Welcome to Drift Away Cottage, Managed by Emmons Realty

Overview:
Drift Away Cottage is a beautifully remodeled and newly decorated beach cottage. This home was a 5 star vacation rental when we purchased it in January 2021. We have made a LOT of improvements to this home, so our goal is for guests to love our home even more.

Location:
Located in a charming neighborhood, the cottage is conveniently central, just 1.7 miles from a public beach with parking and restrooms. Nearby is Southern Soul BBQ, a popular spot featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives."

Cottage Features and Amenities:
The cottage offers a separate den and living room, a large laundry room, and a screened porch. There is a dining room that seats six and a large kitchen with new appliances and a breakfast bar. The outdoor space includes a private fenced yard with a covered pergola, firepit, and Adirondack chairs. The cottage is a single-story building for easy access. It is equipped with a HALO-LED™ air purification system. This system treats every cubic inch of air conditioned space, reducing airborne and surface microbials, bacteria, viruses, mold, odors, VOCs, allergens, dust, and particulate matter.

The home includes Wireless internet. Please note the outdoor cameras at the entrances. This is a non-smoking or vaping home. Additionally, emotional support animals are also not permitted

Great Short Getaway Trip
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was such a great find in a quaint neighborhood on SSI for our first trip to SSI. The home was very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. The decor was fresh and just the right amount of "beachy/artsy". Our visit was too short to use the firepit and grill space, but it was a fabulous addition to the home with a private fenced backyard. The little screened porch was a favorite spot for coffee and reading/studying. The owners truly thought of everything for a comfortable stay. The distance to the beach was a short drive. We visited both East Beach and Gould's Inlet. Both were very crowded over Memorial Day weekend....not sure if this is the norm for all summer? It was a short walk through the neighborhood to Redfern Village for doughnuts, coffee, and yogurt. We enjoyed our stay and short venture around the island and hope to return to SSI again!

A Great Girls Getaway!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was the perfect setting for our girls getaway. The location of the house was so close to everything whether we were doing some shopping, going to the beach, or getting dinner. The outdoor area was perfect for charcuterie and chatting by the fire. We had the best 5 days!

Check in
The only hiccup in my check in process was I did not receive a code before arriving to the house. I spoke with an after hours call center and they remotely unlocked the door for me. She informed me that someone would call me within the hour with my code. I did not receive that call. I attempted to call the after hours center again with no response. I began to text the after hours. Shortly after I received a call from Kathleen. She had some issues with her phone. She was super accommodating and helpful with me getting a code. Soon after that I received a text from Bryan, the manager. He was great and helpful with assisting me also. For the inconvenience, he delivered a gift card to the residence. I was on St Simmons for a law enforcement conference. My last class was on Wednesday from 8:30 until 10:30. I knew checkout was at 10:00 and I knew I would not make it back in time for check out, I spoke with Kathleen about the issue and she accommodated me with an extra hour. Everything with the house and management was great....will definitely rebook with them.
