About this house rental
St. Simons Happy Place
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Discover the light-filled island charm of this recently redecorated, family-friendly St. Simons Island retreat, offering a screened porch, a fenced backyard, and a perfect location close to shops, restaurants, and gorgeous beaches. It's an ideal escape for anyone interested in biking, beachcombing, touring historical attractions, or shrimping on the Lady Jane.
The fresh, air-conditioned interior - which offers 1,774 square feet of living space outfitted with brand new furnishings and appliances - was tailor-made for families, beach-goers, corporate retreats, and extended getaways. Grab the provided baby toys, towels, cooler, and beach chairs on your way out the door, and spend the afternoon swimming off the shores of East Beach. When you return, throw your bathing suits and towels in the washer/dryer, and pile on the sectional sofa to watch the Georgia-Florida game on the 55-inch Smart TV (with cable service and Netflix capability). As the parents and grandparents sip cold drinks on the screened back porch, the kids can play tag in the fenced yard, set up a board game, or walk down the street for a game of tennis. There is a new office area to the main bedroom with a desk, chair, and lamp. It's the perfect laptop-friendly space! Additional amenities include a 32-inch smart TV in the kids' room/bunk bedroom.
What's nearby:
This darling, two-level home sits in a quiet neighborhood north of Redfern Village, close to Kings Beach and a short stroll from boutique shops, spas, restaurants, and public tennis courts. You'll be only three miles west of Sea Island, four miles north of East Beach, and five miles north of Neptune Park and the St. Simons Island Lighthouse Museum. With blissfully mild temperatures in the height of winter, it's always a good time to take a leisurely bike ride to Fort Frederica National Monument three miles north or go crabbing as a family on the St. Simons Pier. Join an eco-tour to catch a glimpse of the local dolphins, book a guided kayaking excursion on the island backwaters, or head south to marvel at the natural beauty of Cumberland Island National Seashore.

Wonferful. House is comfortable & lovelyn. Everyone loved the bedrooms! Night on backporch was a hoot. Games on the table was family time..Hows was clean. Nick picking- cleaning crew missed cleaning the the kitchen garbage & rugs needed stick tape. Let owner know so they are aware. We will go back.

Great place to stay if you don’t want a place directly on the beach. Reasonably priced and close to all beaches.
Only problem we had was parking which only accommodates 2 cars but sleeps 10. Not to many families of 10 that would come together in just 2 cars.

We were very reluctant to stay here as no one had done a review prior to. Maybe because they didn't have anything nice to say, but I can only speak for my fiancé and I.
We enjoy sitting out back on a patio when we stay at vacation rentals. THIS ONE.... gross. Everything was covered in Mold. There appeared to have been absolutely NO UPKEEP on the landscaping. The interior of the home is EXTREMELY dated, but appeared pretty clean. Carpet is in desperate need of replacement. Neighborhood is gorgeous, but THIS house sticks out like a sore thumb, sad to say it but we are Georgians(from North Ga) , but we just moved to the GA coast a couple of years ago. This was our first visit to St Simon's and it's a beautiful ISLAND! We enjoyed visiting and will DEFINITELY be back!! However unfortunately we won't be staying here again. Hopefully owner will make some upgrades and clean up the outside. The home has GREAT potential, but it's going to take a significant amount of elbow grease in the yard and a strong desire to make it better and do some upgrades, in order to get better reviews in the future. It could really be a beautiful home if owner takes the time to improve it. As I said it'
s got Great potential!! Location is AWESOME

Our stay here was great! Nice location, easy check-in and check-out process, and clean and spacious home. Thanks for a great visit!

Friendly, warm feeling in the home. Lots of space for everyone, lots of thoughtful touches for all ages, including beach items, games, and books. Definitely family-friendly. Close to many attractions. We had a great stay.

