Getaway to Tabby Shack SSI...new heated POOL, 3b/2ba, near beach & village, dogs

Welcome to Tabby Shack SSI! Escape to the charming southern town of Saint Simons Island while staying in our 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, blending easy comfort with beachy vibes providing a sense of home within walking distance to beaches, restaurants, and fun.

Tabby Shack SSI is a newly remodeled beach house on the south-end of the island. Enjoy the best of what Saint Simons Island has to offer!

"A home where friends meet, family gathers, and love grows."

***NEW POOL WITH UPDATED BACKYARD to include fenced in backyard, private patio, outdoor shower, sun ledge, pool bench, new furniture, new landscaping, grilling, and pool heater. Pictures coming February 2023.***

***Memorial Day through mid-August as well as most holidays require a minimum of 7-night rental; Saturday-to-Saturday.***

Small pets/dogs only. Pet must be declared at time of reservation and additional fee applies.

This is a non-smoking property.


The space
You enter the Tabby Shack with brightly colored door and shutters to find a custom made entryway with baskets to store your shoes, hooks for your coats, bags, and towels, shelves for your grab and take items, and a bench to get yourself ready to enjoy a day out on the island. Leave your stress at the door to kick-off your holiday right.

From the entry, you’ll find the heart of the house with an open concept living/dining/kitchen space. The living room is designed to bring you together with your fellow travelers as the central space for your vacation. You will find more than ample seating with a large sectional couch to enjoy each other, a board game, or even a movie on the new 4K large screen TV. If you are looking to break away from the pack, take a seat in the cozy chairs by the fireplace and windows where you can read a book or enjoy a drink of your choice.

Through the living room, you will see the dining area. Enough seating for eight (8) between a large table and the granite breakfast bar area on the kitchen peninsula. Fall in love with the plantation shutters allowing you to control the light and set the mood for your meals. Our favorite use of this space is as the location of many laughs and smiles over one of the many board games provided with the house.

The dining area opens to our well-stocked kitchen where any chef would be excited…high-end Samsung appliances, new tabletop serving ware for entertaining, and the all the basics for your stay. The floor plan allows the chef or chefs to prepare meals or a quick snack while never being away from the fun in the rest of the home. Tabby Shack SSI has a full-sized washer and dryer in the utility room.

Back through the living room, you will find the hallway connecting the living space to the sleeping quarters. The first door on the right is the Master Suite. Relax in the private bedroom with a new king bed, ample storage with a dresser and walk-in-closet. No master bedroom is complete without a newly renovated en-suite bathroom with a dual vanity and luxurious shower. A perfect start or end to your day.

Following the hallway to the front of the house, you will find two (2) bedrooms. The first guest room is appointed with a comfortable queen bed complete with walk-in closet, dresser, and southern facing windows with the same plantation shutters found in the rest of the house for your friends and family to spread out in their own space. The third and final bedroom offers the same amenities as the second guest room with twin beds. The main bathroom for the house has a tub/shower combo, plenty of storage, and has also been renovated.

Moving to the yard, the side patio is your access point to our outdoor living spaces. The patio is ready for your enjoyment. Furnished with a gas BBQ grill, outdoor dining, and nature. This is the perfect spot to prepare the catch of the day from your fishing trip or your famous BBQ. Oh and we have outdoor games, too! Challenge each other to giant Jenga or Connect 4 while enjoying the outdoors. Throughout the day, take-in the morning sun or relax in the afternoon shade.

***NEW DECREMBER 2022 - in ground, private pool with heating available for an additional cost. Construction pictures are available on our Instagram. We will be getting photographer pictures in January.***

Tabby Shack SSI provides you, indoor and outdoor living spaces connecting you to island. Arrive to a clean home including everything you need for a great vacation with your friends, your family of all ages, and yourself for a great trip.

Begin your vacation today by following us on Instagram @TabbyShackSSI. Here you can learn about the house renovations, get island insider secrets, and pictures of the relaxation waiting you.

Great beach house!

Fully stocked beach house, just bring clothes and head on over! Very nice salt water pool for kids to swim in all day. Fully stocked kitchen if you want to cook or head over to coastal kitchen or southern soul bbq or any of really convenient seafood restaurants, which is what we did. Close to everything! Has washer/dryer/lots of tv channels, Netflix, Disney. Even books. Highly recommend!

