This was such a great place for our family to stay. you’d never know you were on busy st simons at this house. it’s tucked away from the traffic and commotion of this island, and you can’t help but unwind and relax. Highly recommend staying here if you love older homes with character and match views

Boys paradise!
We had a wonderful time on our family trip. We absolutely loved this amazing house. It is perfectly situated on the Fredrica river where you can fish, catch crabs, Birdwatch, etc. Our boys loved exploring the property and the wildlife. Thank you!!

The house is pretty and spacious with a beautiful view.
A group of eight girls stayed in the house, and we really enjoyed it. It was far enough from town that we got to relax and unwind, but it was close enough to take an uber to go out or to run quick errands. It’s a beautiful, spacious house and we would definitely stay again! Very nice owners who were also very helpful and easy to get in contact with as well.

Summer family vacation
Loved the house and view. Truly spectacular sunsets. Dock was perfect for keeping my boat. Really appreciated the welcoming personal touches and the bread.....it didn't last long! My only recommend would be more comfortable mattresses. Enjoyed the house and will stay here again.
