Beautifully and conveniently located only 225 steps from two community swimming pools and the gorgeous shores of East Beach, True Knot Cottage offers a glimpse of St. Simons Island at its best. This classic-yet-modern home was designed in the style of Charleston's side-porch cottages, providing a wonderful atmosphere full of Southern charm, elegant finishes, and cozy living spaces. You'll be able to walk to the pools, the beach, and the community sundeck each morning, and easily return home for lunch prepared on the gas grill or in the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Sip cold glasses of sweet tea beneath the ceiling fans on the side porch, spend the afternoon people-watching in rocking chairs on the front patio, and catch unforgettable sunsets on the third-level observation deck.

What’s nearby:
This home is part of the Coast Cottages at St. Simons Island, which sit just a few steps from two pools, a sundeck, and an oceanfront pavilion on the sandy shores of East Beach. When you're not swimming, building sandcastles, or walking the beach at high or low tide, you'll be an easy bike ride (or an an even quicker drive) from the St. Simons Lighthouse Museum and the many attractions of Neptune Park, both of which are less than two miles southwest. Take out a kayak for the morning, tee off at the Seaside Golf Course less than three miles west, and sample a variety of restaurants that await on Ocean Boulevard.

Our family truly enjoyed a wonderful time in this house. It was spacious and had everything we needed. The side porch on the 2nd floor was wonderful for hanging out and the close location to the beach/pool was amazing. It’s a wonderful property!

Would recommend this property to anyone. Great location with beach and pool access. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else. WiFi is spotty but that’s my only complaint. Very clean and easy check in and check out.

We loved true not four years ago and we still love it this time around. It is the perfect size for our family of five. You cannot beat the proximity to the beach and the wonderful heated pool. The house was very clean and beautiful. It is an idyllic place to stay, and we will come back again!

We have stayed in this cottage before. It was very nice but we noticed some "attention to detail" issues since the last time we stayed. Bathroom shower drain slow...carpet had sand spurs still in it which are hard for vacuum to remove. Clothes washing machine would not cycle. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and the weather was Chamber of Commerce perfect!

We loved the location of this home! Close walk to the beach and pool. The open porch behind the front door was great for wrangling two small kids after coming home. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The only thing holding back 5 stars- there weren't enough towels in my opinion. There were only 2 per bathroom. And while, yes technically that is one for each person it sleeps, I don't want to constantly do laundry on vacation. And the washer and dryer took a VERY long time.

Great location with our cottage being only a short walk from the beach and pool. The home was easy to access and easy to find. We especially enjoyed the three outdoor seating areas. We had kids of all ages and the spaces were perfect.

This property is gorgeous and close to the beach. We arrived on the island early and when we pulled into the restaurant where we were eating lunch we were texted that the house was ready. We drove right over and were unloading our luggage when we heard someone open the front door of the home. A very rude woman yelled that we couldn't be in the house. When I informed her we'd been texted that it was ok to check in she argued with me. I showed her the text we had just received. She still acted rude and defensive. She said she wasn't sure the house was ready. I said "well can you verify with whomever texted us?" A member of our party who had to use the restroom after the long drive informed her that the toilet paper had the paper indicating at least that bathroom had been cleaned. The woman was still unfriendly and suspicious with us and we informed her we'd go eat and return so she could check out the house. I should have called the rental company then. When we returned 90 minutes later she wasn't there but a member of our party stepped on broken glass as we readied for the beach. It made a deep gash in her foot. Several towels in her bathroom were filthy and there was sand all over the floor. I reached out to the rental company and was told to send pictures. We did, but instead of getting an apology we got a message on my cell that said the lady was just there dropping off parking passes (which is a lie because they were there when we arrived) and that we wouldn't be receiving any refund. I didn't necessarily want a refund, but maybe an apology for the rude way we were welcomed and for my friend getting hurt.

I rented the True Knot Cottage for a recent work trip, and it turned out to be the perfect home away from home. Everything about the home was comfortable and clean, and the community and its amenities (including the beach!) were everything I needed to be productive, inspired, and relaxed. VRBO made the entire experience of finding and reserving the house as easy as it could possibly be.

Travelled with our 4 kids. Perfect distance to beach, pool an added bonus. So much character and charm! The balconies are such a treat and extend the living space. No one wanted to leave. Hope to return again one day.

Overall it was good . Location and beach abd pool amenities good. Bathrooms are older and had mildew and cheap shower curtain liners . I suggest owner updates bath tub/ showers . Fabrics were also worn and dirty in living room. Next time I would look at this more carefully and rent a newer more updated unit. Also I called and tried to get some answers in advance about checking in and never got any call backs. I had to also hold for 25 min to get anyone.

House is in a great neighborhood and I would definitely stay in this area again. I would say that the bathroom showers really need updating - especially the master bathroom. This would not stop me from staying there again, but for the price per night, it’s really something to consider. The management company was very responsive to the few questions we had. They did a nice job in that regard.

The house reminded me of my beloved Charleston and was so comfortable for our family of 4. My kids loved riding their bikes everywhere, playing in the pool and riding in the golf cart. The weather was perfect. What a blessing the whole trip was! Thank you for a much needed change of pace.
