Hubbard House

Love this house so much... we have been renting this house for over 20 years. Renovations after hurricane were great... didn’t lose the charm or nostalgia.

We have been staying at Hubbard Cottage since the early 1990’s. We feel like it is our Home Away From Home. We’ve enjoyed watching how the beach changes over the years but always remains beautiful. The house is comfortable and perfectly located. The staff at Golden Isles is always pleasant and easy to work with.

Really nice, Airbnb-type house as close as you can get to East Beach! Great decks for viewing the ocean and little inlets! Beautiful sunrises. Bring what you need for the beach or rent/buy it on St. Simons. This is pretty much a pure rental house so there isn't the traditional "beach stuff" that you might find at someone's beach house (there are a couple of beach chairs); not a problem but just something to be aware of. Very comfortable inside, good internet and TV and all that.

It is wonderful venue for a family reunion on the beach.
GIR is very accommodating and responsive.

Had a great time! Been coming to SSI since 70’s! The cottage was clean & well kept .We prefer to be closer to the village but would definitely stay here again if none available closer to village.Also remember when this was very near the water. It’s a shame but can’t be controlled Also master bedroom needs springs under mattress!

We have been coming to the Hubbard Cottage since the early 1990's and consider it the best view on the beach. It is located down towards Gould's Inlet which changes the view all day long...a photographer's dream.

We had a wonderful time again at the Hubbard Cottage on East Beach.

My family has been coming to Hubbard House since about 1993 and I think we have missed only a couple of years due to illness. We just love this beach house and love our neighbors while we are there. We also think we have the best view on East Beach.

Pleasantly surprised this year as the home had been completely renovated with new paint, furniture, kitchen appliances, countertops, flooring and deck. Beautiful!

A great week at the Hubbard cottage...on the beach, walk down the street and you are in the sand. A special place.

Great location, views, cute decor, and spotlessly clean! We had a great time and appreciate the owners sharing their wonderful home with us.

Overall, the vacation rental experience was good. The location was fantastic, as you literally stepped out onto the sand. The house has recently been remodeled to include furniture that you actually don't mind sitting on, comfortable beds, new appliances, etc. Unfortunately, what did not get installed, except in the master bedroom, were ceiling fans. The house receives full sun all day, which makes the house extremely warm. With no ceiling fans to help circulate the air, the house gets very warm. It's a shame to need to keep the blinds closed to help eliminate the heat, when the views are so good. Additionally, the property management company requests that the A/C stay at 74 degrees. With direct sun, no fans, and a temp of 74...the interior of the house was somewhat uncomfortable. Outside, the decking is all new, and the walkway to the beach even has traction pads on them, which is great! However, the seating options outside are limited to include a dual Adirondack seat, and a broken picnic table that couldn't be used...we used our beach chairs as our primary seating. The landscaping around the property, and especially on the walk to the beach, needs to be trimmed/maintained. Happily, the driveway was plenty big for all the cars, and the house has 2 full sized trashcans located around back for use. Sadly, both trashcans were completely full, leaving us to pile up 3 days worth of trash, until trash day rolled around. Overall, a great vacation, but, room for improvement When you pay a significant amount of money for the rental, you want even the smallest of details to spot on.

Hubbard House is perfect! It has the best ocean view on St. Simons Island and is extremely private. The inside is beautifully furnished & decorated. My sister and I took walks each morning in the lovely tree-lined neighborhood. My husband and son took an airplane ride up the coast, which they really enjoyed. We rented kayaks and loved paddling around the inlet. Sal's Pizzeria had the best veggie pizza I have ever eaten! We also liked Iguana's (seafood) and Chili Peppers (Mexican). Do not hesitate to book this property. It is worth the price!
