Over 100 years old, this historic home is one of the earliest properties on St. Simons Island and has been owned by the same family since construction. It is a beach home in the truest sense of the word - one which has been moved back from the ocean twice over its history, leaving a grassy lot in front of the cottage and a beautiful beach view from the large front porch. The property includes a private beach access and a private deck on the beach. The beach house is in a fabulous location within walking distance to the village, lighthouse, and many restaurants.

The Space

Drive in and park in a private, shaded lot with carport for two and additional space for five or more cars. As you enter the house from the back door, you will step back in time as your first sight is the dining area's antique round table that will seat approximately 10 people. The fully equipped kitchen off to the left will allow you to make your own meals. Laundry facilities are enclosed on the back porch.

Leaving the dining area, you enter a great hall that leads to the family room. Off the hall and the family room are four bedrooms, three of which contain queen beds. The other bedroom contains two twin beds and is on a light and airy windowed side porch. Upstairs, a large dormitory style bedroom offers a queen bed, 5 twin beds, and a double futon. There is a full bathroom upstairs with a bathtub. Two more full bathrooms are downstairs off the bedrooms, one with a tub/shower combo and one with shower only. Off the back porch is the "Honeymoon Suite" (as the family calls it): a separate, detached bedroom with a queen bed and a full bathroom with shower only. All of the mattresses are brand new.

The house is decorated in a colorful, summer style befitting the beach, and furnishings include many professionally restored antique pieces. As you come back from the beach, clean the sand off in the enclosed, outdoor shower. Then walk through the house, with a cool drink in hand, to the house-width front porch. On the porch, you will find rocking chairs, tables, a porch swing and a hammock. This is our favorite place for visiting with family and friends, enjoying the ocean view and breeze, or taking a nap!

This house just calls for a large group, a couple of families, or a family reunion. Come be transported back to a simpler time!
