Beachview House has it all...Location! + Location! + *in* the Village! + Walk to Everything + Historic Charm

PLEASE NOTE- VRBO does NOT have the correct cancellation policy for Beachview House for SPECIAL SUPER PEAK WEEKS ONLY--- here it is...
9. Cancellation/Hurricanes: If you cancel your reservation for any reason you are entitled to a refund of your payments to us, less a cancellation fee of $250.00, provided that (1) for any rental including days from the “GA/FL week", "Thanksgiving", "Christmas", or "July 4th" time frames, you cancel 180 days in advance of your check-in date, There are no refunds for cancellations made outside of these time frames. If you think trip cancellation is a possibility for any reason, we strongly recommend purchasing "Trip Cancellation Insurance", which is available through most travel agents, insurance agents, or sites on the Internet. There are no refunds due to weather conditions, including hurricane evacuations, because Trip Cancellation Insurance is now available and very affordable. We strongly recommend that trip cancellation insurance is purchased. We can refer you to several possible sources of trip insurance, if needed. Every single place we have traveled to within the last seventeen years has required prepayment in full, 90 days in advance, with no cancellation possible, even for hurricanes and cyclones. We obtained trip insurance on each occasion, and it has provided a great deal of peace of mind for very low cost.

Having been doing this for so long, we know that the best way to make sure that the houses are a good fit for the guest AND that the guest feels comfortable with us and the rental process, we have ALWAYS talked to a first-time guest on the phone…. I mean, this is a big commitment of your hard earned money time- and NO WAY should you have anything BUT a stellar vacation trip---and on the other hand you are staying in our real live vacation home that we have put our heart and soul into, and it is important to us that the house gets taken care of- (we have had MARVELOUS results over the years talking to folks the first time- and our guests are very happy too because they feel like they get to know us too)

Don't you want to come to the sunny Golden Isles and enjoy the week by our fireplace and cook your meals in our FULLY stocked, REAL kitchen:>) ? Come enjoy the beautiful weather and the huge oversized fenced in yard with citrus trees...

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: Located directly in the village, you can walk to everything -- the pier, restaurants, shops, etc -- including the new ocean-front public water pool and water park (see photo #2 for birds eye view of location).

THE HOUSE: So, just what kind of a house is it? Well, this is the e-mail I received from the guest from April of 2015: "I am so excited that I can hardly stand it. I have traveled all over the world. To exotic places. And never ever have I been as pleased or felt more excited than I did today pulling into your lovely beach cottage. You have poured your heart and soul into this place and it shows. Perfect everything.“ "The house was absolutely wonderful - all of us loved it and hated to leave! From the porches to the wall decorations (you could be there years before examining them all!) to the well-appointed kitchen and the fenced in yard, it was perfect."

• Living Room: sleep sofa (queen size) with full bath (shower+tub)
• Bedroom Two: queen bed, full bath with modern shower/tub
• Bedroom Three: king bed; full bath with shower
• Bedroom Four: double bed; full bath with antique original claw foot tub

HISTORICAL: Beachview House was built in 1892 on Cumberland Island as three cottages. In 1923, it was floated down the Atlantic and reassembled in its present location as one cottage -- back then it was called the Gramling Cottage after the family that owned it the 1920's. By the time it was started to be restored, it was so overgrown, that many folks didn't even know there was a cottage on the property. It is blessed with a fabulous location - less than a block to the water and yet being INCREDIBLY close to town, in the middle of everything - The house retains much of its historic charm - original hardwood flooring - great beadboard walls - even the original claw foot tub! It is furnished with many comfortable antiques and high quality upholstery - but it is designed to be a place to put your feet up and relax to the pace of life that is St. Simons Island.
Remember it is a historic house so the kitchen is modern with dishwasher, fridge with ice in the door, but the stove/oven is not full size due to the historic nature of house

NOTE: The VRBO calendar is sadly buggy and despite our repeated attempts to work out the bugs with VRBO support, the calendar is not always 100% accurate. Please write or call to confirm dates. Thanks!

The perfect vacation home!!
My family and I had the most wonderful vacation at the Beachview Cottage! Carol is an excellent host and is always quick to respond to questions. The house is so charming and welcoming. We felt right at home from the start. The house is well stocked with anything you might need while you’re on vacation. We really appreciated the beach chairs since we left ours at home! We had three young children with us and they loved playing in the screened in porch. (They called it the Kids’ Clubhouse!) All of us enjoyed people watching from the porch. The location of this house is incredible!! We walked to the restaurants, the shops, the pier, the lighthouse, the water park and playground, and on and on!! Our family loved this house so much that we are already planning next year’s visit.

Wonderful, Relaxing Week
This was the perfect location for our family vacation. Almost everything was within walking distance, the house was spacious and had two porches to enjoy people watching and just relaxing. Very comfortable, well-stocked home.

Perfect location!
The Beachview House is a great property for St. Simons Island. The house is located in the village and within walking distance for anything you need. My kids liked that is was located across the street from the park. The house is charming with all the antiques and furnishings that you would need in a house. We felt like we were staying in a family members home. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting St. Simons Island.

Wonderful Stay on SSI
The house is the cutest and best located that I can imagine. It is old and historic and cozy and we couldn't get enough of it. We are going back in May to stay there. The owner was very accessible and helpful.
