YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Welcome to Drift Away Cottage—a three-bedroom, two-bathroom St. Simons vacation rental with a fenced backyard, string-lit pergola, and more space than you'd expect. The layout is smart: a full kitchen, two living areas, and a big laundry room for post-beach recovery. Inside, it’s freshly styled coastal comfort. Outside, it's Adirondack chairs around a firepit, burgers on the grill, and maybe a second glass of wine under the moss-draped oaks.

You're 1.8 miles from the Coast Guard Station Beach with free parking, restrooms, and a wide stretch of shoreline. Walk 13 minutes to Dulce Dough for donuts, 14 to Monkey Wrench for bikes, or just 11 to Southern Soul BBQ—the place Guy Fieri called a “cathedral of smoke.” Porch, Bubba Garcia’s, and Gnat’s Landing are all within a 3-minute drive.

a guest from White, Georgia recommends this vacation rental

This home was such a great find in a quaint neighborhood on SSI for our first trip to SSI. The home was very comfortable, clean, and well appointed. The decor was fresh and just the right amount of "beachy/artsy". Our visit was too short to use the firepit and grill space, but it was a fabulous addition to the home with a private fenced backyard. The little screened porch was a favorite spot for coffee and reading/studying. The owners truly thought of everything for a comfortable stay.

The distance to the beach was a short drive. We visited both East Beach and Gould's Inlet. Both were very crowded over Memorial Day weekend....not sure if this is the norm for all summer? It was a short walk through the neighborhood to Redfern Village for doughnuts, coffee, and yogurt. We enjoyed our stay and short venture around the island and hope to return to SSI again!
great stay!

Great Home and another wonderful visit to SSI! The owners have done such a lovely job decorating and The small attentions to detail made the stay so enjoyable. The side yard was perfect to relax after biking and walking on the beach. The neighborhood is friendly, quiet and convenient to so many shops and restaurants. We will be back!

Erika M from Charleston, SC recommends this vacation rental

The house was the perfect setting for our girls getaway. The location of the house was so close to everything whether we were doing some shopping, going to the beach, or getting dinner. The outdoor area was perfect for charcuterie and chatting by the fire. We had the best 5 days!
