East Beach • 4 Houses to Ocean • Dog Friendly • Fenced Backyard
YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME Jack’s Place is a St. Simons Island vacation rental that gets the important stuff right—four houses from the beach, four real bedrooms, and the kind of sun porch you’ll start calling dibs on before you unpack. Tucked into East Beach (the neighborhood locals would pick every time), this dog-friendly beach house blends laid-back comfort with just enough polish to keep things easy.
Inside, you’ll find a sunny, open living area with hardwood floors, smart TVs, a fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances and cerulean tile, and a 9-foot dining table built for shrimp boils, pancake mornings, or whatever your crew calls dinner. The sun porch has its own TV and wicker lounge setup, and the fenced backyard is perfect for lawn games or letting the dog stretch out.
This East Beach vacation home is a short walk to Barrier Island Brewing, Crab Daddy’s, and The Crab Trap, with walkable beach access year-round—even at high tide, which is rare on St. Simons Island. Whether you're traveling with kids, friends, or a few generations at once, Jack’s Place has the kind of layout and location that makes every plan easier. And yes—someone’s definitely making a Frosty’s run before the night's over.

Really liked the house and location. Very clean, quiet, few minutes to the beach.
Property worked well for us with 5 friends and a dog. Location was good but the walk to the beach was longer than expected for carrying beach gear. Rooms were comfortable and quiet. We had a great time!
We enjoyed our stay. Beds are comfy and all amenities were great. The only thing i would suggest is one bathroom at least be handicap friendly with a higher toilet for elderly and disabled people. Thanks

We went for the burial at sea ceremony. This place was spacious and provided room for everyone. The bedrooms were separate from the living area meaning you could take a nap without being disturbed. Lol. It was closed to the beach and everything else too. I would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful place with easy beach access. The house was exactly as described and everything functioned well. Plenty to do in the area, the mosquitoes were pretty savage but a can of bug spray took care of that problem! Great communication with the owner made it an enjoyable easy process and contributed to a great weekend with kids and grandkids.
Just wanted to get away for a few days. Nice home and perfect for us.

We had a really nice stay at this home. Everything was very clean and in good working order, and the location was great!
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and we felt right at home!! The location to the beach was wonderful and our dog thoroughly enjoyed having a backyard. We would definitely plan to stay here again if it’s available the next time we visit.
I was so spoiled being this close to the beach. Such a treat to be able walk by the sand dunes each morning and evening and so relaxing! Can’t wait to come back.
We stayed for Thanksgiving and we will definitely be returning this summer! The house is great. The backyard was wonderful for our dog. I can’t say enough about everything. It was perfect!
Property was neat and clean with open concept living dining and kitchen. What was really nice was the back porch where the kids could watch TV while the adults could visit and play games. Nice little fenced in area in the back for pets, if you have them.
quiet neighborhood but only a few minutes drive to area attractions and restaurants. Plenty of parking in the driveway. Would stay again if we go to St. Simons for another family reunion.
Property is a great location In proximity to beach access, shopping, and dining. Accommodations ad
Property is a great location In proximity to beach access, shopping, and dining.
Accommodations adequately described and sufficient.
I would recommend changing out all mattress on beds as they are very uncomfortable. Also, adding a few blankets to the closet for lounging. I also recommend adding cereal bowls to kitchen supplies and a broom to the cleaning supplies.
Our family (4 adults + 2 young kids + 1 dog) had a wonderful week at Jack's Place and we've already said we would love to come back in coming years. The space was plentiful and the open floor plan was awesome, plus the back porch. The walk to the beach is lovely and easy, and it was so great to not have to drive and park somewhere else for beach access. The street and neighborhood felt very walkable for kids, dog, wagon, and stroller. We would advise bringing a few extra beach chairs (they have a couple on site) and equipment and bringing your own beach towels. Thanks for a relaxing and fun time away!
There were 4 of us in the home for a week. We were very comfortable and the place was clean. The description and pictures were very accurate for the property. We didn’t identify any maintenance issues. If we had filled all 4 bedrooms with adults, the 2 bathrooms might have been an issue. The beach was amazingly close. The streets were great for walking and bike riding safely. We found dogs everywhere! It’s a very dog friendly place.
Despite a cloudy, rainy week, we really enjoyed SSI. Beautiful and not overly commercialized. Nice house with good location. The trek to the beach was a lil longer than expected with rougher terrain but this is due to the houses not being built too close to the beach and that is wonderful once you get to the ocean. The house needs some basic kitchen staples, like salt and Pam. Bathroom tub needs a plug, in order to use as a tub instead of a shower. Back yard was wonderful for the dogs but needs some sod/grass/landscaping.
