Bide-A-Wee

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Welcome to Bide-A-Wee—a two-bedroom St. Simons vacation rental just five blocks from the Coast Guard Station beach and tucked beneath the oaks on East Beach. This dog-friendly cottage sleeps six and blends local charm with practical comfort: two living areas, two bathrooms, off-street parking for three, and a charcoal grill just outside the door.

Walk 0.3 miles (about 7 minutes) to the sand. Drive 1 mile (4 minutes) to Crabdaddy’s or Barrier Island Brewing for dinner. And if you're craving something sweet after, St. Simons Sweets is just 1.9 miles away in the heart of Pier Village—about a 5-minute drive straight down Ocean Boulevard.

Inside, you’ll find a full kitchen with bar seating, a queen bedroom with ensuite bath, and a bonus lounge connected to the built-in bunk room—perfect for movie nights, early risers, or anyone who wants a little extra space. This isn’t a beach palace—it's a memory palace. The kind of place you come back to when you just need to get away and slip into some unplanned fun.

  Mark R from Tennille, GA recommends this vacation rental

  Nice stay; nothing fancy, yet comfortable & convenient. Two car parking is quite the challenge when needing to turn around, very limited space. Very nice & short walk to the beach. I would stay again, but consider one vehicle only next time. All in all, satisfied.

  Anne B from Powder Springs, GA recommends this vacation rental

  My family and I have been vacationing on St. Simons for almost 40 years and have stayed practically everywhere. This last trip was a last minute getaway for my daughter and me. This cottage was perfect in every way! I loved the cozy charm, great location and neighborhood vibe. I can honestly say as someone who has experienced about everything the island has to offer...this cottage was one of my favorites. I felt the homey comfort of my grandmother’s. I will definitely be going back!
