Big Dog–Friendly • 422 Steps to Beach • 3 Full Baths • St. Simons Island

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
If you came to St. Simons as a kid, this is the beach house you remember. Bold colors, board games missing half the pieces, a fenced backyard under the oaks. The kind of place with wet towels on every hook, knob, and half-sturdy towel bar. But this time, the Wi-Fi works. The bathrooms have been multiplied. The vanities doubled. No one’s on the floor in a sleeping bag. And the fenced backyard? It has a fire pit now.

1049 Ocean View is a single-level vacation rental on St. Simons Island. It has three bedrooms, three full baths, and a layout that spreads out. Open kitchen. Real beds. Real closets. A yard big enough to let the dog off-leash long enough to finish your drink. You can walk to the beach in under five minutes. Restaurants like Crab Trap, Fiddlers, and Barrier Island Brewing in under ten. Walk to Ocean Motion and rent a bike. Then ride off to the Pier Village. Don’t miss Palm Coast in the morning for coffee, but come back at night for live music. Want to know who’s playing tonight? Call our office—we’re probably already going to the show.

SLEEP IN ON ST. SIMONS
• Primary Bedroom – Queen bed, ensuite bath with double vanities and walk-in shower, smart TV, ceiling fan
• Guest Room #1 – Queen bed, shared full bath
• Guest Room #2 – Two twin beds, full hall bath with shower/tub combo

All on one level. No stairs, no bunk beds, no guessing which room used to be a garage. Just real bedrooms, real closets, and enough bathrooms to keep the peace.

Good Vacation Rental with Dog!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was perfect size for four, including 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Although this is an older beach house, it was immaculately clean and all necessities were provided. It’s a short walk to the beach, and we liked the fenced in yard for our dog. Would book again if traveling with dog! The beds were comfortable too.

St Simons cute house

The house is cute, in a nice locality but the walk to the ocean takes 15 minutes. And the house Checkin and checkout process is a breeze. However the bathrooms on this house definitely needs some TLC. Overall our stay was a pleasant experience.

Beautiful beach cottage!

The cottage was wonderful! The house was beautiful and one of the cleanest pet friendly places we have stayed. The yard was great for our pets. The patio was shaded by a huge oak tee which made outside dining great. We will definitely rent the cottage again.

First trip to SSI

We had the best week! SSI was a wonderful surprise to us. The house was perfect with a great location! The walk to the beach was easy and enjoyable under all the shade trees. The house was spotless and well equipped. We had no need to reach out to the host because everything was provided. We will be coming back!

Comfortable house; great location

Our family spent a few nights here before Christmas. It was a great little getaway - despite the cold, rainy weather. Restaurants were delicious and not crowded. Dogs loved romping on the beach. The house was cozy, comfortable, and well equipped. We would like to go back. Thanks!

Wanted to stay longer.

The house was charming and clean. The beds were very comfortable. The location was convenient. Easy to walk to see the sunrises and sunsets from the beach. Nice walk to the village. The only negative thing I can say is that the master bathroom shower head needs some major attention. I would stay here again.

The boys chartered a boat and had a successful fishing trip. The cottage was clean and had what we needed. The backyard was large and securely fenced for our dog.

Pretty great!

The layout and provided amentities were almost perfect. Here’s the breakdown. Pros: Located just a very short walk from Access 19. Walkable but we rented a golf-cart. Right in the middle between Pier Village and Crabdaddy area. House was “homey” and not fancy but is our preference. Kitchen had everything we needed, plenty of blankets, beds acceptably comfortable, lots of hot water, hand soap/shampoo/conditioner, dish/laundry soap provided. Hoses on front and back to spray yourself and beach stuff off. Quiet back yard and a cute front door seat to relax outside. Beach towels were provided and more than enough bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths for 4 people. Bedrooms were a great size and all bathrooms were en-suite and two had tubs. Well lit inside and out and secure entry on both doors. Not having to keep up with a key was fab! Family room was comfy and the dining room was a great size to gather around for a game of cards. Cons: For us? None. However, some may want something fancier- I love a few of those people ;) - but we didn’t mind the little quirks like the little step ups to the kitchen and master and waking through the master to get to the back door or the worn countertops. Management company was easy to work with and quick to respond when we arrived in town when I requested an earlier check in and when I was contemplating adding a day to our trip. No complaints and would gladly navigate myself back to this dot on the map.

Family vacation over New Year

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was a great house for our family of 6 and our 2 dogs. The fenced in back yard was great for our dogs. It’s a short walk to the beach and a slightly longer walk to the pier area, which has shopping and restaurants. Neighborhood was quiet and not a lot of traffic. It made for a lot of pleasant walks with the dogs. House was clean, everything worked as stated. Rental company was easy to work with when we needed to extend the stay for a few days due to poor weather and road conditions on the way home.
