Prepare your morning coffee in the drip coffee maker provided in the well-equipped kitchen. Start your day off right by sipping your favorite brew on the charming front porch, Enjoy the salty breeze and the sound of seagulls as you plan your day's adventures.

With the public beach access just a short distance away, spend your days building sandcastles, or simply basking in the sun. At low tide, take leisurely walks along the shoreline, collecting seashells and immersing yourself in the beauty of the coastline.

When you're ready to explore beyond the beach, the pier and village offer a myriad of activities and attractions. Indulge in local seafood delicacies, browse through boutique shops, or immerse yourself in the lively coastal atmosphere. There's never a shortage of things to do and discover in this vibrant beachside community.

The cottage was adorable and very clean. It is located right in the heart of the town. We walked to all of the restaurants, and enjoyed walking the pier. The only complaint we had was that the house is listed as having 2 queen size beds. One was actually a king, and the other bed was only a full size. The full size mattress very much needs to be replaced. My husband and i never had a good nights sleep.lighthouse could be seen from our stret.

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It is a very short walk from Pier Village, and the beach crossover is at the end of the street (about 25 yards). We would stay here again.

We loved the Oyster Shell cottage for several reasons. It's proximity to the Village for morning breakfast or coffee, being walkable to a tidal beach each morning during low tide. We spent time on the tidal beach each morning enjoying the peaceful tranquility of this nearly private little area. The house itself was perfect for the 3 of us: me, my spouse and 1 of our adult children joined us for part of the week. Check-in/Check-out very easy.

We loved our stay in at Shell Cottage. the location is great as we can walk to shops and restaurants and also the pier. The cottage was roomy and clean. One suggestion is that there needs to be more spoons at the place. Shannon was very helpful and quickly responded to all my emails. The checkin/check out process was very simple as well. We will definitely consider staying here again! Don and Lisa Cale

This quaint bungalow is steps away from the water and town. St. Simons is a special place that has great restaurants, a slow pace of life and family friendly.
