Labor Day getaway

Wonderful location, walking distance to the best the island has to offer. Very clean, well furnished and decorated. Truly felt like we were staying in a beach house. The owner was exceptionally receptive to questions (best food, things to do, etc.) and response to our every need. Great place to stay for those looking to experience the island by just walking out the front door!

Great cottage!

Stayed here for a long weekend. So clean upon our arrival, great location (5 min stroll to beach is accurate, restaurants/shopping close by, check-in/check-out was a breeze). We plan to come back next summer (if not before) to this rental. Thanks Melanie for providing this little gem for others to enjoy.

Perfect location and neat as a pin

Located steps from beach access and Crabdaddy’s (our favorite) we can’t recommend this updated property more strongly. Perfect for two adults and two children, the house is well equipped. Cable televisions, WiFi, washer/dryer, new appliances and even a beach tent and chairs are available for use. Everything is ONE level, from parking to living quarters. We will be back!

Fantastic

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our long weekend stay at this perfect duplex cottage! The owner has thought of everything! House is stocked with all the necessities including a full gas tank for grilling! Just a short leisurely stroll to the beach. The swing was heavenly in the evening. Restaurants and market a stones throw from the rental. We will certainly be returning soon!

Perfect Getaway Spot!

This is a beautiful, completely updated property. Everything was as described and pictured -- only better! Sparkling clean featuring beach decor and a perfect kitchen, stainless steel appliances, plus a washer and dryer. Walk a block to the beach. Walk to nearby restaurants. Short distance to the center of town. We were so happy to have Melanie's list of restaurants - Palmer Cafe is a classic for breakfast. We had a wonderful dinner at Tramici and a great lunch at Mullet Bay. We enjoyed every minute of our visit and believe we found the perfect location. We don't believe we could do better for amenities and location. We had a lovely day of golf at Sea Island Golf Club - so beautiful. One of our favorite historic strolls is through Fort Frederica, a national monument and one of the few British settlements to explore and imagine. Highly recommend as a couples getaway!

Clean, convenient comfort

We loved renting this beach cottage for spring break last week. The house was very convenient to the beach (short walk), steps from restaurants (lunch cafe, Crab Trap, Crab Daddy's, BBQ) and it was recently renovated. It's adorable, nicely decorated with brand new appliances including a washer and dryer. We also enjoyed using the outdoor grill to cook dinner one night. After the beach the outdoor shower (with cold & hot water) was great to rinse sand off. The house was the perfect size for a family of four. It is a duplex but we never heard a peep from the other renter. The house was very quiet inside. There is room to park two cars and room to park bikes in the back of the house. My only suggestion would be to add a mirror in the master bedroom. If someone is using the bathroom the only mirror available is in the twin bed room. Great and responsive customer service. I would recommend this house to family and friends.

Perfect Stay!

We very much enjoyed our stay! Nicely decorated and super clean and we couldn't believe just how close to restaurants that it truly is. While it sits in town, it's also in a quiet neighborhood. This unit is part of a duplex but we never heard the family on the other side. Parking sits in front of the home so you don't have to worry about getting a spot. The beach is two(ish) blocks down a quaint neighborhood street. We'll get a golf cart or bring a wagon next time because it was a bit far to walk back and forth with our hands and arms full. The hose at the house was helpful to clean off our sandy feet when we got back. We didn't use the outdoor shower but there is one available. Lots of people riding bikes around giving the whole town a whimsical feel. We can't wait to come back and stay longer!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie

Host profile image
We fell in love with St Simons in 2003. We owned another cottage and vacationed on St Simons for 7 years until we finally made St Simons our home. We saw this property for sale and had a vision of what it could be with some renovation. We lovingly and tediously planned each detail to be a place to vacation, retreat and make memories!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the wonderful location. It is so close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. We also had seen this duplex for a long time and felt like it had such potential.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of Tidewater Retreat is that it offers so many options. If you are traveling with another family, it is nice to each have your own space but be together when you want to.
Its perfect for Grandparents that are coming along on vacations or even teenagers that want a little Independence but you are still under the same roof. Each side is available to be rented by itself.
