Our family always does a vacation every summer. Last summer it was the mountains. The last time we were at St Simon's Island was the Summer of 2020. Everything was closed. Only a few restaurants were open and a handful of shops. Thankfully the beaches were empty.
This year the shops were all open, all the restaurants were buzzing, and the beaches were full of life. Thankfully St Simon's is never one of those super crowded vacation spots like Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach. The beaches may have a good amount of people but there's still lots of room for everyone.
Our VRBO condo was amazing. They recently renovated and it looks great. It was a huge suytonus because it doesn't look like the old pictures anymore. It's updated and modern. Not that we don't mind the kitschy beach theme a lot of folks use in their rentals. But it was a nice surprise. Our teenagers loved the nearby pool. It was never crowded. There are propane grills scattered around the village for owners and renters to use. The ducks walking around are adorable. Most of the property is pretty shaded and has a great relaxed feeling to it. We highly recommend you stay here. We know we will again.
