Why Stay on East Beach:
The stretch of beach along the ocean side of St. Simons Island is known as East Beach. A quant neighborhood of single-family homes begins at the access point of the U.S. Coast Guard Station at the northern tip and ends at the southern point of Gould's Inlet by access of Bruce Drive, which runs down the center of East Beach. The Coast Guard Station houses the present home to the World War II Home Front Museum.

Guest Review

by Scott
This is a great find! The house is tucked in an upscale neighborhood that is very quiet and peaceful, but only a few minute walk to the beach. The house looked and felt very clean and unkept. We were immediately impressed as soon as we walked in. We are very happy with our stay and would not hesitate to book the same home again.

Great spot with walkable beach access and fun biking for the kids. House was comfortable and had all we needed and more. Nice yard and front porch. Managers were good communicators and responsive.

We love St Simons and the east beach neighborhood is our favorite area. This house has everything you wish for and more. We wish we could've stayed longer.

We have rented from Lighthouse several times. While not often, if we have had any minor problems they are quick to support and resolve. We loved our recent stay. The house was wonderful, very well restored and loved the master bedroom set up. And so quiet!

Guest Review

by Erika
The location is very convenient for walking to a beach access point. We did not have to drive to the beach unless we wanted to try a different location. The street was very quiet without a lot of traffic noise. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off after swimming in the ocean. The house was stocked with many dishes and pans for cooking breakfast before leaving for the day. All of the rooms were clean and comfortable while providing plenty of room for six visitors. There was parking space for several cars which made coming and going very convenient for several groups.

Guest Review

by Amanda
Not knowing the island, and where to stay, we picked this spot based on the fabulous photos and description. We were blown away by how great of an Airbnb this ended up being. The location was awesome, very close to everything! Walkable to the beach, close proximity to dining and shopping, and the homes in the surrounding area were spectacular. We enjoyed all of the details inside of the home, and the attention to making sure everything was there that would be needed for a great beach get-away! The historic touches added a sense of nostalgia to the experience and really made you feel like you were staying in a quaint yet modern-day beach cottage! The wrap around porch was awesome, the beds were comfy and there were plenty of extras that included beach towels, bath towels, and beach chairs. Would definitely stay here again! Ryan was very responsive through the whole process. Thank you for a great experience!

by Kim
I appreciated the ease and efficiency of the booking, check-in, and checkout process which allowed us to slip into vacation mode and enjoy our time. The house was also very clean and comfortable. The bed was comfortable and allowed us to get a good night's rest for a full day of fun at the beach and exploring the area.

Wonderful stay in East Beach Neighborhood

by Bernard
Tastefully decorated, easy access to the beach, relaxing porch and wonderful trees in the yard. This was such a peaceful and comfortable place for my family to spend time together just enjoying the beauty of the St Simons community.
