    Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay and cannot recommend this home enough. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. The home was spotless, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we appreciated how everything was clearly labeled and easy to find. The location was perfect—close to East Beach, restaurants, and everything we wanted to do during our stay. We rented a golf cart and spent our days at the beach and our evenings enjoying dinners with friends who joined us on the trip. Having such a convenient location made everything effortless. Traveling with children ages 4, 8, and 10 can sometimes be stressful, but this home made our vacation feel completely relaxed. The owners provided beach chairs, beach toys, and so many thoughtful extras that saved us from having to purchase or bring those items ourselves. The pool was clean, warm, and well-maintained, and our kids absolutely loved it. The patio was another favorite spot for our family to unwind. The neighborhood felt safe, quiet, and family-friendly. We even used a local nanny service one evening so the adults could enjoy dinner out, and having such a comfortable home to return to afterward made the experience even better. Most importantly, the host was incredibly kind, responsive, and welcoming. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and it truly felt like staying in a home where every detail had been considered. This was one of those rare vacations where everything went smoothly from start to finish. The house had everything we needed and truly felt like a home away from home. Every penny was worth it, and we are already looking forward to returning. This definitely will not be our last stay.

    Outstanding host and communication with host. Plenty of room for a large family. Extremely well stocked and supplied with all necessities and even more. All dishes and cookware and cooking supplies were well stocked. Even items such as baking foods (flour, oil, seasonings, foil wrap, plastic wrap, and much more ) were made available to use. Lots of games, puzzles, pool toys and pool towels , etc were also available .House was extremely clean , newly renovated, and equipped with high quality furnishings. Tv and charging stations in every bedroom. Great neighborhood. Close to beach. Highly recommend this property!

    We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home so much! It was for a 40th birthday celebration trip and was very spacious with lots of areas to relax. We had 4 couples in the group and loved that everyone had their own bathrooms to spread out and the beds were so comfortable. The pool and screen porch was amazing. We would love to stay here again in the future.

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Highflyer Cottage on St. Simon's Island. The owners thought of every aminity one needs in a stay away from home. Truly incredible experience and I would recommend to anyone. It is way more house than we needed, but can comfortable accommodate a larger family or group easily. Amazing experience!

    High Flyer cottage was absolutely outstanding, and perfect for our particular needs. We are a 4-generation family, ranging in age from 1-84. The home was spacious, clean, and incredibly well-outfitted and stocked with everyday items you normally wouldn't expect. The crib was high-quality, sturdy, and easy to use. The kitchen had every imaginable utensil, cookware, and appliance. Beds were comfortable. IT/TVs/technology was user-friendly. Communication was well above average - responsive but not intrusive at all. There were no signs of wear, abuse, or inexpensive furniture that are common in other properties.The home was move-in ready, even for those with the highest standards. Both the home and the host were the best!

    We just completed our third vacation at Highflier Cottage. I can’t say enough positive things about this perfect house! It is always clean, comfortable and I have never stayed in a house more equipped, be it in the kitchen, on the big fabulous porch overlooking the pool or with lounge chairs around the pool. There are amenities I would never think of and least of all, expect! Lesley is easily accessible and truly wants your stay to be perfect. We really don’t want to stay anywhere else!

    The house was immaculate and so well stocked for everything you need and more. There are multiple places to sit and visit, large screen porch, around the pool and in the air conditioned family room. There was plenty of room at the big table and bar for all 12 of us to eat. Our 5 grandchildren ages 4-9 would have stayed in the pool all day if we would have let them. They didn't complain at all about walking to the beach for a few hours in the morning because they had the pool to swim in the rest of the day. The pool is perfect in the afternoon because there is plenty of shade. Everyone had a wonderful time and we are looking forward to a week there next summer.

    Beautiful and perfectly functional space. Pool is bigger than it looks in the photos. Great size while not being to big. The owners have provided for every need. Like Disney world, you never have to look far for a wast container. Short walk to the amazing not crowded beach!

    This has been our favorite house to rent. We are a huge family and everyone agreed that the house was spacious and met all of our needs. The pool was wonderful and we spent most of our time in the screened in porch. Perfect for watching kids swim in the evening. Location of the house was great. Several of our kids were able tor bike and go to the beach whenever they chose. We will be back again.
