Pet Friendly | 500 feet to East Beach | No Host Fees

Welcome to Bide-A-Wee Bungalow at 1729 1/2 Bruce Drive on Saint Simons Island, managed by Emmons Realty. This 2-bedroom cottage is a cozy place for up to 6 people, and it’s just a block away from the beach.

When you step inside, you’ll notice some cool modern art on the walls which gives the place a unique feel. The living room has a sleeper sofa for extra guests. There’s also a TV here to catch up on your favorite shows.

In the bedroom, you’ll find a comfy queen bed and another TV. The bathroom has a walk-in shower which is nice and refreshing after a day outside.

The bunk room, along with the new bathroom and sitting area featuring a television, is a recent addition to the home.

The kitchen might be small, but it is mighty - having everything you need to prepare a vacation's worth of meals. There’s a regular coffee maker to brew your morning cup, a small oven with four burners, and a microwave. You can enjoy your meals at the kitchen bar with two seats or at the table with two more seats.

Outside, there’s a charcoal grill ready for some BBQ. And don’t worry about parking; there's space for three cars.

So, if you’re looking for a hip place with some neat art close to the beach, Bide-A-Wee Bungalow is the spot. Plus, with Emmons Realty managing the place, you know you’re in good hands. The home is located just 5 blocks north of the Coast Guard Station.

Great place with one caviat
Loved the ease of everything about this property. It’s very well taken care of and the rental company is super easy to work with. We will be back but will probably stay somewhere on the beach next time… or rent a golf cart to get around, as it does seem a bit far in the heat for bikes to get to pier, shopping, beach, etc.

Don’t let the pictures fool you!!
The cottage is very old and run down. It’s located down a small alley that a small car can hardly go down. Limbs sticking out that will scratch your vehicle. JUNKYARD out the living room and kitchen windows. Furniture is old and floors are very old and uneven. Bathroom Floor is nasty and broken. Shower grout and tile is molded and gross!! Water hardly comes out of the shower nozzle! Appears nice and quaint in the pictures but it’s anything but that!! You’re literally in the back yard of another house with no privacy!! And it’s not six houses from the beach. It takes a lot for me to complain but this cottage needs LOTS of work!! My advice is to spend alittle more and get something nice!!!

Short trip:)
Everything on line describes the super small house. The drain in the bathroom does back up when you shower. There is a large crack in the bathroom floor by the toilet. The furniture in the living room looks bad and worn out. The TV in the living room also did not work so we could only watch tv from the bedroom. The air conditioners were old with a very musty smell and were unclean. My husband cleaned the air vents. What is not described is all the junk around the house. Both in the carport with the run down golf cart with junk all over it and the junk that you looked at from the living room window. Truly looked like you were in the middle of a junk yard with the unkept landscape. The access to the property is between a fence and a concrete pole and 9 feet clearance is generous. Additionally to walk to the beach beyond the public access you had to walk through a marsh. Just be prepared. The lack of outdoor space and access to a hose in front of the house was a problem for us. There is one if you want to go through the junk in the carport but I was not comfortable with that.

Perfect retreat!
Being a teacher is stressful! I left the day school was dismissed for teachers. I stayed 12 nights. This was the perfect tranquil location for me to reclaim my motivation and recharge. The cottage afforded me all the necessary amenities. The beach was a short 5 minute walk. I’d definitely stay there again.

Affordable and close to the beach!
We had a great time at this cottage. It is a five minute walk to the beach, which we appreciated. The cottage was as described, other than the bed is advertised as a queen but is definitely only a double/full. It was fine for us, though. The house itself was generally very clean. The dishes/cooking stuff had been only questionably washed (food residue mostly), and there were bugs (mostly flying ants) in the house, but only what you would expect in an older house on the coast. They didn't bother us but some people may be disturbed. We appreciated having a grill to use. Bikes were available, but at the time, only one was a regular adult bicycle. The other adult bikes were a tricycle style, which we did not use. There were also beach chairs available, which was great. The driveway is tight, but the owner makes you aware of that ahead of time and it was very easy with my little car. There is a plant near the entrance that will definitely touch your car (could be cut back possibly?), just something to be aware of it you are the type of person who that may bother. We would definitely stay here again!

Pros & Cons
There are many appealing aspects to this cottage--10 minute walk to dog-friendly beach, attractive and safe neighborhood, shaded off-street parking & comfy furniture. Biggest downside for us was total lack of ventilation. Every window is painted shut and there wasn't a screen to be seen. 2 noisy air conditioners put on "fan only" were the only option for fresh air but we had to shut them off to sleep. Mostly peaceful area until weekend when we had to ask rowdy renters in next door pool to stop yelling at 1:30am.

Great location in East Beach
Small basic bungalow in great location, close to public beach access and wonderful neighborhood for walking. Otherwise the property itself is well used: chipped plates, bleached stained towels, lumpy sofa. Window AC that had a musty smell when turned on. But everything was very clean and everything worked; I can deal with the rest as this obviously is a great price for a 1-2 person rental on this end of St. Simons.

Cottage Near Beach
We enjoyed a 3 week stay near East Beach with our dog. Positives were the cottage is located in a nice, walkable neighborhood and a few blocks from the beach. As described on the site this is a clean, older, one bedroom cottage, comfortable and suitable for 2 people and our dog. Negatives were there is no yard (besides the driveway), no beach chairs, yard was not raked, small charcoal grill which wasn't clean, no lids for the pots. Owner was responsive when we had a problem with a drain and quickly fixed the issue.

Great location and price
We had read some negative comments about the driveway being difficult to maneuver. We drove our Hyundai Santa Fe SUV and had NO problem getting in and out, and there is plenty of space right in front of the apartment to turn around. We liked the fact that the cottage was secluded and quiet, yet just a few blocks from the beach. It was comfortable for the two of us with our two small dogs. Communication with the owner was EXCELLENT!! This is an older wooden cottage, and along with its age comes a bit of dampness, but that only added to the charm for us. The kitchen has been remodeled. The Queen bed was comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!! :)
