplies and mildew. The smell stayed into the night. My family was tired from drive but myself and my daughter were both bothered into the night by the smells. I reached out the one of the property managers and he seemed receptive but really offered no solution at that time. Communication and resolution was spotty over the next 24hrs. I was then told they could bring in an air purifier. At that time, the smell had either dissipated/we became used to it. Other serious issues with the property became apparent. Neither of the upstairs bedroom doors could be shut properly so neither could lock. That made it a serious hazard for my young toddler and the stairs. I had to be hyper vigilant the entire time. The doors both open out into the hall so I had to have someone place a heavy suitcase in front of the door and then had to have them remove it to leave the room. Very irritating. Also the shower/tub set up in one of the bathrooms was dangerous and gross. The shower liner was a thin cheap plastic way too long and it made it a very dangerous slip hazard during entering and exiting the shower. Also the floor beneath the shower was warped from water. That could be possibly a source of the bad smell. Above one of the beds upstairs there was a small opening into the attic space. Every time you opened the door to that room, because of the strong air flow when the A/C was running, it would pull the door and cause that little attic space to pop up. When that happened mouse poop and random dried leaves would fall onto the bed below.
It was nice to be close to the beach but the gross factors definitely outweighed the beach proximity.
I would not recommend this house to any friends or family.

Our family enjoyed spending July 4th on SSI.
We took a leap of faith booking this property at the last minute for the week of July 4th. Our children are 15 & 8. They asked to spend a week at a less crowded beach in a house rather than the condos we usually stay in at Hilton Head or Destin. I couldn’t understand why it was still available, except that it only had a few recent reviews. The cottage was a little quirky, but precious. It was probably one of the most well equipped kitchens of any VRBO we’ve ever stayed in - it even had a great pizza cutter and ice cream scoop. We had a few issues with the AC and housekeeping. Jonathan was kind, extremely apologetic and very accommodating to get matters resolved so we could enjoy our visit. The location was perfect - just across the street from two beach accesses. The covered area in the back offered a place to clean off our beach gear and rinse off before going in each day. We had a wonderful time on SSI - it’s our new favorite beach vacation spot!
