Butter Side Up Cottage was definitely the butter on top for our family vacation! The cottage was just perfect for the size of our family. It was decorated so cute and we loved the screened in porch and ended the night with a swim! Our vacation was for only one week however the memories will last a lifetime! See you soon!

Perfect stay

by Morgan
We've been coming to St. Simons for decades, stayed in all kinds of houses, hotels, and condos, and this was one of the best accommodations we've had. Comfortable, clean, spacious and convenient to the beach and the village. Our family loved it.

We had a wonderful time at this beach house. The front porch and pool were the major highlights. The super short walk to the beach was an added surprise!

We enjoyed our girls’ trip this summer to SSI!! Two of us are locals, and we still felt as is we were truly on vacation. This house was absolutely beautiful and the pool is the perfect size!
