Reviews

Wonderful service. Great house!

Guest Review

by Bojan
We had a fun and relaxing girls trip. There were 5 of us who travelled from Texas & California. Heron cottage was very well equipped and set up perfect for the two 2 year olds who were travelling with us. They loved the kids corner under the stairs & especially loved the pool time. The house was nicely located not far from the beaches, fun activities, & food. Bike rentals were easy and worked great! We wish we had spent our last 2 days at Heron Cottage rather than Hilton Head Island. We absolutely loved St. Simons Island and our stay at Heron Cottage. Thanks for a Great Stay.......

A lovely house! Nice and spacious! Nice pool. Quiet but above all a safe neighborhood. There is an airport behind what you don\'t see through the trees. Many private jets are rising. Mainly during the day. They don\'t fly at night. We didn\'t bother you any further! Kids even thought it was fantastic. But highly recommended!
