Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Find the perfect oasis for a family or a small group of friends at this beautiful home in St. Simons, a gorgeous garden property that sits around the corner from the beach. Cool off from the summer sun in the private, enclosed yard, where you can relax in the small dipping pool and attached cascading pool spa. As the children play in the garden and come up with new adventures in the treehouse, the adults can prepare memorable meals in the chef's kitchen, recently renovated with new appliances, cabinets, counters, and flooring, before gathering around the fireplace for games and movies. At night, you'll also be treated to brand new mattresses on the three king beds. The primary bedroom has a Smart TV.

You'll be half a mile down the road from the St. Simons Island Lighthouse Museum, the St. Simons Pier, and all sorts of aquatic fun and miniature golf at Neptune Park. And all along Ocean Boulevard are a number of wonderful restaurants and eateries with something for every taste.

House was nice and accommodated our needs! Close to beach and great location! Watched fireworks on the 4th from beach!!
One room did have a double and single bed that sits on floor. Upstairs has AC unit only for one of the sleeping areas. Can get hot in the other sleeping area! Outside could be cleaned up more, but it was ok!
Loved the open kitchen, dining and living area!! Very spacious!

So close to the beach and an easy walk to the village. Home was clean and has lots of charm.

Secret Garden Oasis was a fabulous dog-friendly beach house in a perfect location close to everything St. Simons Island has to offer. There was plenty of space for everyone and the beds were all comfortable. We did have a slight issue with the main TV but Vacasa staff were super quick to respond and offer assistance. This is an older house with so much southern charm and the dipping pool was perfect for cooling off after the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great location, just as described! Beds were comfortable. Lots of room.

Wonderful home layout with comfy beds. Needs new living room furniture. Close to beach, but be prepared for loud neighbors. Pool is dirty from yard vegetation. Overall, needs better cleaning and some TLC.
4.0 / 5.0
Location is so close to beach! Clean with a large living room area. Kitchen is large and great for cooking!! Loved the big window that opens to pool. Hot tub and pool were amazing for a big crowd. Our only issue was hot tub and pool were cold for two days even though we paid for heat. Great vacation!
3.0 / 5.0
We easily fit 2 families into the house, great sleeping arrangements. We enjoyed the kitchen and living space, but exposed outlets, broken widow’s nest with no access (though it looked like it would have been amazing), promise of a heated pool in January but having nothing, and missing windows, tv remotes, and backyard issues (shade lining was covered in debri, playhouse covered in moss) just left us wishing we could have enjoyed what was promised to us more.

Beautiful home with enough room for the extended family. Outside is definitely an oasis!
4.0 / 5.0
Arrived after dark and house quite hard to find. Once we did enjoyed the rest of our time there. The kitchen was great for all to gather round the island to munch and chat. Dining table was also great for us to gather and play games all evening. Downfall was I paid for the spa/pool to be heated and when I emailed asking the temperature for each the email response was spa 103 degrees and pool 76. Spa was never warmer than the pool which I’m not sure was 76 degrees even before we had rain. That being said only kept the adults out of the water but the kids did enjoy. Several lights were out making some rooms very dark. The beach is literally just around a corner and several restaurants and shops within walking distance. The village less than a mile away. Fun island to visit.

Traveled with my adult son, daughter, and li'l pup. Stayed 3 nights and opted for late check out Wed. We really loved this vacation home. Lots of space with many places to sit, lounge, and relax - inside and outdoors. The front porch swing was so relaxing and the foliage in the back yard was gorgeous. Amazing fully-equipped kitchen. Refreshing pool, and enchanting decor. Yes, it's an older home, but so unique and charming. We didn't have young children with us, but I'm sure families with kiddos would enjoy the adorable bunk bed room (3 beds total) w/an ensuite tub/shower combo that adjoins another bathroom via a sliding door. All the bedrooms have their own ensuites - the other 3 have nice large showers. 3 Bedrooms & baths on the main level and one double bedroom "suite" upstairs w/its 3/4 bathroom. There are TVs in all the bedrooms and the living room. Stackable W/D in a laundry room off the entrance. The host provided a standing fan and box fan to augment the central air. Lots of large beach towels, too, for the beach that's only a block away! Great walk for the pup! Lots of delicious eateries and fun shops nearby, as well.
Soft "cons" & recommendations: Coffee maker is crap. Recommend it be replaced. Some of the outlet placements are challenging. But you should be fine if you bring a power strip or two. The kitchen lighting is very dim. The stove lights and stove griddle wouldn't turn on - don't know if that's user error or an appliance issue. The house is on a main road, and many cars tend to speed, so keep the gate closed for the safety of your small children and kiddos. But overall, excellent vacation home on St. Simons Island that we would love to stay in again!

