Our Stay
The layout and furnishings in the house are great. The house was comfortable and decorated well. The pool was excellent, and very clean upon our arrival. It was a hot week so we spent our afternoons using it, so that was very convenient to have with the house. The master shower being so large with two shower heads was also super convenient to have on the main level. Two things of note. The floors in the upstairs bathrooms weren't cleaned very well, and had lots of hair on them. As well as the main floor left the bottom of our socks dirty, so not sure if it was mopped. We did notify Lilmar as FYI, and they offered to re-send the cleaning crew. Responded very promptly. Also, there is active construction on the street right now and directly across from the house. It didn't bother us, but noting for others who may be more sensitive. Only bedroom facing the street is the bunk room. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would stay at this or another Lilmar property should we return. Their communications throughout the process were great.

Manager Response: Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Blue Crab Cottage. We are so glad you enjoyed the home’s layout, furnishings, and pool, especially during such a warm week. We also appreciate your kind words about our communication and responsiveness. Your feedback regarding the floors has been shared with our housekeeping team so we can ensure this is addressed for future guests. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back to St. Simons soon.

What a great home for our family getaway! Perfect floor plan with great bedroom separation. Home is beautiful and had everything we needed and more. The bunk room was a big hit with the kids!, as well as the pool!

Property very nice and well represented. Dissappointed on not much to do on St. Simons Island

Manager Response: Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed your time at Blue Crab Cottage and found the home to be just as expected. We’re sorry to hear St. Simons didn’t offer quite what you were hoping for - there’s definitely a slower, more relaxed pace here. That said, if you ever decide to visit again, we would be happy to share some of our favorite local spots, hidden gems, and activities that might make the island experience feel a little fuller.

Beautiful home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Crab Cottage. The layout is great, rooms are spacious, and it had everything we needed. Love the extra TV room upstairs. I would definitely stay here again. Our only complaint is the rug in the living room. It's very uncomfortable on bare feet.

Manager Response:  Thank you for the kind words about your stay at Blue Crab Cottage - we’re so glad to hear the layout, amenities, and upstairs TV room helped make your visit feel like home. We truly appreciate your feedback about the living room rug as well; guest comfort is a top priority, and we’ll take a closer look at that detail. We would love the opportunity to host you again for another St. Simons escape soon!

This was one of the cleanest and best managed properties we have ever stayed. The house is brand new and feels like home away from home. Every detail and need is considered. We fell in love with the decoration, wall art, objects around the house etc. Pool was great and my two teenage boys had so much fun. The property management team was on top of everything and answered every single question very promptly. If you are looking for a rental at St Simon’s area look no further. We can’t wait to come back sometime soon.

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for your thoughtful words! We are so happy to hear that Blue Crab Cottage felt like a true home away from home. It means a lot to know the design details, artwork, and overall feel of the home made such a strong impression. We are also thrilled your boys enjoyed the pool and that our team could help make everything smooth from start to finish. We would absolutely love to welcome you back again soon!

Lovely Stay!
We loved everything about our stay at The Blue Crab Cottage. The home and furnishings were stunning and immaculately clean. The home offers everything you need and more. The heated pool is an amazing feature. Our grand boys had the best time and also really enjoyed the bunks in their bedroom. The location is great, we were just a few minutes from everything. The management team was great, so friendly and helpful. This was our first visit to SSI and quickly became one of our favorite places! We will definitely be returning!

Comfortable, clean and perfect for families!
We really enjoyed our stay and felt like it was going to be a great vacation the minute we pulled into the driveway. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more. The pool was so nice to have because we had some windy cooler days but the kids still had a blast swimming. (We paid for the pool to be heated.)The property management team had a lot of little extras to make our stay comfortable like a kit with batteries and a screwdriver, which came in handy! Shampoo, conditioner and body wash in each of the showers was a plus as well as the dual Keurig coffee maker so you can make a pot or use k cups.We would definitely consider staying in this house again when we return!

Beautiful Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed for a relaxing week. We would definitely stay here again if we were back in the area.

Beautiful house!
We absolutely loved our stay at this house. It was gorgeous, the pool was fabulous, and it was close to everything we wanted to do in SSI. We had the unfortunate timing of being in SSI when Hurricane Debby went through. The property managers answered all of our questions and calmed our fears since we are from Illinois and have never experienced tropical storms before. On our last night, one of the carbon monoxide detectors went off (it was faulty and needed to be replaced). The property managers again came through and sent someone to fix the issue ASAP even though it was late on a Friday evening. We 100% recommend staying here!

