About this property

Slack Tide Cottage - Best 2 bed/1 bath Pup-friendly Cottage with fenced yard!

Slack Tide Cottage

Slack tide comes when tidal water is completely unstressed, when the tide is neither coming in nor going out. For this lovely two bedroom cottage, presented by Real Escapes Properties and located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac being unstressed is the proper state of mind. Few cars are passing by yet you are close to the village, can walk to restaurants and walk to the beach. What can be better than time at the beach and then a short walk back to an enclosed outside shower to leave the sand and spray with a comfortable warm shower. Bring your dog too and shower him off in a space large enough for a small party. The back yard is fully enclosed so young children and your pets will not be wandering into the neighborhood.

Slack Tide Cottage can be enjoyed on the front porch with four rocking chairs and two small tables for your hors d’oeuvres and a cool drink of your choice. Surely as the sun goes down there is no stress as you quietly plan the rest of your evening rocking without a care. Will it be a quiet evening in with something from the backyard grill or a satisfying walk to a meal nearby?

Enter into the spacious den and dining area with ceiling fan, flat screen TV and ample seating. The dining room has a table for four just off of the kitchen. This cottage has been nicely upgraded and you will find everything you need in the kitchen - Keurig coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, pots/pans, and the list goes on!

Just down the hall, you will find a roomy bathroom with a double vanity on your left and on your right, the entrance to the large Master Bedroom with a King size bed, writing area, ceiling fan and TV. The full size laundry room with a side by side washer and dryer is located just off of the Master Bedroom. Across the hall from the Master, is a slightly smaller bedroom with a Queen-sized bed, ceiling fan and beautiful new linens.

If you read newspapers on-line or keep up with your favorite team the Wi-Fi is robust and available. Log-on to your email provider and tell your friends how peaceful an island of maybe 15,000 full time residents can be. Do you play golf? There is no end of possibilities to play on the many courses throughout the Golden Isles. There is even a PGA event on Saint Simons every year, the RSM Classic, played in November. Come and see your favorite players up close in a tournament hosted by Davis Love III.

Slack Tide Cottage, located at 1102 Sherman Avenue, is the perfect relaxing spot for you and your family.

An all about me Stay

I really needed a cozy cottage a short distance from the ocean that had everything I needed. I prepared my breakfasts, ate nearby for lunch, brought home leftovers for dinner. Walked on the beach, sat on the porch, let my dog out in the fenced in yard, and generally, escaped the REAL world. I would repeat again.

Great pet friendly stop near the beach!

My wife and our two dogs spent a long weekend here and really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy though having a keypad at the door so you don't have to stop on the way in and way out would be nice addition Overall, we would stay here again!

Spring Break - 23

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Traveled with my wife, 2 daughters, and 12 year old labradoodle. We have stayed this property before but it has been a couple years. The location is very centralized and a relatively short walk to Myrtle Street beach access. House is well stocked and in great condition. Only negative was the cleaning company - the dishes in the dishwasher were not clean upon arrival. And behind the door in one of the bathrooms there was a considerable amount of dirt. None of this was a big deal but I did provide feedback to the property management company to address with their cleaning contractor which they were adamant they would do. Either way this property is a great value and I would and likely will stay here again. Thanks!

Nice cottage, very enjoyable stay

We rented Slack Tide Cottage for Fall Break 2022. The house was just as it was pictured in the listing--very clean and well stocked. The cottage is pet friendly and the owners even included some little. "extras" to help our pups feel at home as well. We enjoyed being within walking distance of the beach and the Pier Village. Our car only left the driveway once the entire time we were there to take a quick day trip to visit a friend down in Florida. We have visited St. Simons many times over the years. It's become our go-to Destin when we can't think of anywhere else we would like to go. We've done all the touristy things there, so it's nice to just be able to hang out and chill for a few days. Slack Tide is now our new favorite place to stay in SSI. We hope we can stay here again in the future.

Cozy St. Simons Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at this fully equipped cottage on St. Simons Island. The check in process with the management company was fast and easy. All information/directions were printed on an envelope which held two keys to the cottage. The cottage was very clean, roomy and as pictured on the website. Kitchen came equipped with everything you would need to make a meal at home. Microwave, toaster, Keurig and coffee pot were all provided along with all flatware, bowls, dishes, pots and pans. The backyard was great for our pup who enjoyed exploring. We ate most of our suppers in the backyard and even used the charcoal grill provided. Kitchen and bath towels were provided along with one roll of paper towels and two rolls of toilet tissue. The host even has a basket of goodies for the pups located in the living room! Although, we had brought our own blankets for our pup, there were blankets provided to place on the couch for pups to cuddle with their people! Our number one draw to this cottage was being pet friendly for pups who may be a little bigger and did not discriminate on breed. Thank you!!! We would definitely book this cottage again if we return to St. Simons.
