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)

Wonderful and attentive host. The property is in a fantastic location, perfect walking distance to the village. The gated parking is ideal. The pool and patio is the gem of this property, it is where we spent the majority of our stay. The showers needed some attention (the claw foot tubs on the third floor had a hole cut in the curtain for the shower head and they didn't close all the way)and the changing company may need to be given a call since there was a layer of dust on all light fixtures and fans.

Beautiful, historic home with amazing accessibility to all St. Simons has to offer. We walked to the weekend market, enjoyed the pool and terrace, rode bicycles and made memories. Patty and Susan made for a very hospitable stay- we had our annual family holiday at the Carriage Strachan house and were so blessed by it. Absolutely beautiful location.

We had 14 family members meeting in St Simon for a family reunion and this place was wonderful. The home has such old world charm and is decorated with such a warm style that you immediately begin relaxing the moment you walk into the place. And the location is ideal - it is just a minute walk from the beach and a 3 minute walk from the main street of the village or a 5 minute drive from a grocery store among other businesses. The place was perfect for our large group - there was common areas for us all to relax by the pool, eat or play games together while also having enough space for individuals or smaller groups seeing solace to read or have a conversation.

Just Right!

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!

Truly Unique Home is a Great Location

Staying at this property is truly a unique experience. The place has an historical feel and the secluded pool area enabled us to gather and visit with family from 7am first coffee to the last cocktail of the night. The location is close to the pier and close to the water. We are already planning our next visit to the area and this house!

Southern Hospitality at its finest!

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.

Close to beach & downtown which the kids loved. Rented a golf cart that added to the fun. Patti was quick to respond when we called about the pool crew missing the Tuesday cleaning. We rent a summer home every two years & this was one of our favorite.

New Years in St Simons

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!!

Family Gathering

This is a great place to stay with a large group. We had our family gather after 3 years and were busy the whole time. The house is in a great location. We could walk to the village and to the pier. We usually did the beach in the morning and then after nap time, we would use the pool. Also went to some great restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Patty Deveau

Host profile image
Midwest native came to Georgia 40+ years ago to develop visitor programs and museums at 54 state parks and historic sites. Stayed for the history, the nature, and yes, much much better weather.

Why they chose this property

Unique historic property close to the village lighthouse, fishing pier, restaurants, shops, and beach but in a quiet residential neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Perfect for three generations to sit together at dining room table, float and splash at the same time in the large pool, catch up and gossip on the 52 ft veranda, or slip away for quiet nap and last chapters of a great page turner. Solid construction -- They don't build em like this anymore.
