About this cottage rental
This newly remodeled cottage captures the essence of island living with its large oaks, quiet treelined street, and short distance to the beach. You'll feel the ocean breezes and be just a quick walk to the popular island restaurants Crab Trap and Crab Daddys. Both East Beach and the Village are within walking distance and bike rentals are just a block away!
This cute cottage has just been renovated and redecorated and features a large great room with board and batten ceilings with exposed beams and new wood floors. The custom designed and built mantle and fireplace features our new 50 inch flat screen television. Furnishings are exquisite and include many one-of-a-kind treasures as well as original artwork throughout.
The eat-in kitchen has brand new appliances with gorgeous granite countertops. You'll love the custom designed range hood and upscale new appliances. The kitchen also features a large dining table with seating for 8 including custom built banquette seating.

We call the third bedroom our 'Bunk Room'. It is located next to kitchen and great room and just a short distance to the shared hall bathroom. This room was custom built by a true craftsman.

The cottage is beautifully decorated, spacious, and close to the beach. It is well-equipped with ample seating, dining provisions, and starter products. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay.

We had a wonderful week at the cottage. Can't imagine a place being more comfortable and inviting. Close to the beach and better restaurants. Beds were very nice and the kitchen was well stocked with whatever you may need for cooking. Private outdoor area was very enjoyable. The outdoor shower was a very nice feature too. We highly recommend it!

Great location close to the beach. Thank you for having a Keurig machine! Only negative was my master shower…water pressure was weak. And next time, I will bring my whisk! Thank you for a great week!!

We had a great stay for our family vacation (even with tropical storm Debby)! This house is exactly as described. Great space and perfect location within walking distance to the beach, great restaurants, and even the pier to shop, dine, or grab some sweets or ice cream. Patti was an amazing host! We will definitely be back to stay here again!

I can't do justice with words when describing how lovely this cottage is, and how perfect it was for our family. Not only is it immaculate, but it's literally steps from the beach. It's obvious that the owners of this property take a great deal of pride in this home, as I would too! The layout of the interior is awesome. My family has been visiting SSI every summer for 20+ years. We usually stay on the beach but this time we needed a pet friendly rental, and those are hard to find on the beach. This cottage was by far the cleanest we've ever stayed in (I'm a clean freak ... AKA OCD). We loved the open living area that included the kitchen space. The backyard is perfect if you have a pet, and it's so nice to relax and cook out. The shower and changing area in the back is amazing as well! No one could go wrong with this rental as long as it's the right size for your group. It was perfect for us, and we had 5 adults and one baby. But it's perfect for 6 adults. The only advice I can give is to be sure you only have 3 cars that you need to park. The homes on the street stick to the policy of number of cars allowed at each home. Often I will pay attention to number of cars allowed but I know some people are like me and might overlook a detail like that. We've already decided that we hope we can get this cottage again for our 2025 trip. I want to say thank you to the owners of this property because it truly was a "home away from home" and could not have been better!

Wonderful host, always prompt responses from her. Very well appointed cottage. Ample seating for dining & gathering. Nice to have starter products for our weekly stay. The beach wagon is an added bonus for shuttling chairs, umbrella & coolers. Highly recommend this cottage!

and shops. Love it!

When we decided to return to SSI, we couldn’t find any rental that was more attractive or better located than this one. We were delighted to stay there again. Patti is a responsive and responsible host. The house is clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The only things missing are beach towels and a beach umbrella, which would make it perfect. Be aware that the residents/owners in the neighborhood seem to be obsessed with leaf blowing, and the relentless racket starting at 8 a.m. can ruin a quiet morning or afternoon on the back patio.

I have lost count but think this was our sixth stay in this home. Clean, beautifully decorated, close to beach and village and very comfortable. We always rent a golf cart when we stay here and rarely need our car since the home is conveniently located near everything we need. Also, there is a nice fenced back yard with outdoor shower and firepit.

The house is comfortable and in good condition, having been recently remodeled. The location is good, being a block and a half from the beach and about a mile from the village. The backyard has a new patio. The owner is very courteous and friendly. This is the third time we’ve stayed in the house. I obviously would recommend it.

The beautiful trees all over the island left us speechless. We also enjoyed Jekyll island, Cumberland island, Amelia island and savannah. Great location to get to many attractions. The king bed in this house is the most comfortable bed in any vacation home I’ve ever slept on. Short walk to beach. Loved it!!!!!

