Everything went smoothly. House was clean and well furnished. Was a bit further from beach than expected but was an easy drive. Just be aware there are no beach towels or chairs.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. In the information packet that was sent to you several weeks before your arrival we let you know to bring your own chairs and beach towels.
Not sure which beach you went to but our favorite is 5th Street Beach access which is only 0.3 miles away,
We had a wonderful stay at Kahlua’s Cottage. The cottage is clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and serve our Thanksgiving dinner with the family. Location is perfect for riding bikes to the Pier Village, restaurants, shopping and Gould’s Inlet (one of our favorite places on the island). We also loved that it’s pet friendly so we were able to bring our dog. Lots of room for everyone to spread out. We have stayed at many VRBOs on the island and Kahlua’s Cottage is one we would definitely go back to again!
Property was exactly as pictured, in excellent location. We were with in a mile of all the sights, beach, shopping and of course some of the best restaurants. Property manager Beverly was excellent making sure all our travel plans went smooth and very quick to respond with any questions. This house is equipped with anything you might need. We will be back next year. It was also perfect for our dogs
Great property. House and pool were awesome. Having a pool is the way to go on St Simon’s and this is a great place to stay. Beach a few minutes aways so having a golf cart definitely will help. Downtown area, lighthouse and restaurants close and easy to access.
Clean and cozy! Felt so much larger and open in person! Absolutely loved the porch swings. We all had such a great time. A short golf cart ride to everywhere you want to go. Thank you so much for an amazing family vacation. Saint Simon’s Island is such a special place.
House is much larger than it appears in pictures and the downstairs space is fantastic. Weather limited our use of the pool but we squeezed out as much as we could from the one sunny day we had. Will definitely book again.
We had an excellent stay at this beautiful home full of lovely coastal decor. Great location and bikeable everywhere. Responsive host. Highly recommend.
the property was as advertised, the pool was absolutely refreshing and we were a short distance from the beach and restaurants. it was a much needed restful vacation
This property has everything you could want, pool, porches, close proximity to the beach, comfy beds and lots of space. It was a perfect size for 4 adults. Definitely recommend this to friends and family, hope to be back!
Convenient, clean and the pool is an added bonus. Beverly was great to work with and incredibly responsive to our questions. Will definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay in this lovely cottage!
Just perfect for us!

About the host
Hosted by Beverly
Hi, we are the Jones. We have 3 grown children and 1 fur baby, our yellow lab named Brogan. Shelby, our oldest is married to Jessica and they have 2 children, Declan and Rosemary. They live in Dunwoody GA. Megan lives in Atlanta and Leslie lives in Houston. Mac and I live in the Virginia Highland area of Atlanta. You will be able to see when you stay at Kahlua's Cottage that we are huge Georgia Bulldog fans. We also root for Ole Miss as our daughter Leslie graduated from there. We have previously lived in Roswell GA, Houston Texas and Suwanee GA. Mac is a native Atlantan, and Beverly grew up in the Sandy Springs area of Atlanta. Both Mac and Beverly have been coming to SSI since childhood.
Why they chose this property
Having grown up in Georgia, both Mac and Beverly have been coming to St Simons and the Golden Isles since they were kids. We love the quaint atmosphere of St Simons. When we found the house at Cottages of Live Oak, the floorplan was so comfortable and made for a relaxing place for us to spend time with our grown kids, and friends and family. Kahlua's Cottage has fullfilled our dream and is very much a relaxing home away from home. The pool and hottub have really been enjoyed by all, especially Brogan. The location is perfect because we can walk or ride bikes to the village area and also to the area on Ocean Dr where Crab Daddies and Beachcomber BBQ(our favorite local restaurants) are located. We really enjoy walking Kahlua to the beach in the afternoon and sit on one of the pocket beaches (1/4 mile from Kahlua's) and watch the ships come in and out of the Brunswick Harbor. If we want to spend a day at the beach we usually go to the Coast Guard Station near East Beach and park there. The beach stays good there all day long(about 1/2 mile from Kahlua's). We also loved all the porches that Kahlua's Cottage has, the front porch, the screened porch and the top porch upstairs. It is a perfect day when we can sit in the rockers on the front porch and drink coffee, then ride bikes to lunch somewhere on the island, then go sit on the beach in the afternoon and watch the ships come in and out and then finish up by walking to Crap Daddy's for dinner. Then back home for one more stroll to the beach with Brogan. He loves being able to run on the beach by moonlight.
What makes this property unique
Great Location for getting to Village, Beach, and other areas of the Island!! Private pool and hot tub, and best porches around!!!!!The kitchen is stocked better than my kitchen at home!!!Check to see what the tide is doing before you leave the house, which is important since the beaches closer to the village tend to disappear during high tide, but the beaches towards East Beach are always good!
