Three Friends Cottage - Fabulous Beach Home! w/ elevator

Three Friends Cottage is one of St. Simons' most spectacular vacation homes, located second position from the ocean in St. Simons finest vacation home neighborhood, Coast Cottages. It is just steps from two community pools and 100 yards from East Beach - one of the widest beaches on the east coast and the best on the island. Three Friends has 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths. The bottom level has 3 bedrooms, two with a queen bed and one with two twins, along with another sleeper sofa in the den. Updated furnishings pamper you in every room, from the separate den (a great place for the kids to watch movies) to the ultra-spacious living/dining/kitchen level. There are multiple dining and sitting areas in the home, allowing plenty of space to relax, spread out, or gather together.

The master suite is a retreat with ocean views from multiple vantage points and a spa-like master bathroom. The master bath has 2 water closets and an amazing walk-through shower with ocean views. It also boasts separate seating areas in the room and on the private terrace.

Excellent!

Our first trip to St. Simons and this house exceeded our expectations! We take several beach trips a year and this house was by far the best! Super clean, well stocked, close proximity to pool and beach. Easy check in and property manager answered any questions quickly. Highly recommend!

Family vacation

St Simons is a great place to vacation. Had a wonderful family paddle boat tour with Turtle Tides. The cottage was lovely and worked well for our set up. Really nice having the beach/pool option. My only recommendation would be investing in some beach chairs although the rental company provided some on short notice which was greatly appreciated.

A great week at the beach!

Warm ocean breezes, an amazing private beach with life guards, all the items needed for a fantastic week. The house is well appointed for families with living areas on all levels. The upstairs shower was awesome!! We went out to eat a lot this trip and we found lots of great spots for fresh seafood. The bowls at Fiddler’s were fan favorites!

Beautiful

We loved the 3 Friends Cottage. It was very close to the pool and beach. The elevator was a game changer for when we were loading or unloading or just too tired to take the stairs. Beautifully decorated and plenty of room - we could be together or find a private nook for reading. Should we return to SSI; I know where we will stay.

Four Generations - Party of 10

We loved the house and Coast Cottage neighborhood! The elevator was great for my older parents. The house is spacious and absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed being so close to the pool and beach. The house has everything you need including beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys and a wagon. The deck was wonderful for coffee in the mornings and just hanging out during the day or night. We hated to leave but hope to stay at 5 Coast Cottage again next year!

Girls trip October 2021

Four sisters and our mom spent a few days at Three Friends Cottage. The beach and pool access was excellent. We especially appreciated having beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cart available for our use. The house was beautiful and very well equipped. Bedrooms and bathrooms were just as nice as the photos showed. The kitchen and living area were spacious and inviting. We had planned to watch movies but we had so much fun we ran out of time. Really nothing to critique.

Suzi R.

My girlfriends and I rented Three Friends Cottage May 16 thru the 19th. It was an amazing house. None of us could come up with a single negative comment. All the bedrooms were perfect for our group. Especially the master suite. The master bathroom is so spacious and spa like. Even though we didn't do much cooking, the kitchen is very nice and had everything you could need. The cottage doesn't have a view of the ocean, but, it's just a short walk down the walkway. The pools are very nice too. One of our favorite things is the elevator. We are all in our sixties, so, it was super nice not to have to deal with the stairs all the time. I highly recommend this house for a relaxing get away in beautiful St. Simons Island!

Belated Friendsgiving

We arrived Friday for a late Friendsgiving weekend. The house was cozy, warm and welcoming. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked with all of our cooking needs for a feast. Perfect location, quick drive to downtown and grocery. Comfy beds. We would have preferred the downstairs living space to have a regular bed instead of the pull out sofa because that would have been more comfortable and the living room on main floor hosted all of our entertainment needs for our group. This was a perfect place for our group of 9 to enjoy quality time together.

Amazing house

We stayed for a week at the Three Friends Cottage with 10 family members and had a wonderful time. We made extensive use of the wide beach within easy walking distance and the swimming pool at the end of the street. The house has lots of interesting architectural features and an extravagant primary bath. We had a couple of appliance problems, but they were addressed very promptly by the property manager. The living space is spread over three floors and elevated one floor above the ground, so we got plenty of exercise on the stairs.
