Such a cute beach cottage - perfect for a family of 4! Enjoyed the sounds of the ocean from the screened in porch and the view from the deck! The short 5 min walk over the dunes made it easy to get to the beach! 

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay!  We hope to see you soon!  Please let us know if we can be of any assistance in the future.

We LOVED the screened in porch and house proximity to the beach. GREAT location!!! It would have been nice to have patio furniture on the 2nd story deck that was not all broken so we could sit up there and enjoy the view.

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay.  We have ordered new furniture.  Thank you for letting us know.  Please let us know if we can be of any assistance in the future.

Great weekend getaway!

by Jennifer P.

My husband and I wanted a quick getaway and this beach cottage was perfect. The location is steps away from the dunes and the beach so a great sunrise or sunset stroll is easy. The property has a great elevated deck that was perfect for a glass of wine with views of the beach. Close to restaurants and bars in the cute downtown area. Property managers were very responsive with check in and check out was very easy!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for posting such a complimentary review! We look forward to having you back as our guests again!

Great location

by Susan W.
Loved this cute house with a fabulous observation tower, screen porch and brick inside walls! Location perfect for everything. Neighbors friendly and helpful. Only disappointment was the extra cleaning fee for our small dog and no extra cleaning done from last pets and renters. Lots of hair, a medicine, flip flop, etc. under the bed. 30 minutes of cleaning bin of vacuum from accumulated dog hair, etc. Property management made excuse of quick turnover - not acceptable.

Great Cottage

by Recent Guest
Home was very clean and in a quiet location in East Beach. The exposed brick is a neat look. Steps away from the beach walkover, and maybe a 5 minute walk in total from the door of the house through the dunes to get to the beach. Lots of dishes, cooking utensils and pots/pans. Downstairs was always nice and cool, but the upstairs loft tended to be warmer than downstairs (there is an A/C unit up there that we did not adjust during our stay) We had a wonderful time and we will definitely stay here again.

GREAT LITTLE BEACH HOUSE

We love this place and have rented it many times. It's a short walk to the best beach on SSI. Perfect for a couple with or without kids. Hose outside for washing the sand off of your dog.

Cottage by the Sea

by Kevin P.
The rental cottage we stayed at was in a very good location close to the beach. The rooms were comfortable with the exception of being difficult to control the temperature. Due to the size of the cottage and the type of HVAC system it was too cold or too hot.

Gem on East Beach

by Tracey W.
Let me start by saying we will be back to this cozy cottage. The cottage is truly a gem and the East Beach location is our personal favorite. The path to the beach next to the cottage is a walk through the Dunes area which flows out to East Beach. For a change of pace, you can also access the beach if you want to take a quick walk through the neighborhood and then hit the beach from 13th street. The beach was not crowded at all. I highly recommend taking in the beautiful sunrises. The cottage even had a couple of beach chairs we used so we did not have to rent them. There is 1 full bathroom and a half bath so I would not recommend more than 2-4 adults. The cottage is close to horseback riding, kayaking, Gould's inlet, and restaurants ....yet the cottage is at the end of a residential cul-de-sac so it is so peaceful and private. Walk right out of the master bedroom to the private deck next to the cottage. Every night we had a great star show, with two great views of the ocean and surrounded by palm trees. Loved it!!!! I started and ended the day with my husband on that deck. My son and girlfriend loved hanging out in the loft and were able to hook up their switch and Xbox to the TV in the great room to play at night. It was perfect for all of us and I can't wait to come back.

Laid Back and Easy

by Recent Guest

We love staying here because of location (easy beach access) and it's dog friendly. Appreciate the rustic vibes of property, but possibly time for some simple upgrades such as cleaner bed linens, carpets, kitchen appliances (specifically coffee maker). I also noticed some mold in the bathroom. 

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are glad you love staying at this friendly cottage. We will bring the upgrades you mentioned to the attention of the owner. We will address the housekeeping of the bathroom with the housekeepers. Thank you again for choosing Georgia Coast Realty.

4210 Twelfth East Beach

by Randall H.
One of the best times at SSI in recent years. Might have been because of the isolation for the last six weeks, but we were very glad to be in a place that holds so many great memories over the last 30 years! Sarah at GA Coast was super helpful with our unpredictable work schedules: we made the reservation, cancelled, then remade it! Thanks so much for all of your help.

I LOVE This Cottage!

by Margaret L.
This cottage is my home away from home. I am comfortable and happy here. I so enjoy the screened porch, the deck and the proximity to the beach. The Neighbors on 12th st. are "the best"! Also love the flowering bushes, especially the jasmine in April. It is great working with Sarah at GA coast too! Needless to say...I love being here and the cottage is perfect for me.