The cottage is beautifully decorated and felt very welcoming.

The cottage is located on a quiet road but still very close to the pier and cute downtown shops. It has everything you need for an amazing vacation. We will definitely be back.

St. Simons Island Vacation

The property was fantastic. It was clean and just the right size for us. The property was centrally located and made it easy to access everything that we wanted to see on St. Simons Island. I would highly recommend this property for a vacation rental.

Perfect location

We had a wonderful time in St Simons, and this cottage had much to do with that. It was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed, and is located in a quiet neighborhood a short distance from the beach and the village. St Simons and the Golden Isles gave us a relaxing vacation, and this vacation rental fit right in.

Amazing place

We loved the Tabby Shack! Even better than the pictures! Clean, kid friendly, very organized and the owner has thought of every detail! Pool and outdoor area was our family’s favorite. The location was great. Beach, restaurants and shops were just a short golf cart ride away.

Great Stay!

My family and I had a great stay at this very comfortable and well kept home. With two Grandkids it afforded more than enough room. The location is perfect close to most activities. We would most certainly recommend to others traveling to the area. Charles & Cynthia Berry

Family spring break

We rent properties each year in Florida and this was our first trip to SSI. It was close to the beach, pier, shops and has great roads for bike paths and outdoor activities. My kids enjoyed the skate park and playground nearby. Very comfortable and well appointed, we'll definitely be back!

Tabby Shack

We were impressed beyond measure. The property was immaculate and extremely well organized. Every detail was carefully curated by the gracious & attentive hosts. It was the perfect place to unwind & relax. Anything we might need, was already thought of & provided by our hosts. Our hosts gave us wonderful recommendations for dining & activities. We plan to return next year if the Tabby Shack is available.

Pictures don’t do this place justice! Everything is so nice. The master shower is to die for! The pool was so relaxing and entire backyard was everything I could have ever wanted. My husband and I had the most amazing weekend at the Tabby Shack. 10/10 would return! Check out Bubba’s Garcia and the Gnat Landing for a low key, casual dinner…so good!

The home is beautiful and very roomy for a family of 6.

We enjoyed our stay the home was excatly what the pictures shows. The outside shower did not work and the bikes were not in the greatest shape, but that was ok we just rented some. Not a problem for us. The only bad thing I could say is the home is further away from the beach than what we are used to but very quite neighborhood and relaxing. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your home.

Great accomodations, great location

We've been traveling to SSI for the last 6 years and when we found out that our usual rental wasn't available, we were forced to find something else. I'm so glad we stumbled upon this gem. This is a beautifully decorated house with really comfortable beds and anything you could possibly want. The best part was not having to rent bikes and worry about returning them in time because bikes were available on the property (a huge plus!). It was so nice to bike to the beach every day, which was less than a mile away. We will look forward to coming back here in the future.

Saint Simons Island Trip

We came to Saint Simons Island for my nephew's wedding, and I will never forget the visit. We had a wonderful time with lots of family and friends. This home was perfect for us. It is very comfortable, nicely furnished and fully equipped. The location was perfect for our needs. Everywhere we needed to be for the celebration was within a couple of miles. The restaurants in the village are a little over a mile away which gives you a good opportunity to walk to work up an appetite and walk off some calories after a great meal. We would love to have a reason to visit Saint Simons Island again, and if we did, we would definitely like to stay here again.

Comfortable, we'll maintained, private home with all a family with kids needs for a beach trip.

The house is in great shape and well taken care of. It's a very short drive to the beach at Coast Guard Station which has the best beach for kids with sand bars, tide pools, bathrooms, a snack bar and free parking. The outside shower in the back yard was perfect for washing off kids who cannot seem to stay out of the sand after rinsing off at the beach. The dead end street is very quiet and the park is literally across the street form the front door. Location is also close to the lighthouse and village. The owners are very responsive to any issues that arise and made us feel welcome in their house. We had a relaxing vacation with the kids and couldn't have asked for a better house for our SSI trip.

The perfect spot!

There are so many positives to this home, I don't know where to begin. I hesitate to review it positively, as I don't really want to share it with anyone else. ha ;) The house is so nice - the furnishings make me want to redo my own home, the neighborhood is super quiet and convenient to everything, the house has everything you need and is so organized - again, makes me want to reorganize my own home! This will be our new getaway spot when we visit the island. :) Thank you Tabby Shack!
