About this property

East Beach Cottage 3 Minute Walk to Best Beach on SSI

This beautifully decorated new 4 bedroom/4 bath 2-story cottage is located on Ocean Blvd, just a 3 minute walk to the best beach location on the Island at the Coast Guard Station. No need to compete with others finding a parking spot at the beach as you will have one space to park in the garage and 2 more spaces in the front driveway.. Enjoy the privacy of each bedroom equipped with its own dedicated bathroom. A spacious kitchen allows for comfortable food preparation for your group, but just a short walk away on Ocean Blvd are Crabdaddy’s, Fiddler’s, Barrier Island, Crabtrap, and Beachcomber Barbeque, all of which you need to make time to experience. One block over from these great dining stops is the famous King and Prince Resort where you can enjoy live music almost every Wednesday and Thursday nights starting at 7 pm. A short drive or bike ride further down Ocean Blvd and you can enjoy additional dining and shopping at the Village where the pier and playgrounds offer great family time experiences.

Take in the wildlife views from the lower and upper porches overlooking the creek and marsh to the West as you sip coffee in the morning served from the lower level coffee bar or from the upper level coffee bar. The evening sunsets are breathtaking from both vantage points as well.

Included with this spacious 2500sf home are 4 bikes for your use located in the garage so you can shoot on down Bruce Drive and watch the moon rise at Gould’s Inlet. Included with all utilities and linens are 2 HD streaming TVs and free WIFI. Rent additional bikes as needed at Ocean Motion Surf Company just a short walk down the street on Ocean Blvd, or have them delivered to you from other island vendors.

The garage space that is available will accommodate 1 car, the 4 bikes provided for your use, and any other beach toys, kayaks, or canoes you may choose to bring with you. Bring your suitcases directly from your car into the elevator to avoid lugging your belongings up the stairs to the 1st or 2nd floors. Exit the garage and walk (or ride bikes) along the easement to Wood Avenue, turn left to public beach access at Coast Guard Station, or turn right for 2 additional public beach access points via Olive Way or Driftwood Drive.

Information about my wife and me as owners and realtors operating under Spicer Realty Group, LLC is published in this listing as required by the Georgia Real Estate Commission.

NOTES ABOUT RATES, COSTS, CHECK IN, CHECK OUT, and BOOKING

1. Cleaning fees are listed in the quote. 4:00 PM Check In and 10:00 AM Check Out. The amount of work and cost to clean the unit and prepare it for the next vacationer is the same regardless of the length of your stay. The check in and check out times posted provide the necessary time for the cleaning crew to turn the unit to make it available to you and the next vacationer coming after you. As such, please understand that if your plans require the use of the unit past check out time on the day of departure, this will push its availability to others coming after you for their 4:00 pm check in to the following day, and you will be required to book this additional day even though you may not be spending the night. This also will be appropriately reflected in the calendar and so duplicate or overlapping bookings are avoided.

2. Service Fee. This is VRBO's additional fee (approximately 12%) required of you when you book and pay on this site. Additional information concerning these services can be discerned by clicking the “?”.

3. A damage deposit is required. Please contact me within 2 hours of your arrival to report damage you discover and to insure it is not your responsibility. We rely on our cleaning crew to report to us the state of the unit after each tenancy, and they are human, and sometimes things are missed.

4. This Property is perfect for long term FLETC or shorter term vacation rental, and offered for occupancy to the same tenant for greater than 30 days pursuant to GCO 2-31-15(b).

Exceptional Host, House, and Location

The host of the property has thought of everything! Gorgeous property that is beautifully appointed. My only hesitation in posting an amazing review is that this secret spot will be booked for the next 365 days! My family and I look forward to making this our go-to house rental on SSI.

Heavenly Cottage, Ideal Location

The pictures do not do this cottage justice. I have been traveling to SSI for many years, and this is the most beautiful, well-decorated, and ideally located cottage I have stayed in. When we first arrived, I was immediately impressed with how well the property was maintained and its cleanliness. It was easy to get our luggage to the first and second floors with the private, in-home elevator, and I was happy that there was so much space in the garage to store our beach gear. The property also came with four bikes, and we rode those things all over the island! Upon entering, I couldn’t believe how well decorated and appointed the cottage was. There was room for everyone to hang out together on the main level, and I loved that the space felt warm and relaxed. The kitchen was fully stocked with EVERYTHING we needed, and I especially loved the coffee bar adjacent to the kitchen (we all love our coffee!). The bedrooms were beautiful, and the beds were comfortable (the main bedroom/bathroom were impressive), but the best part was the second-level veranda (two of the bedrooms open out to it). What a view! The veranda looks out over the marsh, which glows golden as the sun sets in the evening. The porch on the main level also looks out over the marsh, and I loved hanging out with my family or reading a book in the sitting area. Great location! Very short walk to the beach and very close to restaurants (1-minute drive to island favorites like Crabdaddy's and The Crap Trap) and shopping. One evening, we put our name in at Crabdaddy's and then headed over to The King and Prince Resort for cocktails on the patio overlooking the beach, and we had a great time. The hosts were very responsive and thought about every detail, making our stay comfortable. This was hands-down the best vacation rental we have stayed in, and we will be back!

Gorgeous house close to the beach

The home was amazing in every way. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner and the kitchen had everything we needed. The best part of East Beach is a very short walk away. The owners were thoughtful and helpful.

Incredible House, Location and Owners

We visit St. Simons several times a year and this house has been our best accommodations by far! The house is well designed, beautifully decorated and very clean. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom which is great for multiple families. Plenty of living space to enjoy your family. Close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The owners are super nice and very helpful with anything you need. I would highly recommend this home for your next trip to SSI!