Steps from the beach

by Recent Guest

This quaint 1950’s East Beach cottage is perfect for a couple and for is beautifully decorated with artwork adorning the walls and tasteful accent pieces throughout.The cottage is very bright and cheery in a peaceful and beautiful area. The nice screened porch has 2 large ceiling fans, making it perfect for rainy days, morning coffee & outside dining . A very comfortable den with fireplace and a small kitchen on the left of the stairs leading to the loft. While small, the kitchen has every cooking utensil/ pots/pans needed plus a small washer/dryer. The large master is located to the right of the stairs and a full bath joins the kitchen and the master. The bath still needs some updating, but I’m sure this is something the new owners have on their remodel to do list- If was fine for us, though. You can access the nice side yard and observation deck from the outside or via a master bedroom door. The outdoor shower can be accessed from an extra bathroom door.The observation deck is really nice early in the morning and at is very sunny during the day but has a table and umbrella that provides shade. There are two houses now built in front of this cottage, but the observation deck allows you to peak between the homes for an ocean view. An arbor hedge is in front of the screen porch that provides privacy from the homes built in front. The upstairs loft features several twin beds and a half bath, and it has its own air conditioning unit as does the den and master- All a/c units were quiet and worked extremely well!! To get to the beach,walk only 20 yards on 12th St to a path that crosses the first dunes and winds past the high tide inlet to the second dunes where the ocean is- About 3-5 min walk depending on what you are carrying. Ga Coast Realty was excellent to work with(Thank you Sarah) & you wont find a better pet friendly cottage this nice & this close to the beach for this price! We’ll

4210 12th Street

by Douglas D.

We had a great week at St. Simons Island, our first visit. We had found this house with internet search. The house was immaculate, very well stocked with all we needed. It was as described, we were very pleased and would pick this same house for any future return visits. Georgia Coast was great to deal with. 

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the thoughtful review. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance in the future.

Love this cottage!!!!!

by Margaret L.
I have stayed at this cottage, managed by Georgia Coast Realty for several years now. I LOVE this authentic early east beach cottage which has a great deal of charm and authenticity. The decor is lovely and beach friendly. The screen porch is an ideal spot for just relaxing or entertaining. The separate deck with beach views is fabulous for soaking in the sun and or entertaining small groups, especially in early evening when the sky is so beautiful. The cottage 's location to the beach cannot be beat as I am partial to the Gould's Inlet end of East Beach. Needless to say, it is heaven for me and my guests.

Fantastic Short Trip

by James T.
The wife and I were here for only a few days to celebrate a very belated anniversary trip. The weather was warm and crisp, just what we needed. SSI is a fantastic low key area that is extremely dog friendly...which is a great benefit. The rental was just steps away from the beach access, so could barely get much closer to beach front. All in all it was a great place, however I would be concerned with the cooling system in the heat of the summer (just speculating here as it was fine for the low 80s we experienced)...everything is nice and as expected. My wife and I felt the rental process was a bit "clunky" by today's standards, as you have to wait a day or two on a response as to actually acquiring the rental or not, which was to ideal for planning a somewhat last minute trip, and based on the payment breakdown the management fee was a lion's share of the cost...which is a bit high for the property. All in all it was a solid rental in a great location. SSI will be a destination for us again in the future and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

A quiet escape May 8- 13 -2016

by Jane A.
Wonderful older brick cottage, very clean. We were able to take our 2 dogs, nice because they are allowed on the beach, in leash, until Memorial weekend. Very quiet location, lovely palm trees , honeysuckle trellis and sweet smelling flowers. We did have a view from the raised deck, photos need updating , trees have grown taller. The inside is much nicer than what is shown in the photos and the porch has furniture and a dining table. Loved the outside shower connected to bathroom by a door, would have been nice to have a raised wooden platform to keep your feet off the sandy flooring.There were plenty of dishes, flat wear , pots, pans, etc. Bring any staples that you use. Had one problem with the dishwasher , a repair person came with in 40 minutes!We would definitely return!

A lovely respite

by Recent Guest
Info is needed for the renter about what to do at checkout. There were no instructions at all. The electric power went out in the kitchen the first time both the toaster and coffee maker were plugged in at the same time. We had to search for the fuse box which was outside in the little storage shed.Otherwise, it's a lovely little house to stay in. Thank you for help with the last-minute reservation.
