Rocking chair front porch leads to light and airy kitchen (anchored with a huge blue island), dining area and vaulted great room. Shiplap walls throughout the main living area, 8' doors, owner's suite and additional bedroom on main, hardwood floors throughout. Convenient laundry room w/cabinetry and sink. Kitchen w/farm-style sink, stainless appliances, an abundance of cabinetry and lots of counter space. Kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you! Pantry barn-style door leads to walk-in pantry with plenty of shelving. Dining table offers seating for 10, Island offers seating for 6. Oversized screened porch with patio furniture and a TV leads to a large covered porch with grill and additional seating area - All overlooking the lagoon-style pool and hot tub. Fenced backyard fully equipped with lounge chairs, umbrellas and tables & chairs. Firepit for gathering on those cool evening nights (bring your own wood). The house is on a whole-house water filtration system. Note: the interior fireplace is for looks-only. It does not function.

**Minimum age of renter is 35 years old, ID required at time of reservation.**
**Property Damage Deposit is $1500.00**

Bedrooms: Owner's Suite and an additional bedroom on the main. The owners suite has a vaulted ceiling with ceiling fan and double French doors leading to covered back porch. Private bath offers double vanities with lighted vanity mirror, oversized shower w/dual shower heads, separate water closet, and large walk-in closet. Additional bedroom on main has access to half bath but will have to either use owner's suite shower or upstairs shower. Upstairs offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 with attached full bathrooms, one king bedroom is across the hall from the bathroom. All upstairs bedrooms have TVs with cable, ceiling fans, canned lights and hardwood floors.

Outdoor entertainment: The lagoon-style pool with hot tub is 16' x 32' and has 4 pool-width sized stairs- perfect if you just want to sit and watch everyone play. The pool can be heated for an additional $200 per day however we would need advanced notice at time of final payment so we can plan for it. The fire pit is great for relaxing in the evening (bring your own firewood) and is accented with outdoor lighting. A large TV is mounted on the screened porch for easy viewing. We have a homemade game board barrel table for checkers. We also have books, cards and puzzles.

Location: We're conveniently located at the corner of Arnold and Demere (pronounced De-ma-ree). We are less than 1/2 a mile to the beach (Massengale Park which is an access point to East Beach, has bathrooms, shaded picnic tables and play ground) and 1 mile to The Village (quaint square with shopping, dining and the pier). Demere park is across the street with a playground, skate park and baseball field - great for play. Fiddlers, Crab Daddy's, Crab Trap, The Still, Beachcomber BBQ & Grill, Barrier Island Brewery and bicycle rentals are located at the next corner on Arnold and Ocean Blvd. King and Prince is at the end of Arnold (just one block further). "The Friendly" gas station is just down the street from us and is great for those last minute items you forgot (butter, milk, firewood and the like). Golf cart rentals are available in The Village and make the stay even more enjoyable.

We built this home with our family in mind. We hope you enjoy your stay and make it an annual tradition to come again. We entrust our home to you and ask that you take great care of it. We're glad you chose to spend your vacation time at the Blue Island Cottage.

Note: we do not rent the property for the GA/FL Game weekend.

Excellent home for a vacation rental!

We had a fantastic stay at this VRBO rental! The home was immaculate, with top-notch cleanliness and wonderfully soft, high-quality linens. The amenities were exactly as described—and then some. The highlight was the beautiful pool, which quickly became our favorite gathering spot. Communication with the owners was smooth and responsive from start to finish. It was the perfect place for our group of friends to relax and reconnect. Highly recommend!

Blue Cottage - Amazing

House was amazing. Very nice high-end home. Most well stocked home of any we have ever rented. Did not need anything. Close to everything you want to do. Hosts were very responsive. Would highly recommend this place. When we go back to St. Simons Island this will be the first place we check to see if it is available.

Family gathering for a wedding

This home is beautiful! Many thoughtful extras to ensure that your visit is very comfortable (good beds too!). One example: we lost power due to the hurricane but we still had nightlights (even in the bathrooms) because the owners added rechargeable large lights - wow. Wonderful location & kind owner who checked in to make sure we had what we needed during the outage. THANK YOU!!

STUNNING home with plenty of room

Our team of 7 stayed here as a retreat and to plan for our business in 2025. When I was looking for a home to rent, I really wanted something on the beach. This home kept coming up on my search, so I took a leap of faith. This home has a ton of space and comes equipped with everything you would need to enjoy your time there even down to beach towels that I had forgotten. The beds were very comfortable, the multiple gathering space were perfect, and the backyard was so peaceful. We didn't one time miss the fact that we weren't looking at the water, and we hope to come back again next year!

The perfect beach house for large families

This was our third time staying here and, as always, had a wonderful visit. We were there with our 5 adult children, son in law, 2 daughters in law and our 1 yr old granddaughter. Plenty of room for everyone. The well appointed kitchen was perfect for cooking family meals, having a laundry room is fantastic and the beautiful pool is always enjoyable. I would have to say the location of the house is perfect. We ride bikes everywhere and to dinner most evenings. Tons of close by public beach accesses. Communication with the owners is excellent .

Perfect for large family

We LOVED this house! Everything was in excellent condition, I especially loved the comfy beds! We had a party of 15 ranging from 6 to 75 yrs. Everyone had their own space when needed and we loved gathering on the back porch each night to watch the kids swim and enjoy a cocktail! We plan to be back next year!

Beautiful, comfortable house

We have visited St Simons for the last 30 years and this house is the nicest we've stayed in. It was in beautiful shape, very well equipped for our family of 14, and very comfortable. The pool area is lovely, the kitchen easily accommodated us, the dining area was actually big enough for all of us, and the house is well stocked from everything from dishes, cookware, other essentials such as beach towels, etc. The owners were easy to contact and very responsive. We highly recommend it for a family stay.

Family Reunion

Wow! They thought of everything. We travel about 3 or 4 times a year, and this is hands down the best place we have stayed. Everything you could want or need is there. We all came prepared for what we usually have found we have to go buy. We never had to touch it. If I had to say anything It would have been nice to be able to run the pool cleaner at night. Other than that it was amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Laura and Rick Edwards

Host profile image
We live in Atlanta Georgia and love the south. St Simons Island is our get-away place. It's so relaxing and the people are so friendly.

Why they chose this property

This home was built with our family in mind. We have enjoyed coming to St Simons Island for years. We've had a great time every time we come. We relax and enjoy the town and all of its activites, shops and restaurants. Hopefully you will make it a tradition to start coming here too (or continue your tradition if you've already been coming to this little slice of paradise).

What makes this property unique

We love the open layout, private setting, and the quality of construction. It's very close to the beach and village with parks all around us.
