Spring Break Blast

We had an incredible week at SSI! The location is perfect to walk to the beach, dinner or to the park. The space was just perfect to accommodate all of us trying to enjoy a meal together. We also loved having the gated back porch area to drop sandy beach items to dry in the sunshine!

Loved it

Very comfortable and clean house in great location. Kitchen was well stocked; beds were comfortable; the cottage just had a very nice feel. This is my favorite location on the island; rental bikes from the shop a couple blocks away, and then everything from East Beach to the Village is a quick bike ride. Everything about the rental process and communication was great.I highly recommend.

Great House, Great Location

The house was perfectly laid out for our two small families and mother-in-law. The kitchen was beautiful and amply supplied, and the bonus room was great for the kids to hang out in during the morning while the adults slept in. Host was very responsive.

Sweet Property close to restaurants and beach access

We had an amazing time at this cottage on St Simon’s. There was a great amount of space for 2 families of 4. The kids loved the bunk room. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, the backyard, the walk to a couple restaurants and the brewery and the short stroll to the beach. It was clean and perfect for our long weekend with family!

Very relaxing girls trip

We have nothing but good things to say about this property. The location was perfect, you can literally walk to beach access across the street. The house is so cute and was so comfortable! The porch and the sun room were perfect for our morning coffee. The check in and out instructions were so clear, we had no issues. We had the best experience!

Clean and Comfortable

This is our second stay at the property and it was even better than we remembered. Vintage SSI vibes with modern conveniences. We enjoyed the charcoal grill on the new back patio area. Convenient to public beach access. Front porch swing is a favorite spot to sip morning coffee.

Awesome cottage close to everything!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property was perfect for our family, friends and kids. There was plenty of parking for all cars and our rented golf cart. Great resuarants and beaches within walking distance. Will stay here again when our travels bring us back to SSI.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer - 770-354-5835

Host profile image
We have always loved coming to St. Simons to visit family and have dreamed of owning a home here. In the spring 2010 we stumbled upon a little cottage that needed help. After months of renovations and collecting furniture we moved in! It has become a retreat from our crazy everyday lives. Jim's Grandmother, Nannie, used to look around at a family gathering and say, 'Look, we're making memories.' We hope to spend many happy years 'Making Memories' here. We hope to to share it with others as well.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved the simplicity of this sweet island, the ablity to walk to the beach, ride bikes, eat wonderful seafood and just hang out.

What makes this property unique

Our little cottage is for a group that wants to spend time together. Unlike many of the larger homes on the island the Making Memories cottage has smaller cozy, yet open spaces. The oversized island and comfortable barstools allow everyone to help or just hang out in the kitchen. The open living area with it's Smart TV and lots of seating is perfect for movie watching and great conversation. A short stroll to many restaurants and the village also makes the cottage a great place to enjoy St. Simons Island.
