Walk to Beach • Tree Spirits, Red Snapper & Starry Skies of St. Simons

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Welcome to 520 College Street—a classic St. Simons vacation rental on a corner lot just 0.1 miles from the 3rd Street beach access and a 15-minute, shady walk to Pier Village. The fenced yard, screened porch, and palm-dotted lawn set the tone before you even get inside.

This is the kind of beach rental where you leave the car in park. Rent bikes from Ocean Motion (10 minutes by foot), walk to Crab Daddy’s (12 minutes) for red snapper and a world-class baked potato—we have the recipe, but we’ve been sworn to secrecy—and spend the afternoon tracking down the mystical tree spirits of St. Simons. Can’t find one? Call our office—we’ll give you a hint, or a map if you’d rather earn it.

At night, take your coffee or cocktail down to Gould’s Inlet and look up. The stars out there don’t care what day it is—and neither will you by the time you head home.

SLEEP IN ON ST. SIMONS
• Main-floor queen suite with ceiling fan, smart TV, en suite bath, and private corner of the house
• Two upstairs king bedrooms, each with soft light, smart TVs, and the kind of stillness you usually have to leave the country to find
• One upstairs twin bedroom with matching beds, hallway access, and coastal accents made for kids or guests who don’t share a blanket
• Three full bathrooms total—two upstairs, one en suite down, all with real charm and great light

ST. SIMONS OUTDOOR LIVING
• Screened front porch with tropical views
• Fully fenced yard with a sunny lawn and room to roam
• Private driveway and easy street access
• 0.1 mi to nearest beach–3rd Street beach

Perfect location, near the beach, not far from the city center's dining. Easy to play games or sit on the porch and visit. Good kitchen to fix our own meals.

Perfect property for us!

The property on College St. was perfect! The house was cuter in person than it was in pics! It was clean, beautifully decorated, and had an adorable layout. We also really enjoyed the grill and the fenced-in yard. We would definitely stay here again…HAPPILY!

Beautiful Cottage with Walk to Beach Access

The house is well decorated, comfortable and great for a small group like ours. It was rainy for a good portion of our stay, but the house was so cozy we all just sunk in to enjoy it.

Location, Location, Location!

The cottage was a few blocks from the beach, an easy walk for 18-80 year-olds. We loved cooking in the kitchen. Plenty of space for the 7 of us to be together and find privacy. Our corner of south beach was never overcrowded. Food and light shopping was less 0.4-0.7 miles away walking. We loved our stay.

Awesome Home Better Location

We stayed just four of us in our family (2 adults 2 kids) and the house was everything we needed. It was also more than suitable for another family of four. The location with young kids could not be better, less than a five minute walk to the southern edge of East Beach which is much less populated and more family friendly than the rest. Quick drive into town or out to the north end of east beach which is also beautiful.
