St. Simons Vacation Rental – Front Exterior - This St. Simons vacation rental welcomes you with shady oaks, a classic screened porch, and a gravel path to the fully fenced yard. Normandy Cottage is one block from the beach—and built like the beach house you always hoped to find.
Fenced Backyard – Normandy Cottage - The fully fenced backyard at Normandy Cottage is part shade, part sun, and all yours. Adirondack chairs for happy hour, umbrella table for snacks, and enough space for the dog to do laps while you don’t.
Living Room Seating – Normandy Cottage - Another view of the Normandy Cottage living room: wide windows, real conversation seating, and a recliner that might become your favorite part of the trip. This is your post-beach command center.
Dining Room – Normandy Cottage - The dining room at Normandy Cottage has room for the whole crew—whether it’s oyster night, pizza night, or just a long breakfast with nowhere to be. Bonus points for the beadboard ceiling and vintage glow.
Kitchen & Island – Normandy Cottage - One last look at the Normandy Cottage kitchen—because yes, it really is this charming from every angle. Island seating, vintage open shelving, and just enough space to argue over what’s for dinner.

About this property

3-Min Walk to Beach • Dog-Friendly • 1940s Charm • St. Simons Island

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
This St. Simons Island vacation rental is a 1940s original with a fenced yard, a screened porch, and just enough space to keep the peace between the night owls and the early birds. It’s a beach cottage with a big map: 0.2 miles to the closest beach, 9-minute walk to Crab Daddy’s, and a 12-minute walk to Porch for the best Nashville Hot Chicken in the Golden Isles.

Normandy Cottage is no novice when it comes to showing people a good time. This pet friendly St. Simons vacation rental has open shelving in the kitchen and a breakfast bar that encourages a diet that starts right after the beach trip ends. The living room has board games, hardwood floors, and real seating for real conversations. Stretch out, veg out, and tune out.
