Pet Friendly • Exceptional Pool • Walk to Pier Village, Ocean, & Restaurants
YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME This St. Simons vacation rental is what happens when someone overdoes it—the right way. Courtyard Villas E-5 has been taken apart, rebuilt, and reloaded with everything we’d ever want in a beach rental: Casper mattresses, a jetted tub with bidet, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and gigantic smart TVs in every room. Apparently, moderation isn’t our thing. The plan was to live here, obviously… but then we adopted two really big dogs. In moderation.
The layout is open and social. The kitchen peers straight across the dining table into the living room, so you can enlist the whole crew to help prep dinner. They can peel shrimp—even if they “have” to see the football game. There’s even an acoustic guitar—for that one friend confident enough to play Wonderwall.
Outside, the private patio is oversized for a condo—room for lounging, late-night storytelling, and letting the dog taste some freedom. Great muscadines out back—sweet Southern grapes you either haven’t tried or remember well—but don’t blame me if your mother told you not to eat things you found on the ground. And the grill? It’s a sleeper hit. Nothing fancy—just hot in the way real grillers notice.
Just steps from your front door, the Courtyard Villas pool gets full sun and stays warm from spring through fall.
You’re less than a mile from the King and Prince beach access, and even closer to Pier Village—where the Wild Georgia shrimp is fresh, St. Simons Sweets smells like childhood, and Murphy’s Tavern still plays bands loud enough to rattle your fillings and make the wood paneling hum. Drinks are dirt cheap, but bring cash—the credit card minimum is twenty bucks, and you're definitely not spending that much unless you're buying for the band.

I planned a quick trip with my daughter to getaway for the weekend and we were very happy with our stay! The condo was a perfect size for us. We brought our dog and I loved that it had a little area in the backyard for her to go outside. It was only an 4 minute drive from the pier, beach and all the shops. The mattress on one of the beds was really hard so we slept in the twin bed room and those were great! Overall it was a nice stay for the price! I’ve already recommended it to a friend!
Mattress was missing from the sofa bed so the cushions sank in when you sat on the sofa. Kind of a pain since that sofa faces the tv.

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was comfortable, the location was good and easy to navigate. Very close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. The only negative thing I could say doesn't reflect on the owners or management, but was a personal preference. The bed in the main bedroom was not comfortable. If you have a bad back and need a firmer mattress, it's a very rough sleep for the time there.

Thank you for your feedback!
We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay and found the location convenient with easy access to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. We're sorry to hear that the mattress in the main bedroom didn't meet your personal preference for firmness. We use Casper beds for their general comfort and quality, but we understand that mattress comfort is subjective and varies from person to person.

Just okay.
I’d say our stay here was just okay. Check-in and check-out were easy, and the text updates were helpful. However, while the listing highlights renovations, it feels like those updates were done quite a while ago.There were visible signs of wear—some expected, but others really need attention. The front door handle wasn’t secure or level, which didn’t feel safe, and the keypad had visibly worn numbers, making the entry code easy to guess. Inside, several door handles were loose or ill-fitting, paint touch-ups were needed throughout, and the carpet—especially on the stairs—was stained and felt dirty. The upstairs bathroom floor had a sticky residue, the shower curtain rod was rusty, return air vents were dusty, and the downstairs bathroom fan didn’t work. Light and fan switches throughout were also confusing.On the positive side, the water pressure was good, the location was convenient to the beach and local activities, and the beds were comfortable. But overall, we weren’t very pleased with the rental and, unfortunately, wouldn’t stay here again.
