Old Bay Cottage - 505 Beach Dr
Welcome to Old Bay Cottage, a charming retreat that feels like a hug from the moment you step inside. Thoughtfully refreshed with all-new furnishings, a brand-new fully stocked kitchen, and a sparkling new bathroom, this sweet cottage blends modern comfort with timeless coastal character.
THE SPACE
Bedroom 1 – King, TV (sleeps 2)
Bathroom 1 – Shared Hall bathroom with Shower
Bedroom 2 – King, TV (sleeps 2)
Outdoor shower to rinse of the sandy toes from the beach.
Step outside to your peaceful backyard with a gas grill—a quiet oasis perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening conversations under the stars.
And the location? Simply perfect. Nestled between the Village and the Myrtle Street Beach entrance, you're just a short .03-mile stroll from the sand. The beach is practically your backyard, too. And don't miss the screened-in front porch, complete with a classic swing. There is no better spot to sway gently in the breeze, listen to the birds, and let the worries of the day drift away.
Whether you're here to soak up the sun, explore the island's shops and restaurants, or simply unwind in a place that feels like home, Old Bay Cottage welcomes you with open arms.
Come relax. Come recharge. Come make memories at Old Bay Cottage.
We're located mid-beach - halfway between the St Simons Pier Village and East Beach. This stretch of beach is not tide dependent and has plenty of walking distance in both directions. We're walking distance to local restaurant favorites like Crab Daddy's, Barrier Island Brewing, Fiddlers, and Porch.
