About this property

A Summer Hour Retreat, Pet-Friendly, Walk to the Village

  • Welcome to A Summer Hour Retreat, a beautifully appointed St. Simons Island vacation home where one of the island's most walkable locations meets the comfort of a peaceful coastal retreat. Located in the Village area near the St. Simons Island Pier, Lighthouse, Neptune Park, restaurants, boutiques, and waterfront, this three-bedroom home comfortably accommodates up to six guests.

    With multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces and a garage-level recreation area, A Summer Hour Retreat gives families and friends plenty of room to relax together while keeping the best of the Village within easy reach.

    Spend the morning strolling toward the waterfront, explore the shops and restaurants of Pier Village, return home for a game of ping pong, or settle onto the patio beside the firepit after a day around the island. Here, the convenience of a highly walkable location pairs beautifully with the space and privacy of a vacation home.

    Why You'll Love A Summer Hour Retreat

    Exceptional Village location near Pier Village and the St. Simons Island waterfront
    Easy access to the St. Simons Island Pier, Lighthouse, Neptune Park, restaurants, shops, and local attractions
    Three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms comfortably accommodating up to six guests
    Multiple indoor gathering spaces with plenty of room to relax and spread out
    Front porch, private balconies, and a landscaped patio with firepit
    Garage-level recreation area with ping pong, card games, and cornhole
    Walkable setting that makes it easy to enjoy the Village without driving for every outing
    Dog-friendly accommodations for up to two dogs with applicable pet fees
    Comfortable Coastal Living

    The main living areas offer comfortable spaces to gather after a day exploring St. Simons Island. Relax together in the living room, enjoy meals around the dining table, or take advantage of the additional gathering areas when everyone wants a little room of their own.

    The well-appointed kitchen features stainless steel appliances and generous prep space for everything from a quick breakfast before heading into the Village to a relaxed dinner at home.

    Outdoor spaces extend the living area beyond the house. Enjoy your morning coffee on the porch or balcony, spend time on the landscaped patio, and gather around the outdoor firepit in the evening.

    For a little friendly competition, head to the garage-level recreation area for ping pong, cards, and cornhole.

We were in town for a wedding. This property is not only beautiful but the location is perfect! It was a 5 minute walk to the pier and restaurants and shops! The home was clean and well stocked with everything you could need. We had a great time and would definitely stay again if we are ever in St. Simon’s. It’s a cute little hidden gem.

We had the BEST stay when our family came to St. Simons for the first time to attend a friend's wedding! The home was so gorgeous and spacious and nestled in the most beautiful neighborhood within walking distance of some amazing shops and restaurants and of course walking distance to the water.
