Beach Crew Cottage - 206 Ashantilly Avenue

Our favorite spot is the big open and airy covered back deck at Beach Crew Cottage. We designed this space to be an extension of the indoor space - making the poolside outdoor spot like a second living room. We chose comfortable seating here, added an outdoor TV, and there's great visibility to the pool to keep an eye on the swimmers. There's a large gas grill just off to the left - our idea of a perfect afternoon after a day at the beach is to throw some burgers on the grill, put the kids in the pool, and relax in the shade! THE SPACE Enter the home and turn into the dining room seating 8-10 people comfortably. Off the dining room is a bonus sleeping porch or office with pull out sofa bed for one. Big kitchen with stainless steel appliances to include refrigerator, pull out drawer freezer, electric range cooktop and stove, dishwasher and kitchen is fully equipped. Off the kitchen bar area is a separate bar area with mini refrigerator, bar sink and equipped with a blender and single serve coffee maker. The large expansive family room has a large screen TV and fireplace. Access the covered deck area and pool from the family room sliding glass doors. Wifi-Internet is available. Bedrooms: - Primary Suite: King bed, en-suite bathroom with large shower, plenty of closet space and a nice TV. There's also a private patio off the primary suite. - Queen Bedroom 1 - comfortable bedding on the main level (this is a single level home) - Queen Bedroom 2 - just as comfortable and just down the hall. - Bunk Room - triple bunk bed and pull out queen sleeper sofa for the kids. Near the bunk room is an additional bathroom with shower and a summer kitchen with more storage and washer/dryer. An easily accessed half bath is located at entry to summer kitchen from the deck and pool. The deck also has an outdoor shower. A leisurely ~15-minute walk (or ~2-minute drive) takes you past a neighborhood playground and gets you to the Village area. The Village offers the pier, lighthouse, Neptune Park, restaurants, shops, bars, beach access and more. At just over a mile from the house, more substantial beach access at Massengale Park and East Beach are both just a ~5 minute drive away. St. Simons features a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of bike or walking paths, making this home feel accessible to just about everything the island has to offer. While the home is much larger on the inside than it appears outside, it also retains much of its original historical charm as an island cottage built in 1942. The floor plan offers privacy for those that want to rest while others opt to play games and gather for a great time - fantastic for a small group or large extended/multiple families and friends! A full size baby crib is available here at Beach Crew Cottage along with several toys for small children. Located on the south end of the Island, St. Simons Pier Village district serves as the downtown social hub and is a popular destination for shopping, dining and gathering on the pier and nearby lighthouse, playground and picnic areas. Overlooking the ocean and Jekyll Island across the way, you'll find the St. Simons Lighthouse and Museum, Neptune Park with its ocean side pool and facilities, playground, miniature golf course, and an oak shaded picnic area, fishing pier, public library and theater.
