Newer Construction! - Short Walk to Beach - Hot Tub/Pool

Newer Construction! Refreshing open floor plan! Nestled at the end of the drive with parking for 5 cars (max). Rocking chair front porch leads to light and airy kitchen (anchored with a huge blue island), dining area and vaulted great room. Shiplap walls throughout the main living area, 8' doors, owner's suite and additional bedroom on main, hardwood floors throughout. Convenient laundry room w/cabinetry and sink. Kitchen w/farm-style sink, stainless appliances, an abundance of cabinetry and lots of counter space. Kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you! Pantry barn-style door leads to walk-in pantry with plenty of shelving. Dining table offers seating for 10, Island offers seating for 6. Oversized screened porch with patio furniture and a TV leads to a large covered porch with grill and additional seating area - All overlooking the lagoon-style pool and hot tub. Fenced backyard fully equipped with lounge chairs, umbrellas and tables & chairs. Firepit for gathering on those cool evening nights (bring your own wood). The house is on a whole-house water filtration system. Note: the fireplace is for looks-only. It does not function.

**Minimum age of renter is 35 years old, ID required at time of reservation.**
**Property Damage Deposit is $1500.00**

Bedrooms: Owner's Suite and an additional bedroom on the main. The owners suite has a vaulted ceiling with ceiling fan and double French doors leading to covered back porch. Private bath offers double vanities with lighted vanity mirror, oversized shower w/dual shower heads, separate water closet, and large walk-in closet. Additional bedroom on main has access to half bath but will have to either use owner's suite shower or upstairs shower. Upstairs offers 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 with attached full bathrooms, one king bedroom is across the hall from the bathroom. All upstairs bedrooms have TVs with cable, ceiling fans, canned lights and hardwood floors.

Outdoor entertainment: The lagoon-style pool with hot tub is 16x32 and has 4 pool-width sized stairs- perfect if you just want to sit and watch everyone play. The pool can be heated for an additional $100 per day however we would need advanced notice at time of final payment so we can plan for it. The fire pit is great for relaxing in the evening (bring your own firewood) and is accented with outdoor lighting. A large TV is mounted on the screened porch for easy viewing. We have a homemade game board barrel table for checkers. We also have books, cards and puzzles.

Location: We're conveniently located at the corner of Arnold and Demere (pronounced De-ma-ree). We are less than 1/2 a mile to the beach (Massengale Park which is an access point to East Beach, has bathrooms, shaded picnic tables and play ground) and 1 mile to The Village (quaint square with shopping, dining and the pier). Demere park is across the street with a playground, skate park and baseball field - great for play. Fiddlers, Crab Daddy's, Crab Trap, The Still, Beachcomber BBQ & Grill, Barrier Island Brewery and bicycle rentals are located at the next corner on Arnold and Ocean Blvd. King and Prince is at the end of Arnold (just one block further). "The Friendly" gas station is just down the street from us and is great for those last minute items you forgot (butter, milk, firewood and the like). Golf cart rentals are available in The Village and make the stay even more enjoyable.

We built this home with our family in mind. We hope you enjoy your stay and make it an annual tradition to come again. We entrust our home to you and ask that you take great care of it. We're glad you chose to spend your vacation time at the Blue Island Cottage.

Girls Trip
This home is absolutely stunning! There were 8 of us girls there. With 6 bedrooms, we had plenty of space. The screen porch was a favorite of ours. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and the beach. Highly recommend this beautiful home.

Family gathering for a wedding
This home is beautiful! Many thoughtful extras to ensure that your visit is very comfortable (good beds too!). One example: we lost power due to the hurricane but we still had nightlights (even in the bathrooms) because the owners added rechargeable large lights - wow. Wonderful location & kind owner who checked in to make sure we had what we needed during the outage. THANK YOU!!

STUNNING home with plenty of room
Our team of 7 stayed here as a retreat and to plan for our business in 2025. When I was looking for a home to rent, I really wanted something on the beach. This home kept coming up on my search, so I took a leap of faith. This home has a ton of space and comes equipped with everything you would need to enjoy your time there even down to beach towels that I had forgotten. The beds were very comfortable, the multiple gathering space were perfect, and the backyard was so peaceful. We didn't one time miss the fact that we weren't looking at the water, and we hope to come back again next year!

The perfect beach house for large families
This was our third time staying here and, as always, had a wonderful visit. We were there with our 5 adult children, son in law, 2 daughters in law and our 1 yr old granddaughter. Plenty of room for everyone. The well appointed kitchen was perfect for cooking family meals, having a laundry room is fantastic and the beautiful pool is always enjoyable. I would have to say the location of the house is perfect. We ride bikes everywhere and to dinner most evenings. Tons of close by public beach accesses. Communication with the owners is excellent .

Perfect for large family
We LOVED this house! Everything was in excellent condition, I especially loved the comfy beds! We had a party of 15 ranging from 6 to 75 yrs. Everyone had their own space when needed and we loved gathering on the back porch each night to watch the kids swim and enjoy a cocktail! We plan to be back next year!

Beautiful, comfortable house
We have visited St Simons for the last 30 years and this house is the nicest we've stayed in. It was in beautiful shape, very well equipped for our family of 14, and very comfortable. The pool area is lovely, the kitchen easily accommodated us, the dining area was actually big enough for all of us, and the house is well stocked from everything from dishes, cookware, other essentials such as beach towels, etc. The owners were easy to contact and very responsive. We highly recommend it for a family stay.

Family Reunion
Wow! They thought of everything. We travel about 3 or 4 times a year, and this is hands down the best place we have stayed. Everything you could want or need is there. We all came prepared for what we usually have found we have to go buy. We never had to touch it. If I had to say anything It would have been nice to be able to run the pool cleaner at night. Other than that it was amazing.

Fantastic!!!
Rented this home to attend a family wedding. Very large family so there were 3 other homes rented as well by other family members. Our rental was by far the best as indicated by all the other family members wanting to hang out by our pool. This place met all our needs and went beyond expectations. Rick and Laura responded usually within minutes to my many questions. Highly recommended!!!

Family Trip was PERFECT here!
Location was perfect! I am a realtor in Atlantic Beach Florida for over 16 years, and I have my own short term rental on the ocean. So I can tell you with confidence-this is a great one.. fully stocked with everything you will need to gather with family and friends! It Is beautifully appointed and has plenty of space for a group of 13! Walk to beach just a 10 minute walk and local restaurants and shops…. And across the street from house is a cute park - our boys brought their skateboards for the skate park, and one day we had a family kickball game at the baseball field! There was a playground, but it was being worked on… But there is another playground on the way to the beach that is even bigger!!!! A couple miles away you have the Saint Simons downtown and the pier with even more restaurants bars, and shops! Sweet little town….. We made so many memories! And we will be back!

By far the best vacation rental we've ever stayed in
Communication with Laura was easy and she was quick to answer any questions and address concerns. Property exceeded expectations. Exactly as described and check-in was right on time and easy. Neighborhood is quiet and very safe and close to beach. The house is beautiful and stocked with anything you could ever need and all top of the line. The outside area with the Porches and pool/hot tub and fire pit so serene. The property is spotless. Can't say enough good things about our stay and hope to be back ! Thank you !

This was the perfect house for my family to gather for my daughter's wedding in St. Simons. Most of my family travelled from Canada and it was the most perfect place for us to enjoy the festivities and our visit together.
