Ashantilly Cottage

Will be back, thanks so much!

We will be back to this house.

We’ve been vacationing in SSI for 8 years now- renting a new place every time. This is the FIRST time we’ve stayed in the same place twice. That tells you how much we love it.
If you love a screened porch to sip your coffee on in the mornings , while looking at your palm trees in the front yard, after sleeping in a marshmallow soft bed... a huge fenced backyard and a gorgeous deck to have a glass of wine on in the evenings after a day on the beach, a washer and dryer to wash all those sandy towels and suits, a kitchen fully stocked with everything you need to make a full crab boil (which we did!), and a cute beachy aesthetic to boot- this is your place. (Ps- excellent, responsive management and squeaky clean is just the icing on the cupcake ) .

This updated cottage was perfect for our family of four, including two teens boys. The exterior and interior were more updated than the photos. The house was cozy, comfortable and clean with plenty of linens, towels, kitchen supplies, and indoor and outside seating. The location made it easy for trips to the village, beach, and stores, by foot, bike, or car. There was good communication and instructions prior to arrival and during our stay. We had no issues and would definitely go back and stay again. Our kids give the wifi strength strength their highest rating yet!

Perfect location!!!

A new owner has upgraded all of the furniture including the deck in back. Expecting new windows soon.

We would like to thank Real Escapes and the poperty owner for accommadating us on our stay. The house was conveniently located to our activities.

We enjoyed our stay Ashantilly Cottage. Location was convenient to our destinations. The Cottage had plenty of room for us and our pets. Nice big backyard. Comfortable beds. Kitchen and home well stocked.

My family really enjoyed staying in this home. The beds were comfortable enough (with the exception of the middle guest bed was extremely firm). Downsides were that the house was right next to the airport and at times it felt as though the planes were going to land on our house. And the neighbor nextdoor decided to burn leaves all day on one day which wasn't helpful for my mom with COPD. The refrigerator had used butter in a tray from the guest before us which completely threw us off. We immediately threw it out. Other then that we really enjoyed our stay and will likely stay here again. The house was full stocked which was great. Besides being right next to the airport the location was close to town which was a bonus as well. If you have a golf cart or bike it’s the perfect place to have one.

Great property. Wish I could buy it. It's perfect for what we needed, great location and clean! Awesome!

Our family of 7 and our small dog had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and well equipped. The fenced back yard was a plus and the front screened porch was a nice quiet spot. We enjoyed the gas grill as well!

The rental was great the only thing I would advise is to let the renter know ahead of time that the house is is for sale and there may be showings . I was asked to allow the house to be shown twice changed my schedule twice while I was there so the house could be shown and both time neither showing went.

We've been coming to SSI for 7 years. 3 years ago we rented this property from Real Escapes and planning to do so again next year. The two of us stay 3 months in the winter, with family joining for shorter periods. Kitchen has outstanding cookware for cooking as how we do most of our meals. Screened in front porch and back deck perfect for getting outside.

This is a great beach cottage. The fenced in back yard was wonderful for our dogs. A few blocks from the main dock. We didn’t stay long enough.

Everything was just as expected. We enjoyed the large yard for our two dogs, they loved it!

Very pleasant! Very clean and met all of our needs.

Fantastic! We will be back.

We are snowbirds from MI who like to stay in places that are part of a family community, not just retired folks. We also like cozy houses rather than condos. The owner has continued to upgrade the property, recently with a new fence and deck in the back, Previous upgrades include kitchen appliances with a gas stove/oven rather than electric and modern washer and dryer. It's a 5min bike ride to the village and about 10 to the beaches on East Beach. We feel very much like it's our home away from home.

Wow, I am blown away by the friendly, timely service from
The RealEscapes staff, the house was impeccable too! The property is on a quiet side street and very peaceful, but convenient walking distance to downtown and the beach. Absolutely incredible experience, would definitely book it again.

Our family loved this house, had everything we needed. Felt like we actually had a relaxed vacation without stress. Quiet neighborhood and very close to everything on the island. Our little dog felt at home too with a nice backyard yard. A lot of old charm but very modern amenities, love the large master bedroom shower and kitchen. We will definitely stay again.

The cottage was nicely set up and in a good location. We thought it was very comfortable.

The cottage was perfect! I had a wonderful stay!

We had a great time! The cottage was so beautiful and updated and worked great for the dogs. It was a wonderful weekend get away!

The rental process went smoothly. The house was clean and ready for staying in for a few days. It's an older home but has been nicely updated. The neighborhood is quiet, though there is a little airport noise in the evening; wasn't a problem. While it would have been nice to be a little closer to the beach, the walking the distance is doable. We very much enjoyed our stay on St. Simons Island and this home greatly added to that.

Property description was accurate. Two flat screens were great. Yard is beautiful and screened front porch a plus. Clean and updated very nicely. Great location to childrens park and a short walk to village so you dont have to find a parking spot. You would have to drive to beach if you bring more than a towel. We just walked on the beach instead of laying out in the sun etc. Large tree branch had been on the ground and was suppose to be removed and that was not done. Some maintance issues like dead light bulbs and loose door knobs, but nothing too bad. Would stay again if the opportunity arose.

Overall a good stay, but the cottage could use some improvements. The house is very comfortable but it needs more outside lighting in the front and a handrail for safety. Hard to enter at night.

Rented home for entire month, can't beat the location, home had everything you need and it was very clean when we arrived and were really comfortable. Will return again for sure.
