Perfect Blend of Pool and Beach

Great property. House and pool were awesome. Having a pool is the way to go on St Simon’s and this is a great place to stay. Beach a few minutes aways so having a golf cart definitely will help. Downtown area, lighthouse and restaurants close and easy to access.

May 2025 perfection

This rental property is exactly the pictures shown. We had dogs with us and there was a great area of small grass right next to the home. One review mentioned there were none but this was not true. It's a nice and quiet neighborhood and felt safe. I also felt the pool area was private. The porches were wonderful to enjoy each morning and evening. The house was so clean which was a strong plus for me. There were two areas where you can easily walk to from the home. Many restaurants and shops nearby. We had one minor issue with the hot tub and owners responded very quickly. It was also an easy fix. We highly recommend this rental property.

Spring Break Vaca

Cute cozy eclectic beach bungalow nestled in a small private community. Only five houses in the Live Oak Cottages, super accommodating for multiple families to be close to each other to rent those houses. Great location for riding bikes to The Village, King and Prince etc. This house does back up to Demere Rd so some road noise at night and on the screened porch. Each room had an overhead fan and portable fans were provided which was nice for noise too. Loved the front porch swing and cocktail pool. There is an outdoor shower which was nice, parking can be a little tricky, but a non issue for our family. Bathroom towels were limited, so plan to do some wash while you’re there. Only two towels for the week in Master bathroom. All appliances were in good working order, plenty of hangers in each bedroom with luggage racks. It could use some fresh paint and updates but overall a great vaca for what our family needed!

Just what we needed!

We really enjoyed our stay at Kaluha’s Cottage. We were looking for a small-ish house, close to beach and everything, dog friendly, and with everything we needed on the first floor. Our dog has a hard time with stairs- so the idea was not to use the second floor. First- St. Simons Island and the surrounding area are beautiful. Lots of beautiful places to visit, great restaurants, quaint shops, and nice nightlife. Highly recommend a visit. The house was very clean, had everything we needed, and looked as nice as advertised. It would comfortably sleep 6 adults. Bathrooms were great- reasonable size. The pool was very nice- with steps that made it easy to get in and out. The porch on the first floor was fantastic- with a large porch swing that was so relaxing. The location was close to everything. Owner was very kind and responsive.There are only two things to keep in mind based on your needs if you are a dog owner. There is only a tiny area of grass on the side of the house. For our dog- this was not ideal as he needs some room to walk. Second- the house is located on a busy, dark street without easy access to large grassy areas nearby when doing potty breaks in the early morning or nighttime (times when it is dark and you are not out and about taking the pup to parks). This was not ideal- but we would stay again if it was a short stay. For a longer stay- dealing with the potty situation would become hard to handle.

As advertised! Cozy bungalow in a beautiful place!

We had never stayed in St. Simon's, but thought we'd try a new place. We are looking for laid back, easily walkable community, a house with a private pool that is well appointed. This one checked all the boxes. The first two days we were riding out Hurricane Debby. Beverly was in touch about the storm path and this was reassuring. Turned out we mostly sat on the swing on the screened in back porch and watched it rain. The island was cleaned up quickly and we were back, but even the morning after the worst of the storm we were able to walk to the pier, see the lighthouse, etc. SSI is a laid back, historically significant, "chill" little beach community. Boys watched TV and played XBox while weather was bad--house was very comfortable for this. When the weather got better, we alternated between a beach at SSI and one at nearby Jekyll Island. A great, reinvigorating trip that was just what we needed. Highly recommend the area as well as Kahlua's Cottage!

Just As Advertised

Great beach cottage with plenty of room for our party of 6 (2 parents and 4 teenage kids). It was exactly as it appeared in the listing. The kitchen is well appointed for any cooking and 3 bathrooms made getting ready easy. We enjoyed all three of the porches and the pool area. Also, it's always nice when you don't have to carry the house key with you and worry about losing it. The location is more private than it first appears and is convenient to all areas on the island.

Beautiful property with a very homey feel. Owners covered every need including helpful suggestions for shopping and directions to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and linens and towels were included. We loved the pool and the house was very comfortable. A pet friendly house is very important to us as well.
