THE SPACE
This is a no frills, basic beach house from the 1930's - great beach proximity and at a great price. The living space is comfortable and has a nice TV. The kitchen is surprisingly big with an eat in dining area and half bath. Laundry room is located at back door.

Upstairs are two queen bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms. One has a shower only and the other has a combo tub/shower. There is also a sleeper sofa in the living room. All the comforts of home and a great place to put your toes in the sand. You will enjoy your quiet retreat at Conch Shell Lane.

We're proud to offer clean, affordable accommodation with super great beach access, a great base camp for exploring all the island has to offer! This is an older beach cottage with all necessary updates and more, but has not been renovated. For example, upstairs there's a bathroom with an original cast-iron tub. It has a shower curtain that goes all the way around you - bet your house doesn't have this!

Note also for pet travelers - the house is pet friendly (see below) but does not have a fully fenced yard.

We're located mid-beach - halfway between the St Simons Pier Village and East Beach. This stretch of beach is not tide dependent and has plenty of walking distance in both directions. We're walking distance to local restaurant favorites like Crab Daddy's, Barrier Island Brewing, Fiddlers, and Porch.

Great location! Very short walk to the beach

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!

Lovely cottage-y feel

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.

Solid "no frills" accommodation

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. .

Location, privacy, comfortably aged, yet modernized in all the right ways.

This was a return trip to a favorite cottage with outstanding location, wonderful ambiance, and a few quirks due to its age. Wonderful to see that the owner continues to make upgrades on the infrastructure. It is relaxing to stay in a place so clean, yet not in a sterile way, as it is furnished and decorated pleasantly. I already miss it!

Location was great, one block off of beach - easy & fast walk. Owners were great and easy to communicate with. Not disclosed in pricing was the $200 non-refundable pet deposit on top of the $500 refundable deposit. Overall, the house had everything we needed except a pool!

Good choice for our needs

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.

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.

Great location, nice house, well equipped/clean

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.

Photos were very misleading

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.

Disappointing

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.

Great family beach trip

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.

Won’t be staying in this house 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.

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.
