Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I check in?
Entry is fully keyless. Before arrival you'll receive your own unique smart-lock code for the carport entry door and the laundry room. It activates at 4:00 PM on check-in day and deactivates at 10:00 AM on check-out day. No key pickup, no waiting.
How close is the beach, really?
One short block. Cross the street, walk through the park, and the beach entrance is right there. On quiet mornings you can hear the ocean from the front porch.
How many people can stay?
The cottage sleeps up to 8: a king in the master, two fulls + two twins in the second bedroom, and a queen in the third. Every mattress is pillow-top memory foam.
Is there parking?
Yes — a covered carport plus room for up to six vehicles. Please don't park on the lawn (Jekyll Island Authority rule). Note the island collects a $10/day parking pass per vehicle at the entrance gate.
Are pets allowed?
Please contact us before booking if you'd like to bring a pet — we'll do our best to accommodate.
Is the WiFi good enough to work remotely?
Yes — Xfinity high-speed internet at 415 Mbps, plus a dedicated workspace in the master suite. Guests regularly work full days from the cottage.
How do payments work?
Checkout is processed by Stripe — the same payment platform used by Amazon and Shopify. We never see or store your card number. Depending on how far out your stay is, you can pay in full or reserve with a deposit and pay the balance before arrival.
What's your cancellation policy?
Full refund if you cancel 30+ days before check-in; 50% refund 14–29 days before; no refund within 14 days. Full details on the cancellation policy page.
Is the backyard really fenced?
Completely — a new privacy fence encloses the whole backyard, with two hammocks, a picnic table, gas grill, and a fire ring that seats eight under the live oaks.
Do you provide linens and towels?
Yes, all beds are made with fresh linens and bath towels are provided. Bring your own beach towels and chairs — or ask us about what's in the house.
