Ocean views from roof top deck. Easy walk to beach!
Welcome to Avonlea Cottage located in the ocean front neighborhood of Coast Cottages on St Simons Island. Coast Cottages is a Victorian styled planned community on St. Simons’ widest stretch of sand. Many consider it the most exquisite real estate anywhere in Georgia.
Avonlea is a 5 bedroom and 5 bath cottage that will sleep a maximum of 12 people. On the first floor you will find a fully stocked kitchen, a living room with ample seating, a dining room that seats 8 - all with an open concept. A screened back porch off the kitchen will provide you with limited marsh views. In addition, the first level also has a bedroom with queen bedding and en-suite bath. You will love the decor and colors throughout this wonderful beach cottage.
Going up to the second floor, at the first landing, is a small deck that allows you to look up and down the cobblestone streets of the Coast Cottage neighborhood. When you get to the second floor you will find two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath. The back bedroom has a deck with marsh views. The laundry is located between these two bedrooms.
On the third floor, you'll discover two additional fabulous bedrooms. One bedroom has two sets of bunks and an en-suite bath that will be the perfect spot for the kids. The back bedroom has a king-sized bed, an en-suite bathroom and a deck off the bedroom. Just when you thought you were on the top floor, from the deck, you will find a spiral staircase to the rooftop deck. From the rooftop deck you have fabulous ocean views!
At Avonlea, you will have complete and private access to the whole house which is approximately 2700 sq. feet. You will also have access to the 2 oceanfront neighborhood pools and covered pavilion. You will love this picturesque neighborhood of colorful homes and cobblestone streets.
Avonlea is about a half mile from several popular restaurants and just over a mile to the Lighthouse and the Pier/Village area. Bike riding is a fun way to see the island.

Short weekend trip for my wife's 60th birthday. Loved the house, great pool area and easy walk to the beach. Also walked to dinner both nights. Highly recommend.
Reserved for my family and a group of college friends, who were all in town for another college friend's wedding. The house was great and suited us well. Nice, short walk to a beautiful beach. Cold time of year, but still stunning.
The Avonlea Cottage was everything we expected and a little more. We would definitely book this cottage again. The pool and boardwalk to the ocean are two real pluses.
Fantastic house with plenty of room! Mary was so wonderful! She brought things by the house and was available anytime we had a question. Would highly recommend this house and team!
Avonlea is a great house! All 5 bedrooms had their own bath, making it perfect for our family group. The home is nicely furnished and super comfortable. I highly recommend!
This was our first family trip to the beach and this home was perfect for us. Beds were comfortable and plenty of space to escape to if needed. The kitchen could use some dishes and utensil updating - too few for the number of people but other than that we would definitely rent again. The rental company was easy to work with and quick to answer any questions. Loved our stay!!

Reviewer Comments:
This was the perfect rental for our annual multi family trip. With multiple king beds and a bathroom for each bedroom it made booking for next years trip a no brainer. The boardwalk to the beach made pulling wagons and beach gear so easy. Loved the location and community.
Great location, my family really enjoyed the house, pool, and beach. One negative was the first day walking to the beach from the pool, along the walkway we were attacked by large mosquitoes!!!! I guess they breed in the standing water along the way. Other than that it was good. Photo was take from rooftop.
Third stay at this lovely home. Enjoyed some recent upgrades in furnishings, etc. and is always a wonderful property. Owner is extremely hospitable. Look forward to a 2024 visit.
Great large house, a few steps from East Beach, great neighborhood pools, we had a wonderful stay. You need to bring your own soap and shampoo. Also if you stay more than a few days and have a large party, you will need to provide your own trash bags and dishwasher pods, annoying at this price point.
We loved that there were three long sized beds with bathrooms. However, the floors/carpets were so dirty that our feet bottoms were black. The kitchen is small and doesn’t have a pantry. Some game options would have been nice.

Great location
Location was great! Parking for 2 cars, overflow wasn't too far away. The house was great for our group. However, the dishes, including pots, pans, utensils etc were not very clean. We had to wash everything we used. The towels were old and the linens had a bit of a musty smell to them. The table was very sticky too. There were multiple rooms with lightbulbs out as well. I don't want to give a horrible review, because the house really was in a great spot, cute and great beach/pool access. Just needs some freshening up in our opinion.

Property needs some general maintenance. Kitchen stock was inadequate. Grill was literally falling apart due to rust when trying to grill... The grates collapsed when touching it. Couldn't cook burgers because the rust from the grates would stick to the food and then fall apart.
Having 5 bedrooms, with 3 master suites, was appreciated. It would have been nice to have a king bed on the first floor but I understand that there wasn't enough room. The 3 floors kept us separated enough in the mornings that as we gradually meandered downstairs, no one bothered others who were still sleeping. The kitchen wasn't as well stocked as we have had in other rentals but we were able to rewash dishes/pots as needed. The grandchildren enjoyed the heated pool.
As advertised. The cottage was perfect for our family. No issues with cottage. Had a great week.
Great week. Beach access boardwalk isn’t long enough to get over the marshy/swampy area. However, it is currently under construction to be lengthened. Either you walk thru ankle deep water and mud to get to the beach of you find another point of access.
A wonderful location for a family getaway!! It had all the comforts from home. The family enjoyed the beach, pool, fishing, bike riding, shopping and restaurants 😀 We just needed more time!!

Overall, the house was beautiful and very comfortable. There were a few minor issues, such as the doors would not stay closed, the grill had no gas in the tank, and the rooftop had no lights for use during sunset/evening. The listing was mostly accurate except for lack of Keurig and also no mention that the pools closed at dusk, which prevented both adults and teens from being able to use the pool after all of the smaller children had gone home. There was also no mention that the property absolutely hated teenagers onsite. We felt somewhat harassed during our stay with people policing our teens when they had not even done anything wrong at all. They followed our teens the very first night as they checked out the property and headed out to the ocean for their first view. They came to the cottage on two occasions to warn us about what might happen if our teens didn't follow the strict guidelines. The property manager sent emails questioning who was staying at the house, claiming they had been "counted" and exceeded the max limit, and acted as if they were breaking the law. I felt like we walked on eggshells the entire week and could not relax at all. We also heard from several other teen families onsite that they received similar messages and felt harassed as well. After having such a lovely home surrounded by loved ones, what a shame we never really could relax at our beautiful cottage. Not all teenagers run wild. If you don't want teenagers, just say so from the very beginning. Don't ruin vacations. Very disappointing.
Loved this beautiful home!!! The space was amazing and accommodated everyone (8 girls).
Beautifully decorated and good quality linens and all of the fans were working properly. Couldn't have asked for a better home to stay in while at the beach. Very close to everything!!! We ubered it everywhere at night.
This was a much needed vacation for our family with granpdarents and cousins. We have stayed in the area before and knew that this would be a a good place to stay at to accommodate our needs with multiple families in one house.
