Atlantic Cottage - Private Pool, 200 Steps to Beach & Walkable Dining

Welcome to Atlantic Cottage, a beautifully appointed four-bedroom St. Simons Island vacation rental in a convenient South Island location where beach days, local dining, and island favorites are all close at hand. Beach access at the end of the street is approximately 200 steps from the home, while several favorite island restaurants, coffee stops, shops, and a local brewery are within walking distance. Add a private pool, screened porch, and the nearby King and Prince area, and Atlantic Cottage offers an easy home base for families and groups of up to nine guests to enjoy the best of St. Simons Island.

Several favorite St. Simons Island restaurants, coffee stops, shops, and a local brewery within walking distance
Private 7-by-18-foot swimming pool surrounded by lush landscaping, with optional heating
Screened back porch with comfortable seating and a TV for relaxed outdoor living
First-floor Primary Bedroom with king bed, pool views, and private en suite bathroom
Spacious open living, kitchen, and dining areas with a 72-inch HD Smart TV, large kitchen island, and wet bar with dedicated ice maker
Convenient South Island setting near the King and Prince area, Pier Village, and other St. Simons Island favorites
Comfortable Coastal Living

Atlantic Cottage was designed with time together in mind. The open first-floor living, kitchen, and dining area creates a welcoming central gathering space for family meals, conversation, games, and relaxed evenings after a day at the beach.

Comfortable seating surrounds the 72-inch HD Smart TV in the living room, while the spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances, generous prep space, and a large center island with seating for four. The nearby dining table seats six, giving guests plenty of room for breakfast before the beach, casual dinners at home, or an evening of games.

A wet bar near the kitchen includes a dedicated ice maker, a convenient extra for filling beach-day coolers or preparing drinks to enjoy beside the pool.

The first-floor Primary Bedroom offers a king bed, HD Smart TV, views toward the pool and backyard, a walk-in closet, and a private en suite bathroom with double vanities and a walk-in shower.
​​​​​​​
Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and another sitting area. One guest bedroom features a king bed, another offers a queen bed, and the bunk room includes twin-over-twin bunks with a twin trundle. All four bedrooms have HD Smart TVs, giving everyone a comfortable place to unwind at the end of the day.

Private Pool & Outdoor Living

Outdoor living is one of Atlantic Cottage's standout features. The screened back porch extends the living space outdoors with comfortable seating and its own TV, creating an inviting spot for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, or an easy evening at home.

Just beyond the porch, lush landscaping surrounds the private 7-by-18-foot swimming pool. Cool off after a morning at the beach, spend a leisurely afternoon poolside, or enjoy dinner at home with the gas grill nearby.

An outdoor shower provides a convenient place to rinse off after a day at the beach or pool.

Pool heating is available for an additional $75 per night and must be purchased for the entire reservation. Pool heat must be requested and prepaid at least 48 hours before arrival.

Walk to the Beach, Dining & Island Favorites
Atlantic Cottage's South Island location is one of the home's biggest advantages. Beach access is located at the end of the street, approximately 200 steps from the cottage, making morning walks, spontaneous afternoons on the sand, and sunset strolls especially easy.
The neighborhood also puts guests within walking distance of several favorite St. Simons Island restaurants, coffee stops, shops, and a local brewery, making it easy to leave the car behind for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or an evening out.

The nearby King and Prince area adds another recognizable island landmark to the neighborhood, with additional public beach access located nearby. Please note that a stay at Atlantic Cottage does not include access to the King and Prince's private pools or other resort-only amenities.
Pier Village, the St. Simons Island Pier, Lighthouse Museum, Neptune Park, additional dining, shopping, and other popular island experiences are also within easy reach.

Whether your St. Simons Island vacation centers around beach days, walking out for dinner, exploring local favorites, relaxing beside your private pool, or unwinding on the screened porch, Atlantic Cottage offers an exceptionally convenient setting for enjoying island life.

AMAZING Property and Location

We could not have asked for a better house for a short weekend getaway to St. Simons. The house was immaculate and quite-honestly more impressive than the photos online. The location with public beach access and restaurants all within a 2-block radius is hard to beat. I have already recommended this property to friends and will look to stay here again on my next trip to SSI.

We absolutely loved the house. Perfect spot to walk to the beach. Restaurants and shopping close by. We had a golf cart and would recommend renting one if you don’t have one. Hoping to return next year. The pool looked small but don’t let it fool you - it was a perfect fit for all of us.
