PLEASE NOTE- VRBO does NOT have the correct cancellation policy for Beachview House for SPECIAL SUPER PEAK WEEKS ONLY--- here it is...
9. Cancellation/Hurricanes: If you cancel your reservation for any reason you are entitled to a refund of your payments to us, less a cancellation fee of $250.00, provided that (1) for any rental including days from the “GA/FL week, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or July 4th time frames, you cancel 180 days in advance of your check-in date, There are no refunds for cancellations made outside of these time frames. If you think trip cancellation is a possibility for any reason, we strongly recommend purchasing Trip Cancellation Insurance, which is available through most travel agents, insurance agents, or sites on the Internet. There are no refunds due to weather conditions, including hurricane evacuations, because Trip Cancellation Insurance is now available and very affordable. We strongly recommend that trip cancellation insurance is purchased. We can refer you to several possible sources of trip insurance, if needed. Every single place we have traveled to within the last seventeen years has required prepayment in full, 90 days in advance, with no cancellation possible, even for hurricanes and cyclones. We obtained trip insurance on each occasion, and it has provided a great deal of peace of mind for very low cost.

THE HOUSE: So, just what kind of a house is it Well, this is the e-mail I received from the guest from April of 2015: I am so excited that I can hardly stand it. I have traveled all over the world. To exotic places. And never ever have I been as pleased or felt more excited than I did today pulling into your lovely beach cottage. You have poured your heart and soul into this place and it shows. Perfect everything.“ The house was absolutely wonderful - all of us loved it and hated to leave! From the porches to the wall decorations (you could be there years before examining them all!) to the well-appointed kitchen and the fenced in yard, it was perfect.

• Living Room: sleep sofa (queen size) with full bath (shower+tub)
• Bedroom Two: queen bed, full bath with modern shower/tub
• Bedroom Three: king bed; full bath with shower
• Bedroom Four: double bed; full bath with antique original claw foot tub

HISTORICAL: Beachview House was built in 1892 on Cumberland Island as three cottages. In 1923, it was floated down the Atlantic and reassembled in its present location as one cottage -- back then it was called the Gramling Cottage after the family that owned it the 1920's. By the time it was started to be restored, it was so overgrown, that many folks didn't even know there was a cottage on the property. It is blessed with a fabulous location - less than a block to the water and yet being INCREDIBLY close to town, in the middle of everything - The house retains much of its historic charm - original hardwood flooring - great beadboard walls - even the original claw foot tub! It is furnished with many comfortable antiques and high quality upholstery - but it is designed to be a place to put your feet up and relax to the pace of life that is St. Simons Island.
Remember it is a historic house so the kitchen is modern with dishwasher, fridge with ice in the door, but the stove/oven is not full size due to the historic nature of house

    The host was great at answering correspondence. The house was so amazing. Such a beautiful piece of history and perfect location!! Super super clean and had everything we could have imagined needing during our stay.

    We loved the Beachview House. The layout provides privacy with everyone having their own bathroom, yet many communal spaces that invite connection (screened porch, front porch, upper porch, dining area). Hosts have thought of almost anything you would need. Host is very friendly and responsive. On day 1 we thought ice maker wasn't working, and host responded immediately and had a new one dropped off in less than 24 hours! Location is amazing for walking, golf carting, and TONS of reserved parking. We never had to worry about having our own spaces. Area is SUPER SAFE and cute - felt safe 24/7 walking home from bar at night and walking the dog at 6AM. Speaking of dogs, let's talk about dog friendly - it doesn't get better than the Beachview House; secure fencing, generous yard, screened in porch, puppy sheets if needed. The locals are SO VERY NICE and accommodating. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Carol!

    The property is perfect for 2-6 people and two dogs, with comfortable beds, a nice living room, small workable kitchen and a fenced-in yard. It is well-equipped with thoughtful touches throughout. The house is older, but fixtures/appliances work as they should. Communication and check-in were excellent. The location worked for us, with an asterisk. The property is near the center of the village and the ocean. Every day we walked a block to the beach with our dogs, which are allowed there outside of 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Once you reach the beach, you can walk in bare feet for miles. Also within walking distance were a couple dozen restaurants and beach shops. Meals at the restaurants we tried were good but not great and priced similar to Atlanta. More restaurants/shops were a 5-minute drive away. The asterisk is the flip side of all that convenience. The property is near a visitor's center, the beach and tons of restaurants/shops, which means there's a constant flow of people/vehicles around the house. Some vehicles had loud music/exhaust systems. This wasn't an issue during the day since the house muffles noise fairly well, and most weeknights things settled down by 8 p.m. However, on Friday/Saturday nights, the area gets rowdy and doesn’t quiet down until midnight. You could find more modern homes on quiet residential streets on the island, but then you’ll give up the convenience of being able to walk to everything. We were happy with our choice.

    My family and I had the most wonderful vacation at the Beachview Cottage! Carol is an excellent host and is always quick to respond to questions. The house is so charming and welcoming. We felt right at home from the start. The house is well stocked with anything you might need while you’re on vacation. We really appreciated the beach chairs since we left ours at home! We had three young children with us and they loved playing in the screened in porch. (They called it the Kids’ Clubhouse!) All of us enjoyed people watching from the porch. The location of this house is incredible!! We walked to the restaurants, the shops, the pier, the lighthouse, the water park and playground, and on and on!! Our family loved this house so much that we are already planning next year’s visit.

    This was the perfect location for our family vacation. Almost everything was within walking distance, the house was spacious and had two porches to enjoy people watching and just relaxing. Very comfortable, well-stocked home.

    The Beachview House is a great property for St. Simons Island. The house is located in the village and within walking distance for anything you need. My kids liked that is was located across the street from the park. The house is charming with all the antiques and furnishings that you would need in a house. We felt like we were staying in a family members home. I would recommend this house to anyone visiting St. Simons Island.

    The house is the cutest and best located that I can imagine. It is old and historic and cozy and we couldn't get enough of it. We are going back in May to stay there. The owner was very accessible and helpful.

    This house is centrally located in the historic area close to everything! The front porch is open and the other side of the front porch is screened in. Each bedroom 3 and living room which has a bed to sleep on-all have their own bathrooms! Fully furnished and had basic supplies for your vacation. Only needed to buy extra toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent and of course you need to bring your own shampoo. Full washer and dryer. Kitchen fully equipped and lots of bath towels. Dog friendly with a good secure fence. Shopping areas, restaurants, beautiful huge pier that’s lit up at night , lighthouse and beach and lit park where everyone is walking around is right across the street!!! Large private parking areas on the side of the house. This island is so beautiful with so much history and the beds were comfortable with a large TVs in each room. Free WiFi. Very secure area. So much to see and do. We didn’t have any issues at all. We hope to come back again!!! The front porch is so awesome. Local bands playing at the park or at the nearby restaurant on the weekend. Thanks so much for letting us stay here! Blessings always
