Excellent property! This host has a fully stocked home where everything you could need or want is anticipated and for pets too. Best stocked home I ever rented. Clear directions for things is provided and most lights are labeled. We could walk to the Main Street area to enjoy the shops & restaurants in minutes and walk to all our family wedding events at-the Lighthouse too. We would not hesitate to rebook when visiting family again here. Thank you!

Beautiful home and just what we needed. Super clean and well equipped on all levels. Location is a block from the Village (shops and restaurants), a block from the water, and easily walkable to the Lighthouse, putt putt, and the pier. This was our first trip to SSI and we will definitely be back and hope to stay at 119 GA St again.

We were in town for a wedding. This property is not only beautiful but the location is perfect! It was a 5 minute walk to the pier and restaurants and shops! The home was clean and well stocked with everything you could need. We had a great time and would definitely stay again if we are ever in St. Simon’s. It’s a cute little hidden gem.

This is a fantastic property. The owners have checked about every conceivable box—its turn key ready for a great stay. Location is just perfect (super quiet area but only a block off of the little town). It’s spacious and even the beds are very comfortable. I would highly recommend. (If I had to provide any constructive feedback, the leaf blowers from the neighbor were ridiculous- even on Sat morning at 7:40am. I cannot believe they don’t have an ordinance to at least protect the weekends). But all in all, it was a small inconvenience. We would definitely stay here again.
