We had such a nice relaxing time. The house is beautiful, well stocked and in a great location. The kids had fun swimming everyday. We had a few hiccups but the team was great and everything was resolved quickly. We will definitely visit the island again!

Wish the road had less traffic. Bottoms of our feet were black on bottom BUT the house is gorgeous. The outdoor area is amazing. Furnishings are very nice. Kitchen super well-stocked. Would definitely go back!!

It’s on a busy road but sleep wasn’t a problem. Good mattresses, nice furnishings, and lovely backyard. The pool was very small but warm the first week of April. The gas firepit was great.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed the comfort of Oleander Cottage — from the cozy mattresses and stylish furnishings to the warm pool and inviting backyard. The gas fire pit is definitely a guest favorite! It was a pleasure hosting you all and we would love to welcome you back for another stay any time.

The weather was chilly and windy so we didn't go to the beach. We had the pool heated so we all enjoyed that. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The 3 children were thrilled with their room and bathroom. Lots of good restaurants- Sal’s pizza- primo. It is on a busy road- not walkable to a beach. But one could bike places with pathways along the roads

Manager Response:  Thank you for sharing your experience at Oleander Cottage! We're so glad to hear that the heated pool was a hit, especially with the little ones. It sounds like you made the most of your time with great food and exploring the area. We’d love to welcome you all back for another stay—hopefully with some perfect beach weather next time!

We've stayed on the island dozens of times and this was the best experience so far. Yes, there is a price premium that comes with a place like this but it was worth it. The house was extremely clean, the attention to detail was amazing and the level of care we received from the rental company were top notch. We heated the pool each day for an additional charge and although we didn't use it everyday, it was nice to have the option. The backyard is very peaceful and there was space for soccer and other sports. The location is close to everything and walking distance to one of the best restaurants on the island (Fiddler's). The house had everything we wanted and needed and then some, we'll definitely rent through this company again.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that Oleander Cottage made for your best St. Simons experience yet! We’re so glad you loved everything about this home, from its great location to the peaceful backyard and the option to heat the pool—it really does add to the stay! It was a pleasure hosting you all and we would be thrilled to welcome you back for another getaway soon!

We had a great couple of days. The space was perfect and plenty of room to play games and gather to watch TV. We didn’t get to use the outdoors since it was cold and rainy, but what a great outdoor space to relax and enjoy your time in St. Simon’s Island. The bike rental was close for the first day when it wasn’t raining, and we had a little tour around the beautiful homes and pier area. We would definitely return.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Oleander Cottage! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the space perfect for gathering, playing games, and relaxing indoors. It’s wonderful that you were able to explore the beautiful homes and pier area on bikes, even with the rainy weather. While the outdoor space couldn’t be fully enjoyed this time, we hope you’ll return to take advantage of it on a sunnier visit. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back to St. Simons Island soon!

We loved our stay at the Oleander Cottage. The decor was adorable. I even snapped a few photos for my own decorating purposes. The beds were comfortable, and the layout was perfect for our party of 4. The only recommendation I would make is to add a Keurig coffee maker. And for anyone staying while the house next door is under construction, don't expect to sleep in much past 8am. Otherwise, everything was FABULOUS!

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Oleander Cottage!  We are so glad that you loved the decor in this home and even found some inspiration for your home!  We'll definitely take your recommendation about adding a Keurig coffee maker into consideration. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the construction next door. We hope that despite this, you still had a fabulous overall experience.  It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

Our stay at the Oleander Cottage was great! We have had the absolute best time even despite the storm. The care Lilmar took of this property post-storm did not go unnoticed. We were so impressed that on Wednesday our pool was cleaned and on Thursday our entire property had been cleaned. We are so very grateful. It could have been a terrible week but instead, our property was completely usable. So thank you so much for that!

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Oleander Cottage!  We're so happy to hear that your stay was wonderful, even with the unexpected storm!

Oleander Cottage was everything we hoped for. After being a care giver for almost 2 years, this trip was truly more about rest and renewal than pure vacation. We knew the home was on a busy road when we booked it, but we were ok with that. The cottage lived up to its lovely pictures and extra kudos for the private pool and its maintenance. Should we have the opportunity we would definiteley book this home again. Kim

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for your review.  We're so happy to hear that Oleander Cottage provided the perfect space for your well-deserved rest and renewal. It sounds like exactly what you needed – a tranquil escape to recharge.  It's fantastic to hear that the cottage itself lived up to its beautiful online pictures and that the private pool added to your relaxation.  It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope we can welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

The property was beautiful however I was unaware that we were on a main road and the amount of traffic there would be and you could hear in the two front bedrooms. The rental company was very attentive and took care of any need. The location in town could not be beat. We were within 5 min of pier village and 10 min of Redfern. I plan on returning.

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for your review and for being our guest at Oleander Cottage! We are thrilled you loved the property and we really appreciate your kind words about our attentive service. Our location on Demere Rd provides direct access to the Pier Village, is only 0.6 miles from the beach and is on one of the main roads for those on the island, but it also makes it a prime spot for exploring. We are so glad that this location allowed you to easily explore Pier Village and Redfern during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to St. Simons Island!

We really enjoyed our stay. Oleander is a nice house, with a wonderful backyard. I actually chose this house because of the backyard, and it did not disappoint. The screened in back porch really made the house for us. My wife and I had a very nice getaway. Thank you.

The perfect getaway for a group of girls! The pool was pleasantly heated even for late February temps/cloudy days.

We loved our stay on Saint Simon’s and this house is beautiful, clean and fully stocked with anything you may ever need. It’s a close walk to nearby restaurants like Fiddlers, Crab Daddy’s and Barrier Island Brewing company. We slept great in the comfy beds and the back yard space is wonderful. It’s walking distance to the pier and an easy walk to the beach. Open layout and all one level added to its charm.

We had the most fabulous getaway at the Oleander Cottage on St. Simons! The house is spacious, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked! We loved the pool (with heat) and enjoyed the beautiful fire pit! Backyard felt like an oasis! The house is walking distance from the beach and restaurants but a golf cart from High Tides made everything that much easier. The customer service was 5-star from the management company-Lilmar. Would highly recommend and definitely stay here again!

Oleander Cottage was the perfect location to host a girls trip. The kitchen was stocked with everything and the beds and home appointments extremely comfortable and relaxing. The back yard is private but yet open allowing plenty of room for everyone to gather. Highly recommend renting a golf cart for your group but not necessary, just convenient. House is close to restaurants, bars and great shopping. We’ll be back!

What a great place for a vacation with my girlfriends! The heated pool during the fall was amazing! We stayed in the pool the whole time. I highly recommend this place. There was seven women in the group. We rented the limo golf cart to go to town, the beach and the liquor store. It was perfect!

Absolutely Beautiful home and yard!!! We loved the private pool and enjoyed the fire pit every night! The backyard is truly a private oasis!
