Great Location

We loved being able to walk to nearby restaurants & the brewery, as well as the beach and King & Prince. It's a short drive south to the pier and north to Redfern Village areas (more restaurants). The owner was very responsive and helpful. Would stay there again!

Great location, ideal space

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was great (maybe 8 min walk to the beach) around good food and shops. The place was the perfect size for our family (2 adults, 1 kid).

We rented one side of this duplex and my hs bff who missed our senior beach trip and her family rented the other side so we could have our spring break 20 years later. It was the perfect set up for our party of 7 and we enjoyed sharing space and hanging out all together but separately. It was just

Cute place and great location

We love st. Simmons and this little house did t disappoint. The house was nice and clean. Well setup and nicely decorated. It is on a main road but we were pleasantly surprised that in the house you couldn’t hear the traffic at all! Will definitely stay again.

Perfect for first visit to St Simons

This unit was very nice for our first trip to St Simons. It is close to the beach as noted in the description and also walking distance to multiple restaurants (Fiddlers was our favorite). We had a short stay (3 nights), but this unit would work well for a longer stay. Unit was clean and well equipped. The owner went above and beyond when she shipped an item we left behind to us (we reimbursed the cost). This was much appreciated!
