Beautifully and conveniently located only 225 steps from two community swimming pools and the gorgeous shores of East Beach, True Knot Cottage offers a glimpse of St. Simons Island at its best. This classic-yet-modern home was designed in the style of Charleston's side-porch cottages, providing a wonderful atmosphere full of Southern charm, elegant finishes, and cozy living spaces. You'll be able to walk to the pools, the beach, and the community sundeck each morning, and easily return home for lunch prepared on the gas grill or in the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Sip cold glasses of sweet tea beneath the ceiling fans on the side porch, spend the afternoon people-watching in rocking chairs on the front patio, and catch unforgettable sunsets on the third-level observation deck.

What's nearby:
This home is part of the Coast Cottages at St. Simons Island, which sit just a few steps from two pools, a sundeck, and an oceanfront pavilion on the sandy shores of East Beach. When you're not swimming, building sandcastles, or walking the beach at high or low tide, you'll be an easy bike ride (or an an even quicker drive) from the St. Simons Lighthouse Museum and the many attractions of Neptune Park, both of which are less than two miles southwest. Take out a kayak for the morning, tee off at the Seaside Golf Course less than three miles west, and sample a variety of restaurants that await on Ocean Boulevard.

Things to know
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
The beach is walkable at high or low tide
The pool can be heated upon request! 72 hours notice is required and a pool heat fee of $40 plus tax per day must be paid prior to check-in.

    This is a beautiful property, has everything BF you need for a perfect vacation. Roniece was the perfect host. I let her know I wasn’t going to be checking in until around 8pm and she made sure to leave the lights on for me. I can’t wait to book again❤️

    Great location near the beach. We loved the floorplan of the place and the community pool. There was mold around some air ducts in the living space – we all noticed that we got stuffy noses shortly after arriving. The sheets in the master bedroom were very scratchy. The decorative pillows and comforters in the kids bunk room were stained. The key was very difficult to operate in the lock – he had to jiggle it significantly every time in order to get it to work. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but the experience could have been improved with a few changes.

    We recently stayed at this home for our vacation. The location was great—just a short walk to the beach and pool—and the home offered adequate space for our family. It was also well stocked with beach gear and kitchen essentials, which we appreciated.That said, for the price we paid, we expected a much higher level of comfort, cleanliness, and hospitality. The home was outdated in style, and we were instructed not to set the AC below 72, making it uncomfortably warm at night and resulting in poor sleep. The master bedroom had only two flat pillows for the king-size bed, and the sheets were stiff and scratchy. Towels were stained, and many furniture items, bedding, and decorative pillows also had visible stains.All TVs were older models with only basic cable—no streaming or smart TV options—which was disappointing during a few rainy afternoons. The remotes were sticky and taped together. There was a cabinet of games, but most were incomplete and disorganized. No coffee was provided, and the “stocked” toiletries were half-used, old, travel-sized bottles.For the premium price, this rental simply didn’t deliver. Basic expectations—like cleanliness, coffee, usable toiletries, and a comfortable sleeping environment—were not met. While the location was great, we would not return.

    My tablestakes for a beach condo: very clean, kitchen appliances function, plateware/glassware plentiful & useful. Love the adequate cleaning supplies/trash bags and bathroom toiletries. Lovely, functional ACMattresses felt good with ceiling fans for air circulation. Wifi worked fine.Felt safe.Kudos for extras: Spacious with functional furniture; awesome kitchen space for hanging out. Covered porch is wonderful with great furniture. There are no stairs to the beach, which is very close and makes for an easy walk. In summary, would re-book.The only reason I don't give 5 stars is the lock situation, which I assume they know about since the directions included with playing with how far you put the key in the lock. We spent so much time trying to lock the house/ unlock the house and clearly they know those locks should be replaced, or re-keyed with a better quality duplicate. Since we encountered leaving and re-entering the house multiple times a day, you can imagine the frustration.Other than the lock, the house is beautiful, location perfect, and inside is wonderful for a beach stay.

    We stayed there for a long weekend to go to a family members wedding. The house was a perfect fit for my husband, me, and our kids.

    We loved true not four years ago and we still love it this time around. It is the perfect size for our family of five. You cannot beat the proximity to the beach and the wonderful heated pool. The house was very clean and beautiful. It is an idyllic place to stay, and we will come back again!

    We have stayed in this cottage before. It was very nice but we noticed some attention to detail issues since the last time we stayed. Bathroom shower drain slow...carpet had sand spurs still in it which are hard for vacuum to remove. Clothes washing machine would not cycle. Other than that, it was a wonderful stay and the weather was Chamber of Commerce perfect!

    Great location with our cottage being only a short walk from the beach and pool. The home was easy to access and easy to find. We especially enjoyed the three outdoor seating areas. We had kids of all ages and the spaces were perfect.
