THE SPACE
Let’s take a walk through this lovely home:
Upon entry, you will be in the original home and enter with a quaint sitting room. This is a perfect spot for quiet time, reading and it overlooks the pool area. Off the entry sitting room is a queen bedroom with TV in front of the home and an ensuite bath with shower. The other side of the sitting room is a king bedroom with TV and ensuite bath with shower.
Down the hall from the entry and along side the tabby wall of the original home you enter into the grand addition of the home. Once here you are welcomed into the family room with a large screen TV, open kitchen and dining room. Off the kitchen and family room is a separate laundry room and a half bathroom. From most vantage points of these rooms are magnificent views of the pool and courtyard. The pool has an overflow fountain and there is a shady spot underneath a grand live oak tree.
At the top of the stairs is a bunk room to the left with 4 singles and a TV. To the right is a shared bathroom for the bunk room and adjoining queen bedroom with TV. The shared bathroom has a combination shower/tub. At the end of the hall is a grand king bedroom overlooking the pool courtyard area. The king bedroom has a TV, sitting area and adjoining bathroom with a shower.
We welcome you to come stay awhile at St. Simons Islands East Beach neighborhood. This home is located near the 7th Street beach entrance. There is a path and dunes to walk through to access the beach.
You will be supplied a starter supply of toiletries, dish pods, laundry pods and paper products.
Pool is approximately 9 x 25ft