Perfect family vacation home!
This property was beautiful and perfect for our three-night family vacation. The location is perfect! It is off of a main street so it's conveniently close to grocery stores and food places, but felt private and safe. It is a short drive to the beach. Our guests consisted of my family (2 adults and 2 toddlers), my brother's family (2 adults and 3 children), and our mom. The three bedrooms worked really well with each family having their own and my mom being in the third. The house is stocked with all the kitchen items you could need, beach and pool towels - and even beach items like a wagon, beach chairs, and boogie boards. So many nice touches like starter laundry and dish pods, hand soap, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the master bathroom. The home is beautifully decorated while feeling comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if we visited the area in the future!

Manager Response: Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Blue Crab Cottage! We're thrilled to hear that your family had a perfect vacation! We're so glad the location was ideal for your group and that the house provided everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We appreciate you taking the time to highlight the thoughtful touches like the beach gear and starter amenities. We strive to create a welcoming environment for our guests, and your kind words mean a lot to us. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable family vacation in the future!

BLUE CRAB COTTAGE 5/16 thru 5/23
We stayed at Blue Crab Cottage for the the 4th time, this time was extra special as we were on SSI to complete the purchase of our new home. . As for the Blue Crab Cottage, we have stayed at beach homes up and down the Atlantic & Gulf Coast and the Blue Crab Cottage on SSI is without a doubt the best of them all. It lacks for nothing from the great backyard pool to the beautiful interior design that makes you feel welcome as soon as you open the front door! If you are looking for a great place to stay with family and friends try Blue Crab Cottage on SSI.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest for the 4th time at Blue Crab Cottage!  We are so glad we could host you all for such a memorable moment in your lives and how fun that you have a permanent spot here on the island now!  Your kind words about our property, from the backyard pool to the welcoming interior design, mean a lot to us. It’s an honor to be your favorite among all your beach stays along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast.  Thanks again for choosing Blue Crab Cottage for your stay and congratulations on your new home!

Jekyll Island Golf Tourney Week
I would have to say, the family really enjoyed the stay here. Very convenient to shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Also not a bad spot for runners like myself. My kids loved the bunk beds as well as the pool, even though they only got two days in the pool due to golf practices. The location was good for us since we had one kid on one course and another kid on the opposite end of the island. I would definitely spend another week or two here.

Manager Response: Thank you so much for your review and for being our guest at Blue Crab Cottage!

Access for all at St Simon
The Blue Crab Cottage accommodations exceeded our expectations from the moment of our arrival. The fun-themed decor and open space in the cottage made for a pleasant experience. The LilMar representative, Susan, also took extraordinary care in helping us to locate a wheelchair friendly space here at the cottage which was easily accessed using our small ramp into the front door for my daughter. The warm pool and comfortable beds made the cottage an oasis in and of itself on the island. We also found the ease of sidewalks to close by restaurants and shops a great perk; as we did the short drive to the beach and all of the island explorations. We’ll look forward to returning here and also will be recommending this spot to our friends!

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Blue Crab Cottage!  We are thrilled that you had such a lovely stay here and that it exceeded your expectations.  It was our pleasure to assist you in finding a wheelchair-friendly space for your daughter, and we are so glad it met your needs.

We can't wait to welcome you back for another island getaway, and we truly appreciate your recommendation to your friends as well!

Blue Crab island home
Very nice, clean and quiet home. Necessities were available and well thought out. Plenty of room and a lot more enjoyable than a stay in a hotel. The pool and pool area were excellent. This 4 night stay was a low key celebration for my 70th birthday. We love to spend time in the pier village area and eat in the restaurants there. The Blue Crab house is only a couple of miles and easy to drive to the pier locations. The beach park is only a couple miles down the road. I definitely recommend this management group for your rental needs. We will be a returning customer.

We Loved this house.
Everything you could ever need is at your fingertips. Beautiful furnishings and exceptional decorating. Hope we left it almost as clean as when we arrived Had to call the office workers across street walked over and used our power outlets on the front porch to run their equipment , tracked mud on porch & rug. We tried yo clean it off. The lady I spoke with at the office was so kind, and sweet. We will definitely be back.