The old house charm, bead board/wainscoat. The tiny pool. The house layout, location, and quiet.
5.0 / 5.0
Wonderful property. Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 6 kids (ages 2 thru 15). 1 block from terrific beach access. Less than ¾ miles in either direction from fantastic food/brewery/shops. We stayed Friday to Friday around Memorial Day and only wish we had booked more time. The house is older but really well organized and ridiculously clean. It could use a few minor updates, shower heads specifically. The heated hot tub/pool was perfect for our group with cooler weather still lingering. The decking, fans and lighting around the pool all need some work. But I believe the property manager is aware and trying to make improvements. We loved the property and wouldn't hesitate to spend another week there!

No response from Vacasa or Host the whole week we where there. I’ve spoken to a manger and sent pictures hoping for a refund.

House is absolutely adorable and laid out well for multiple guests. Nicely equipped and very spacious for a big crowd. My only compliant would be that it is in need of electrical updates [lights flickered when you plugged anything into any bathroom outlets] and some minor repairs. Master bath tile in toilet area is literally cracked, loose from the floor, and comes up when you stand on it, which is unavoidable to use the toilet. It actually almost cut my foot so I wore shoes every time I went in there. Master shower doesn't even fit the space. Guest bath tp holder fell off the second anyone barely touched it, same bedroom door handle almost fell off...It would have been nice to had some beach chairs and a cooler, as we flew in from Nashville and didn't have any. We spent out days at the Sea Island Beach club and for the money, I would probably just stay there next time. Other than those small things, it is an adorable house and walkable great location.

The home was clean, the beds comfortable and location was great! It was the perfect size for our group. We did have a few maintenance issues which Vacasa took care of quickly.
4.0 / 5.0
The great sides of the property are that the location is wonderful and on the quiet side of ocean Ave. The beach access is right there. The house is well laid out and very comfortable. There are great restaurants within .3 miles, and more in the village... All walkable. The hot tub and plunge pool are great.
The bad side is that it needs some TLC. Most plates and cups are chipped. Deck boards are rotten and seconds away from giving way. The fence is falling down. There are cracked and loose tiles in the bathroom. The tank cover of one of the toilets was broken and glued back together.
Not deal breakers, but the property could use some attention.
4.0 / 5.0
The house was as advertised, lots of room. The kitchen is awesome. The house is close to the beach, you can walk to the beach in a few minutes. We, as a group, 7 of us. would stay here again.
4.0 / 5.0
This home was perfect for our multigenerational family vacation, including two young toddlers. Very clean, beautifully decorated and in a convenient location to the beach and local shops/restaurants. The home could use some love/maintenance on some things like antique doorknobs and sliding doors that would stick or fall off track, but it was otherwise very well-equipped!

Quaint house-fab location
Adorable house w/coffee house vibes. If you love & are used to older, quirky houses- you will love. Very cozy. Love the decor & stained glass. Great great location! Pool heating & cleanliness(pool only) was an issue, but obviously not a problem in summer. Vacasa did the very best they could with what they had to deal with(re:pool). Would love for the owners to fix the observation deck & a few other things. Would be a fun addition to this funky, cool house. Would stay here again.

Almost perfect
Immaculate lovely home, well-furnished, great location, responsive management. The only downside is that the back of the property abuts a large hotel whose noisy air conditioners interferes with the enjoyment of the beautiful back yard, a fact not mentioned in the description.

