Sanderling Cottage was great. So close the the lighthouse area and the wharf. Short drive over to East Beach. The cottage was comfortable and clean and just the right size for five of us. We would’ve liked a regular bed in the 3rd bedroom instead of the Murphy Bed. It was a bit creaky and not as comfortable. The yard was beautiful and great for our pup. We would definitely stay again!

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Sanderling Cottage! We're delighted to hear that the location near the lighthouse and wharf made it easy to explore, and that the cottage itself was cozy and a good fit for your group. We are so glad that your pup enjoyed the beautiful yard too! We appreciate your feedback about the Murphy bed and will keep it in mind for future improvements. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we’d love to welcome you back for another stay!

The house was perfect for what we were looking for during our stay. Everything was very clean and all items we needed were provided. Communication with the host was very prompt. We also appreciated the gear rental services provided that dropped off bikes at the house for our stay duration. The neighborhood was very safe for bike riding/walking around with a 2 year old. We also liked the layout of the house where two groups of people could stay on opposite sides of the house for extra noise control. The fenced in backyard was also enjoyable. Would highly recommend!

Manager Response:  Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review and for being our guest at Sanderling Cottage! We’re thrilled the house was a great fit and had everything you needed. We are so glad that the neighborhood felt safe for your little one and that the layout worked perfectly for your group as well. We’re so happy to hear that gear rental service added to your experience—having bikes delivered makes exploring so easy!  It was a pleasure hosting you all and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Sanderling Cottage! So peaceful and quiet, even with the airport close by. Everything one could need was provided: very clean, very well decorated, just the best spot for my DH, myself and my sister (this was a Silly Sisters' Vacation/Birthdays' Adventure). Even our Boston Terrier loved it. Thank you so very much, and we hope to visit again soon. Connie Bentz

The house was really adorable. But I fell in love with the backyard stayed out there for hours sitting underneath the oak tree and their chairs. Just put a fan on me and you could stay all day and my dogs absolutely loved being back there. The kitchen had everything you needed to make dinners at home The master bedroom the bed was very very comfortable, and I fell in love with their sheets. In fact, I took a picture so I can order them for my bed at home. Will come back

This property was wonderful for us traveling with our dog. The back yard was perfect for him to run and play with his ball. The house was well appointed and very clean. The beds were very comfortable. Everywhere we went on the Island was super dog-friendly. We had a great vacation. Would definitely recommend.

This property was clean, well maintained and spacious. Big fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog and the hammock was my daughter's favorite spot! Upon our first shower we noticed that the drain was very slow. We contacted the property manager and it was fixed immediately. They were great in communicating. We would definitely stay here again!

Manager Response: Thank you for your kind words and for being our guest at Sanderling Cottage!

Check in and check out was very easy. Great location in a quiet neighborhood and not far from downtown pier. The backyard was great for the fur baby. The house was nice and clean. If we ever find ourselves back in SSI we would definitely rent again!

The house was great. Very nicely stocked. The backyard could use some maintenance as there are a ton of dead leaves and a breeding ground for the already many mosquitoes. The large area of dirt becomes mud in the rain, overall messy especially with a pup. The shards of shells on the floor make for a hazard on the bare feet. The kitchen was awesome for cooking and the split floor plan was great, the kids could be in one area while the adults relaxed. The room with the murphy bed needs some door repairs but nothing that interrupted our stay. All and all a great stay. Easy drive into town. Supermarket right down the street. Great neighborhood to walk in.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Sanderling Cottage.  We are so glad you enjoyed how well-stocked the house was, the kitchen, the location and and the split floor plan for your family. We appreciate your feedback about the backyard and murphy bed, they not only help us make necessary improvements but also ensure we provide the best possible experience for all our guests. We will be sure to address those items you mentioned.  It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

Internet and cable issues as mentioned by several others. Maybe this is a SSI issue rather than a property specific issue since we stayed on SSI earlier in the year and had the same problem with another property (not associated with Lilmar). Very clean, nice neighborhood, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen, and prompt communication with Lilmar (they did their best to resolve the issue). I think this will be our last visit to SSI - but don’t let this stop you if communication with the outside world is not a priority for you!

