About this property
Dog Friendly, 5-bedroom Home on East Beach, 100 Yards to Beach Access, Perfect for Family Getaways!
Harbor Light at the Beach is a classic East Beach cottage just minutes from the ocean, offering the kind of relaxed coastal charm that makes St. Simons Island such a beloved getaway. Tucked along Fourth Street in East Beach, this original island home reflects the neighborhood's long-standing tradition of welcoming beach cottages, simple, comfortable, and made for time together. While it retains that timeless cottage feel, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed with a newly updated kitchen and bathrooms for an easy, modern stay.

There is also a second cozy room upstairs with two bunk beds, creating an extra sleeping nook that's great for younger guests.
The home is well-appointed and designed for easy island living, with an updated kitchen featuring a large center island, a coffee bar for slow mornings, and a comfortable spot to relax and watch TV. There's also a laundry room to keep beach towels and swimsuits under control, along with a dining room that's ready for group meals and a comfortable living room for movie nights and conversation.

After spending the day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower with hot water—a must-have for sandy toes and salty hair.
Harbor Light at the Beach is also conveniently located near several island specialty shops and restaurants, as well as the Historic Coast Guard Station, which now houses the island's WWII exhibit and offers a glimpse into St. Simons' coastal and maritime history.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The house was so well appointed, clean and ideally located close to the beach. I had limited mobility, so the first floor was perfect for me to move around. We will return next year for a couple weeks.
We had a group of ladies staying for a friends' long weekend. We were amazed at the amount of space once we got inside. The kitchen is impressive. We played games at the large dining room table. Everyone had a comfortable bed. We truly enjoyed our stay!
So spacious with plenty of room and beds for 8 adults. We loved the outdoor shower, being able to walk to the beach. The front porch was great for sitting. Great house.
We really loved this property! The house was a sweet bungalow in a great quiet neighborhood.
We loved:
the renovated kitchen
the upstairs bedroom
the proximity to the beach
the quite neighborhood, private feel
the new, clean bathrooms
It was a perfect place for our family of 6 (4 teens/tweens) to enjoy fall break from school!

Reviewer Comments:
This place was adorable! We already booked it again for next year.
We had a wonderful time. Check in was smooth. We loved the willingness of the staff to share the map of the island and recommend restaurants. The house was very well appointed & comfortable. We spent so much time eating, laughing and playing games around the massive kitchen island.
Moms/daughters/cousins 2nd annual girls trip. We enjoyed the beautiful home, no words for the kitchen renovation!!!! Home had everything we needed. We enjoyed the shops, local eateries, walks to the beach, the lighthouse and even lucked out and we're able to attend the Shrimp and Grits festival in Jekyll Island.
We had a great stay over the Memorial Day weekend, the location was fantastic and the redo of the kitchen space was very nicely done. House was well stocked in the kitchen, had nice beach equipment (Bikes) and plenty of fun games and puzzles. We did have internet issues but the company did quickly bring us a hot spot to get us through the long weekend. The history of the house and family is really cool, so spend some time in the office learning about St. Simons, the house, and the great family.

Perfect 4th of July Vacation
We rented East Beach for a long 4th of July weekend. The house was perfect for a group of 10, and enough space to fit even more - plenty of living space and fantastic patios on both sides of the house. The house was spotless and had everything you could ever need to make you feel perfectly at home. A short 10 min walk to the beach, which made East Beach the perfect location! We will definitely be renting again!

Reviewer Comments:
Loved this house in every way. A well-stocked kitchen and comfortable furnishings made it seem like home, but the art and historical decor helped us fall in love with beautiful Saint Simons Island. Plenty of space on the first floor for 5 adults, but wished we had some children along to make use of the cozy bunk room upstairs! House is located in a very comfortable neighborhood for relaxing on the porch or walking around. Can't wait to come back!
This property is much nicer and larger than the pictures give it credit for! The kitchen is huge and newly remodeled. The upstairs area is great and the outside area is more useful that it appears. Location is good. We rented a golf cart and used the public parking for the beach about 3 blocks away but you can go down the 4th street access then cut over to the 3rd street access (4th isn't assessible to the beach any longer) and go to a more private area of the beach. Also 5th street is fully accessible by golf cart with parking. The Village is about a 5 minute drive so we used the golf cart for that also.

It was outstanding. The house is very nice on the inside; the decor is lovely. The front porch is great for relaxing. East Beach is my favorite part of the island.
This house was the perfect fit for bringing our boys and and our oldest son's friends. The five 17 and 18 year old guys shared the second floor bedroom, with a bed for each. We were celebrating our oldest turning 18 and spent a great night grilling and cooking before eating, sharing stories and laughing for 2 hours around the large dining room table. The beaches were very close, with great waves and sand to hang out at. I just wished we could have spent more days at this lovely house!

We had a short trip to the island and were luckily able to get this place sort of last minute. The house is very spacious, comfortable, clean and conveniently located. We were only a half block to a beach access. The house has all we needed from beach towels to appliances to dishes to an assortment of games, cards, and books. A great house and we'll definitely try to get it again next time we go to SSI
