Property details

This Is It — This classic oceanfront cottage is quintessential vintage St. Simons Island. This spot is perhaps one of the best on the island. Every sunrise is pure magic. . . . THE SPACE The first floor is designed as a place for your family to enjoy one another and enjoy the beach and heated pool. The large living room and dining room provides ocean views from nearly every spot - back of the house is a wall of windows looking out over the Atlantic Ocean with views of the Sea Island. King guest bedroom: Off the great room, there is a large guest room with attached bath with ocean front view and features a king bed, flat screen TV and en-suite bath. This room will accommodate up to 2 people. The second floor features 3 bedrooms to accommodate up to 6 people. Primary king guest bedroom: The master bedroom has an ocean front view and features a king bed, flat screen TV, en-suite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. King guest bedroom: The second room has an ocean front view and king bed. There's a big flat screen TV. Twin guest bedroom: The third bedroom has a twin bed, big flat screen TV, and lots of natural light from floor to ceiling windows. As you will note in our photos, the house backs up directly to the ocean and you can walk past one house to access the sand. Ocean views are panoramic from inside the house, the sound of the ocean waves is so relaxing, and the aroma of salt air is unmistakable so close to the water's edge. The ocean front pool is like no other option on St Simons. The ocean facing side has a sunning deck that hosts 4 beach chairs so you can enjoy the sun, views, and sounds of the water without leaving the back yard. There is also a large covered porch off the living room that provides shade while you enjoy all the views and ocean breezes. The pool can be heated for a $75/night fee. (see details) "This Is It" with all its nostalgia and St. Simons memorabilia is perhaps the most unique and beautiful place you can stay when you visit our island. Why Stay on East Beach: The stretch of beach along the ocean side of St. Simons Island is known as East Beach. A quant neighborhood of single-family homes begins at the access point of the U.S. Coast Guard Station at the northern tip and ends at the southern point of Gould's Inlet by access of Bruce Drive, which runs down the center of East Beach. The Coast Guard Station houses the present home to the World War II Home Front Museum. MORE INFO . Pets: This is not a pet friendly home. Heated Pool: This property offers a heated pool option.

Great location and view. The pool was very nice. This old home needs a lot of maintenance: - Keurig did not work but was replaced the next day, - porch door was inoperable and porch ceiling fan did not work, - upstairs shag carpet did not feel clean, - found roaches and droppings in house, - deck boards are very rough weathered, - we expected more given the price paid, - Lighthouse tried to respond to issues but these are owner issues that cannot be addressed in a weekend.

Nice View. Very walkable to a beach area. Management was easy to deal with. I don't write negative reviews often or lightly BUT... This place is very tired. The inside smelled horrible. Mouse droppings on the counter. Outside lights and fan were rusty/didn't work. Doors were hard to open/operate. Kitchen was a hodgepodge of old equipment. Deck left multiple splinters in everyone's feet. Furnace for the 2nd floor constantly cycled on and off and was VERY loud even when being kept at 74 degrees. 2nd floor owner's shower is VERY small and the shower head was abnormally low making it hard to shower in. Yard and pool are smaller than the pictures suggest. We weren't expecting a brand new building. But, for the cost we were expecting this to be a very well kept property with appropriate maintenance.  With a little love this place could be really nice! But, it currently feels like a place that has been chronically rented with little to no updates and maintenance to cure the obsolescence.