Manager Response: Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Sanderling Cottage. We understand that internet connection is an essential aspect of the guest experience, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you had during your stay here.  We have taken your feedback seriously and have made significant improvements to our internet. We have invested in all-new equipment that will provide a seamless and reliable internet experience for our guests at Sanderling Cottage moving forward. We are glad to hear that despite all that, you enjoyed the home and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. If your future travels bring you back to the area, it would be a pleasure to host you all again!

Lilmar really makes a great effort to communicate promptly and frequently. Received emails from them before, during, and after our stay. Nice. In fact, I was so worried about checking in too soon (based on emails from Lilmar), that we waited in the driveway until 4:00 pm only to notice a tag on the door indicating the property was ready. Maybe add that to your communication- “if you see a tag on the door knob, your property may be ready early”. As for the property - very clean, comfortable bed, nice neighborhood, and well stocked kitchen. Only issue as noted by others - poor Internet and cable service. These utilities were not working on arrival. We notified Lilmar and they tried to rectify the situation as best they could based on the fact that it was almost 5:00 pm and most service people were now unavailable. Lilmar service people were dispatched first thing in the morning and then the internet provider arrived a little later. A hot spot thingy was provided by Lilmar and the service provider got the internet working- which would end up being temporarily- for the day. The following morning everything was out again and we decided to leave a day early since it was raining and predicted to rain most of the day. Not sure if the internet issue is house specific or a SSI issue since we stayed in SSI earlier in the year and had the same problem with another property (not Lilmar associated). Thank you Lilmar for your efforts and concerns!

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Sanderling Cottage!  We genuinely appreciate your thoughtful review and are happy to hear that you found our communication prompt and frequent.  We are so glad the home overall was clean, comfortable and that you enjoyed the neighborhood as well during your stay.  We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the Internet and cable services. We understand the importance of reliable connectivity, and we appreciate your patience as we worked to address the issue promptly. We will be looking into this to make sure it is not an issue moving forward for future guests.  We completely understand you decision to leave early due to the weather and we are so sorry the weather did not cooperate for your stay.  We hope can have the opportunity to host you all again next time you are in St. Simons for a more seamless stay.

We recently stayed at Sanderling Cottage for the second time. Our four week stay was yet again, incredible. Sanderling feels like home. My husband and I and our two children have created such beautiful memories at Sanderling. The Lilmar Staff are always so quick to respond to any request or issue and are beyond professional. I cannot recommend the property enough! Thank you again for making our summer dreams always come true.

The home was very clean & well kept. Kitchen was stocked well and items were easy to locate. Furniture & bedding was nice & comfortable.

We stayed for a week in June at the Sanderling Cottage and we love this place! First off, it is the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed in…not even dust bunnies on the wicker furniture! We had 2 kids, 2 parents, and 1 grandparent, and this cottage was the perfect size for us all to have separate spaces but be cozy together during gathering times. Perfect backyard for our very large dog…actual grass in the backyard and very sturdy fence. The owners have truly thought of everything and anticipated every need. The location is central to all the things we were there for…7 minute drive to East Beach, 3 minutes to the village, and far enough away to be quiet and private. We will 100% book to stay here the next time we come to SSI!

Manager Response: Thank you for your 5 star review and for being our guest at Sanderling Cottage! We are so glad this spot was perfect for you all for your week long family vacation!

We enjoyed this home. Was on a very quiet street but close enough to beaches and town. House was well appointed and very clean. Beds were very comfortable and pillows were too. Two things would have made our stay better: TVs in the bedrooms and a pool. All posted in the listing so I was aware ahead of time. We travel with one of our dogs do it’s challenging to find a comfortable place to stay that’s clean. This house didn’t disappoint. The host was very receptive to communication ahead of our stay and we honestly didn’t need them during our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

The house was so clean which is the most important thing to me. There is a fantastic detailed notebook with all the information you will need for your stay in St. Simons. Beds were SO COMFORTABLE!

I can't say enough about this cottage. It looks even better in person, so many beautiful details in each room. Loved the amount of light and windows, the shades are great also. Every room was well decorated, stocked and inviting. The kitchen has a great pantry with everything you may need. The outdoor fenced yard was excellent for the dogs. The neighborhood is great and super conveniently located to the Pier/downtown area and beaches. It was our first visit to St Simons, and for sure not the last. I will be booking this place as long as it's available. Thank you for the opportunity of enjoying this great property, this family and doggos thank you!

