Charleston-style cottage w/ lovely decks, steps to the beach & pools

Beautifully and conveniently located only 225 steps from two community swimming pools and the gorgeous shores of East Beach, True Knot Cottage offers a glimpse of St. Simons Island at its best. This classic-yet-modern home was designed in the style of Charleston's side-porch cottages, providing a wonderful atmosphere full of Southern charm, elegant finishes, and cozy living spaces. You'll be able to walk to the pools, the beach, and the community sundeck each morning, and easily return home for lunch prepared on the gas grill or in the fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Sip cold glasses of sweet tea beneath the ceiling fans on the side porch, spend the afternoon people-watching in rocking chairs on the front patio, and catch unforgettable sunsets on the third-level observation deck.

What's nearby:
This home is part of the Coast Cottages at St. Simons Island, which sit just a few steps from two pools, a sundeck, and an oceanfront pavilion on the sandy shores of East Beach. When you're not swimming, building sandcastles, or walking the beach at high or low tide, you'll be an easy bike ride (or an an even quicker drive) from the St. Simons Lighthouse Museum and the many attractions of Neptune Park, both of which are less than two miles southwest. Take out a kayak for the morning, tee off at the Seaside Golf Course less than three miles west, and sample a variety of restaurants that await on Ocean Boulevard.

Things to know
Free WiFi
Full kitchen
The beach is walkable at high or low tide
The pool can be heated upon request! 72 hours notice is required and a pool heat fee of $40 plus tax per day must be paid prior to check-in.

Cozy cottage

Great location with our cottage being only a short walk from the beach and pool. The home was easy to access and easy to find. We especially enjoyed the three outdoor seating areas. We had kids of all ages and the spaces were perfect.

True Knot for a second stay

We loved true not four years ago and we still love it this time around. It is the perfect size for our family of five. You cannot beat the proximity to the beach and the wonderful heated pool. The house was very clean and beautiful. It is an idyllic place to stay, and we will come back again!

Great location near the beach. We loved the floorplan of the place and the community pool. There was mold around some air ducts in the living space – we all noticed that we got stuffy noses shortly after arriving. The sheets in the master bedroom were very scratchy. The decorative pillows and comforters in the kids bunk room were stained. The key was very difficult to operate in the lock – he had to jiggle it significantly every time in order to get it to work. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but the experience could have been improved with a few changes.

Great cottage in amazing location !

We loved staying at True Knot Cottage! It was such a great house for our family. There was plenty of space for us all to spread out. The kitchen was very well stocked and we loved the side porch, we ate almost every meal out there. We would love to stay there again!

Had a great time, love the house. All the furnishings have a great beach vibe. Sitting on the porch was very enjoyable. Went there to play golf but actually spent more time at the pool and beach.

Cozy beach house that’s well appointed.

This was a great location for our family of five. The kitchen was very nice and we enjoyed spending Thanksgiving in this well furnished home. Great porches and living space for spending time together. Coast cottages is the best location for beach access and central to island activities. We have been many times to various properties in this location and will definitely come again!
