Immaculate and updated cottage by the pier
This was the perfect getaway for me and my 2 dogs while our house was getting reconstructed from a flood. The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything we needed. I will be back.

Excellent - except….
Internet and cable issues as mentioned by several others. Maybe this is a SSI issue rather than a property specific issue since we stayed on SSI earlier in the year and had the same problem with another property (not associated with Lilmar). Very clean, nice neighborhood, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen, and prompt communication with Lilmar (they did their best to resolve the issue). I think this will be our last visit to SSI - but don’t let this stop you if communication with the outside world is not a priority for you!

Cute and CLEAN bungalow, perfect for a week getaway!
We stayed for a week in June at the Sanderling Cottage and we love this place! First off, it is the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in…not even dust bunnies on the wicker furniture! We had 2 kids, 2 parents, and 1 grandparent, and this cottage was the perfect size for us all to have separate spaces but be cozy together during gathering times. Perfect backyard for our very large dog…actual grass in the backyard and very sturdy fence. The owners have truly thought of everything and anticipated every need. The location is central to all the things we were there for…7 minute drive to East Beach, 3 minutes to the village, and far enough away to be quiet and private. We will 100% book to stay here the next time we come to SSI!

Not recommending this property even though it is a well stocked house.
Have to say I didn’t know we were right in the front yard of the airport. Crazy noise along with the construction across the street. I had a dog and this really should have been stated by the property manager. It was freezing this week we were here and the heat couldn’t keep up with cold. Half the windows in the house had the cold and moisture coming right though! Soaking wet windows and crazy cold! No cable ; just a lot of free channels offering nothing… the combo lock at the back door only worked twice during our stay which really had me wondering if someone else had access while we were there. The dishwasher only worked in one specific mode and it took 3 times to figure that out! Some instructions on the dishwasher, and Murphy bed would have been appreciated. The amount of money we were charged for off season- and then freezing on top of it- was totally ridiculous considering the issues. I do not recommend this property.

Wonderful Property (BUT)
The property was absolutely wonderful in every regard except one. We had a big problem with the internet service, which also sometimes affected the television service. We contacted the property manager who was very nice and promptly brought a "mobile hot spot", which gave us a second internet option, but that too failed from time to time. In previous comments on this site and otherwise it seems that the problem with the internet service has been known. Again the property was otherwise perfect as to cleanliness, location, neighborhood and as equipped. However if I was to stay in St. Simons again I would want some assurance beforehand that the internet service had been corrected. If I were a professional on vacation or just a person that uses the internet a lot, I would not be satisfied with the current internet service.

Perfect Weekend
The house was so clean which is the most important thing to me. There is a fantastic detailed notebook with all the information you will need for your stay in St. Simons. Beds were SO COMFORTABLE! Sheets were fabulous. We absolutely loved the pickle ball paddles and found the courts which were walking distance from the house. I loved all the windows, the yard, the games! It was a great weekend away.

Lovely home
We enjoyed this home. Was on a very quiet street but close enough to beaches and town. House was well appointed and very clean. Beds were very comfortable and pillows were too. Two things would have made our stay better: TVs in the bedrooms and a pool. All posted in the listing so I was aware ahead of time. We travel with one of our dogs do it’s challenging to find a comfortable place to stay that’s clean. This house didn’t disappoint. The host was very receptive to communication ahead of our stay and we honestly didn’t need them during our stay. We would definitely stay here again

Beyond Perfect
This cottage was absolutely perfect and if one was in the market for a home on SSI, this would be the one. Spacious, large fenced rear yard, friendly neighbors, and right in the heart of things. Within walking distance to the pier, lighthouse, shopping, restaurants, and the amazing Mallory Park, this is where we’d all want to be. I ended up staying by myself - husband was in hospital- but my pop and I found so many new adventures to explore. This is a 3-bedroom cottage, with one king, the singles, and a Murphy bed. And the kitchen was beautiful- the blue glass tiles looked handmade. (Master bath was a bit short on counter space, but wasn’t a problem.). I hope to stay here again, this time in spring with my husband. LOVED IT!

Adorable home and dog friendly!
The house was very comfortable for my husband and I to stay, along with our two dogs. The backyard was large enough for the dogs to run and play, and it had a nice privacy fence. I loved that there were outside dog toys already in the backyard. There is a nice patio with a table and chairs to enjoy the evening as the sun goes down. We didn't use the grill out back, but it was nice and clean for the next renters to use. The house was well stocked with everything you could imagine. I loved everything the kitchen had to offer. Plenty of kitchen gadgets and appliances for one wanting to use them. The master bedroom was all we used, but it was very comfortable and spacious for a rental. It took a few days for us to get used to the noise of being so close to an airport, but once we got used to it, we would sit out on the front porch and watch all the planes take off. The neighborhood is very nice, safe and friendly. I would recommend renting this house for anyone visiting the area.

Overall wonderful stay
The home has everything you could need and was very clean and organized. The area off the kitchen with the Murphy bed was the perfect office area for my husband as he did need to work while we were there. I reported an over abundance of ants in the yard while we were there and it was quickly remedied.

This was our first visit to Saint Simons Island and we absolutely loved our stay. The house was much more spacious in person than in pictures.

Perfect vacation near the beach
We had such a great time at Sanderling Cottage. The house was clean, well-maintained and equipped with beach toys, chairs and towels. The backyard was fenced and our 5-month old puppy adored it, roaming around and having a great time. The kitchen had everything one could need for extended stays, and there were many nice little touches, such as herbs and spices, board games, and supplies for our puppy. The house perfectly matched the listing, and the neighborhood was great. Easy cycle ride to the Pier Village and beach. We can't wait to come back.

Perfect Summer Stay
The cottage was a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home. Simply decorated with a beach vibe that included all the amenities anyone would need. The cottage was meticulous in every way possible and seemed pretty newly constructed both inside and outside. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful to relax and sit in the back yard and dream away while rocking in the hammock. The linens were fresh and crisp as if the were hardly used. It was very safe and gave a peace of mind if there are small ones involved, even the fury four legged children :) Just a wonderful way to start off the summer of 2021 and if all else goes the same way as our stay at this cottage went then life will be golden. By the way, I have never given a review before but this one was definitely worth sharing my thoughts.

Wonderful long weekend over Memorial Day
This cottage exceeded our expectations! It was super clean, comfortable and well-stocked. We were impressed with how many tools, spices and extra things were in the kitchen. Our 4 year old enjoyed all the kids’ board games. He also enjoyed being able to see and hear the planes take off- they weren’t loud enough to wake us up though, which was great. We also celebrated our little one’s 2nd birthday here. The location is very good, and we enjoyed having a bit of privacy too. SSI is such a beautiful hidden gem. We love it here. Thank you! We hope to be back!
