    After a sun-soaked afternoon at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower, then gather downstairs in the den and playroom for movie night or a few rounds of cards.

    The Turtle’s Nest is located in a peaceful neighborhood - The Turtle’s Nest offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. You’ll be just blocks from local restaurants, boutique shops, and island activities. Take a short stroll (just over half a mile) to the St. Simons Lighthouse Museum, Neptune Park, and St. Simons Pier, where ocean breezes, coastal views, and island charm await!

    We're located mid-beach - halfway between the St Simons Pier Village and East Beach. This stretch of beach is not tide dependent and has plenty of walking distance in both directions. We're walking distance to local restaurant favorites like Crab Daddy's, Barrier Island Brewing, Fiddlers, and Porch.

Beautiful, well-appointed property in a wonderful location! A five minute walk to the beach and quick stroll into town! The perfect house for a larger family gathering. Well stocked with beach essentials and the property management company is excellent. We will definitely rent this property (or other Lighthouse properties) again!
