Roseneath Cottage

Due to the tropical storm we asked to move the stay (the night before we were suppose to leave) to 3 days later. This was no problem and took only 15 minutes to organize. Super friendly! We have been going here for the last 3 years, its always great!

COMFY!

Loved this place! Very cozy and comfortable. Very personal touches but really could use better mattresses. Otherwise nice stay

Had a wonderful time at roseneath cottage. The downstairs bedroom layout was perfect for having small children. Loved the access to the pool and beach.

Our family has been coming to Saint Simons for over seven (7) year and has stayed on the same street. This was our first time renting. The experience renting from Real Escapes Properties was wonderful. The process online was very easy and checking in and out went great. I would overall recommend to our family. We do have a few recommendations for the home owner to help improve the house. Here are the few things about the home: adding a fan on the second floor outdoors, fixing the broken light in the bathroom on the second floor, and looking at adding a King size bed in one of the rooms (this would benefit with taller individuals). We did notice that the bathroom upstairs was not the cleanest and could use some upgrades. However, looking past the few recommendations we have for the house, the house was a great rental and provided our family a great week of vacation. We are excited to come back in the future and see the final boardwalk completed and enjoy the area. It is always nice to experience, the people are wonderful and we enjoy our time at SSI. So thank you for all you do to make it happen and for the house owner to rent the house out.

Amazing rental company to work with! Everyone was so kind and helpful! The house was at an amazing location! Perfect for our family vacation. We loved the kitchen!

The house was better than the photos! We rent the house to celebrate our daugther's 16th birthday with some of her friends! It was perfect! The girls had the downstairs area for sleeping and "primping" for dinner out and my husband and I had the upstairs bedroom! The balcony is great and then kitchen is better than the photos. Location is awesome and pool area is great! We look forward to visiting again!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Roseneath cottage. Especially loved the location!

There were a few things that were dissatisfactory. One being the mosquito issue walking from the boardwalk to the beach. I have never experienced such in my life. We were eaten up everyday. There are swarms and swarms. Which obviously has nothing to do with the actual cottage but hopefully someone can take care of the issue ! One other issue was the cleanliness of our cottage. Upon arrival, when washing my hands in the restroom, I found that the mirror had toothpaste splats from the previous stay. It was nasty! The upstairs bathroom mirror also had splats all over the mirror. That is such an easy clean up for the cleaners! It just wasn’t done. There was also hair in the bathtub :( .

Excellent stay! House was super clean!

This is our 3rd family trip to Saint Simons and our first staying at the Coastal Cottage Community. We absolutely loved Roseneath Cottage. It’s quaint and cozy and had plenty of space for our family. The porch is awesome!! My only recommendation would be to add more furniture to the porch because it’s so nice sitting up there. A small couch or loveseat and a couple more chairs would be a really fantastic addition. Can’t wait to come back next year! Also, and this has nothing to do with the house, but some more places to sit and even some umbrellas/tables would be a welcomed addition to the community pool area.

This home is in a wonderful location. The pool is a nice option and we were always able to find a spot on the beach. The street is quiet and people were friendly. The house and furniture need updating! The couch on the first floor had stains that were so bad no one would hang out there. The bathrooms are dated. The glass shade over the light in the bathroom was broken- a $4 fix. The Kitchen is in rough shape--cracked counter top, dated oven/stove top, inefficient fridge, limited countertop space, cluttered. All the tv's were too small for a group to sit and watch together. The rugs need cleaning. Our bathroom rug was dirty when we arrived. We did enjoy our stay. We loved the upper balcony. The place has vast potential. It just needs some thoughtful updating.

The house was in a perfect location for touring the island. The house was delightful and very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home.

We had a wonderful time in the Roseneath Cottage. We were down for our daughter's graduation and had some family with us. There was room for parents, kids, and grandparents. The porches were perfect for catching up, goofing off, and even dining. Amenities were plentiful, bedding was as expected, and the management was great. The walk to the beach was long for our older parents, but the path was well maintained so it was easy to walk through the sand. The pools were great.

The cottage is a really good size for two couples. Loved the upper deck for cocktails, people watching, and chilling. Loved being on the beach with a beautiful pool area. We really enjoyed our stay - despite the obvious need for updating and deep cleaning.

