This was our second time staying here. We loved it! Kevin was very helpful throughout our visit. There was a new addition of the cutest outside shower that was great for rinsing off after beach! Highly recommend this homey, lovely cottage.

Wonderful experience.
We come to St Simon’s East Beach often and this was our first time to rent this house. It was a wonderful house with a big screened porch. All aspects were top notch. Now our favorite stay.

East Beach wedding trip
The house was perfect. It easily accommodated our extended family and the bonus suite over the garage is great as well. East Beach is lovely and the house is only down the street from beach access.

East Beach stay
My wife and I and her 3 sisters and their husbands met for a get-together. We were delighted with the accommodations! It is a nice quiet neighborhood, plenty of places to sit and visit, the house is clean and has a very well stocked kitchen for cooking and serving meals. Kenyon K

Family vacation
The Beach Cottage was perfect for our week at the beach. The property was exactly as described and the suite over the garage was a great option. The beach was easy to access. We were especially impressed with the kitchen: plenty of dinnerware and cookware. Kevin was extremely helpful with check-in and answered any questions we had. He responded immediately to resolving an issue that required some maintenance. We highly recommend the cottage for future rentals. It was an excellent choice for our 3 generation family of 7.
