This house was everything we wanted. Perfect size for me any extended family. Super close to the beach. Perfect sized pool, no too big, not too deep. Kitchen is definitely a little removed, but for our early morning crew, morning coffee didn't wake anyone. Will definitely return.

My family and I had a great time. This place was a good setup for our combination of adults and kids. The 3.5 year old loved the bunk beds and the master has a large walk in closet that worked great for a pack-n-play. The pool was really nice to have as an option to the beach.

Nice property and great proximity to beach! Rental was confusing because it’s really Hodnett Cooper. Better to book through them directly because of fees. Also, check in very rigid so don’t arrive early hoping to get in sooner. Yard had some poison oak, and bushes needed trimming. Pool is small but great for what we needed. Leak in pool causing water to drop below pump level. Would recommend a key pad entry. If walking to beach with stuff would recommend going down to Gould’s inlet. Getting through dunes with cart is tough. Water pressure was excellent! Great for pets and kids!

This property is super comfortable with a very pleasant beach vibe - just the right tone for a relaxing time. The neighborhood is awesome and one short block from beach access. The mattresses are very comfortable! And Hodnett Cooper, the property manager, was so helpful when we accidentally left something valuable behind. I highly recommend both Hodnett Cooper, this neighborhood, and this house.

This was our first visit to this property and the neighborhood. A really relaxing place with room to spread out. We used every room and the pool area. The house was very clean with comfortable linens. We received lots of communication leading up to the stay and had no issues with check in or check out.

Cute rental. Lots of entertaining space. Short walk from beach. Excellent community. We were a bit worried when we arrived. Front curb appeal not the best compared to neighbors but inside made up for it. It was nice. I wished their was a newer coffee maker and they left a few other essentials (paper towels and trash bags).

House was a little dated and there were a few things that were broken and messed up but very minor. House is very well equipped with everything we needed. The layout of the house was perfect for having an infant. Overall great experience great location thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

This is a great house for a beach vacation. Plus it had a pool and was dog friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay! Excellent location and amenities!

Super location, very close walking distance to beach. The house was older but well kept and great for our needs, especially because it was dog friendly! No window coverings in the main living/dining space which was a little uncomfortable, and the pool was much smaller than how it appears in the picture, but again, the quiet location of this home to the beach makes up for any negatives! Thanks for a nice stay in SSI!

This house is cozy and beautiful. The location to the beach was amazing and to the shops at SSI. We loved having the pool and used it every day. The only thing we would say was a negative are the beds. They are very hard and uncomfortable so some consideration should be given to replacing them soon. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home.

The house was awesome. Clean, well stocked and plenty of room. The huge TV played Alabama football! Very close to the beach with many accesses to choose from.

My son said, "Wow, the place is great!" when he came for a few days with his wife and babies. Furnishings are tasteful and functional. All the living spaces are well-proportioned and comfortable. My only gripe is the kitchen lacks a few items: tea kettle, sharp knife. A plus: cottage comes with two bicycles and multiple beach chairs and playthings. I would definitely rent again.

This house has a fabulous location. There are three beach accesses within walking distance and it's within walking distance to the inlet, which has great fishing and gorgeous summer sunsets. Even if walking the approx. three blocks to the beach isn't doable for everyone, each of the beach accesses have parking spots, so it is possible to drive to the beach from the house. East beach is broad and it isn't covered in water at high tide; the waves and the grade are gentle, making it ideal for young swimmers. The beauty of the flora and fauna can't be overstated; St. Simons and East Beach, in particular, are stunning. The Sea Shell Cottage is an ideal beach house. It has all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay at the beach. The pool is great for a change-of-pace from the ocean too. We loved the floorplan: the bunk room and another bedroom connect through a shared bathroom (great for parents with younger children) and the master suite is more private at the back of the house. Beth and Adam are extremely responsive and made sure that we were well taken care of, even though all of our needs were already met. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at SSI, and the Sea Shell Cottage was one of the main reasons our trip was so fulfilling. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location. Good house for 4 adults and 5 children. Owners were extremely responsive to the issues. Arrived late evening. Noticed immediately the shortage of towels. Also, huge pee stain on one of the mattresses. Both were delivered immediately the next morning. However, my kids were still disgusted by the 2 inches of dust, cob webs and dirt under the beds where the trendls were. The cleaning crew needs to be more attentive to such details. Not enough utensils. We were a group of 9. The adults waited for the kids to eat so that we could wash and use their forks. Appliances are very outdated. The stove top took 20 minutes to boil a pot of water for pasta and the oven took a really long time to get hot. If planning meals, add another 30 minutes to what it would normally take. The dryer is extremely loud and the two bikes provided are broken. The bathroom faucets also need a lot of work. Extremely difficult to turn on the showe in the master and the guest bathroom just smells old and moldy. Beautiful house with a great location. Obviously a rental property that the owners are doing the bare minimum to maintain.

Pool was full of leaves when we arrived. I had to call the rental agent to make it usable. The dryer is so noisy we only used it when absolutely necessary. Master shower is difficult to turn on and off - whole thing probably should be replaced. We had to call for towels. There were a total of four towels - no wash clothes and hand towels for five people. Property description says there are bikes. They are rustedand cannot be ridden. We rented bikes. On the plus side, rental agent was responsive, AC works good, we liked the floor plan. Unit is clean. Won't stay there again.

very nice home. the pool is not heated and was ice cold so we did not get to use it while there. that was the main reason why we choose this place. comfy beds, nice kitchen and great area to walk to the beach.

The house was in a great area and had most everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this house. Perfect location close to the beach.

First time using HomeAway. It was so easy and fast. Our first grand baby made his entrance so we didn’t spend too much time in this cute cottage but we felt comfortable returning late at night and it’s such a quiet neighborhood. The beach is very easy to get to and it is fabulous. East Beach is extraordinary. The cottage is comfortable, stocked well and nicely furnished. We loved the private backyard with the pool and all the windows. This was a good little get a way.

We went to celebrate my nieces wedding so many family members were able to visit with us and hang out. The pool is not heated so we couldn't swim because of the cold weather but we had some great visits to the beautiful beach right around the corner. Great neighborhood for walking and biking. The house had a nice layout and master bedroom is very private. Only problem was an all night light out at the pool which we couldn't figure out how to turn off. House was filled with everything you could need and was decorated beautifully. I would go back in a minute!

The pictures make the property look nicer than it really is. It's an older home that has been renovated to rent. The furnishings were average. However, it was clean and in a great location. It was a block from the beach and very close to the village and other key locations on the island.

Nice property. Quiet. Just around the corner from the beach. Enjoyed it and would stay there again. Spacious and comfortable .

We had a great time. Accommodations and location were fabulous on East Beach.
