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.

No Better Spot in East Beach

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!

Best master suite ever

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.

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!

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

Family Vacation

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!

SSI week

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!!

Fabulous East Beach Get Away

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!

Our Favorite Spot in East Beach!

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.

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.
