Cute Cottage 3 Blocks to Beach & Village! BRAND NEW remodel Fall of 2024!
Premiere location, furnishings, and linens. A 6 minute walk to the beach or 10 minutes to the Village. Enjoy dining al fresco, grilling, or relaxing in the privacy fenced back yard on the sun deck or covered porch. A large installed outdoor fan makes the warmer days cooler, and the chiminea makes the cooler evenings cozier. The home has a newly remodeled and nicely equipped, bright kitchen with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and white quartz countertops. The kitchen is open to the living room on one side and a separate sunroom on the other that can be either left open or closed off with sliding barn doors.
The home is furnished with comfortable and beautiful seating and bedding, four Samsung flat-screen TVs, Amazon Echo, wi-fi, and an in-wall safe. Beautiful, clean tiled floors throughout along with air purifiers make this pet-friendly home comfortable for everyone.
There is off street parking for three vehicles, including a driveway and additional paved parking in front of the house. There is a separate, indoor laundry room with a washer and dryer.
An outdoor shower with hot water is the perfect place to rinse off the sand or enjoy a shower al fresco.
A beach wagon, 2 umbrellas, 4 sand chairs, and an extra-large foldable dog crate are in the utility room, accessed from inside the garage.
This is our personal vacation home, and we maintain it to exacting standards both for ourselves and for our guests, whom we expect to be just as discerning as we are. If caring for and respecting someone else's property does not align with the way that you live or travel, this is not the vacation rental for you. This is a single family home and is not suitable for multiple or large extended families. No more than 6 persons may occupy the home at any time.
A cleaning Fee of $175, which VRBO identifies as "Host Fees" will be included in your total. This is the ONLY required "Host Fee." If you are bringing a pet, you should check the Box for Pet when making your reservation, and a $175 pet fee, which VRBO also describes as a "Host Fee" will be included in your total.
"Service Fees" are paid to VRBO as their compensation. VRBO collects local and state taxes and pays them directly to the tax collecting authorities, as required by law.
Service Animals:
1. Service animals must be leashed or harnessed at all times on property, unless the handler’s disability physically prohibits them from holding a leash. 2. Service animals cannot be left unattended in the property for any length of time. They must remain with the handler 24/7 during the stay. We use outdoor cameras to verify the animal is never left unattended by the handler for even a moment. If the animal is left unattended, the booking is immediately canceled with no refund. 3. Owners must clean up after the animal and dispose of feces in sealed plastic bags in the outdoor trash bin. Failure to properly clean up after animals will also result in immediate cancellation of the booking with no refunds.
These rules are fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Terms of Service with VRBO. There will be no negotiation, modifications, or exceptions granted to these rules. Continuing with booking constitutes a legally binding agreement to these rules.

Very clean, quiet and convenient location. Everything was within walking distance but a golf cart rental made it more convenient and fun.

Thank you for choosing our home for your wife's big birthday trip! We're happy you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again. And I agree -- in the heat of the summertime, a golf cart or bicycle rental is very nice!
If you dontmind being WATCHED 24-7 while on vacation or being told/ accused of using to much water and power for a family of 7, or maybe having friends and family stop in to visit after dinner, well this house would be perfect for you

