Down the hall from the entry and along side the tabby wall of the original home you enter into the grand addition of the home. Once here you are welcomed into the family room with a large screen TV, open kitchen and dining room. Off the kitchen and family room is a separate laundry room and a half bathroom. From most vantage points of these rooms are magnificent views of the pool and courtyard. The pool has an overflow fountain and there is a shady spot underneath a grand live oak tree.

At the top of the stairs is a bunk room to the left with 4 singles and a TV. To the right is a shared bathroom for the bunk room and adjoining queen bedroom with TV.

Saint Simons Spring Break

The house was very spacious with comfortable bedding. The pool was just right and the heat worked well. We brought our dogs and one thing we would have liked was a fully fenced yard. The kitchen was big, well stocked, with all the necessities.

Excellent Property!

This is a such great rental property in St. Simons that we have booked it for a second year in a row. We rent the house for a business trip for a conference and each colleague has plenty of space and privacy. Location is great for a walk to the beach, house is beautiful and clean, and the kitchen/dining area is nice and open. The management company is responsive and easy to work with on any issue. Highly recommend!
