    REMINDERS: This Cottage is attached to our main house. We use this Cottage frequently for our family and friends.
    No smoking means no smoking inside or anywhere on the property. This includes vaping as well.
    Please do not unplug the cables to either TV. Both have additional HDMI slots if you want to plug something in. We have had occasions where it was unplugged and not plugged back in and the next guest called about no TV service. This also causes the router to be reset.
    Max is 4 persons.
    Dog weight limit is strictly adhered to. Contact us if you have a question.
    No early (4pm) or late check outs (10am) without prior approval.
    We do not accept a reservation with a check in or check out the same day as another existing reservation. The reason is because we follow the protocols for Covid cleaning and it requires about 4 hours to clean. We simply cannot get this done and schedule the cleaner in time to meet the 4 pm time.
    We ask that you follow these and the other guidelines.

Mark couldn't have been nicer! Checking in was seamless. The location of the house was great. Easy parking and a walkable, quiet neighborhood. We felt safe, and it was easy to walk to our pups. The house was clean. The screened-in porch was a plus when traveling with dogs and unloading the car. The house had everything we needed.

This is the perfect property for a couple, with or without a child. The neighborhood is quiet and super safe, and the village, beach, and other activities are within walking distance (1mi). It is very well stocked with kitchen ware, linens, towels, “good” TP and paper towels (IYKYK!), and all the basics. My favorite part of the property is the owners tho! Robyn and Mark are super responsive and will bend over backwards to make sure your stay is enjoyable. You won’t regret staying here!

July 4th on SSI!

This condo was great for our stay at St. Simons. The walk to the beach was short and quick! We loved the neighborhood and all of the oak trees that shaded the streets. Saving this rental for our next stay on the island.

We loved our time here. The location was perfect. We rented a golf cart and took it everywhere. So close to the beach, restaurants, etc. It was perfect for us and our pup. It is hard to tell from the description but this cottage is completely private from the main home. We highly recommend it. The host was exceptionally responsive to every question. We will be back for sure!!!

This was our second time staying at the Salty Dawg Cottage and just like the first time everything was great! The property is clean and spacious all while being conveniently located close to the beach, restaurants and shops. The screened in porch is an added bonus!

Great location wonderful host

Tastefully decorated and very clean, we loved the property. We were there for 16 days and never saw our host but she was responsive to our questions and supplemented with some kitchen equipment we needed. The beach is really close. The folks we met were kind. We walked to the village as well as the brewery the only reason we won’t return is our need for dining chairs instead of a counter