True Oasis
We stayed here for a girl's weekend getaway. There were 6 of us adults and 4 kids. The little girls loved having a bunk room of their own, while the adults were escaping to the spa every time we got a chance! The kitchen was amazing. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Cute buts needs tending to
Overall the experience was easy and pleasant. The online pictures are very,very old because the place was not as bright as they show. The yard and house had ivy overgrown everywhere. Yard absolutely needed some tending to. I read from other vacationers back in sept of this year noting the over grown foliage and it definitely wasn’t attended to. We have pictures to prove what we are talking about. Great location a little fixing up in yard and this place would get a 5star.

Nice house, TV didn’t work and pool/spa not hot upon arrival.
Lovely little house but was disappointed with experience. Property management made a big deal of giving them 3 days in advance if I wanted the pool/spa heated so it could ready when I arrived. I told them, and paid the fee within their time restraint but the pool/spa was not turned on when I arrived. It took a day to get it to a temperature that was useable and another day to make it comfortable. No compensation was giving to me for the time lost during it being heated up.
Moreover, the TV was not working when we arrived and despite the technician coming out, they could never get it working. This was during the braves World Series quest so I ended up paying for a sling subscription so we could watch on the small bedroom tv. Again, no compensation was offered.
This is my third time filling out this form and no-one has reached out to ease my frustration.

Adorable beach house!
Our family of 6 adults just got back from an amazing vacation staying in this house. The house has so much old charm with the perfect amount of updates. The kitchen is HUGE and was well appointed for us. We loved that almost every bedroom had its own bath which were all fully stocked with plenty of towels and even some toiletries. The house is only a block from 3rd street beach access and close to everywhere we wanted to eat. The backyard lived up to the namesake and really was an oasis. Plenty of room for our doggo too! We will absolutely plan to stay here again!

The property could be so much better if the oven stove had worked, the back yard weeded and maintenance done. Upper landing with bed full of mold on walls and ceiling. Other then those items the beds were comfortable and the home usefully for our needs. Pleaae spend some time working on the maintenance items

Two family beach vacation
House was beautifully decorated and appointed and extremely clean. Great location, easy walk to the beach and shops and restaurants. Kitchen was easy to cook in and we used pool and spa more than I thought we would. The only thing I would point out is that the room with the double and two singles consists of bunk beds, including a top single that is shorter than a standard-sized single mattress and the double and other single are on the floor. It worked well for our teens/older kids and would be perfect for little kids, but adults would likely be uncomfortable there. Speaking of comfort, the mattresses and bedding were extremely comfortable (not something I would have expected in a rental).

Lots of character and great location!
We booked this home for a family vacation and really enjoyed our stay there! It was close enough to walk or ride bikes to a large part of the island and just a couple blocks to the beach. It was well appointed for our group of eight people and a baby for staying there and family dinners! House is an older island style house with lots of character. Kitchen and living/ great room area are very nicely done. Plunge pool was a nice feature. It looked like there was a hot tub but it’s all connected (you can at to have it all heated but they are not separate). We enjoyed our time there!

Beautiful spot close to the beach
Overall, we really liked staying here. The house and yard were beautiful , and we enjoyed the pool as well. Only drawback was that the internet could be spotty at times and we weren't able to access Netflix and Hulu due to needing a PIN that only the owner had and didn't feel comfortable giving out. I assume they are going to work on fixing this.
Other than that, I would highly recommend because the house was beautiful and a short walk to the beach!

Great location beautiful decor
A lovely, very comfortable and beautifully decorated home two blocks from the beach in a quiet location on the island. Great kitchen nicely equipped. Disappointed that we could not use fireplaces and while the rental company was responsive to our needs the experience was impersonal. That said we plan to return because of how much we loved the home and location

Great house
It was just my wife and I, and it was the offseason and not great weather so we didn't get to enjoy all the house offers in the hot tub and yard. However, the house is nicely appointed, plenty of towels, kitchen appliances, and in light of the weather and Covid, I loved that they had all the pay TV stations, and could access Netflix and Hulu. It is 2 blocks from a nice beach, and a short walk/ride to the pier town, and close to everything else.
