Wonderful location! Lovely place!

We had a fantastic time at Tidewater Retreat. Melanie was very responsive and full of southern grace and charm. The decor is perfect for St. Simons and has everything you need. It is close to several good restaurants and one block from the beach. We definitely want to come back!

Cute place and great location

We love st. Simmons and this little house did t disappoint. The house was nice and clean. Well setup and nicely decorated. It is on a main road but we were pleasantly surprised that in the house you couldn’t hear the traffic at all! Will definitely stay again.

Great Location, Cozy Cottage

LOVED this cottage! Located just a couple of blocks from the beach, close to The Crab Trap, easy access to shopping by the pier. Adorable inside, had everything we needed, even a couple of puzzles which were great for the evenings once we returned. Beds were really comfy (and I'm picky about those), AC worked like a charm for the unusually warm days we had in Feb. Melanie was quick to respond to messages. Had a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend and hope to stay there again next visit.

Exactly what our family of the three needed! Exact size, location and the amenities were fantastic. Very quiet and just a quick walk to the beach. The property manager had great communication. I’d definitely return to this spot—hopefully soon!

Cute, clean and central

We had a wonderful stay. The unit was clean and equipped with everything you may need. It is beautifully decorated. I found the location very central. You can walk to the beaches. Its just a short drive or bike ride from the Village area and shops. If Im ever in St. Simons Island again, I would happily stay here!

Perfect little bungalow!

The pictures do not do this little charmer justice! Well equipped, cozy, and clean. Ed and Melanie were wonderful to work with. The location is perfect! Just steps to Crabdaddy’s and public beach access. The outdoor shower was amazing! Kept the sand outside where it belongs! We will totally stay here again!
