About this property

East Beach | Pet Friendly | 4 Houses off Beach | Golf Cart | Outdoor Shower

My Family's "Surf Shack" couldn't have a better location. The Beach is an easy walk - Just 4 houses from the 6th Street Beach Access. East Beach offers beautiful sandy beaches at both high and low tide, unlike many parts of Saint Simons Island. The neighborhood is great for walking or biking. We always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. And it doesn't hurt to be less than one mile from Fantastic Restaurants and Shopping

The Kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances. It has everything you need to prepare delicious meals. Includes a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, Keurig, and toaster. (Along with all the dished you'd expect)

There is a Dining Room with a Large Table seating 6.

The Outdoor Spaces shine with a wonderful Outdoor Shower. You will also find a large front and back yard perfect for games, kids, and the dog. There is an additional small seating area with a Charcoal Grill.

The Living Room seats 7 to 8 people comfortably. There is a Large TV. We mostly use it for Games and Movie Nights when we've spent the day at the beach and can hardly move.

Restaurants (all within one mile):
Crabdaddy's Seafood Grill: Enjoy delicious seafood in a casual atmosphere. This is probably the island's most consistent reseraurant.
Beachcomber BBQ & Grill: A beloved local dive bar known for its great BBQ and even better company.
Barrier Island Brewery: They have some of the Best Bar Food anywhere, but don't let that detract from their Beer - This is the place to come for craft beer on Saint Simons Island.
There are more, but these are tried and true personal favorites.

This is a single level cottage with all bedrooms on the main floor.

Master Bedroom - 1 King, Tv in room

2nd Bedroom - 1 King, Tv in room

3rd Bedroom - 2 sets of Bunk Beds

All in all, the Surf Shack is a really special place on Saint Simons. We managed it with love for many years. Emmons Realty handles the home now, but trust us, you'll be in excellent hands with them.

Please note: The Golf Cart is electric, travels at 14 mph and is not intended to travel outside of the East Beach neighborhood. The golf cart is provided at no additional charge and is included as a courtesy to enhance your stay. No refunds or compensation will be issued in the event of a golf cart malfunction. (But this is almost never a problem)

Every one of our properties is furnished with a “starter kit” of supplies so that you don't have to run to the store at the start of your vacation.

2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom
1 roll of paper towels
2 trash bags
2 laundry detergent pods
2 dishwasher soap pods

What a perfect hidden gem!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such a great week at the Surf Shack! The house was perfect for our family and our dog. Plenty of room to spread out and relax and to hang out together. The owner is so responsive and attended to our every need. The short walk to the beach is easy to make, but having access to the golf cart is an added bonus. The house was immaculate when we checked in! We are already checking our schedules to plan our next trip back. Thanks so much for a relaxing week!

Great Family Spot

Great family trip to St. Simons. We've been coming for several years with extended family and this was the first with just us and the kids. The house was a good layout for us and had everything we needed. The golf cart made getting to the beach and into town with all of our gear super convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

Precious & Perfect

This beach cottage is precious! Spacious, sweetly & comfortably decorated for two couples and teenagers. Kitchen is well-stocked as well. Proximity to the beach is perfect. Golf cart is on the older side, moves a bit elderly for main road travels, but a big convenience and was nice to have. Loved our stay here!

The perfect stay for our family of 4

We have been going to SSI every year for 10 years (we were married here) we’ve stayed at many homes on the island and on East Beach and Bruce Dr. This property was the perfect size for my husband and I along with our two young children. Access to 6th street beach was easy and convenient and the golf cart was a wonderful perk! Stacy the owner was very responsive and easy to work with. We WILL be back!

Perfect Beach House

We loved the property! You can’t beat the location and convenience to the beach. The house was very comfortable and had enough space for our group of 6. Kitchen had everything we needed for meal prep and there were chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler for trips to the beach. There were plenty of quality bath towels and all the essentials. The golf cart was a huge bonus. We really enjoyed mornings & evenings on the porch. Honestly, I did not want to leave!

A disappointment

The house was very old, and the instructions were more like threats. The golf cart was moldy, and the bed was very uncomfortable. The location was good, but they really cheaped out on toilet paper and there were no paper towels. And the front door didn't lock.

Family vacation

The rug in living room needs to be trashed, because there is no way that rug can be vacuumed with all those snags because a vacuum cleaner would stay clogged up. The day we got there it was sooo hot in there it too until next day to cool. We bought groceries at local grocery and bought hamburgers and hotdogs to grill but could not grill because the grill was dirty and so rusted. The location was perfect but needs some work. The golf cart would not run the first day. The house has great potential but needs some work.

Good vacation with a few hiccups

The check in process for this property was great and had no problems finding it. It is an older home but the bathrooms and kitchen are updated. We had a few electrical issues the 3rd day and when trying to call the emergency numbers *provided by the host* nobody would pick up. The breaker tripped and caused the air conditioning to not cool. Once the owners responded we were able to flip the breaker back on and had to sit without air conditioning for 1.5 hours and the house temperature was 78 degrees. Then during the last night the fire alarms went off in all of the house at 2:15 am for no reason. There were several cockroaches and mosquitoes. Also if you are planning to work remotely here you may want to pick another property because the wifi is not strong and is very spotty. The location and neighborhood was great and the golf cart was a nice bonus!

Great Beach House

Lovely beach home in a great location near East Beach. Very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Easy communication with owners and quick response time. Access to beach at 6th street is a short walk. Use of golf cart an added bonus and helped with carrying chairs and beach stuff. Plenty of local restaurants nearby, spoilt for choice. Hoping we can return next year.
