Newly built 4BR/3.5BA St. Simons vacation home with private heated pool, 2 king suites, and chef’s kitchen. Smart TVs in every bedroom, screened porch, and bunk room with XL twins. 8-min walk to Redfern Village and Dulce Dough, 5-min drive to the beach.


YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME

Welcome to Blue Heron Cottage, a St. Simons vacation rental built for families, foodies, and barefoot mornings by the pool. Located on a quiet street just minutes from the island’s best eats, this newly built beach home has a private heated pool, two king suites, a custom bunk room, and walkability that’s hard to beat.

You’re less than half a mile from Southern Soul BBQ (featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives) and Dulce Dough Doughnuts—the best doughnuts in the Golden Isles, full stop. Get there early—they sell out fast. They also do great coffee and mimosas, so whether you're jump-starting the day or just trying to survive breakfast with teenagers, you're in luck.

You’re also a few minutes’ walk from Redfern Village, where you’ll find casual eats like Gnat’s Landing, oysters at Wolf Island, and a wine-lover’s gift shop you didn’t know you needed (Wine Body & Soul—yes, that’s really the name).

Inside this beach home, you’ll find coastal finishes that whisper, not shout. There’s a chef’s kitchen, Smart TVs in all four bedrooms, and plenty of space to gather—or escape the group chat entirely.

Outside, it’s all about poolside naps, screen porch hangs, and forgetting your car exists.

paid extra for pool, couldn’t use it

Overall the home and location was nice. We chose this pricier property because it had a pool. We paid extra to heat the pool and it was not in working condition. They said in writing that they would prorate the extra charge and now they are refusing to honor that and it’s been over 4 months. The rental company has completely stopped responded to me. Would not use Emmons again and we visit SSI 2-3 times a year.

great rental!

We absolutely loved our stay! The rental was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. The location was perfect and made it so easy to get around—most places were only about a five-minute drive away. The property staff was also incredibly responsive and helpful, which made the stay even smoother. A couple of very minor things to note: the pool vacuum stayed in the pool during our visit, and there was some airplane noise at times. Neither took away from our experience, though. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Such a great rental!

beach time

Nice place. Didn't like the skimmer having to stay in the pool and a bedroom door needs to be planed so it closes better.

my expectations were slept off their feet.

This has to be one of the most luxurious vacation homes in the entire state of Georgia. The pool blows every other Saint Simons pool I’ve ever visited out of the water. The home is elegant, yet couldn’t be more comfortable. Someone seriously put a lot of thought into this. There are little work spaces all over the house if anyone needs to get some work done. I couldn’t have been more impressed. My family stays with Emmons Realty all the time. They never disappoint, but this house is special. Not to mention, super close and convenient to everything you’d want on the island. Thanks again guys. We will be back.
