Vitamin Sea Cottage

We loved our stay at Vitamin Sea cottage. Great location; easy walk to beach access. The cottage is very clean and updated, with a large, pretty kitchen, generous dining table and comfortable sitting area (seating for 10) looking out two sets of French doors onto the pool and gorgeous green yard leading to marshes and the ocean. No ocean views (trees have grown) but the lovely live oak and morning sun rises were serene. Bedrooms and bathrooms are very nice as well.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review - we're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Vitamin Sea Cottage! It sounds like you made the most of the peaceful location and thoughtful layout. From the spacious kitchen and dining area to the cozy seating with views of the pool and lush greenery, we’re thrilled it was the perfect retreat. We have to agree about the morning views with the live oaks - it is absolutely stunning! So glad you enjoyed the peaceful start to each day at the cottage. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Our 3 families loved our stay at Vitamin Sea Cottage! This home is the perfect combination of new/updated and charming/warm. The location is perfect for beach access while maintaining privacy. The pool area was a hit when the beach was too windy- lots of shade to lounge and swim. Just beautiful! We had a few minor issues but the management team was quick to respond, friendly, and accommodating. Lots of pool toys and beach gear provided. The house looks small compared to its neighbors but there’s tons of space! We 100% recommend this property and hope to return again:)

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Vitamin Sea cottage!  We're thrilled to hear that this home was a perfect fit for your three families. It's great to know you enjoyed the combination of updated amenities and charming warmth, as well as the convenient yet private location. We're glad the pool area was a hit, and that our management team could quickly address any minor issues as well. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope we can welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay! The property manager was very responsive with a couple questions we had. The only drawback was that we could not walk on the path to the beach because of all the rain - it was basically muddy puddles. The beach is only a short 5 minute walk away so it was all fine.

Manager Response: Thank you so much for your review and for being our guest at Vitamin Sea Cottage! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our property manager’s responsiveness. We’re sorry to hear about the muddy path – when it rains a lot, it can get soggy. We are so glad the other beach access was an easy alternative for you all. We appreciate your patience and flexibility with that. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

We loved staying at this house. It was great for our group. We had a wide range of ages stay and it fit everyone easily. It was close to the downtown area but far enough away that it felt a little more private. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you so much for the great vacation!

Manager Response: Thank you so much for your review and for being our guest at Vitamin Sea Cottage! We are so glad that you all loved the location of this home but also the privacy it provided as well. It really is a special spot. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you all back again soon!

We loved staying in your home. Everything was wonderful and the few items that did need attention due to a storm that passed through, were immediately handled by the property management company. Great location with easy access to the beach. Would highly recommend staying here..

We loved our stay at this home. It has the perfect location on East Beach. The pool was so good to have and we heated it because it was chilly the week we went in April. The home had all the towels, beach gear, some bikes, games, etc. Great furnishings and the Apple TV was also nice to have to watch movies at night. Check in and out was smooth and we will stay here again.

Manager Response: Thank you for your 5 star review, Jenah! We are so glad you loved your stay here! We hope to see you all again soon!

There’s a special feel to this home’s older style that speaks of the history of the island that isn’t equally represented in East Beach, with all the other new builds and remodels. This home has retained its charm, from the original wood floors to the stained glass windows. It feels attended to and loved; cherished for the memories made. And oh- did we make some new memories! The location is perfect. I felt right in the center with access to Mallory Street shopping and foods, the beach is either a quick walk or a quick golf cart trip to Coast Guard Station, and main grocery store is also a quick golf cart trip. Taking in the sunset above the marsh on our evening strolls was spectacular. The rooms were well furnished and clean, with comfortable linens. The layout worked well for our group, with the eldest on the main level bedroom/en suite and kids sharing the double rooms above. The pool was warmed to a very comfortable temperature for mid-April (we also had unseasonable cooler winds!- so the heated pool was nice!) and the size and structure of the pool were perfect and beautiful. The kitchen was stocked also to perfection. Everything worked and everything was appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful Spring Break 2022 with family!

Manager Response: Thank you for your 5 star review! We are so glad you loved the charm of Vitamin Sea Cottage! It really is an incredible home. How wonderful that you all made some special memories here and we hope to see you again soon to make more wonderful memories!

We enjoyed the close proximity to the beach. The pool was great too. The water temperature was cooler than we expected during the summer which was very refreshing. The outdoor shower was a plus. The house was quaint with a cottage feel. We had a maintenance issue during our stay but Lilmar Properties was quick to respond.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review, Dianna!  We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Vitamin Sea Cottage!  We hope to see you again soon!

My wife and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at Vitamin Sea Cottage! Our experience during the week was more than we could have asked for. The weather was great (hot), and the accommodations were even better. We had a total of 10 people (6 adults, and 4 grandchildren). Having 6 bedrooms available, everyone had bedrooms of their choice. The cottage was very large, with plenty of spots for group activities or quiet spots for reading or puzzling. The kitchen area was plenty big. The appliances were modern, and there were enough pots and pans for any type of meal. The outside areas of Vitamin Sea provided space for everyone. There were enough tables and chairs for who ever wanted one. The 4 pool lounge chairs were utilized often. We had the pool heated for the week just to make sure the Northern guests didn't get too cold jumping in. The storage shed off the pool had 3 bikes, beach chairs, beach cart to tote items, beach umbrella, and many children's toys. There was even an outside infant tree swing! In closing, I want to thank the Lilmar Properties for helping make our 50th anniversary vacation a success!

