Dog Friendly • Walk to BBQ & Tacos • St. Simons Vacation Rental

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Welcome to 116 Circle Drive—a two-bedroom St. Simons vacation rental tucked just off Frederica Road in the heart of the island. With a fully fenced yard, dog-friendly policy, vaulted outdoor living space, and walkability to some of the South’s best shrimp and grits, this is the kind of beach rental that feels local and from scratch.

Redfern Village is right across the street—literally. Walk 0.2 miles (about 4 minutes) to Southern Soul BBQ, featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, or grab a 9-minute stroll (0.4 miles) down the sidewalk to Bubba Garcia’s for tacos and live music under the lights. Dulce Dough is 0.3 miles away for warm-from-the-oven cinnamon rolls, and the fanciest Winn-Dixie on the coast (yes, really) is just 0.5 miles from your door.

Inside, the vibe is easygoing and intentionally simple—leather sofas, shiplap walls, white oak floors. A chalkboard greets you at the entryway—perfect for kids, welcome messages, or doodles after one too many mimosas. The kitchen’s fully equipped, the layout flows, and there’s a stacked washer/dryer just inside the back door for sandy swimsuits or seafood surgery gone sideways.

You're 1.6 miles from the Coast Guard Station beach (a 6-minute drive or breezy bike ride), and less than 10 minutes from the Pier Village, St. Simons Lighthouse, and Ocean Motion bike rentals.

Loved it. The outside area was amazing for our pup. Outside shower and could complete enclose the back deck area if you want to. Great location. 5 minute drive to the beach and pier market village. Redfern Village was basically across the street. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time at St Simons and loved the cottage. It was close to everything and the fenced yard was perfect for our pup!

The hose is cozy, but was just right for my husband and I. Our favorite spot was the back porch, and we spent alot of our evenings there. It was nice to have curtains to enclose the porch during those chilly nights too. We enjoyed our stay.

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: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is adorable and quaint. The massive back porch and screened-in front porch allowed us to enjoy the weather outside as well. The fully fenced yard gave us peace-of-mind with our dog, and the close proximity to the park, made this the perfect pet-friendly place. We loved the outdoor shower! We only used one of the beds, but it was so comfortable. Looking forward to getting one for our own home now.

Clean property with fenced in backyard great for dogs. The outside attached gazebo/porch in the back is a fantastic extension of the house. Best part was the outdoor shower. The location is a short walk from Redfern village.

We loved this house. The outdoor living space was awesome. That was what drew me to the property but my husband was skeptical; then we got there and he LOVED it. The kitchen was perfectly appointed with the right tools and appliances but was simple to navigate. The enclosed front porch was a beautiful space to sit. The outdoor shower was heavenly. We LOVED this house. We brought our dogs and it was perfect for them too.

Very clean, nicely remodeled and well stocked kitchen if cooking is preferred to eating out all meals. Pet friendly perfection in the backyard- totally fenced and you do not have to worry. Location is amazing to great restaurants- grocery store- beaches & Starbucks!!! Can’t wait to go in the summer!!!

Very clean home with comfortable beds. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard. The airport is very close but flights usually end around 8pm. The East beach is about 1.2 miles away with free parking. The staff was very quick to respond. Safe neighborhood. Definitely would stay again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is like an efficiency, very small. The living room had comfortable seating. Crammed into the small room was a small dining room table.The kitchen was small and not well supplied. Nothing matched. The silverware was limited. Not stocked for cooking.The outdoor seating had two comfortable chairs, unmatched.I think the owner stocked/furnished the entire house from yard sales.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Interior of the home is quite comfortable, but only has the very basic supplies. Outside garden is rather overgrown and could use some attention, but the rear porch is a private, relaxing, and comfortable outdoor oasis. Lastly, the management company is super easy to communicate with and very attentive to anything you need. They are fantaastic!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the moment we arrived at 116 Circle Drive, we knew we had found a gem on St. Simons Island. Emmons Realty has truly outdone themselves with this delightful two-bedroom vacation rental. It felt like our very own slice of paradise, a genuine home-away-from-home.Being dog-friendly was a significant plus for us, and our furry friend enjoyed the fully fenced garden as much as we did. The vibrant plant life added a touch of serenity to our mornings, and the two patios became our favorite spots to unwind. The screened patio was a sanctuary for morning coffee sessions, thanks to the Keurig coffee maker provided. And after our beach adventures, the outdoor shower was a luxurious touch that we truly appreciated.Speaking of the beach, its proximity was just perfect. A short car or bike ride away, we found ourselves soaking in the sun and waves in no time.Thank you, Emmons Realty, for curating such a wonderful escape for travelers like us. We’ll be back!
