About Suzanne Jackson

Prior to my move to St. Simons Island in 1986, I never realized how beautiful the area was and was surprised how different coastal Ga was from my preconceived ideas. Georgia has 15 barrier islands and 4 are accessible by car. The islands in the Golden Isles area are quite beautiful! Sidney Lanier describes them in his poem "The Marshes of Glynn". The people are very friendly and the area is very rich in culture and history and surrounded by the beautiful Golden Marshes, hence the name 'The Golden Isles'. I owned and operated an income tax preparation business in Brunswick, Ga. since 1986 and sold it in 1998. I have lived in Ft. Lauderdale, the Florida Keys and now I currently live in Hendersonville, NC. I look forward to my return visits to St. Simons Island. I welcome any inquires directly by calling 828 693-6294 or 828 329-5117 Thank You

Suzanne Jackson purchased this Apartment in 2003

Why Suzanne Jackson chose Saint Simons Heights

I chose to keep my condo and convert it to a vacation rental because I love St. Simons Island and want to always have the opportunity to return to my place inbetween rentals. So I have decorated it very nicely and extremely comfortable. The view is magnificent.

What makes this Apartment unique

St. Simons Island has remained quaint, not heavily commercialized. There are no high rises. There are lots of oak trees with spanish moss swaying with the wind. The lighthouse is attractive and has a great view from the top if you are willing to climb the staircase all the way up. Fort Frederica National Monument preserves the remnants of a fort and town built by General Oglethorpe between 1736 and 1748 to protect the southern boundary of the British colony of Georgia from Spanish raids. About 630 British troops were stationed at the fort. A victorious battle at Bloody Marsh on St Simons Island saved the Colony of Georgia from ownership of the Spanish. Kayaking with the tides through the Marsh area and observing the wildlife is a very peaceful, enjoyable experience. The beaches are wide at low tide and just Beautiful! Bike riding directly on the beach is possible where the sand is firm enough. It is also very enjoyable riding on the bike paths throughout both St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island and Cumberland Island. Cumberland Island is accessible by ferry and has it's own interesting history and unique beauty. For other day trips, it is less than a 1 1/2 hour drive from the condo to either downtown Savannah, Ga., or Jacksonville, Fl. There are local Shrimpers right there at both St. Simons Island and Darien, Ga. bringing in some of the best tasting Shrimp in the world called 'Georgia White Shrimp'. The shrimp can be purchased directly from the shrimpers or local seafood markets or offered on some menus at the local restaurants. If you love the outdoors, there is plenty to do including scuba diving, golfing, biking, kayaking, exploring, shelling, boating, fishing, shrimping, shopping, etc. St. Simons Island also offers good restaurants and live music at several pubs or coffee houses. And there are often food, art and music festivals nearby.
