Barron’s named Sea Island #1 on their list of “Best Places for a Second Home'. While its beauty and range of lifestyles and luxury, as well as its status as a “power alley” of influential residents, were noted, Sea Island was rated highest for its value. Outside magazine’s Adventure Advisor chose St. Simons Island as a “Best Fall Beach Escape” because our sandy beaches are largely employ in the off season while temperatures are sill in the 70s, and fishing, surfing, and biking are all possible. National Geographic Traveler included the Georgia Sea Islands, as its “99 Top Rated Places”. Speaking of golf, this is the perfect base for attending the PGA’s McGladrey Classic golf tournament held at Sea Island's fabled Seaside golf course.

Wonderful stay in the Golden Isle

Gorgeous house, super friendly host

The house is lovely and could not be better located on the island. The sprawling home has tons of space to host a big group without folks living on top of one another, a beautiful kitchen, and a game room that’s perfect for gathering. The hosts could not have been more accommodating or friendly. Would recommend this home to anyone - 10/10!!

Summer Fun at Sea Island

We had a great trip, enjoyed by all. There was plenty of room to spread out, and lots of activities to satisfy anyone. Some of us went to the beach club, and some of us stayed at the house all day enjoying the views and the serenity. We will be back.

Stunning setting and location

A very well managed beachside property on one of the most beautiful islands in the US. The house is well equipped and very well managed Ryan. The house could certainly do with some modernisation but overall a fantastic vacation experience

Spacious and comfortable home in Sea Island

This house was perfect for our group of grandparents, aunties, teenagers and 3 teens/pre teens. We loved the fun layout of the house and all the art work and other cool items to look at. The rooms were all large and spacious (except the bunk room but it was very functional). The kitchen was well stocked and had what we needed to grill and cook a few meals at the house. The kids really enjoyed having their own wing with pool table and ping pong table. The location on Sea Island is great. We used the bikes for a short trip to the Beach Club or you could just access the beautiful unspoiled beach right across the block from the house. Getting into the house was very easy and Ryan was helpful and very responsive throughout the entire process. We would definitely return for another stay. Thanks!

Fabulous Sea Island Cottage

We absolutely LOVED this house! Our extended family included 3 generations, and the layout of the house was perfect for spreading out & everyone having their own space. The teens had their own huge wing with pool & ping pong tables, tv area, bedroom, bathroom & kitchenette. The living room, overlooking the marsh (home to Gary the gator, who was a huge hit), was central to the house & was where we all gathered in the evenings before & after dinner. The bedrooms were all very comfortable, and the house as a whole was very beautifully furnished & well cared for. Lastly, Ryan was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. We can't wait to visit again!

Great multi-family home!

This is our 2nd time staying here and it was great! We had three families, all with young kids, so it was a great set up. The layout of the house is a little wonky, but great for multiple families because everyone can have their own space. The location is great and the lake view is awesome! There is an alligator in the lake (which is to be expected in this area) but the kids enjoyed playing in the front driveway or side yard. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Saunders

Host profile image
Ryan, our manager, grew up on St. Simons Island and from a young age started to help managing vacation properties for his parents and is now apart of managing Cottage 183. He knows the properties like the back of his hand and will make sure that you feel right at home during your stay. If you are missing a plate or need help getting an appliance to work, don't hesitate to give him a call.

Why they chose this property

This spectacular property is located directly on the marsh with a beautiful tidal pond. It has expansive views of the salt marshes of Sea Island and is a short walk to the beach. What really makes this house stand out is its size! It is over 5400 square feet and has a huge entertainment wing complete with a large flat screen tv as well as a pool table & ping pong table! It is large enough for most family gatherings or a casual weekend away from reality!

With five bedrooms and two kitchens it really is a unique property that I promise you will quickly fall in love with.


What makes this property unique

Cottage 183 has incredible views and has tons of room for you and your family/friends. Imagine yourself sitting out on the patio with your favorite beverage and watching the sunset over the beautiful salt marsh--you will not be disappointed!
