Communication with Laura was easy and she was quick to answer any questions and address concerns.
Property exceeded expectations. Exactly as described and check-in was right on time and easy. Neighborhood is quiet and very safe and close to beach. The house is beautiful and stocked with anything you could ever need and all top of the line. The outside area with the Porches and pool/hot tub and fire pit so serene. The property is spotless. Can't say enough good things about our stay and hope to be back ! Thank you !

This was the perfect house for my family to gather for my daughter's wedding in St. Simons. Most of my family travelled from Canada and it was the most perfect place for us to enjoy the festivities and our visit together. The house had everything we could possibly need and it was so organized it was easy to find everything. Would definitely rent this again!

Our family's first visit to the island to celebrate a big birthday. The home was gorgeous and large enough to accommodate all of us comfortably. I was happy to see the kitchen was fully stocked with all the essential utensils to satisfy all of our foodies for the food prep. The kids enjoyed the pool and spa every day..
Definitely need a golf cart to get to beach. Would love to visit again.

This house was phenomenal! So clean and all 10 of us were all able to spread out as needed, but also gather together comfortably. The hosts were very responsive. Close proximity to the beach. It was perfect for our retreat and compliments on the home were frequent during our visit. Highly recommend!

Our family had a wonderful time together. There were 14 of us, 4 generations, ages 10 months to 79 years old. We have visited a number of places and vacation homes over the last several years, and this is one of our favorites! St. Simon's Island and this home are absolutely beautiful! The owners of this home have thought of everything and provide many amenities. The accommodations are very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. We ate many meals around the large dining room table. The porch area over looking the pool is so inviting. Everyone enjoyed the pool and hot tub! This home is close to so many activities. We loved our stay here and definitely would consider staying in this beautiful home again!

This property was perfect for our family! The layout of the entire home suited us. We used all of the bedrooms, and each couple and the cousins had their own spaces. We cooked 6 of the 7 nights, all of our breakfasts, and most lunches. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, we could all eat together, and relaxing in the tv area and outside area was wonderful. We all loved the pool, and our grandkids spent hours swimming.
This home was so beautiful and way more than I expected! The location was great! We could walk to the pier, the village shops, and the beach. Groceries/supplies were a short drive. We love St. Simons Island and sound love to return.

We stayed at this house with three separate families. We had a total of twelve people including seven adults and five kids ranging in age from two to fifteen. This house had absolutely everything we needed. The pool and hot tub was amazing, and all the kids loved it. We were able to walk to some restaurants, shops, and there is a park right across the street. Everyone had their own rooms and bathrooms. We used the kitchen several times to cook meals. The kitchen was fully sticked with everything you need. If we head back to St. Simon's Island, this is where we will stay!

This house was perfect for our family gathering! Everyone from 20 year old grandson to 82 year old grandparents enjoyed this house. Fantastic layout, clean and everything needed. Having a screened porch and pool area gave us lots of options, as well as a nice walk to the beach. Plenty of room to have meals together. And convenient to get to different areas on SSI. Highly recommend this home. Thanks to Laura and Ricky for a great stay.

Highly recommend!

Our extended family (ages 7-99!) we’re able to share a week together in this beautiful home. The house was absolutely perfect - everything you needed and more. The outside areas were well used, loved & napped in ;) Thank you for letting us getaway and relax.

We had a great stay. Home is beautiful, new, kitchen is well appointed. Lots of space for our group of 3 families with 10 children total. We really appreciated the use of the pack n play and high chair onsite so that we didn't have to bring. Pool is large and was a hit, glad we paid for pool heat. Owners were very responsive.
The house is on Demere, which is a busy street. However, it is set back from the main road (2 other houses on the street side). This helped keep our children away from traffic if they wanted to play in the driveway. Would have been nice to have a larger stock of toilet paper, trash bags, and laundry detergent. Always a bummer to have to run out to purchase these things during vacation, especially when the nightly cost is high.

The property was perfect for our family getaway for Thanksgiving. The pictures in the listing definitely understate the quality of the home and it exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend it for any large group considering a St. Simon’s Island stay!

Everything was great from start to finish. The owners we great with any questions we had. The home was beautiful. All amenities were A+. Beds, linens, bath towels even the silverware were top of the line. The pool and hot tub were great. The location was incredible. You could be anywhere you wanted to go in 5 minutes. We would absolutely stay at this home again

This was the best VRBO rental experience we have ever had. Blue Island Cottage is even better than the photos. We were a family of ten with three generations. There were 3 teens included and they never complained of boredom. The pool and hot tub were fantastic and the location was so close to the beach, restaurants and shops. Everything about this beautiful home is well maintained and has a very well stocked kitchen. We all agreed we were sad to leave and hope to return in the future! Thank you Laura and Rick for providing the perfect retreat.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Spent lots of time outside and in the pool area. Home was modern but with a cozy feel. Anyone who decides to book here won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful spot
We enjoyed a wonderful week. The house is as good or better than the pictures portray. The pool and porch areas add so much to the beach trip, and both are first-class. The grill is also a gift as well as the fire pit. The outside areas flow nicely with the other living spaces inside the house.
The only detail to add is that you must think through the bathroom situation with multiple families. The kings upstairs share a bathroom while the other bedrooms upstairs have their own en suite. The half bath is not as close to the downstairs queen as we expected. The downstairs primary suite is extra nice and the best catch (surpassing other upstairs kings as you would expect).
Owners are very thoughtful and responsive. It was our families favorite house in years!

Amazing vacation
My family all agrees this was absolutely our best family vacation experience. From the beautifully decorated home, the awesome pool and spa and the great evenings around the fire pit! The kitchen had everything we needed, which says alot since we had 2 professional chefs with us! Plenty of room and great screened porch!
Hopefully we will be back! Thank you Rick and Laura!

We have rented several houses, all with pools, in the last 26 years. The family pronounced Blue Island Cottage the best, definitely their favorite. From the 6-year-old through myself at 82, we were so pleased with the house and big pool. We found everything we needed in the well-stocked kitchen, loved being able to all eat together between the table and stools, and furnishing were comfortable. All want to go back next year!

We had the best stay at the Blue Island Cottage. We went with three families with 7 kids 5 and under. It was perfect for everyone to have their own space. Beautifully decorated and the pool was amazing. Having multiple rooms with king beds was a nice touch and prevented fighting over rooms! We barely left the backyard as we were having such a great time. Laura and Rick were great to deal with. I would highly recommend this house to anyone! We plan to book again for next year if they’ll have us back!

It was a meticulously kept home with all the amenities you could want. It was very helpful to have the start up items like soap, toilet paper etc. You didn’t need to rush off to the store right away. Everything was as presented on the website. We enjoyed family time with ages 1-70. Close to the parks, beach, restaurants, grocery store and ice cream. It wasn’t too far of a walk to the beach but you have to be careful of the traffic. We loved the screened in porch and pool area. All of the adults had difficulties getting the dishwasher to work except on the auto wash which was a very long cycle. Directions might help. We would definitely visit again and more than likely will, next year. Thank you to Laura and Rick!
