About this house rental

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Welcome to Drift Away Cottage—a three-bedroom, two-bathroom St. Simons vacation rental with a fenced backyard, string-lit pergola, and more space than you'd expect. The layout is smart: a full kitchen, two living areas, and a big laundry room for post-beach recovery. Inside, it’s freshly styled coastal comfort. Outside, it's Adirondack chairs around a firepit, burgers on the grill, and maybe a second glass of wine under the moss-draped oaks.

You're 1.8 miles from the Coast Guard Station Beach with free parking, restrooms, and a wide stretch of shoreline. Walk 13 minutes to Dulce Dough for donuts, 14 to Monkey Wrench for bikes, or just 11 to Southern Soul BBQ—the place Guy Fieri called a “cathedral of smoke.” Porch, Bubba Garcia’s, and Gnat’s Landing are all within a 3-minute drive.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was such a great find in a quaint neighborhood on SSI for our first trip to SSI. The home was very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. The decor was fresh and just the right amount of "beachy/artsy". Our visit was too short to use the firepit and grill space, but it was a fabulous addition to the home with a private fenced backyard. The little screened porch was a favorite spot for coffee and reading/studying. The owners truly thought of everything for a comfortable stay. The distance to the beach was a short drive. We visited both East Beach and Gould's Inlet. Both were very crowded over Memorial Day weekend....not sure if this is the norm for all summer? It was a short walk through the neighborhood to Redfern Village for doughnuts, coffee, and yogurt. We enjoyed our stay and short venture around the island and hope to return to SSI again!
