Gone Coastal

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Gone Coastal sleeps 8, has 3 legit bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a fenced yard so big your dog might come back enlightened. It’s the kind of beach rental where you spread out fast—kick off your shoes in the driveway, forget where you put your phone, and wind up on the porch an hour later holding court over last night’s ghost story.

You’re less than a mile from Southern Soul BBQ—close enough to smell the brisket—and just a short ride to Dulce Dough, where the island’s most dangerous doughnut sells out before noon. It’s a 7-minute drive to East Beach (1.8 miles to the Coast Guard Station), but honestly? The best parts are right here. A hammock under the trees. A palm in the yard that’s older than your playlists. A screened porch with room for eight, string lights, and zero bugs. If you’re doing it right, you’ll spend more time out there than anywhere else.

Inside holds its own: two king bedrooms, one queen, smart TVs in all of them, and a kitchen with a reading nook built for early risers or introverts mid-recovery.

WHY EMMONS?
We’re not a chain, and the corporate rulers of the vacation rental world will never tie us down. When something goes sideways, someone on the island picks up the phone—someone who knows what’s in the kitchen drawers and what’s hiding in the crawl space. We don’t charge for linens, soap, or basic human decency. And if something breaks, we make it right.
Not because we have to. Because our childhoods were… surprisingly stable.

  Danielle N from Athens, TN recommends this vacation rental

  This property is amazing. The house has all the comforts of home as well as being beautifully decorated. The mattresses are phenomenal. We were,however,without power late on our second day (as was most of the southeast US). With that, we were unable to find food, gas and basic essentials or keep the ones we had previously purchased. I highly recommend this property if you visit SSI outside hurricane season.

  Leyla C recommends this vacation rental

  My family had a great spring break trip. This “Gone Coastal” was close to plenty of restaurants and beaches. It was a last minute booking, so it was really hard to find a place that would accept my dog, but after we found this house, it was hassle free. Highly recommend. We will be back. Plus the beds were comfy too.