The house was very comfortable for my husband and I to stay, along with our two dogs. The backyard was large enough for the dogs to run and play, and it had a nice privacy fence. I loved that there were outside dog toys already in the backyard. There is a nice patio with a table and chairs to enjoy the evening as the sun goes down. We didn't use the grill out back, but it was nice and clean for the next renters to use. The house was well stocked with everything you could imagine. I loved everything the kitchen had to offer. Plenty of kitchen gadgets and appliances for one wanting to use them. The master bedroom was all we used, but it was very comfortable and spacious for a rental. It took a few days for us to get used to the noise of being so close to an airport, but once we got used to it, we would sit out on the front porch and watch all the planes take off. The neighborhood is very nice, safe and friendly. I would recommend renting this house for anyone visiting the area.

Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation for Sanderling Cottage, Michelle! We hope to see you again!

We had such a great time at Sanderling Cottage. The house was clean, well-maintained and equipped with beach toys, chairs and towels. The backyard was fenced and our 5-month old puppy adored it, roaming around and having a great time. The kitchen had everything one could need for extended stays, and there were many nice little touches, such as herbs and spices, board games, and supplies for our puppy. The house perfectly matched the listing, and the neighborhood was great. Easy cycle ride to the Pier Village and beach. We can't wait to come back.

The cottage was a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home. Simply decorated with a beach vibe that included all the amenities anyone would need. The cottage was meticulous in every way possible and seemed pretty newly constructed both inside and outside. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful to relax and sit in the back yard and dream away while rocking in the hammock. The linens were fresh and crisp as if the were hardly used. It was very safe and gave a peace of mind if there are small ones involved, even the fury four legged children :) Just a wonderful way to start off the summer of 2021 and if all else goes the same way as our stay at this cottage went then life will be golden. By the way, I have never given a review before but this one was definitely worth sharing my thoughts.

The house is phenomenally maintained. Interior and exterior look freshly redone. Very well equipped. They had absolutely everything we needed and more. Being pet friendly sealed the deal for us, but you couldn't tell there had ever been a per in the house. It was that well kept. We will be back.

We had the pleasure of calling your beautiful cottage "home" for the past five weeks. Our seven year old daughter and three year old son never wanted to leave the huge backyard and hammock. The cottage was appointed with absolutely everything you could want. We cooked, grilled, played board games, used your boogie boards and beach towels - and created the most special memories that we will never forget. I could rave about all we did on the island (our favorite place in the world) but your welcoming home is where we had our best times. Thank you for providing a beautiful, comfortable and extremely clean home during such a challenging time in the world during COVID-19. We will be back and are already planning our return. All our very best, The Greens

Cottage was very close to the village - a 5 minute drive away. Quiet location, friendly neighbors.. My dog loved the fenced in backyard! My only suggestion would be to up the water pressure...its low (especially in the shower). Furnished nicely, beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed our time there greatly.

Manager Response: Thank you for being our guest last month and your kind comments Barbara!  We will make sure to improve the water pressure in both bathrooms.  We hope to have you back again soon!

Cottage was clean, well equipped and nearly new. Yard was large and fenced. Neighborhood quiet and location was convenient.

My wife and I enjoyed our 40th anniversary here. The house and yard were actually nicer than they appeared from the pictures. If was perfect for us, plenty of room for relaxing and play with two distinct areas in front and back. The location was ideal to restaurants and the beach. We could not have expected anything to be nicer.

This was the best house we’ve rented on the island. Clean, well stocked, convenient, and comfortable:)

We had a wonderful and relaxing long weekend. We come to St Simons Island at least 3 times a year and this was, by far, the best experience we’ve had with a rental cottage. The home was clean, attractive, convenient, comfortable, and very well stocked. We will definitely stay at Sanderling cottage again.

This property was very well equipped, especially the kitchen. As a designer I think the furniture needs some improvement, especially the sofa and chairs. The lamps were very old and I would worry about the wiring if it hasn't been rewired. Thought the finishes on the case goods was fine.

