Don’t overthink it. This St. Simons vacation rental is walking distance to Neptune Park, the pier, and hushpuppies at Iguanas. Two living rooms, a full kitchen, and a shady back patio make Bertie’s Nest the perfect place to leave the nest—for the best.


YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME

Welcome to Bertie’s Nest—a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath St. Simons vacation rental in the historic Kings Terrace neighborhood, just a mile from the Village. Close enough to hear the ship bells ring from the pier and smell the hushpuppies at Iguanas. You’re walking distance to Neptune Park and the pier, around the corner from live music at Palm Coast, and imagining the day's seafood binge by 10am just means you're fresh to the catch.

Inside, Bertie’s Nest feels like a page out of a story you didn’t know you’d want to reread—layered in charm, light, and the kind of comfort that doesn’t try too hard. There are two living areas (because the best beach rentals should have room to stretch), a sun-bright dining nook, a fully equipped kitchen, and two classic Queen bedrooms that bookend an updated bath with a walk-in shower and built-in bench.

The second living room doubles as a sunroom and bonus lounge with a futon, smart TV, and a separate half bath and laundry room. It’s the perfect place to crash after mini golf at Neptune Fun Zone or to cool off after a bike ride to East Beach.

Outside, the magic keeps going. The shaded back patio has a ceiling fan, café table, and plenty of room to sit, sip, or let your day unravel naturally. Across the street? A grassy park lined with towering live oaks. It's not on a brochure—yet.

highly recommend bertie's nest

We've stayed twice at Bertie's Nest and are about to return for another visit. The house is sparkling clean, well appointed and larger than depicted by the photograph--perfect for two to four people. It's located on a quiet street and only a short walk to the Village.

island oasis

We loved the house very much. Everything was very clean. I especially enjoyed reading on the covered porch. Close to the beach and shopping. Can't wait to return. Everyone on the island was friendly and helpful. Enjoyed dining at Barbara Jean's.

a painter's dream

Jan & I had a fantastic time and look forward staying here in the fall; and too, all future trips. It was only a 25 minute walk to the Village pier. We have been coming to SSI approximately 15 years. The home is 80 years old or so, well appointed and has everything you need; including a great add-on large sun room. I love to paint in this room and Jan works on her needle point or reads. Great AC and fans in every room. Large covered patio with barbecue and table and chairs. Also there is a park like setting across the street.WOW
