Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear the Flying Turtle was a great fit for your family. It truly means a lot to know the little details made your stay enjoyable. We’d love to welcome you back anytime you find yourselves on St. Simons Island again!
The house was just like home away from home. The golf cart was perfect for the six of us to travel together to the beach and the village with designated parking for golf carts. The house was in a perfect location and was very clean. You could literally just show up, the house has everything you need for a beach get away. Will definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie or Kenny
We’re Stephanie and Kenny – brother and sister who grew up visiting St. Simons Island with our Nana, and now co-hosts of The Flying Turtle, a home that holds generations of memories. Our Nana lived on the island and poured so much love into this house and community, and it’s an honor to carry that forward.
We both live in Georgia and stay busy with work, family, and everyday life – but this little slice of coastal calm is where we come to reconnect and recharge. We’ve worked hard to renovate the home while keeping its heart intact, and we truly love sharing it with others.
Whether you're here to unwind, explore, or just feel a little more grounded, we hope you feel the same warmth and welcome our family has always found here.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it feels like the heart of St. Simons – peaceful, welcoming, and just the right mix of local life and vacation vibes. Our Nana owned this home as a vacation rental too, and we’ve always loved how it’s tucked away in a quiet residential area while still being just minutes from the beach, the pier village, and some of the island’s best spots to eat, shop, and explore.
It’s the kind of neighborhood where you’ll see neighbors walking their dogs, kids riding bikes, and the occasional golf cart zipping by on the way to catch the sunset. It’s safe, relaxed, and full of charm – and we think it’s one of the best ways to experience St. Simons like a local.
What makes this property unique
The Flying Turtle stands out for its combination of comfort, convenience, and thoughtful extras. The home has been fully renovated but still holds onto its coastal charm, with breezy front and back porches, a stocked coffee bar, board games, and cozy gathering spaces perfect for families or small groups.
We offer a fully equipped kitchen with all the essentials (plus a few fun extras like a blender and a full suite of seasonings), smart TVs, fast Wi-Fi, and a washer/dryer for easy, comfortable living. One unique perk? Guests can rent our 6-seater golf cart to explore the island with ease.
From the layout to the location, everything is designed to make your stay stress-free, fun, and full of good memories.