Manager Response: Hi Joan! Thank you for your feedback and we are so glad you enjoyed your time at the Sanderling Cottage. We are working with the owners on a few of your recommendations to improve them for future guests. Thank you! Adam

Darling home with a large fenced yard which was perfect for our active dog. The house had everything needed to feel right at home. Home is centrally located with easy access to beaches, the village & restaurants. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Though we have vacationed in St Simons numerous times, this was our first time renting a cottage. What a difference, especially if you have a dog. Ours really enjoying the fenced back yard (our own yard isn't). This cottage wants for nothing. Kitchen is better equipped than our own or any vacation rental we have vacationed in. This will now be out first choice when looking to stay in St Simons. Adam was wonderful to work with. He kept us apprised of the hurricane track and called to let us know we were ok to check in as scheduled.

We have vacationed in St Simons numerous times, but had always stayed in a condo, This was our first time renting a cottage, and what a difference! Fantastic location and fenced lot for the dog. Cottage is well done and fantastically equipped. This has moved to the top choice when looking to stay again.

This property was perfect! They thought of everything you could possibly need. So clean and comfortable. The privacy fenced backyard was perfect for our dog.

This house was great! It was very clean and comfortable. It was nicely updated and and everything we needed! Would stay here again.

Nicole - Posted: 9/2/2019

We stayed at the end of July 2019 and really loved the place. The pictures on line don't do it justice. It's very model, well stocked and very clean. The backyard was really nice and dog friendly. The location was good, just a very short drive to the beach and town. We have already decided we would like to return for a longer period of time.

Wonderful cottage. In a great area and everything was clean and kept nice. The yard is wonderful for dogs or kids to play in

Perfect for our family of 4 and two small dogs. The kitchen is well equipped although we didn’t cook much, it has more than enough items for your Cooking/Baking needs. The fenced backyard was perfect for our kids and dogs to play. The side entry and water hose rinse area was great to rinse off after going to the beach. Home was Clean and had everything we needed, including beach towels and toys. Great first visit in Saint Simons. Enjoyed a day trip to Jekyll to visit the Sea Turtle Hospital and Waterpark. Explored Fort Federica with a very interesting and knowledgeable Tour Guide. Went to the pool at Neptune Park and to East Beach. We enjoyed eating at The Half Shell, Del Sur and Sal’s Neighborhood Pizza.

House was perfect and the atmosphere was relaxing. Thanks for giving us a home like setting to enjoy our few days of vacation. It ended too soon.

Debi - Posted: 5/14/2019

This has been one of our favourite rentals we have stayed in, and we have stayed in many! The location is perfect, set in a quiet neighborhood with a 15 minute walk to the village. The home is clean, recently renovated with a kitchen that has everything you need. I cooked our whole Easter meal without missing anything from my own kitchen. The yard is perfect size for our dogs who felt right at home. The beds are AWESOME! We will be back, if you ever consider selling.....call us!

Sanderling Cottage is bright, comfortable and convenient. It is a perfect place to stay while you explore the history and splendor of St Simon’s Island - whether with family, old friends or a beloved pet. The host/hostess have thought of everything. We hope to return next year!

Charming well maintained ,spacious cottage and gardens,with every convenience.Perfect location,close to SSI hub of Neptune Square ( restaurants and shopping),and outstanding beaches,and golf courses.

David - Posted: 4/12/2019

Sanderling Cottage was attractive and well maintained. We and our friends each had a private sleeping area with an ensuite bath. In addition to relaxing together in the bright family room or in the nicely landscaped yard, we enjoyed taking long walks on the beach and visiting local historic sites. Other highlights included dining at seafood restaurants, participating in a yoga class and getting a terrific haircut at a local salon. It was our second stay at Sanderling Cottage and we look forward to returning!

Sanderling Cottage is a clean, convenient, comfortable place with attractive and homey decorating touches. We were 5 people...had plenty of room for gathering and for privacy...kitchen big enough for cooking projects on rainy days. The large backyard is fenced, with grill and patio; side yard has station for rinsing sand off shoes. Local East Beach and marshes, birds, are close to hand with the driftwood beaches of Jekyll Island and yummy Indigo and The Village Oven in Brunswick just short drives away. Can't wait 'til next year, can you?

Susan - Posted: 3/31/2019

A great location, wonderful yard and open floor plan. Even on a rainy day, we enjoyed the comfort of the great room, and the separate TV area. Whether sunning or sitting in the shade of the trees, this is a perfect place for relaxing. And the cottage is well maintained with attention to every detail.

Wonderful location. Walking distance to town and pier. Very comfortable house. Sleeps 6 comfortably. Would definitely stay here again.