The pictures don't really do this place justice. It's much bigger than the pictures show. The kitchen is fully stocked with a great supply of cooking utensils as well as spices etc. Fenced in backyard is great for pets and only a little more than a block from the beach the beach.

Great vacation home; so close to the beach!
Patti's home is beautiful! The house was extremely clean and well kept. My wife and I also felt like the house is actually larger and more spacious than the pictures show--it was very easy for us to have plenty of space in the house! The reviews are accurate--it's an extremely short walk to the beach, and within walking distance to many restaurants, and only a short drive to the lighthouse and pier. We didn't need much, but Patti was very responsive to any messages we sent. We hope to come back and stay again!

Perfect Vacation Property
Everything about the house was great. The house was immaculate (and I am super picky). The beds were comfortable. The location was perfect. Just a couple of blocks to the beach and a couple of minutes to our favorite restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. Huge oak trees everywhere. Everything I needed or could have thought to need was in the house. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. We did borrow a few chairs and the wagon everyday. The backyard was perfect for our fur baby. Patti is a superb hostess. We love St. Simmons and will return to this house again!

Never disappoints!
This was our fourth time staying at this wonderful beach cottage. As always it was fantastic. Great location to restaurants, the village, and of course, the beach. I timed beach proximity. Two minutes and sixteen seconds from front door to sand! Walking.

Cozy cottage and excellent location.
The location is great! Very close to the beach and restaurants.
The cottage itself is cozy, clean, and well equipped.
The host is very nice and attentive to her guests. The cottage has everything for a great stay, including gas grill in the backyard. Five stars.

Great Rental
We really enjoyed our stay at Patti’s cottage. It an easy walk to a great beach and several restaurants. It is well appointed and really nicely decorated for a rental. This property is well taken care of and managed. We were a group of 6 and ate in for most meals. There was ample room for everyone to enjoy their vacation stay. I hope that I will be able to return at some point.

We do not want competition
Unfortunately, we must be honest, despite fear of competition for this place. House was immaculate upon arrival. Spacious living room, kitchen and master bedroom, with walk-in shower. Roomy second bedroom, and a shower/tub bathroom nearby. Small children's bunkbed room, too. Fenced yard, big patio table. Plentiful tableware, cookware. Parking out front. Two blocks from beach. Nearby neighborhoods away from beach mix of residential/rentals; beachfront lined with expensive condos and a big resort, but public access is a breeze at several points. Absolutely safe area; whole island safe. Patti the host gracious, kind. We tested positive Covid several days after arrival, despite fully vaccinated, boostered. Informed Patti because ethical to do so. Next day she texted. She's out front and on front walkway is container of Brunswick Stew, package of lemon ginger tea and container of raw honey -- all for our recovery. Covid minor symptoms; after self-quarantine 5 days we walked, biked, visited Brunswick, Jekyll Island. Terrific region. Exceptional rental home. We booked for next year. Sorry.

St. Simons Island Gem
This was our first trip to St. Simons Island and we selected this cottage for our visit. With all of the previous reviews at a 5 we had certain expectations and we were not disappointed. This was the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in by far.
I had to connect with Patti on two separate occasions and each time she was very prompt to respond.
The location is very close to the beach and a short walk is all it takes. The cottage is well stocked with everything needed for a visit. It is truly a Gem!

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home! Lots of social areas including a large kitchen and living room (great comfortable seating). The fenced yard was a big perk and was equipped with a large patio with outdoor table and chairs and another patio area. The outdoor shower was huge! The beds were super comfortable. There was a large pantry in the kitchen which was great for storing personal items. The house is fully stocked and I mean stocked. A vast array of pots and pans, dishes, coffee makers, blender, etc... The laundry room off of the kitchen was full of different supplies, i.e., tide pods, bug spray, beach umbrella, vacuums, ironing board and iron, etc...We found St Simons about a year ago and have stayed in 3 different homes. This was by far our favorite and we will definitely return.The proximity to the beach, downtown area and restaurants can't be beat! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Patti one day as she owns another vacation rental across the street. She was a sweetheart and cares so much about her properties!!!! I just can't say enough great things about this charming home!!!!

Good location, needs a little TLC.
The property was in a great location, and was well equipped. My main complaint is about the mosquitoes in the back yard! We couldn’t step out without being covered with them. I think the mulch and constant dampness attracted them. The property needed some landscaping to manage the overgrowth. It also needed a little painting and new furniture as the sofa and chairs were a little worn.