Manager Response:  Thank you for your 5 star review, Kenneth!  Happy 50th anniversary!  That is definitely worth celebrating, and we are so glad Vitamin Sea provided the perfect backdrop for you all to relax and hang out as a family.  We hope to see you all again soon!

What a fabulous stay at this property. It accommodated our needs and there was plenty of space for each guest. Sitting out on the patio watching the sun rise was the highlight of our stay! Our dog loved the fenced in backyard and the easy walk to the beach!

Manager Response: Thank you for your 5 star review, Jenna! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay - and those beautiful sunrises! We hope to see you all again soon!

This home did not disappoint! It had every amenity we needed and was located in the amazing East Beach neighborhood. We had the pool heated bc it was still in the 70’s and it was the perfect temperature. We had a carbon monoxide detector malfunction while we were there but maintenance was speedy to replace it. You can access the beach multiple ways and it’s situated perfect for morning walks all over St. Simons. The tempurpedic bed, beautiful decor, fully stocked kitchen, Apple TV, and all beach equipment made it such a nice stay. We will stay here again!

Vitamin Sea had 6 bedrooms to accommodate our family. The great room, kitchen, and sitting area were great gathering places. The pool and outdoor area are beautiful and the heated pool was warm enough to be comfortable for swimming. The house has the feel of a quaint beach cottage. The downstairs bedroom could use a chest or drawers to store folded clothes. It was awesome to have 2 washers and 2 dryers. . The house overlooks the dunes, which is beautiful. Sadly, the path to the beach was flooded so we had to go to another trail a few houses down to get to the beach. Overall, we enjoyed the house, the location, and the spaciousness that it provided. Thanks for providing an inviting place for our family.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review, Mary!  We are so glad you all had an enjoyable stay and enjoyed the heated pool and spacious outdoor area.  We appreciate your suggestion on the chest of drawers for the bedroom and will work with the owner on finding a solution for that.  We hope to see you as a guest again soon!

Vitamin Sea is a wonderful vacation home in an excellent location next to East Beach. The house is very clean and beautifully decorated with comfortable furnishings. The fenced backyard was fantastic for our dog to run around in. The yard and patio areas have very attractive landscaping with plenty of seating options. We opted for heating the pool (in March) and had hours of enjoyment in the 90 degree water. We also relaxed at the lovely beach just a short walk from the house. The property managers were very easy to work with as an added bonus. The only glitch we had was when the smoke alarm/carbon monoxide detector started beeping in the downstairs bedroom in the middle of the night. The alarm is newer and had a lifetime battery, so we suspect it was triggered by humidity in the room. It shut off after we opened the bedroom door and lowered the AC a bit. It never happened again once we kept the bedroom door open. It was a minor inconvenience but I'm mentioning it so others might know to keep that door open. Overall, our stay was fantastic. We've rented many beach houses over the years and this was definitely one of our favorites!

Manager Response: Thank you for your 5 star review, Maria! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Vitamin Sea! The location and charm of this house make for a memorable vacation, so glad it is now one of your favorites! We have made note of and will look into the issue you mentioned above as well with the smoke alarm. We hope to see you again soon!

Upon arrival, the house was better than we expected. Classic beach house in every sense, with white wood paneling and hardwood floors. Very nicely decorated with an inviting entry looking straight through the kitchen and family room to the rear yard/pool. Love the way the house is setup. Great kitchen. Comfortable beds and linens. Really enjoy the privacy. Perfect place to unwind at the back of the pool looking towards the ocean. The rear acreage has been great for the dog to run and protects against beach traffic. Pool has been great as well. Perfect water temperature. Appreciate the landscape lighting. And the new fence and rear gate look good and compliment the house nicely. And property management was super responsive and more then helpful with our two requests. We enjoyed the property tremendously. This has been our first time to St. Simon and will look forward to returning and hopefully staying at Vitamin Sea Cottage again. Terrific. Thank you.

Charles, thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review of Vitamin Sea Cottage! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated all the things that make this property a very special place. We look forward to seeing you again on a return visit.

Everyone in our family enjoyed our stay at Vitamin Sea Cottage. Our entire family of ten (6 adults and 4 children) stayed for eleven days and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cottage was well equipped for a family and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals at “home.” It was also great to have two sitting areas so we could have a separate place for work when needed.

We had a wonderful stay at Vitamin Sea! Our kids (and us) loved the pool and the yard. The house was clean and had plenty of items to make it home away from home for a week. The beach was a short walk away, too! The street was quiet and perfect for riding bikes and taking our pups walks. We are very pleased!

This property was perfect to host our family. The two living areas made it so easy for everyone to spread out. The open kitchen was great for preparing our meals. Awesome large dining table for everyone to gather. We loved the furniture and decor. Very clean, safe comfortable house. We appreciated the automatic mosquito spray that was outside around the sitting areas and pool. Easy access to East beach. Close to grocery store. Perfect location. Definitely will book again.
