Book it now! From the quality kitchen dishes, silverware, glassware, etc. to the wonderfully decorated home, you will be happy you booked Sandy’s Cottage. The pool was wonderful! Close walk to the beach! Quiet area of the island. Easy checkin and checkout process. We had one issue and Sandy resolved it quickly. Overall, fantastic stay!

Thank you for taking the time to submit such a great review. So glad you were pleased with the house! Hope to host you again soon.
Outstanding rental property! Very nice updates, well stocked and even had some nice surprises you don't see in most rentals. Check in / out was easy and the owner was a pleasure to deal with!
This house was great for the 7 of us and we had plenty of space. The kids enjoyed the pool. The short walk to the beach was convenient. I would definitely stay here again!
We’ve stayed at many cottages on East Beach and this one beats them all. Great location, fantastic pool. Pool has a true deep end. The place was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Perfect Beach House with fantastic pool
We loved our stay at Hank's cottage. Comfortable and cute beach house. The kitchen renovation is fantastic and we loved the updated pool area as well. Easy walk to the beach. We will come back again and again!

Amazing place with everything you could possible need.
Sandy's cottage is beautiful. It is extremely well equipped, beautifully furnished and was immaculately clean.
The location is very close to the most beautiful, peaceful beach on the island and the pool is enormous.
The owner was very helpful and responsive to any questions.
We had a wonderful stay here and can thoroughly recommend this house and the location.

Perfect East Beach rental!
This house was amazing! Great location, close to best part of East Beach. Clean, updated and a kitchen with everything you could possibly need. Owner was so helpful and we loved the huge pool. So much attention to detail, even the landscaping was beautiful. Can't say enough wonderful things about this adorable home!

This is our second stay at Sandy's Cottage and I think we enjoyed it even more this time around. The location is perfect, quick 3 min walk to the beach. The pool is beautiful, the house is nicely decorated and the kitchen is well stocked. It's a very comfortable home for our family of 6 which is 2 adults, 2 kids and 2 college age kids. We will definitely be back again!

Thank you so much for returning to Sandy’s Cottage and for such a wonderful review! We hope to host you and your family year after year.
This is our 3rd stay at Sandy’s Cottage and we just love it.
Space to spread out and cozy spaces when you want to be close to your housemates.
A kitchen that is Actually Stocked with everything you need!!!
The pool is gorgeous and has just enough shade and all the privacy you need.
We will be back!
We love this property. The house is as advertised. It is very clean and nicely decorated. The pool is wonderful. Best of all is the nice, quiet East Beach neighborhood and it is only a 5 minute walk to best beach area on St. Simons Island. This is our second stay at Hank's Cottage and we look forward to coming again! Thank you Sandy for sharing your beautiful home!

Thank you Bill for returning to Hank's Cottage and for such a nice review. We hope we'll remain your chosen place to stay whenever to visit St. Simons Isle.
Spacious and beautiful home, tons of light, plenty of spaces for eating or playing board games, comfy seating throughout... clean with lovely touches. The 4 bathrooms were very handy, and we had lots of closet space and all that we needed. The pool was divine! We enjoyed a simple running path from the house, walked to the beach some, and appreciated the abundance of beach chairs provided. We also really enjoyed the refreshing 5-gallon water dispenser!When we realized that the family room TV wouldn't connect to the internet, after we tried everything with no luck, the owner had it fixed the same day. Not what we came for, but we really appreciated it. We'll be coming back here again!
Sandy’s Cottage was a perfect retreat for our 1st visit to the Golden isles. We loved the master bedroom with TWO en-suite baths walk-in closet and a view of the pool. We were a couple and enjoyed the extra bedrooms for office space etc, but the large one story open plan is perfect for a family get together. There’s a huge kitchen, lots of counter space and a choice of gas or charcoal for grilling. The pool was big enough for lap swimming and Sandy is a gracious, accommodating, and responsive host. Looking forward to return visit.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at Sandy's Cottage. Thank you for taking the time for posting such a fantastic review. We hope to host you again in the future.
We had a wonderful week at Sandy’s Cottage! There was plenty of room in the house for teenagers and adults to relax and unwind. The pool was much larger than expected and the patio is equipped with a lot of great seating and lounging options. The house is located a short walk to the beach and for anyone who likes to get out for some exercise, you can walk about 1.2 miles to restaurants or delicious custard and coffee at The Cottage at King and Prince. Make sure you set your alarm and watch the sunrise - it’s a beautiful experience. We had our groceries delivered by Harris Teeter upon our arrival through the Target 360 app, which was very convenient. Our favorite restaurant are Georgia Sea Grill, Southern Soul BBQ, and Barrier Island Brewery. We’ve been visiting SSI for more than 20 years and this was our first time at Sandy’s Cottage - we will definitely stay again!

