East Beach Cottage is the ideal vacation home for several couples or an extended family. The screened porch is a lovely space to enjoy family time when you aren't out enjoying the beach- which is an easy walk. Kevin is an amazing host and we have already booked to return next year!

Long Weekend at St Simons

Our stay was terrific. It’s our 2nd time to this location and it was just as advertised. Our stay overlapped the hurricane that luckily went to the south but the owner was very flexible with check in and out to help us avoid the potential storm. Would strongly recommend if your planning a trip to East Beach.

BEST house on east beach!

This is a lovely beach cottage that is quintessential East beach st. Simons. It was the perfect spot for my family of four (with twin infants) plus grandparents in the garage guest house. Everyone was able to have their own space, with updated bathrooms and a wonderful screened porch. The house had all the essentials, including the kitchen which had more than I expect from a rental. Great side screened porch, and outdoor shower was clutch for post beach rinses. Would love to stay here again!

Perfect family beach trip

We are repeat guests, and our stay gets better each time. We can’t wait for the next visit. We enjoyed the screened in porch and living areas as well as close proximity to the beach. The layout is perfect for our group - 5 adults in the main house and 2 adults and a baby in the guest house.

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.

Family beach trip

We loved this property, especially the front porch and the large screened in porch! Our kids had a ball playing foosball in the converted garage. The proximity to the beach, the village, playground, etc. was terrific. However we found that for our family, renting a golf cart was absolutely essential for hauling chairs, kids, etc to the beach.

Lovely well stocked cottage

Online pics don’t show how much room there actually is! We loved the front porch and screened porch off the kitchen. We all played ping pong and other games in the garage and appreciated the extra full size fridge for beverages. The walk to the beach isn’t bad even with the scorching hot temps. Kevin touched base with us upon check-in and when we had any questions he responded right away. Great stay!

My family and I had a relaxing, comfortable stay. The home offers excellent amenities and a location that makes beaching and sight-seeing super easy.
