This is an absolutely great property! Beautiful home, very clean, great location to walk or bike ride anywhere in town, and just stunning neighborhood. There were six of us adults that stayed here and it was so comfortable. We all fell in love with Saint Simons Island & would certainly stay at this property again.

Wonderful!

Our family enjoyed our 2-week stay at this beautiful home. The location was a quick 2-3 minute walk to the beach, which was essentially a private beach with maybe a couple of families there at most. We enjoyed an easy walk to the Pier Village for ice cream and shopping. And, the backyard pool was great! I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone planning a vacation to SSI!
