We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and well-appointed, and the grounds were beautifully maintained. The pool and hot tub were both clean and relaxing.Although we didn’t bring a dog, we didn’t notice any signs of pets in the home aside from a dog bed.Finally, Beverly was extremely responsive and helpful, especially when we asked for restaurant recommendations. We would definitely stay here again!

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!

Perfect Blend of Pool and Beach

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.

Great house, great stay

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.
