    Lovely seaside cottage with fully stocked kitchen. Thoughtful touches like throw blankets, cottage history, and fun towel shapes! We enjoyed the patio and the porch! We loved walking to all our favorite village spots. A waterfront sitting spot was steps away for great ship viewing and sunsets over the bridge.

    The house was awesome we absolutely loved the layout and everything about it. I did want to mention two concerns. The front porch swing was completely collapsed, so we couldn’t use it even if we wanted to, and both shower curtains had mold growing along the bottom, which felt like a hygiene issue. Those two things are the reason I’d bring it down to 4 stars. Other than that, everything else was great, and we would definitely stay there again.

    This is a wonderful cottage that more than lived up to the advertising! The location was perfect for us as we came primarily for the fireworks and it's only a 5 /- minute stroll to the pier / park. Additionally, the lighthouse, and numerous shops and restaurants are all within walking distance. We loved it!

    Everything about this cottage was just right. The location. The space. All just right for our stay. Walking distance to the village shops and restaurants, the pier and the park was just right for exploring with our two-year old granddaughter. The only thing we missed was a Keurig for morning coffee, but that was an easy fix with a walk to the local coffee shop. Stay here. It’s just right!

    Oyster Shell cottage is an ideal location to park the vehicle for the duration and walk to just about anywhere for food, shopping, pier, lighthouse, beach, or whatever in the village. The cottage itself is enjoyable with the shaded front porch, sitting areas, and super comfortable bed (at least in the one we tried in the master bedroom). Not having to drive everywhere was ideal because 1) we had already spent plenty of time in the vehicle to get there and 2) the roads are pretty crowded in St. Simons. Oyster Cottage was fantastic. All arrangements were exactly as indicated. We had zero troubles checking-in, staying, or checking out. Thank you.

    Our stay at this cute and cozy cottage was nice. The front porch was enjoyable and we could easily walk to the pier area (couldn’t walk down to beach as steps were out from storm). There is a small back yard with a patio but it can be noisy from store employees. The heat worked well, however the AC had a really bad smell and you can’t open any windows so we didn’t use it. Some furniture is well worn, such as bed in front room and kitchen chairs. You need to bring all toiletries, as not much is provided but there are plenty of stores and restaurants very close by

    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.

    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

    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.