This guest violated multiple house rules and damaged our home and personal property. This is not the type of family who typically stays in our home. We had to pay additional cleaning fees due to the poor condition. Our cleaner described it as "trashed." We checked our video doorbell, which revealed 5 vehicles (in excess of the 3 allowed) wedged into our driveway and on the street, and a multitude of people entering the house at all hours of the night. It became clear to us that multiple families had pooled their money to rent this single family home. The video doorbell also captured three dogs, one large standard sized poodle, a large brown lab puppy, both of whom exceeded the weight limit, and a small lap dog. The guest disclosed and paid for one dog and reported they would be bringing a service animal. Following is what we reported to VRBO:
This guest left the house exceedingly dirty. There was spilled dog food in the cabinets, grass in the refrigerator and freezer, red liquid spills that were not wiped up, and excessive dog hairs all over the comforters, bed skirts, furniture slipcovers, and floor. The house had been deep cleaned immediately prior to their arrival, but their 5 day stay necessitated another deep cleaning, including washing of the comforters, and they were the first guests to use them after their most recent washing. The house accommodates 8 people, but this guest had 10 or more people in the home. We allow up to two pets under 50 pounds for a $250 fee. This guest lied and said he was bringing one pet. He later said his step mother had a service animal. Our doorbell camera recorded two very large dogs, well over 50 pounds, one a large breed brown puppy and the other a white standard poodle type , and one small dog. We request guests cover the furniture and beds with the provided pet sheets if their animals use them. This guest did not comply. My cleaner charged me an additional $100 for cleaning, $85 to wash the comforters, and $50 to remove the excess trash. During their stay, I received notifications from Brunswick-Glynn County Water and from Georgia Power as to excessive use at this 1400 square foot property. We allow up to three vehicles. Doorbell camera revealed this guest had three full sized double cab pick up trucks, one full size SUV, and one full size sedan parked on our property. My cleaner noted fishy water on our porch. Upon review of the doorbell camera, we observed this guest draining dirty cooler water immediately outside the front door. One of our Samsung TV remote controls was visibly chewed by a dog, likely the large brown puppy, and kitchen shears were broken and put back into the drawer. Review of the doorbell footage also revealed many people entering the home and shouting and cursing outside, in violation of our house rules.
Second time staying here and it won’t be our last. They’ve done some renovations since our first stay and the house is even better. Great location, ample parking, clean house, and having 3 king beds is awesome! Bonnie is great to communicate with! Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Lauren, for your kind words, and for staying with us again. We love hosting fine folks like you!
The house is a lovely place for families to relax and enjoy a getaway. It's decorated so nice and just has a clean refreshed style to it. The sunroom was a perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee with ample seating for others to join. The beds are very comfortable and have plenty of closet space for storage. The outside shower was a nice surprise to clean up after a day at the beach. The seller has been a pleasure communicate with and has been accommodating to any questions I had. She also provided tips like renting a golf cart and making dinner reservations ahead of time. I highly recommend this place for your next family vacation!!! The neighborhood has so much character and all the houses are cute

Thank you so much -- YOU are a pleasure to host, and we hope you and your family come back.
Really enjoyed a long-term stay at this great property. Located on a quiet street with little traffic, we were close to the Village and East Beach. Everything is easily walkable. The kitchen was recently updated and very nicely done. The sunroom and back deck area was excellent. Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed hosting you, Robert. It was like having friends in our home!
The house was very cute. Close to village and Pier and many restaurants. The mosquito sprayer and Lawn maintenance walked into the fenced back yard unannounced. We know those things are scheduled but a heads up would have been nice.

I'm so sorry! They're supposed to ring the doorbell and speak to any guests who are there. I checked our Blink Doorbell and see that they did in fact do so. You may not have heard the doorbell, but it's recorded. Believe me, you WANT that mosquito treatment!
Love this property! This was a return visit since we liked it so much. Nice home, very pet friendly, well stocked kitchen and great overall location! Reached out to owner with questions prior to both our visits and she was very quick to respond and was very helpful with recommendations!

The cottage exceeded our expectations---the photos and description were great but the real cottage was even better!It was a cozy place for cooking, games and conversations while also an easy walk to the beach and downtown shops. We would definitely book it again!

Dear David,
We're happy you enjoyed Sea la Vie. We'd love to host you again.
We were very pleased with this property. The location was very convenient with an easy 10-minute walk to the beach or pier and shops. It was clean and updated with good appliances and spaces. All three bedrooms had king beds, which was great for our group. We had a problem with the lock on the house, but the owner was very responsive and helpful. I would stay there again!

You're a great guest! Thank you for your understanding about the lock. I'm 47 minutes into a telephone hold with Schlage Technical Support as I type this. Ha ha!
This was the perfect getaway place and location for beach access and the village on SSI.
Loved it.

About the host
Hosted by Randy and Bonnie Rich
We've been married for 24 years, have two college students and 2 rescue dogs. Vacations without our fur babies are bittersweet, so we want to have a beautiful, clean and safe place where you can enjoy vacationing with your pets.
Why they chose this property
We've been visiting St. Simons Island as a family for years. We love playing on the beach, walking under the old live oaks, kayaking the marsh, biking the streets, shopping and dining in the Village, and most of all, being a part of this laid back lifestyle with the people. Buying our own home here is a dream come true!
What makes this property unique
We've always been drawn to the quaint, older homes on the Island. We love that this house is 45 years old, has so much charm, yet is bright, updated and beautiful and is situated on a quiet street full of old live oaks and palm trees. We also love that we can park our car and walk to the beach and the Village or bike or golf cart anywhere else we want to go!
