The location is fantastic. Love all the trees and shade. The outdoor firepit was great for s’mores and hot dogs. The sunrooms on each floor are perfect for games or enjoying your morning coffee. TVs and WiFi work perfectly. Lots of space to spread out or if everyone wants to be in one room there is plenty of seating for that too.

We loved that the house had plenty of room for the entire family with lots of smaller spaces for folks to venture to for quiet spaces. The two block walk to the beach was great & the island was perfect!

Cute home and great location! Had a family of 10 and we had enough room for everyone to enjoy their stay. In walking distance to beach. We would definitely stay again.

I had a lovely few days staying here in St Simons! The house has plenty of room, and I appreciated the many spots for chargers in the dining area. The house is just a three minute walk from the beach which makes it convenient if you want to take a break from the beach. The backyard also has a lovely tree which provides a nice shaded area to escape the sun. Highly recommend this stay!

Great spacious home for my group to spread out in! We loved walking to the beach and the well-equipped kitchen.

We had a party of 10 who came down from NJ to attend my daughter’s graduation from Coastal. This house was in the best location- a block from the beach, walkable to the pier. The house is beautifully decorated- very beachy. Each floor has a deck, kitchen and living room. It was perfect - one floor for the older generation and one for the younger generation. It was very clean. The management was great- very responsive when I text them. I only had to text them once- to stay later than 10AM on checkout day. For a small fee we stayed- well worth it. Plus they were very thoughtful the day we checked in- they allowed us early check in which was great. I can not say enough about how happy I was with the whole experience. We had a great time!! Would love to go back!!!

This home provides a great location to the ocean and walkable to the village. This home provides multiple living areas and two kitchens to spread out for large groups or multiple families. Listing is accurately represented for this beach cottage. The cottage was clean and ready for us upon arrival.

We love to visit Saint Simon Island because there is so much to do: the beach, many various restaurants, plenty of sightseeing sites, or just to relax.
The Mosley Cottage makes all of the above very easy due to its location. A few minutes to the each, restaurants within a walking distance or a very short drive. To relax there is a large private deck in the back, and also a large deck on the second floor to watch the world go by. Or you can watch TV in various rooms.
The cottage itself is very comfortable with plenty of space for a number of family members or friends, nicely furnished, even with books and games to help you relax.
Very enjoyable!

The location of the property was definitely the bright spot of the stay. The house is truly within walking distance of everything. The check-in procedure was not quite up to date or accurate, it made entering the property difficult. The cleanliness of the house was generally fine, but the refrigerator smelled like fish for the first two days and didn't get all that cold. The freezer didn't freeze anything, it was just a colder version of the fridge. The dishes generally needed to be washed before use; more than a few had remnants of food left on them.
The property served its purpose and provided a place for our family to get together and spend time.

We have rented and enjoyed staying in this historic St. Simons home for many years. It is large and spacious with plenty of room to be together or spread out with full kitchens downstairs and upstairs. A quick block and a half walk to the public beach access. Love this house!
5.0 / 5.0
So close to the beach - less than 2 min away - we walked to great restaurants, and the village! Tastefully decorated, with plenty of room for our large family to gather. We liked that the main level and upper level had a kitchen and living room so that kids and adults could have their own space. Everyone appreciated the 4 bathrooms, particularly the soaking tub on the first floor - small but so relaxing. We look forward to coming back!

Beautiful vintage cottage.
Nicely decorated. We enjoyed the multiple places to gather both indoors and out. Big enough for all 10 of us to sit around the table, and gather in living room for family time. Our two 3-year-old grandsons loved all the space to play.

Loved the layout - took our grown children and their friends so we had lots of room. The location is perfect - we only got in our car the 1st day to go to the grocery store. We walked to beach and we walked to restaurants.

This two story home offered plenty of room for both family time and quiet moments. It was an easy walk to the beach with lots of shopping and restaurants close by. Highly recommend!

Great stay! Liked the space and close to most everything. You do have to drive to shops/restaurants but can walk to beach. Liked the texting feature to communicate with staff and easy check in and out.

Great for a lot of people
The location was great and a short walk to town and even shorter to the beach. The house is good for a lot of people with tons of seating in several areas of the home.
A few things about the amenities:
The house is well stocked with glasses, plates, coffee mugs (a little too many), tons of silverware, large bowls and many other kitchen items, but no scissors.
We had 9 people and stayed over Thanksgiving and had plenty of seating, baking dishes, pans and utensils, we even found a large roasting pan. They also left us a couple foil pans. They almost have too much stuff as we had difficulty finding open areas for our things.
We did have to purchase all spices including salt and pepper and sugar, foil, napkins and ziplock bags. We did not have enough paper towels, garbage bags, and toilet paper as we were only left enough for part of the week. It probably would’ve been enough if we only had a few people.
The management company was responsive and brought us more garbage bags, which was great. I’m only leaving 4 stars for the management company because I responded to a text they sent me offering to help anyway they can and asked how to turn the outside lights on and got a generic response telling me patio lights are operated by a switch inside the house by the door and when I said I was trying to turn the decorative light they told me “hanging lights are plugged in via a cord in an outside outlet”. It was probably a service as it was a Sunday night but we were trying to bbq and it would’ve been helpful to have a response from someone who actually knows the home. It also would’ve been nice to have a binder in the home explaining how to turn on the outdoor lights and how to work the tv and things like that. We did finally figure out the lights, there’s a switch on the deck rail by the bbq, and one by the stairs near the fire pit
As for cleanliness, some utensils were dirty, kitchen drawers and cabinets were super messy and the shower curtain was moldy, but the home was vacuumed, dusted and bathrooms/kitchens were as clean as they could be for being an old house.
Overall we had a great time and would stay there again, it’s a great home for a large group. The management Co. was responsive and sent texts informing us of check in/out procedures. And the two kitchens were a bonus.