We started this stay with trepidation since we've stayed at homes managed by Vacasa and swore we would never do it again. However, the local manager for Vacasa was great & responsive, we needed her! Within 24 hours, there was something wrong with the hot water, as our showers had to be under 3 minutes. The handyman came and turned the hot water temp up, but it was still a problem. There was no way 4 people could take a shower and go out to dinner in the same night. Other issues - master bath fan out, one MB sink sprayed water all over (fixed). We tightened screws on the sliding doors, but still screws missing and the screens were ripped. Master bedroom closet door issue. In the other bathroom, (BTW it is a 2 1/2 bath home) the hot and cold water were switched. Refrigertor is in bad shape - missing door shelf holders, rendering many shelves useless. Serveral of the rugs are curled up at the edges - tripping hazard. The major issue - the neighborhood was doing work on their water/sewer lines and one day when we came home we had no water at all. It was resolved within a couple of hours, however, we only found out that we had to boil all the water for 24 hours from a neighbor. You would think that Vacasa or the owners would have let us know. When we go on vacation, we like to do what we want to - not get tired out from dealing with a house. Will not be back.

House was very clean upon arrival and it’s suited our needs. No major complaints. When compared to a recent stay via VRBO in same city, it wasn’t as ideal — 1) sink and shower upstairs wouldn’t drain properly. Ended up making it dirty quickly. 2) we had to pay an extra $33 to check out at 2:00. All other VRBO had the later check outs granted free as a courtesy whenever it was available. 3) wouldn’t allow us to lower the thermostat below 70. If it were in the summer, this would be uncomfortable- we managed since it was a bit cooler this time of year. 4) this is clearly manged via another 3rd party service…not the owner. Only issue with this is a bit confusing to communicate as separate notifications, websites, etc used in addition to standard VRBO app/website. 5) Very limited parking that we were not aware of in advance. Requires really creative methods with 3 cars. Overall still a good weekend.

We came with a group of 7 of us (4 adults, 3 kids) and it was the perfect size and location for us. We would definitely stay again if we’re back in the area!

Loved this home! We stayed two weeks and explored the area. So much to see and do here, and the Low Country is beautiful. The house was located in a friendly, pretty, walkable neighborhood. The house itself was very spacious and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay. However the sewage for the house is stinky and the outside sewer is not covered very well at all and is located right beyond the driveway. The back porch is cute but smells like stale smoke so we couldn’t sit out there. Back yard could use some landscaping.

This house was great for a multi family vacation! The bunk room was great for the kids and the Master bedroom could have easily fit a pack n play or 2.
The kitchen was well-stocked and even had several extras that came in handy to get us through most of the week (coffee filters, dish washer detergent, laundry detergent). The back porch and backyard was small but offered a nice place to get away or for the kids to play games. The house is close to several good restaurants and golf courses. The drive to the beach and pier wasn’t bad at all.

The house worked great for our family which included our kids and grandkids. We loved how toddler friendly it was with two pack n Plays and two high chairs! Thank you!

We really enjoyed our week in St. Simons at this property. We have a large family, with a wide age range of kids, and found this home very amenable. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The screen porch in the back is a nice feature, and we liked the nook with the desk and also the half bath in the master bedroom. We had plenty of sleeping space, and the air mattress was a great addition in the bunk bed room for our littlest one. It was so convenient to the grocery store, and an easy drive to the beach. We would love to come back again!

We had a good experience with this property. When we got there, the showers curtains needed to be replaced and a toilet tissue holder needed to be fixed. I texted the property management and they had someone there the next day. No issues after that. Everything was comfortable, great location. We would definitely stay here again.

The property is in a great neighborhood, big live oaks with Spanish moss. The house itself is well designed and laid out. The kitchen dining and living room are open and well arranged for group conversation etc,, The upstairs 3 bedrooms are nice, Lots of sleeping spots with two bunk beds in one room, a king and a queen in the other two. there is a good screened-in porch on the back.
I own a VACASA rental in Oregon, and I am going to suggest some things that could make this property even better. The queen bed upstairs squeeks and makes noise. It could use a replacement. We were disappointed that there were no filters for the coffee maker. We cut paper towels and made do, but it would be nice if the unit was supplied with some. The cooking utensils were very minimal, they could use an upgrade. In our Oregon house we have a couple of charging stations so you can easily plug in all your phones and devices for charging. The internet was out when we arrived, but it was not the houses fault and VACASA personnel were very responsive.
