Beachview House: Beachview House was built in 1892 on Cumberland Island as three cottages. In 1923, it was floated down the Atlantic and reassembled in its present location as one cottage on St. Simons Island (back then it was called the Gramling Cottage, after the family who lived there in the 1920's). By the time the cottage started to be restored, it was so overgrown, that many folks didn't even know there was a building on the property. The house retains much of its historic charm; original hardwood flooring, great bead board walls and even the original claw foot tub! It is furnished with many comfortable antiques and high quality upholstery, but it is designed to be a place to put your feet up and relax to the pace of life that is St. Simons Island.

The Beachview House is located in the village/pier area and close to Neptune Park, great shopping, restaurants, the lighthouse, the theater, library and festival grounds. The Beachview House is within a half block of the water and you have ocean views from the porch and living room.

Pet Amenities Monogrammed dog dishes provided for your use during your stay. Doggie walk bags. Fully fenced-in yard. Outside shower and foot wash. Doggie linens to use over furniture.

St. Simons is a very Fido-friendly place. There are lots of walking and bike paths under the canopy of ancient live oak trees. Fido can play fetch in the fenced-in yard and the parks and the beach are within walking distance.

Check when festivals are happening such as the Sunshine Festival, antiques shows, Arts and Crafts Festival, the Sea Island Festival, or any of the other festivals help in Neptune Park. Beachview House is literally across the street from the festival area.