Look, the house needs work. Kitchen counters are cracked and the sink is chipped. Lovely wooden floor on main level has been badly scratched up (why is there no felt under all chair legs?). The stairs and banister were dirty, with flotsam all over. The queen bed downstairs smelled like mildew, although linens seemed clean. Bathrooms are dated but everything worked. Shower curtains clean and plenty of towels. Lots of pillows too.
All the furniture is worn - typical for so many rentals. The twin bed mattresses creak loudly and the fan in that room is a disaster, wobbling and banging. I realize you cannot expect perfection, but some updating would go a long way.

Side note: we called the house Casa de las Puertas, in that there are so many doors!

Overall, we had a good time at this house. Beach location and facilities are really great. If a bit cleaner and updated we would definitely stay again.

The location can’t be beat quiet street and steps to the beach.

However that was the only good part. Check in was easy but the management company is closed on weekends and on the weekdays the lobby is closed so there was NO personal contact, they never checked with us to see how things were after we checked in. The rugs in the house were all stained and in desperate need of steam cleaning. The bath towels were very thin and cheap, they should be replaced. Both coffee makers had old moldy grounds in them and the regular coffee maker had old coffee left in the pot. A soaking wet bath rug and towels were left buy the cleaners. The TV’s are very small. This house has huge potential but needs new furniture and much better cleaning between guests.

It was nice to have a second living space.

Adorable cottage in prime location with easy access to the beach and private community pool. Wonderful covered deck allowed us to enjoy the outdoors even when it rained. Two cozy living spaces and a fully stocked kitchen were perfect! The downstairs bedrooms are perfect for a family with close proximity to one another. Ride your bikes to local restaurants and shops. We will be back!

Quaint cottage for two families with small children. Master bedroom on main with large kitchen, good living room and great porch. Downstairs with one bedroom full and one bedroom w Twin bed (one w trundle) and sofa couch. Limited space for unpacking clothes but easily worked around. Sleeping tight downstairs with older kids. Clean, well stocked home. The two pools and beach access make this a great rental. Parking is tight with two spots for this unit and closely monitored by a parking monitor ( seemed he was more eager on weekends and holidays). Management company was GREAT!!! Would stay here or any property within this planned and private neighborhood.

Fantastic Location.
Clean and comfy.
Had a great time.
Would stay here again.

The location was just what we were looking for walking distance to beach and pool. There was also a beach wagon making it easy to bring things back and forth. The amenities at the house were perfect. We saw comments about updating but for us the house was warm and homey. We were looking for comfortable and beachy and it checked all the boxes. The management company was awesome, we called with many questions and they were super helpful. We also had a small issue with one of the A/C units and I call it small as they had someone out to fix it within 2 hours. It was literally taken care of while we were at the beach. We definitely plan on going back.

Great beach house location , decor and amenities. We loved our stay. The upstairs porch was awesome for playing games and just hanging out. The house had all the extras you would expect and more. The team at Real Escapes was awesome as well answering everyone question or request

We had a great week. The house was the perfect size for our family.

Overall, the house was fine and we had a good stay. It's a great location and setup. House could use some maintenance. The outside shower for washing sand off feet does not work, and there is an odd funk in the master bath shower. The sink for that bath also was not draining but we were able to fix that. Some instructions for the TV would be good. One of the downstairs TVs required a password and the other one downstairs had no input.

We had an enjoyable experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Roseneath Cottage. The location amenities were fantastic. The children enjoyed playing with the beach toys and the push cart was helpful in carrying everything to and from the beach. The house was stocked, although the kitchen could use some updating. The second floor balcony was the favorite feature as many meals were enjoyed in the cool breeze here.

Real Escapes is a great rental company with super nice people. Will certainly rent again and recommend. Had a wonderful time and house was great! Kitchen does need updated stove and microwave but would rent again. Thanks for a great Labor Day Weekend. St. Simon island is a fun place for families.

We were very satisfied with Roseneath Cottage. The porches were good spaces for "hanging out" when the hot weather indicated quiet time was appropriate. This was our third visit to properties on Cottage Lane, and the amenities (pool and private boardwalk) entered into our choice each time.