Great location but not very clean
When we arrived the cleaning crew was still there. Our towels smelled like smoke. The cleaning crew must have smoking while driving to the property. My daughter found a beer bottle under her bed. There were several other incidences of small things not being clean. The blender still had fluid in it from a prior customer. The place has "a lot" of furniture so some of the more inconspicuous areas of the house need a deeep cleaning. For example, the kids were playing hide and seek and hid under a table. She came out covered in dust.

Perfect
Everything about the house was perfect for our group. It was a reasonable walk/bike ride from the beach, the house was clean and cozy, loved the fire pit, and the porches.

The Perfect Old-Time Beach House
If you want to stay in a house that is one-block from the beach that brings back memories from your childhood, then this is the house for you. We had six adults and four kids, and we were able to find space for everyone.

Nice location, needs deep cleaning and maintenance.
It was a good location and worked for a short weekend stay with a group of 10, however the house needs a deep cleaning and a good amount of maintenance before we would ever stay again.

Kinda wished we had more time
Didn't even realize there was an upstairs kitchen until the day we were leaving. Place is great, fit 8 grown adult men easily! We came for a golf weekend at Jekyll Island. The location was great very affordable and everything matched the listing. Would absolutely recommend this place for a family, lots to do nearby.

Weekend visit to St Simons
I must agree with a previous review that was posted in May of 2020, rooms were perfect for my party but the moldy shower curtain is still there. Lighting in the house not good & several of the lamps were out. Had to figure out how to program the 2 televisions in the house. Dishwasher did not clean the dishes very well. Several of the kitchen utensils needs to be disposed of. Overall, we had a great visit & enjoyed our getaway.

Excellent location
This property is located close to everything. It is a short walk to the beach, walking distance to Crab Trap, and a short drive to downtown. We had 10 people stay here and everyone had their own space and we never felt like we were cramped together. The multiple living areas are a definite plus! I would definitely recommend this property.

This listing is exactly as described with great location and perfect set up for older kids/teenagers and/or adults. In my hurry to book, I overlooked that there is no bathtub which is easier (IMO) for babies/toddlers than shower. There is also a crowded footprint and closed floor plan (hard to find a spot for the stroller/bouncy seat, pack and play & no great sight lines while Prepping a meal and keeping an eye on littles.)With older kids I imagine they would enjoy having their own space! Last, their are several entrances and for me since the exterior doors don’t have child locks - that limited us on which bedrooms we could use and ended up having toddler stay in the room with us because only other option on ground floor had a door to outside in the bedroom.The charm and history of this home is wonderful. Lots of original art and cozy places to sit. The glass porch was a favorite spot with nice light. The walk to the lighthouse and pier were short and there is a paved sidewalk. Plenty of public beach access. Beach is small at high tide if you’re new to St Simons.

We stayed here in late May and really enjoyed the location and layout. We had two parents, 5 high schools girls and 2 college kids. The upstairs was great for the high schoolers and the main level was perfect for us and the college girls. We came back in late September with pretty much the same group with the high schoolers doing their virtual Senior Year from an awesome alternative campus!Perfect combination of traditional beach house with all the modern amenities.

The house is charming; however, our biggest issue was the mold in the house. We all got headaches, sneezing, water eyes, and felt lethargic. The mold issue needs to get addressed! I called and spoke to Austin to bring air purify machines in. The management was responsive at all. I do not recommend at all.

Beautiful home!!!
This is our fave place to stay on our big yearly family vacation! Don’t have to get in car much, can walk to beach and pier area. So beautifully furnished and yet very comfortable. Downstairs and upstairs kitchens are a big plus. Fantastic hosts!

Historic large home but needs some upkeep
We loved that this house had 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, which suited our large family. There are even two kitchens and lots of sitting areas. We also loved that it was a short walk to the beach and overall the location was great. There were a couple of things that need attention - one of the shower curtains was very, very moldy and there was a water leak from the upstairs bathroom shower to the downstairs kitchen window. Overall, the house was good, but it is quite full of furnishings, decor and magazines, which made it feel a bit cluttered.

Perfect layout and location!
Our group included six high school girls and four adults. The house was perfect for a together yet separate vacation. The girls enjoyed the upstairs with 3BR, kitchen and living room and the adults comfortably occupied the spacious downstairs area.
We utilized both the upstairs and downstairs decks and enjoyed the two block walk to the beach. This house was perfect for our crew!

When you just want to chill
Lovely beach type home with enough different spaces for everyone. Great wifi and cable, well stocked kitchen, and blocks from the beach. Our third time staying there, as always loved it.
