The Beach View Drive Residence
Perks for the Parents
Head down to the beach for a highly walkable stay in Saint Simons Island, close to sandy shores, playgrounds and restaurants. It sleeps 10. Visit the local boutique grocery stores, gift shops and microbrewery nearby on foot or rent a golf cart or bike and head down to the village for delicious seafood restaurants (ask the host for help arranging rentals). You could even play a round of golf nearby - Sea Palms and King & Prince Hampton Club both welcome non-members.
Why Kids Love it
The residence has toys and books for children under 10, baby gates and a pack and play available on request. Other baby items can be provided (ask the host before arrival) and both bathrooms have tubs for bath time. Within a 1 block route you can visit The Cottage (kids’ playground, “grab and go” ice cream, pastries, coffee, and breakfast, and gifts) and it’s just 300 steps to the public beach, which is sandy. It’s a short drive or bike ride down to the Golden Isles Visitor Center and SSI Lighthouse Museum for more ideas for family days out.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights. Check in: 4pm. Check out: 10am. Safety notes: the property is set over 4 stories and the main entry is on the first level. You can enter the property with an electronic keypad. There are 3 decks: 2 on the second floor and 1 on the fourth floor. All the decks are fenced in. There is parking for 2-3 cars in front of the property but car rental is not essential. The public beach access is located directly beside The King and Prince Resort - no beach passes are required. Sorry - no pets and no gatherings or events.
About the Location
The house is located centrally in the heart of St Simons Island in Georgia. This is a super easy spot for a family beach vacation: it’s a short walk to the beach, playgrounds and many restaurants. The pier village is a 5-minute drive, where you’ll find more restaurants, the fishing pier and newly-updated playgrounds for the kids. Jacksonville airport is just over 1 hour away; Savannah airport is around 1.5 hours away by car.
Accommodation Details
This townhouse has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, set over 4 floors. On the entry level there’s an open floor plan with a fully equipped kitchen and breakfast bar leading to a family-sized dining table for 6, a living room with ample seating and a pull out sofabed. The back porch has a barbecue grill. There’s a kingsize bedroom located on the first floor, with a living space and pull out sofabed. The primary bedroom (kingsize) and queensize guest room are on the second floor. The fourth floor has a queensize guest room. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom (some connected in a Jack-and-Jill joint entry style).
Style Notes
Seashells on the seashore. This property is very bright, breezy, open and modern, with a lot of natural light. The hosts have chosen a coastal and beachy style, which is shown in every room through nautical artwork, blue-and-white-striped textiles and white wooden textures. We love the colorful tiling in the bathroom, the inviting turquoise front door and the seashell lighting fixture hanging over the breakfast bar.
