Steps to the Village | Chic Cottage with Beach Gear Credit

Experience the perfect blend of designer style and low-stress living at Mary's Porch, a newly listed retreat in the heart of Saint Simons Island. While this home has a storied place in the neighborhood, it has been reimagined for the modern traveler, offering an "Instagram-ready" aesthetic that perfectly captures the island's effortless coastal vibe. Whether you're planning a multi-generational family vacation, a getaway with friends, or just some time alone, this home is designed for those who appreciate both comfort and convenience.
The interior flows beautifully with an open-concept layout, featuring two distinct seating arrangements that allow your group to spread out without feeling disconnected. The massive, fully-equipped kitchen serves as the heart of the home, complete with modern appliances and a spacious breakfast bar—ideal for a quick morning latte before hitting the beach or an elaborate seafood dinner after a day of exploring. Its wrap around porch (part screened in and part open) invites you for a long read, relaxing on its porch swing, or coffee and conversation.
Rest and privacy are prioritized across the five spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The layout is thoughtfully split, with two serene bedrooms on the main floor (a king and a queen), two additional retreats upstairs (a king and a queen with an additional pull-out sofa bed), and a children's room with a twin bunk bed. To ensure everyone can unwind on their own terms, four of the bedrooms are equipped with Smart TVs, making it easy to catch up on your favorite shows after a day in the sun.
When you aren't out exploring, the gathering areas provide plenty of entertainment for the kids and the "kids at heart” with a mini game table with foosball, hockey, mini-billiards and ping-pong ready for some friendly competition. In the side yard you can sit on a separate deck, enjoy corn hole, and BBQ. For those who prefer to be even more active outdoors, toss a frisbee in the park or enjoy the tennis and pickleball courts at Mallery Park just steps away.
The greatest luxury of Mary's Porch is its unbeatable proximity to the best of the island. You can leave the car keys behind, as the boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants of Pier Village are just a 0.4-mile stroll away. The Lighthouse, public pool, mini-golf, and numerous special events in the Village are even closer. When the ocean calls, you are a short walk to Village area beach access and only a 4-minute drive from the King & Prince beach and five minutes from the iconic East Beach and Coast Guard Station.
For those who enjoy history, you'll delight in knowing that Mary's Porch sits on the property where once stood a little island house whose screened in porch hosted long evenings of story-telling for local residents. The moths that gathered round the porch light inspired an international story telling movement called "The Moth," known by many through “The Moth Story Hour” on NPR and other outlets. Bricks from that old house, and its front door, welcome you to the porch today.
Pets / Parking: This property is pet friendly by inquiry ONLY. There is parking space for 5 cars.