Amazing home - cottage!!
We absolutely loved everything about this beautiful place!! Everything was so well appointed from the wonderful kitchen to the gorgeous bedrooms with great comforters & sheets! An abundance of nice towels in all 4 bathrooms. Most of all, it was immaculate, including the heated pool with extra-nice outdoor furniture! We have rented a lot of nice places, but our family all agreed that this was by far the best one yet!! We will highly recommend “Hank’s Cottage” to everyone, especially with older children ages 8 up who are good swimmers!!
Thank you! The Chapman’s

Thanks for such a wonderful review!! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at Hank’s Cottage. The house underwent a major renovation/update over the past 9 months. Given your comments, I realize the time and effort devoted to improving the property were well worth it.
The pool is not heated but does get a great deal of sun. The weather must have been warm enough before or during your stay to raise the temperature of the water.
Thanks again for booking your stay at Hank’s Cottage. Hopefully next time you can stay longer.
Loved this property! Beautifully decorated and landscaped. Thoughtful touches such as charging cube, pool towels, hot/cold water cooler, and TWO primary suite bathrooms, made it a lovely and comfortable retreat for us. Six family members (younger and older adults) stayed here for the week but we had additional family in town that joined us on multiple occasions for swimming, sharing meals (well stocked and appointed kitchen), and gaming. The house accommodated the larger group nicely! Location was great; easy beach access, nice sidewalks for strolling, and easy on and off of island when you wanted to venture elsewhere. Perfect choice!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a glowing and thorough review. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hank's Cottage! The home is exactly as pictured - comfortable beds, nice linens, well stocked kitchen, clean home. Well maintained pool! The floats and outdoor furniture are awesome! It was even cool enough a couple of nights to enjoy the firepit. The most impressive, in my opinion, is the beautiful landscaping! The landscaping adds to the overall ambiance of the home! The owners truly have done their best to ensure that this property can be comfortable and enjoyed by all who visit. We rented bikes and enjoyed the beach - the best on St. Simons! Thank you Sandy for sharing this home with us - we will be back and are actually ready to move in!

Thank you for such a wonderful review!! I'm so glad you enjoyed your time at Hank's Cottage and that the house was equipped with everything you needed. We hope the next time you visit St. Simons you'll book your stay here again.
My family and I come to St. Simons every summer. We usually stay in East Beach but we like to stay at a new house each time we come. This tradition has probably come to an end because we loved this house so much! The house was perfect for our family of 6. We loved the layout, having 3 separate bathrooms and the courtyard set up around the pool was perfect. Not to mention, the pool is big and clean and they had plenty of rafts for us all to enjoy. The kitchen is recently updated and it is quite beautiful and spacious. All of the linens were fresh and clean (didn't feel like old rental towels, etc). My one complaint would be that the mattress in the master is a little firmer than we like, but even so, we will be back! Forgot to add - the home has beautiful landscaping. It's just the most charming little ranch.

Thank you for such a glowing review. We try very hard to make the house as comfortable and equipped as possible. I have ordered a new premium Sealy mattress for the king room so your stay next time at Hank's Cottage will be absolutely perfect. Thanks again for your gracious comments and we look forward to hosting you and your family again.

Absolutely perfect for a family of 4
We will be returning to Sandy's cottage ASAP! The pictures do not do it justice. It is beautifully decorated and the layout is perfect. We loved that it was a ranch and that there were two living areas. We especially enjoyed the his/hers master bathrooms! They are small but comfortable and convenient. The owners have very sensibly placed alarms on all the doors to the pool, which gave this worried momma of a 2yo a lot of peace of mind. Any guests staying in the bedroom with two beds will have to enter the other bedroom to use the restroom. This was not a problem for us, as my husband was using the other bedroom as an office. Our two littles shared the bedroom with two beds. It's in a great spot in East Beach. The owner was very responsive. The beds were actually comfortable! Haha so rare, these days. It really was such a cozy, clean, lovely house. We could not have been more pleased.
