REMINDERS: This Cottage is attached to our main house. We use this Cottage frequently for our family and friends.
No smoking means no smoking inside or anywhere on the property. This includes vaping as well.
Please do not unplug the cables to either TV. Both have additional HDMI slots if you want to plug something in. We have had occasions where it was unplugged and not plugged back in and the next guest called about no TV service. This also causes the router to be reset.
Max is 4 persons.
Dog weight limit is strictly adhered to. Contact us if you have a question.
No early (4pm) or late check outs (10am) without prior approval.
We do not accept a reservation with a check in or check out the same day as another existing reservation. The reason is because we follow the protocols for Covid cleaning and it requires about 4 hours to clean. We simply cannot get this done and schedule the cleaner in time to meet the 4 pm time.
We ask that you follow these and the other guidelines.

July 4th on SSI!

This condo was great for our stay at St. Simons. The walk to the beach was short and quick! We loved the neighborhood and all of the oak trees that shaded the streets. Saving this rental for our next stay on the island.

Beautiful cottage in a great location.

My husband and I and our dog Jenny spent the weekend at the Salty Dawg Cottage for his birthday and had a wonderful time. The cottage was PERFECT for us, new, clean with all amenenities we could want. Loved being in walking distance to the beach and village for restaurants and shopping. Definitely would rent again if available on a trip back to the area. First time at St Simons and are very pleased.

Clean, comfortable, convenient

It was the perfect location for a couple’s getaway. Equipped with all the necessities for making dinner, but also just a short bike ride to restaurants and shopping. With a small wagon, we could comfortably walk with all our things to the beach. No need for ocean front prices.We didn’t want to leave!!

Never been here … but we’ll be back!

I didn’t know St Simons Island existed, but now I do, and I know where to stay. This place was EXTREMELY CLEAN, and well prepared for all of us, including our young pup. (The owners even delivered dog bowls, biscuits, and a mat for the bowls on the floor.) The shower water was HOT! It was close to town and the beach. The neighborhood was wonderful, very quaint. SO GLAD we found this place!

Cute Beach Cottage

The cottage is so cute and very clean! The owner's home is attached to the back side of the cottage, but we did not see them. They are building a home next door, but we were unaware until we pulled up. I noticed they posted an update on their VRBO listing, but I didn't go back after I booked in early 2019 to read the property description another time. The owner's cannot do anything about someone building, but it would have been nice to be notified via text or email. Overall, a good experience at SSI! Thanks for sharing your beach cottage with us!

This is the perfect property for a couple, with or without a child. The neighborhood is quiet and super safe, and the village, beach, and other activities are within walking distance (1mi). It is very well stocked with kitchen ware, linens, towels, “good” TP and paper towels (IYKYK!), and all the basics. My favorite part of the property is the owners tho! Robyn and Mark are super responsive and will bend over backwards to make sure your stay is enjoyable. You won’t regret staying here!

We loved our time here. The location was perfect. We rented a golf cart and took it everywhere. So close to the beach, restaurants, etc. It was perfect for us and our pup. It is hard to tell from the description but this cottage is completely private from the main home. We highly recommend it. The host was exceptionally responsive to every question. We will be back for sure!!!
