Featured in Coastal Living Magazine: 'Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, this six-bedroom rental blends historic charm and modern amenities. While brick floors downstairs recall the home's former function, a 52-foot veranda upstairs encourages today's guests to stay awhile..... [the owner] tastefully furnished the carriage house so that guests feel pampered....The rental's prime location puts it within walking distance of the village, fishing pier, St. Simons Island Lighthouse, and beach.'

From our Guestbook: This is our second year to vacation here [and] What another wonderful time we had...Our grandchildren (and even adults) had wonderful times in the pool with all the pool toys. Our son from Atlanta brought 2 kayaks and they were a hit this year! We just love the spacious rooms, walking to the beach and village, seeing the places we saw last year as well as new ones. We especially like all of us having our last meal together on Saturday morning n the village -- then we are off back to work and normal routine of carpooling, etc. We will wait patiently for our return trip next year! (Family from Birmingham and Atlanta).

(We) enjoyed a great family get together. The location was great....What a nice time for cousins, aunts & uncles, & two new third generation little ones. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home. The spacious living room/dining & games area gave us great accommodations. We fell in live with the Golden Isl. (Family gathered from FL, TN, AL, GA and Nebraska).

From our Guestbook: We loved the house. It was perfect for our family reunion. After a rough beginning (Tropical Storm Faye) -- we were pleasantly surprised with a great weather week. The pool was awesome! The children and adults loved swimming in it morning, noon and night. We found all sorts of wildlife on the beach. Walking into town, shopping and miniature golf were great. We loved the pumpkin bread at Barbara Jeans. The little kids table worked out well as we ate lunch & dinner outside by the pool. Thanks for sharing your home! (Three generations from Boston)

The Ladies from St. Marys, Stuart, Florida had a long weekend of wellness & fun! This home suited our needs and held 10 of us beautifully.
Thank you. (Elementary School chums 60+ years later)

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had adults from three different generations and there was something for everyone. Great location, very comfortable, many different seating/ gathering options, and a well-appointed kitchen that had everything we needed for a number of meals around the table. Just lovely!

Great house! Great host! Communication was awesome! Our only complaint was the Georgia beach in general is muddy, due to the marsh, which I didn't know, so that's my fault. The beach that was the closest was short or nonexistent except at LOW tide and that was a bummer. Absolutely loved the pool. Can't think of anything we couldn't find all week like kitchenware, etc. great stay!

Everyone in our extended family raved about this property. Owner Patty was exceedingly helpful and personable from the moment we booked, months in advance of our December stay, and provided an extensive and accurate description of the house and furnishings. Although the weather during our stay was a bit cooler than anticipated (50's and lower 60's), the heated pool was used 3 out of 4 days by all 7 grandchildren--who range from 8 to 15--and afforded much delight. The proximity to the beach, fishing pier, restaurants, and lighthouse, also provided a variety of activities close to "home." We recommend this property without reservation!

So glad we chose this property for our extended family. Plenty of room for everyone and spread out for lots of privacy if wanted. The pool was clean and the perfect temperature. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony and patio in the mornings and such a short walk to the shops and restaurants and pier. Would definitely stay there again.

The house is in a great location and has a lot of history. There was plenty of beds for everyone. The backyard/pool area is a wonderful area to sit and relax. The kitchen was a little small but we made it work. The main living area could use a larger TV but overall, it was a great stay!!
