A St. Simons vacation rental with a fully fenced yard, vaulted outdoor living space, and walkable access to Southern Soul BBQ, Dulce Dough, and more. Dog-friendly, two queens, and just 1.6 miles to the beach.


YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME

Welcome to 116 Circle Drive—a two-bedroom St. Simons vacation rental tucked just off Frederica Road in the heart of the island. With a fully fenced yard, dog-friendly policy, vaulted outdoor living space, and walkability to some of the South’s best shrimp and grits, this is the kind of beach rental that feels local and from scratch.

Redfern Village is right across the street—literally. Walk 0.2 miles (about 4 minutes) to Southern Soul BBQ, featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, or grab a 9-minute stroll (0.4 miles) down the sidewalk to Bubba Garcia’s for tacos and live music under the lights. Dulce Dough is 0.3 miles away for warm-from-the-oven cinnamon rolls, and the fanciest Winn-Dixie on the coast (yes, really) is just 0.5 miles from your door.

Inside, the vibe is easygoing and intentionally simple—leather sofas, shiplap walls, white oak floors. A chalkboard greets you at the entryway—perfect for kids, welcome messages, or doodles after one too many mimosas. The kitchen’s fully equipped, the layout flows, and there’s a stacked washer/dryer just inside the back door for sandy swimsuits or seafood surgery gone sideways.

You're 1.6 miles from the Coast Guard Station beach (a 6-minute drive or breezy bike ride), and less than 10 minutes from the Pier Village, St. Simons Lighthouse, and Ocean Motion bike rentals.

The house was clean with good communication and easy access to the property . The house is very small, maybe 700 sq ft? It has 2 small bedrooms and a very small bathroom with no room to place toiletries. The size was just ok for us however two couples would be very crowded. The bathtub would back up during a shower and the kitchen sink had very low water pressure. Beds definitely need updated. There is no ice maker or grill. The back deck is nice and big. The outdoor shower is a plus especially since there’s only one bathroom. It is fenced in for those with dogs.

wonderful retreat

We enjoyed our time spent in this wonderful home. It was quaint, cozy and with the back porch being the star of the home. Cozy chairs, ceiling fans, an outdoor table and shower completed this porch. The yard was fully enclosed and provided a wonderful area for our dogs to play. Would definitely return! The only downside was the location, as it is in direct line with the regional airport.

intown location.

The bushes and trees were more overgrown than the pictures show, the light over the bathroom sink did not work, the mattress is the front bedroom needs replacing [lumpy]. The location and amenities around it were good.

our favorite spot to stay on st. simons

We stayed here last year for a long weekend and stayed this year for a full week. Each time we stayed here the place was spotless. It's walking distance to Redfern Village with multiple restaurants and golf cart rental. Backyard is fully fenced in so our dogs could safely be outside with us.

family fun time

Absolute relaxation. This location was perfect for our family and two dogs. Whether a stroll was taken in the neighborhood or around the airport, the location was perfect. Proximity to the beaches and restaurants as well as the grocery store were legit. We will be back!

cute, quaint, and perfect for us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is adorable and quaint. The massive back porch and screened-in front porch allowed us to enjoy the weather outside as well. The fully fenced yard gave us peace-of-mind with our dog, and the close proximity to the park, made this the perfect pet-friendly place. We loved the outdoor shower! We only used one of the beds, but it was so comfortable. Looking forward to getting one for our own home now.

We planned a last minute weekend for us and our teenage son. The fact we were able to bring our 2 pups was even better. The place was as described and work well for us for the weekend.

a perfect little cottage

We loved the house. We loved everything. The attention to detail was (almost) totally perfect. I would recommend a better mattress in the front bedroom and the main living space TV was very hard to navigate (and my husband is a tech man). We loved the outdoor space, the kitchen amenities, the little enclosed front porch. We absolutely loved the house. We would 100% return.

annual trip to st. simons

The rental is as nice as advertised. Property was clean and inviting. Extremely pet friendly. We have a service dog and the backyard is spacious and secure to let your pet explore and get exercise. The property has wonderful indoor/outdoor living and it was easy to just relax. Plenty of room for up to 4 guests.

comfy & cozy home

Interior of the home is quite comfortable, but only has the very basic supplies. Outside garden is rather overgrown and could use some attention, but the rear porch is a private, relaxing, and comfortable outdoor oasis. Lastly, the management company is super easy to communicate with and very attentive to anything you need. They are fantaastic!

the magic of st. simons

From the moment we arrived at 116 Circle Drive, we knew we had found a gem on St. Simons Island. Emmons Realty has truly outdone themselves with this delightful two-bedroom vacation rental. It felt like our very own slice of paradise, a genuine home-away-from-home. Being dog-friendly was a significant plus for us, and our furry friend enjoyed the fully fenced garden as much as we did. The vibrant plant life added a touch of serenity to our mornings, and the two patios became our favorite spots to unwind. The screened patio was a sanctuary for morning coffee sessions, thanks to the Keurig coffee maker provided. And after our beach adventures, the outdoor shower was a luxurious touch that we truly appreciated. Speaking of the beach, its proximity was just perfect. A short car or bike ride away, we found ourselves soaking in the sun and waves in no time. Thank you, Emmons Realty, for curating such a wonderful escape for travelers like us. We’ll be back!
