About this home
Located on the highly desirable south end of St. Simons Island, this beautifully renovated beach cottage offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, modern updates, and unbeatable location. Just blocks from the beach and within walking distance to local favorites like The Crab Trap, Crab Daddy’s, Fiddlers, and The King and Prince Resort, this home places you right in the heart of island living.
Completely renovated from the subfloor up in 2022–2023, this home lives like new while maintaining the character of a classic coastal cottage. Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, second home, or vacation rental investment, this property checks all the boxes.
The spacious backyard is a rare find for this area, offering plenty of room to expand the home, add additional bedrooms and baths, or even design your own private pool oasis. Outdoor living is further enhanced with a screened front porch, outdoor shower, and multiple storage options including an attached shed for beach gear, bikes, or gardening tools, as well as an additional storage closet in the covered carport.
Inside, you’ll find thoughtful upgrades throughout, including all new appliances, updated systems, and quality finishes that make this home truly move-in ready. Additional features such as a Generac generator, natural gas service, and professionally completed renovations add both comfort and peace of mind.
Opportunities like this are rare—a fully renovated home with expansion potential, generous yard space, and a walkable south-end location this close to the beach and dining.
