A short bike ride will get you to the Pier or Red-fern Village. Driftwood Cottage provides you with all that you might need for a relaxing stay.

The cottage is decorated with an eye for unique vintage finds. Located half-way down Bruce Lane on quiet East Beach, one of St Simons oldest, most established family friendly neighborhoods, Driftwood Cottage offers the perfect location for a family vacation or a romantic getaway for two.

The house was beautiful and it is a great location. A very short walk to the beach. We saw trails of where 2 sea turtles came up and laid eggs. The only thing that was disappointing was that it was advertised that there was a grill at the house. We had to go and buy one.

We went to St. Simons and had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful house! It was very clean, had great furnishings and lots of space for 3 couples. It's within walking distance to the beach and is a beautiful easy walk. The house is well stocked with necessities in kitchen and bathrooms. Can't wait to book our next stay there!

Wonderful Family time and great fun!

Mark and Gena were great! They even dropped by just after we arrived and we were delighted to meet them. The cottage was such and interesting place with, I suspect, many stories to tell. We enjoyed the style of the house and looking at all the decorating. The beach was a short walk and we enjoyed mornings, days and evenings at the beach. St. Simons island was enjoyed by all of our families in different ways. Food was very good and the neighborhood is very nice. We will hopefully be back and will contact Matk and Gena first. Thank you for a wonderful time!!!

Summer 2022

The property owner was great about responding and even let me know as soon as the cleaning crew said they were done. My big complaint, which was addressed with owner already, was the cleanliness of the house. The only thing I believe the cleaning crew did was change the sheets and if beds were made they didn't change them, had to wash some before sleeping that night. The floor hadnt been mopped in a long time, my grandbabies feet where black from walkimg around barefooted in the house. I had to buy stuff to mop the floor with. The house was very dusty, so if allergies, not the house for you right now. One of the upstairs bedrooms, with twin beds in it, had so much dust on ceiling fan it has blown it all on the ceiling. There also needs to be more towels and wash clothes because there only 10 towels 6 wash clothes with no extra in any closets. The size of the house was great and we loved the screened porch to sit talk at night. The house is in a great location to the beach. My suggestion is fire your cleaning crew and find you a single mom that needs the money, she will do a much better job for the $$$ spent on cleaning fees.(pet deposit included)

Comfortable, Roomy, and Pet-Friendly

Nicely located getaway with plenty of room for people and pets of all ages! Lots of places to hang out and relax, both inside and on roomy screened-in porches. Short walk to not-too-busy section of beach, short drive to touristy stuff and public beach accesses. These beaches, and this rental, are dog-friendly, which made our stay a lot of fun. Owners were very accessible and responsive. Would come again.

The home and host are excellent - eclectic styling, and comfortable. The location is perfect for walking the dunes to the beach or even down to the inlet for salty fishing. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly - lots of 'hellos' and 'good mornings' :)

Family friendly house, quiet neighborhood

Family friendly house, quiet neighborhood

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this rental. It was very convenient and we walked on an established trail thru the dunes to the beach almost every day. Quiet neighborhood. Relaxing in screened porch was so peaceful. Lots of room and plenty of storage in the house. The extensive beach decor collection was fun to look at. We ended up not bringing our dog on the trip but the house is set up to be a wonderful, doggy-friendly place.

Our family had a great time. We had 12 of us ranging in ages from 17-73. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The beach is a walk through the dunes that grandma wouldn’t be able to do, but it was easy enough to drive her down the street to public access. Communication with the owner was great. I would definitely recommend

This old-style house has lots of different spaces for togetherness AND privacy. It is not shiny and clean like a slick condo, but it is open and large, several porches, perfect for our families with teenagers, aunts and uncles, etc. Host immediately responded to all requests. East Beach neighborhood growing, but still more laid back than closer to town.

Plenty of space for everyone

The property had plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The location was great & the owners were super helpful. The walk to the beach is a little long & not a straight shot but that is stated in the rental info. The house needs a good dusting/deep cleaning. Other than that it was perfect.

We had a great stay at this property. The owners, Gena and Mark, were super responsive, helpful, and nice. The location is outstanding for heading to the beach, as there are multiple routes to the various beach areas. We greatly appreciated the property being dog-friendly, both inside and out. Overall, this was a great choice for our family.
