YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Welcome to 222 Circle Drive—a bright and beachy St. Simons vacation rental in the heart of the island’s favorite neighborhood. Just across the street from Redfern Village and walking distance to Gnat’s Landing, Southern Soul BBQ, and Dulce Dough, this classic tabby cottage is one of those rare homes that feels tucked away but close to everything.

Inside, it’s all light wood, clean whites, and intentional flow. From the moment you step through the front door, the vibe is calm, comfortable, and quietly upscale. A flex room opens to the deck. The backyard is fully fenced. And the layout works for couples, families, or a long weekend with the dog and the in-laws (if you’re brave).

You’re 1.8 miles from the Coast Guard Station Beach, 2.5 miles to Pier Village, and less than 3 minutes on foot to shrimp ‘n grits, boutique shops, or some of the best donuts on the coast.

We had plans change 24 hours before arriving at SSI, we scrambled to find a place to stay and found this one. This was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever experienced! Lots of room, nicely appointed, clean and comfortable. Walk to coffee, bakery, restaurants and shopping. We'll rent it again.

The house was so much more beautiful on the inside than the outside. It was comfortable and well decorated with all of the amenities that you needed. The management was easy to work with and quick to get back with you if there was a problem...even on a holiday weekend.

Quiet neighborhood except for an occasional plane overhead. So many more amenities and supplies than we expected. Lots of restaurants and stores within walking distance. EV charging connection. Note: 220v 50 amp receptacle. You will need your own adapter cable.

The house if very efficiently designed to maximize space. The neighborhood is good for walking, and it is conveniently located within an easy drive to East Beach, the Village, grocery stores, restaurants, and Jekyll Island. The only issue some visitors might have is that the house is in the flight path for the small airport on St. Simons, which means we heard planes flying low overhead as they were taking off and landing. This didn't bother us. In fact, if you like planes, it could be quite entertaining.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very clean. Beds weren’t so comfy and water pressure was bad, but house itself was good for our needs otherwise. I would not stay here again because it is a crowded street with houses and yards right up on top of each other. Sorry :(

This house is cute and the location was fine but we were greeted by large, dark stains on the bedroom carpet.. clearly an animal had major issues in there. I was told it was cleaned but I can't imagine it was done professionally to still look so bad. I did contact them about it and was told it was cleaned but they'd come out again if I'd like - by then we'd bought towels from the dollar store and just threw them over the areas. The next day I found my dog licking a dried area off the kitchen floor.. when I wiped it, it looked like something that could have been left by an animal. I called the property manager and was told she'd contact the owner - I didn't hear back until the next day, so had already purchased cleaning supplies when they again offered to have someone come and clean it. Hopefully they've replaced the carpet with hardwoods or new carpet by now. The neighborhood is fine and we had a nice stay but the issue of cleanliness definitely put an early damper on the visit.

It was a girlfriend’s week, first time we stayed near the Red Fern Village. Walking distance to shopping and dining. The house was modeled wonderfully for two girls to each have their own rooms. The back stairs need some lighting. That was the only issue we had. Thank you for a lovely Stay

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 222 Circle Drive is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of life. Plus, the property is dog friendly which is a bonus for us. My husband loves the location because it is so close to his favorite barbecue restaurant, Southern Soul. Great walking neighborhood and very quiet. The beach is a short drive away as are the other amenities of SSI. There are steps in the front and back of the house and that might be a concern for some vacationers. Otherwise, we had a great time on the island.
