We loved the Oyster Shell cottage for several reasons. It's proximity to the Village for morning breakfast or coffee, being walkable to a tidal beach each morning during low tide. We spent time on the tidal beach each morning enjoying the peaceful tranquility of this nearly private little area. The house itself was perfect for the 3 of us: me, my spouse and 1 of our adult children joined us for part of the week. Check-in/Check-out very easy.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It is a very short walk from Pier Village, and the beach crossover is at the end of the street (about 25 yards). We would stay here again.

We had a great weekend on our girl cousins/ aunts trip. The house was very clean and great location in relation to restaurants and shops. The beach that is down the street was only a beach for maybe an hour at super low tide, which was a bummer. However, a short drive to actual beach. Weather was too chilly for a day on the beach anyway.

If they’d sell it, I’d buy it! Lovely cottage, complete with screened-in room that is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine or a book… or both! Built in the 1920s, but affectionately restored, this three bedroom home has plenty of seating and all the amenities. Conveniently located one street away from the main Mallery St shops and restaurants and famous Pier. Walking distance to everything! The Welcome Book is so informative with the history of the home as well as recommendations of restaurants and activities. Take the time to read it- you’ll be happy you did! My two little boys enjoyed fishing, crabbing, and exploring SSI. Mini golf capped off our evening after a great dinner at Crabdaddys, and just before ice cream at one of the local spots on Mallery St. We’ll definitely be back; or maybe just me and some girlfriends for some R&R!

Our girlfriend group gets together at least once a year. This year, our high school reunion afforded us a unique opportunity to be together and attend the festivities in nearby Jesup. We had a blast! We walked all over the village…enjoyed long walks and lots of talk! The front porch is perfect for an evening cocktail!

Overall the stay was great. However, the porch was very dirty from prior storms. Dirt and leaves all over the furniture and floor. I spent about an hour cleaning it. This should have been noticed by the walk through the agent said was done before our check-in

The stay was good overall. First vacation rental I can recall to not provide shampoo and conditioner. The back patio is a wasted opportunity. It’s not a huge space, but it’s just empty with some chairs stacked up to the side. The location can’t be beat and the house was very clean.

Clean, quaint, close to pier village and very near to low tide beach access. Owners have done an excellent job of updating and providing modern conveniences in a great old beach cottage. Very roomy. Fans and air conditioner were top notch. In the future, when bathrooms are ready for renovations, the only thing that would be more comfortable for seniors would be to replace at least one of the original bathtubs with a walk in shower. My senior parents had a bit of a difficult time with the tubs. Otherwise the cottage is superb. I am a renovation contractor and I think the renovations were thoughtfully done and they maintained the character of the cottage. I'm always glad when the old cottages aren't knocked down to make way for multiple tall houses on the same lot. Kudos to the owners.

We came down to be with family and this location was perfect. A couple of blocks to restaurants, shopping and activities for children. The house was perfect. Spotlessly clean and neat. We enjoyed our stay and plan to come back to this home in the future. Thank you!

Overall, this is a great place to stay at SSI. Very clean and basics are provided which is a plus. You do have to drive or golf cart to the beach. We enjoyed the porch in the mornings. Because you are located in a busy area, there is noise in the evening and at night. We would love to stay again sometime.

Excellent location! Close to village, parks, restaurants - but very private setting. We loved walking to the end of our street ( maybe 30 yards) to watch the sunset and high tide crashing on the rocks. Very clean and kitchen well equipped. We will book this house again.
