Classic St. Simons vacation rental near Pier Village restaurants, 2 miles to East Beach. Walk to Georgia Sea Grill, grab bikes or a golf cart from Seaside, then wind down in the fenced backyard with fire pits, a sunroom, and outdoor shower.
YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
This St. Simons vacation rental is what happens when a classic island cottage gets a little extra care and a lot more personality.
Hidden under the oaks just 0.6 miles (a 14-minute walk) from Pier Village, Seagull Cottage puts you steps from Georgia Sea Grill and right across the street from the Village Inn & Pub—a place where local upscale boomers still know how to have a little too much fun. Call Seaside Bikes & Carts if you want bikes delivered or feel like splurging on a golf cart. You only live once.
You’re just 2 miles from the Coast Guard Station on East Beach, St. Simons Island's best beach access—with bathrooms, showers, and lifeguards during peak season.
And the beach house itself? Who could ask for anything more? Two comfortable bedrooms with just enough beach charm to remind you why you came, and absolutely zero this is just a rental vibe. A bonus nook with twin beds, a kitchen that doesn’t judge your second dinner, and a backyard with two fire pits, an outdoor shower, and a tropical garden that dares you to cancel your plans and stay in your beach towel.
