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.

It was a gorgeous home and a beautiful location! A nice sandy walk down a beach path to get us to the ocean! Plenty of space to accommodate two couples very comfortably with families and children. There is a very nice sized pool with dining and porch area overlooking Flora and Fana.?? ??

Classic

by Jocelyn
We had a lovely stay at this classic beach house on St. Simon’s island. It has a very homey feel, was very close to the beach and to the amenities on the island. Would stay here again.

Perfect

by Hannah
We booked this house for a family trip with our dog. We all loved it. Its location to the beach was perfect for walks in the morning or afternoon. Everyone enjoyed it!

Great family vacation

by Amie
The house was very well appointed for a large multifamily vacation. The location was very close to the beach entrance and part of the walk is shaded. We all had plenty of space in the house.

Family vacation

Home was more attractive than photos suggested. Roomy. Good pool. Hosted and well accommodated our family of ten with 4 boys ages 18 mo to 8 yo.

Great stay!

by Rhiannon
We've been coming to SSI for a few years, and this was our favorite property. It's family-friendly, with great gathering space and a lovely backyard pool. It's as close to the beach as you'll get on this part of SSI.

Guest Review

by Elaine
We had the best time with our family of 11. My grands said "let's come back to this house so we can go to the beach & find ghost crabs"

Family Yearly Vacation

by Elaine
This is a perfect place to stay. The close walk to the beach was great. Having the pool made it nice for those who couldn't go to the beach. Loved having coffee on the porch every morning. Would love to stay here next year if available.

Guest Review

by Connie
So great for families! Plenty of space to spread out and beautifully decorated. Great proximity to the beach is always a bonus and so many beach needs were already there for us

Guest Review

by Leigh
The house is lovely and exactly as described. It's conveniently located across from the beach access path. It's a short drive to restaurants, shopping, and the grocery store. It's well stocked and the amenities are as listed. We absolutely loved our stay. Ryan was helpful with instructions and responsive to any questions. We would love to stay here again.

Guest Review

by Selena
My family and I traveled to St. Simon's for a short getaway just after Memorial Day weekend. We were lucky to happen upon this gem of a home. The home was well appointed and well furnished. We didn't use the kitchen much but it seemed to have most of what you would need when preparing any meal. The beds and linens were comfortable and there were lots of sleeping options for my children. Having two king bedrooms on the lower level and six beds upstairs made the home great for 2-3 families. The pool was private and the porches were serene. We loved out daily walks and runs on the beach. The dramatic changing of tides was the most entertaining for our children. We hope to visit again in the future and appreciate the opportunity to stay here. Thank you to our great host for making our booking and stay smooth.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay! The house is was exactly as described - just beautifully appointed and so comfortable. The location was amazing with just a short walk to the beach and close to everything. We felt so at home! We also made great friends with the neighborhood kitty, Rosy, who would visit us in the porch every day - my kids loved her! Will definitely stay here again.

5 Stars!!

by Wendy

We had a girls trip weekend and loved our house and the location. This house is perfect for families and for those with kids. The pool and fenced in yard was great! You can't go wrong with this home!
