The property was wonderful; nice and clean with enough of the normal stuff (plates, towels, etc.) to enjoy without thinking about the small stuff. Right near the ocean, so we got out in the early morning so we could walk out to get our steps with a cup of coffee. The island was good but also close to St. Simons and antiquing in Brunswick. We even took a day trip to Okefenokee swamp and a back water boat ride. A great place to stay in a great spot in GA.

The accomodations were clean and nicely decorated by the owner. We enjoyed good food at Tortuga Jacks, the Wharf (sooo good), Zachary's Riverhouse, Corridor Z and the Sunrise Cafe. We would come back and stay a week. this was not my first time at the Cottages and I would return for a longer stay with friends who want to come.

Sweet Getaway

We were excited to introduce friends to our favorite beach/island. This home was wonderful. The kitchen was well equipped. I especially appreciated the extra hanging hooks that were located in all the bathrooms and even some in the rooms. Given that you cannot hang towels or wet suites on balconies and porches, providing extra places to hang wet things was brilliant. Big thank you! It was great having a few bikes for our use as well as several beach chairs in the storage room. The house was very cozy and not a far walk from from the pool and beach access.

Lovely Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We very much enjoyed our second stay on the Cottages property and hosted all of our children and grandchildren with two adjacent cottages. It was very comfy and in great condition. Lots of places to relax and visit. Appliances in wonderful working order and enjoyed the lovely porches and furniture to relax on after a day biking and at the pool. Tad was very quick to assist with a minor cabinet issue and no problems at all. We have truly found our family tradition!

Mostly great

Everything was great EXCEPT the property bylaws preventing the storage of trailers on the property… my condo didn’t happen to have a garage, and despite having a two car drive way where my trailer I used to tow my golf cart would easily fit, I was not allowed to stow the trailer on the property… this would be fine if the property offered any suggestions as to where to put the trailer during our stay, but the rep I spoke with ( actually they texted me and wouldn’t answer the phone) offered little or no help. The end result was I was forced into having my trailer stored down the road at another property… it just seems ridiculous when golf carts are pretty much the norm these days that this high quality property wouldn’t be prepared in any way to accommodate, or even deal with, these types of situations
