Plenty of room, quiet beach location

This house was very big, rooms were enormous for the most part. Kitchen was very well stocked. Many interesting military artifacts, the decor was military as well. The beach is in a quiet area and the management was attentive to our requests. Very low traffic area good for walking my dog.

amazing location and place

Stayed a month at Colonel's Cottage mid Deemberc-mid January. The location was perfect, right on the sea and we loved sitting on the porch. Welcomed family for New Years and the cottage was perfect for a big group and dog friendly. Loved the history of the cottage. If you stay there be sure and read the article that tells the tale of the Colonel including his letter written just before landing for D-Day. It's a tearjerker and makes you proud to be blessed to enjoy the freedom and wonderful solitude that Colonels Cottage offers on St George Island!

The ocean view and the wraparound porch is wonderful!

The Colonel’s Cottage fit all of our needs. Clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked. Two refrigerators side by side a huge plus. TV included my premium sites, and local news via YoutubeLive. We will book again! Jim and Donna

Great house on the beach

We loved our stay here. Just two minor issues. Gates on the stairs outside would be great for the pets not escaping. Also, it didn’t look like the place was cleaned well. We ended up just wiping down areas. We would come back.

Colonels cottage

The cleanliness of the property was unacceptable. Dog hair all over the couches, blankets, and kitchen towels. We found roaches throughout the house. The upstairs bathroom door you couldn’t shut. The downstairs toilet you had to flush three times. We loved the porch but the outdoor furniture was falling apart and uncomfortable. We have been to raveling to st George island as a family for over 30 years and we really enjoyed this house but the cleanliness was unacceptable. Also small things in the house should’ve been taken care of. My father is a carpenter and had to fix three things the first day of staying.
