Beach Bum Cottages were a great find. Such a short walk to the beach, the cottage had all we needed & the kids loved the pool. We would definitely stay again.
First time at SGI and we will definitely be back! Peaceful and relaxing. Beaches were not crowded. Beach access directly across a quiet street. Property was clean, bathroom was a bit small but certainly not a deal breaker. Beds were comfortable. Highly recommend!

First Visit…
Beach Bum Cottage was clean and well maintained. Location was great with access to the beach right across the street. Nice pool and deck area. Easy access to local casual restaurants and both ends of the island. Billed as a 2 bedroom with one (very small, tight) bathroom, and BR #2 only if you had children under 12. We would look to another place if we were to go back with two adult friends.
Pool was nice. Many dogs in other units. One pooped in bush by where my wife sat every day. One pooped on common area by our door. Other than that all was well.
Property was fine and as advertised.
The only problem was water heater sucked.
We could never take a bath or shower back to back. Or take a nice bath. Always ran out of hot water very quickly . Otherwise would recommend.
The family and I came down to St. George for a Christmas visit, having made the reservation many months in advance. We had no idea there would be a monster of a cold front moving in and several days of temperatures in the 20s. Water lines were popping all over St. George! Geysers spraying under houses as you drove past, it was an unusual site to see. A couple water lines had burst at the cottage after freezing overnight and I had to contact the property manager, on Christmas day no less, when a new fountain water feature appeared out by the pool. Laura and her husband went above and beyond to have it repaired that day after coming out very quickly. Wonderful people, I was glad to have met them. The heat also worked very well in the cottage, though I didn't think I would have needed it. The cottage was clean and comfortable, very convenient beach access right across the street and away from the busier part of the island. It was an enjoyable trip for time spent with family. I have no complaints and wouldn't hesitate to stay at Beach Bums in the future.
The cottage was adorable, very clean, best location. Also Laura was very sweet and made me feel at home. This is now my go to for St George Island stays. I plan to come back at least once per year. So glad I found this wonderful place!
This year we flew into Atlanta to visit my son and daughter-in-law and then we all headed out to St. George Island. We had recommendations from someone who stayed in Appalachicola but once we saw barrier island we had to try it. The community is fabulous; all the stores, restaurants you need but no huge development. Beach Bum Cottages were small but comfortable and well-equipped. The beach was across the street for swimming, walking and star gazing. The pool was heaven. A great value! Property manager, Laura, was always available and helpful!
Birthday weekend getaway. The pictures didn’t do this place justice. We had everything that we needed, plenty of room and the place was extremely clean. Quick and easy access to the beach! Pool and pool area was clean. Met the property manager and she was extremely friendly and helpful. Hope to visit again
It was a relaxing time. Beach was close enough but far enough for some sand relief. I loved sitting by the pool to do my laundry and enjoy the stars. We just loved it.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Beach Bum Cottages. This was our second time staying here and it is just the right size for our family of three. You can’t get a better location other than being directly on the beach as the public entrance is directly across the road. It’s just a few steps from the driveway. The place was clean as well as the pool. We will definitely stay here again.
The location and convenience to beach access is super. Nice pool to relax. Rooms were bright and clean. Property management answers your questions very timely. Have already booked for next year!
Excellent place to stay. Great communication with Emil and Amy. Wonderful clean beaches. Very short walk to the beach. I couldn't ask for better. Very clean. Quite and peaceful. I loved it. And yes i definitely will stay with Beach bum cottages again.

Quiet and conveniently located
This is a well worn 4-plex property that is conveniently located and quiet with a decent pool across the street from beach access. On the plus side, it is clean and there is a washer-dryer on the property. The bathroom is super tiny — room for only one person. One bedroom doesn’t have a window, but beds are reasonably comfortable although bedding could use upgrade. There are nice sturdy picnic tables in front of each unit that make for pleasant dining al fresco. The towel situation could be improved upon. We brought our own food and cooked every day due to COVID. Kitchen is stocked with odds and ends basics—some extremely worn. We brought our own kitchen knives along with our own pan and glad we did. The grounds and building could use a bit of maintenance. It’s basically good for two people. I would rate as budget accommodations. Emil was a great communicator and was always prompt answering emails. Amy, the property manager, was super helpful with check in process. A little TLC and the property could be so much better even though it is small. Our friends paid only $50 more a night and were located on the beach with a very well appointed 2-bed 2-bath property. The state park has one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever been on with really nice pavilions. We plan to vacation on SGI again, but on the beach side.
We loved our stay at St. George Island! The Island was perfect for our little getaway- great restaurants, beautiful beach, parks, fishing in the bay etc. The location of the cottage was perfect with easy access to the beach and close to restaurants and activities. We would definitely recommend Beach Bum Cottages and St. George Island.
