This mid-century modern single-family home is located on East Beach, voted the best neighborhood on Saint Simons Island by Elegant Island Life Magazine and has sandy beaches at both High and Low Tide.

A total remodel was performed in 2018, but numerous of upgrades have been added since then. In 2020, the owners added a private heated pool and hot tub. In 2021, they added a massive back deck with a dining table and dining bar, all set under a beautiful live oak with hanging outdoor lighting. In 2023, they added a patio in front of the home. It has all sorts of hip decorations, jungle plants, chairs, and a swing that hangs from a separate Live Oak. These historic trees really make the property and are a feature the island is known for.

Quartz counters, updated appliances, and shaker cabinets, along with an integrated coffee station (drip and single cup options), a farmer’s sink, and a large pantry complete the kitchen. Seating for four can be found on the kitchen’s bar.

An adjacent family room includes a sweeping curved sectional seating six, a work area with a large desk and chair, an additional chair with a side table, and a gas fireplace. The fireplace is only available for use between September 1st and March 1st. French doors open for outdoor dining with a grill and large table for eight. There is where you'll find the pool, hot tub, and large back deck. If you would like to heat either the pool or hot tub there is a fee. The backyard is fully fenced.

All three private bedrooms, including two luxurious en-suites, are located in a separate part of the home, accessed from the foyer. Premium bedding and linens are used throughout the home.

The first bedroom includes a king bed, walk-in closet, chair, 50-inch television with Roku, and an additional queen Murphy bed, disguised as a chest. A pocket door leads to a beautifully updated bathroom with double vanities, a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, a separate tub, and a large linen closet.

The second bedroom includes a King bed, with an additional day bed with a trundle (2 twin XLs), 50-inch television with Netflix, Prime Video, and Samsung TV Plus. A vanity sink, large shower, and walk-in closet await in the oversize bathroom behind the chic barn door.

  The vacation rental experience with Emmons Realty was exceptional. All communication was answered on a timely basis and they were very helpful. The only problem was the pool was broken but we were satisfied with the remedy at the end of the trip. It was very easy to access the property and the location was perfect.

  • Manager Responded on 5/14/2024

    Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a good review. I believe the review was written before our remedy to the pool problem. I spoke to your wife and she was quite happy with the resolution and said you guys would definitely return. We appreciate you staying with Emmons Realty and look forward to your return.

  Karen S from Saint Marys, GA recommends this vacation rental

  Had a wonderful stay for my daughter’s 18th birthday! Location was great for a short drive to Pier Village and Redfern Village. The short walk to the end of the street to the beach/Gould’s Inlet was awesome! Nice beach with shells and locals walking their dogs. The layout of the home was great for my daughter and her friends to hang out while allowing me to relax in my own private area. I was also impressed at how clean and organized everything was in the house. Pride of ownership definitely shows in this beautiful home! The pool, hot tub, and deck were a great addition ( wish we would have been able to enjoy them more but weather did not permit it). I was also impressed with the excellent customer service when booking this property. Crystal was wonderful and responded quickly to my questions. Loved this property and would definitely stay here again!

  Mary B from Columbus, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

  We took our granddaughters to St Simons for 5 days. We rented the house at 2128 Bruce Drive. It was a wonderful house (just as described in the pictures) - plenty of room for everyone to have their own space - beautifully furnished and super clean - everything we needed for a fun stay at the beach! The heated pool and hot tub (which our granddaughters thought was their own private kiddie pool) were a big hit. We got in every morning and every night (they loved the changing lights in the pool). Close proximity to East Beach access and seafood restaurants. The realty company was very responsive - check-in and check-out couldn't have been easier. I would highly recommend this property - we definitely plan to rent it again!

The deck, tree, patio lights and pool create a wonderful space to relax. We would definitely select this property again on a return visit to the island.

  After a long 13 hour drive, we were excited to arrive at this amazing rental property. The front was well maintained and provided plenty of parking for two vehicles and the two golf carts we rented during our stay. The interior spaces were well appointed and very inviting. There were plenty of bathrooms, beds, and space for our group of 8 to spread out. This property was also super close to multiple beach entry points. We loved it!

  We came to SSI for a baseball tournament, so we needed the house to be fully accommodated for a baseball family and three grandparents. It was amazingly clean, well appointed with everything we needed and the layout was perfect. I even brought things (I have a VRBO bag with staples that I bring everywhere) and I didn't use anything I brought. We did have an issue with the fire detector decided to beep all night, and we had to pull it down, but I'm sure that's been quicky resolved with a new battery. We loved the house, the patio up front and out back and the proximity to the beach. It was perfect.

    Thank you for staying with Emmons Realty. We wish that you would have called any one of the 4 numbers listed in the house and we could have helped you with the fireplace. We have had a usual amount of rain this June, which is why the backyard may not have looked as well as we would have liked. We appreciate that you took the time to write a review and we hope to see you again. Thanks, Emmons Realty

There are only two SMALL items that could help this property improve in my opinion: a full length mirror somewhere in the house, and a door on the bathroom within the second master ... a fire pit out back would be nice too! Overall, a great property!

  This is a nicely-renovated house in a fantastic location. It had plenty of space for 3 couples, comfortable rooms, and everything we needed for our stay (minus a few minor items like cutting boards, wastebaskets and towel racks). It would have been very quiet, too, if not for the pool and pool house construction going on next door (which also involved a loud and constantly running sump pump)...unfortunate timing on our part!

  This property was just perfect! Great open living spaces on one side of the house, and very quiet, secluded bedrooms on the other side. The kitchen was very well appointed, and the gas fireplace was perfect for the cool evenings. Each bed and bath was set up like a 5 star hotel. The location of the property allowed for quick and easy access to the beach. Hope it is available next time we come to St. Simons!
