About this property
450 ft to East Beach • 2 Kings • Pet Friendly • Sleeps 6 • St. Simons Island
YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME This St. Simons vacation rental is just a 2-minute walk—450 feet—to the 5th Street beach access in East Beach. Mary’s House is a classic single-story home with a flowing layout, two king bedrooms, fast WiFi, and a full kitchen with quality cookware, built to handle real meals. The screened front porch seats ten, with a porch swing, vintage cooler, and ceiling fans. Inside, you’ll find plenty of room to spread out across a living room with a smart TV and fireplace, an air-conditioned sunroom with a daybed, and a back deck with a charcoal grill.
You’re less than a mile from Barrier Island Brewing, Fiddlers, and Beachcomber BBQ—and just far enough from the crowds to unwind.
SLEEP ON ST. SIMONS This beach home sleeps up to 6 guests across three bedrooms: • Bedroom 1: King bed, smart TV, open closet shelving, hallway access • Bedroom 2: King bed, open layout with plenty of natural light • Bedroom 3: Queen bed with sunny window, smart TV, and bold bedding • Bonus: Air-conditioned sunroom with twin daybed and TV—great for lounging or overflow
ST. SIMONS OUTDOOR LIVING The screened front porch is the star of this East Beach vacation rental, with seating for ten, ceiling fans, a swing, and a vintage cooler that’s older than Instagram. Out back, there’s a charcoal grill and a gravel drive with space for three vehicles. Rinse off the beach sand, throw dinner on the grill, and settle in.
You’re tucked between two East Beach landmarks—Gould’s Inlet and the Coast Guard Station. Need wheels? You can rent bikes, boards, or beach gear at Ocean Motion right down the street.
Hop on a bike or take a quick drive to Pier Village for cocktails at The Half Shell, local Georgia shrimp at Iguanas, or pizza for big groups at Mellow Mushroom. Georgia Sea Grill is a longtime favorite when you're in the mood for something more upscale. At this St. Simons beach rental, you won’t need a car unless you’re in a hurry.

Easy access to the beach and biking distance to the Village. The home has everything you need — multiple tv’s, well stocked kitchen, great screened in porch and more. We will rent this property again.
Mary’s House is an adorable cottage with a welcoming front porch (screened), clean and comfortable furnishings, well-resourced kitchen, and a perfect location in East Beach. We spent almost two weeks this summer relaxing and enjoying all that SSI has to offer. House is located in an ideal location to great restaurants. We will definitely return and offer high praise!
We really enjoyed out time at Mary's House! It is a perfect East Beach location, with an easy trek to a lovely uncrowded beach. The house itself has lots of charm and was a great fit for our family of five plus our dog. The kitchen has all the necessities, including a crock pot to save you from worrying about dinner after a long day on the beach. And the house was absolutely spotless when we arrived. Thanks for a wonderful week. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Reviewer Comments:
Overall, it was a decent experience. Several issues need to be addressed. The garbage disposal did not work, which was a problem. The outside grill did not have a grate for the charcoal. The house smelled very musty and the outside yard was very messy and unkempt. unfortunately, we were there during the construction of a fence right next to us. We did enjoy the screened in front porch. There was no backyard at all, which was not indicated in the pictures or description. But one of the major things was that there was not a railing going up the steps to the front door. I needed assistance going up and down the stairs each time. Do building codes not require rails to help enable handicap people?

I stayed here a week after Hurricane Helen-everything was nice. The internet wasn't working correctly (not their fault post hurricane) so they immediately brought me a hot spot! The hot water could be a few degrees warmer-only complaint.

We just needed to get away for a few days to the sea from the stress of Christmas and this was the perfect place. All we needed!Perfect!
the house was perfect for us and our two dogs. renting a golf cart make living on the island perfect, close to beach, downtown, etc. the house is within walking distance of the beautiful, dog-friendly beach. kitchen has plenty of tools to cook, nice grilling outside, comfy furniture and great screened-in porch to relax. owner was quick to fix a wifi issue. we look forward to returning next year. bring extra toilet paper and paper towels, as only one is provided. 5 star rating for this cute house
The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating. The house is beautiful and perfectly located within easy walking distance to everything the village has to offer. We have already recommended it to friends.
mary's house is great, just as described. has everything we needed. one block from the beach within walking. get a golf cart for nice rides around town. we have stayed there before and will again .
Very clean and a great location for short walk to beach! This was our first time in St. Simon’s Island, and we would definitely book this property again!
Mary’s House was just as described. It was very clean and inviting. Check in was very easy. It was nicely located to the beaches and to the village of St. Simons. I would highly recommend!
Check-In was very easy, the place is beautifully decorated, and lots of different spots to hang out in. Kitchen had almost all the things we needed for a Thanksgiving feast, although there was no slow cooker as we had expected. We enjoyed taking the dog down to the big beautiful beach. Recommend you use Sixth Avenue to go down rather than the closer 5th avenue. Much straighter shot to the beach down Sixth.

Mary’s house is the perfect beach cottage. It truly is a vintage cottage. The beds sleep great, the front porch is awesome and the den arrangement and sunroom are great for hanging out. Proximity to the beach is also a plus and you can’t beat the east beach neighborhood.
We had an amazing stay at Mary’s house! It’s a cute little 1930s cottage that has been updated. Close to East beach public access or simply walk along the dune path. Definitely adding this house to our favorites for when we’re ready for another quick run to SSI! The realty group that maintains the property were easy to work with!
This is the third or fourth time I have stayed at the property, it is what a beach house should be, nice, clean, plenty of space and a charcoal grill! My dog loves the front porch as I read the afternoon's away.
This was the perfect beach home for our family vacation. It was exactly what we needed for our family of six and two pups. It was a short walk to the beach and a short drive to all of the restaurants and shops. Everything we needed during our stay was available in the home. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
We had a great experience at this property and Ben was always available. Our one problem was a bed had not been changed prior to our arrival and we had to change the sheets, hence to 4 stars for cleanliness. Other than that, which was an easy fix, we recommend this property and hope to stay there again.
My family had a wonderful time in East Beach. The house was in a perfect location, Ben was extremely helpful and everything we needed was provided. We will definitely be back!
We enjoyed our stay and the reason I did not give it 5 stars is because there was a ceiling leak in one of the bedrooms I’m guessing it was the air condition condensation. Overall cute place .
