Ocean Views Galore. Choosing a vacation spot is a big job. Searching through all those websites, trying to imagine what you and your family might like. Looking for the one place that'll meet your needs like no other. It’s so easy to make a mistake in your selection. However, here we are talking about St. Simons Island, one of the last stops on the way to getaway heaven, and Seaview 303, a beautiful, brand-new condo. Yes, it is in a fantastic part of the world. Yes, it has breathtaking views and fine furnishings. And, yes, its owners will be sure to go the extra mile to make you happy.

Newly built you can be among our first guests. (We’ll make sure construction workers have picked up all their tools so not to worry about tripping over anything.) We think our condo is truly a jewel with stunning travertine floors, granite counters and hardwood throughout—area rugs but no wall-to-wall anywhere for you allergy-sufferers. We hope you do, too!

The condo is custom-designed by the owners, just the way you'd furnish your home — no “cheap beach” feel anywhere: We mean great mattresses, plantation shutters and appealing artwork and objects throughout. Airy and light-filled, it has spectacular views pictures can only suggest.

Perched as it is in the building’s southwest corner blesses Seaview 303 with vistas to the south and west that embrace both ocean and Jekyll Island to the South (yes, wondrous Cumberland Island is also visible in the distance) and just west of it historic St. Simons Island Lighthouse.

Be assured that the living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom (we call it “Seaview”), and the western guest room (called "Folly"), all have ocean views. But "Quartet" bedroom is not slighted; its bay windows overlook the pool area, the charming First Baptist Church across street. (The owners named their bedrooms for the three original cottages that once occupied the exact spot as the spiffy new, 11-unit Seaview condominium.) Lots of history there the Hurts could tell you about...if you will lay on dinner! The old cottages may be gone but not the breathtaking views and great location, with the same handy beach access directly across the way.

St. Simons Village is a quick 5-10 minute walk west via a quiet, tree-lined street, or stroll on the sand. This quaint locale bustles with shops, restaurants and activities on the Pier. Should you walk east in the other direction, you'll come to the King and Prince Hotel, which has a great restaurant and Starbucks, Ocean Motion clothing shop and bike rentals, Crabdaddy and Chelsea bistros, gift shops, and the island’s old Coast Guard station.

Consider the little things also: cable, of course, in all bedrooms, HDTV in the living room/master bedroom and built-in DVD players throughout. You might want to bring the family pet, our beach chairs are yours to enjoy, heated floor master bath, and you are hooked into the world via wireless high speed internet. We feel that the small amenities in a vacation home make a huge difference. Then, there is our second-to-none housekeeping and maintenance service. Our housekeeper is only a phone call away, as well as the maintenance service available through a top-notch real estate company.

The old adage is certainly true in this case--location, location, location. No, this is not the Hamptons; we think it is much better, and far less crowded. There is all the magic of the Golden Isles, evoked not only in Eugenia Price’s famous novels but Sidney Lanier’s ode, “The Marshes of Glynn.” The Golden Isles include St. Simons and Sea Islands, also Jekyll (of the Millionaires’ Clubhouse and Hotel fame), Cumberland, Sapelo, and Little St. Simons. Fish off the pier in the Village (south end), or Hampton Point (north end), or your choice of sailing vessels (many for hire). Do ride the St. Simons Trolley and see Fort Frederica, Christ Church, and more. Don’t forget kayaking, golf, tennis, bike trails, and the numerous other tourist attractions. So, if you are new to the St. Simons Island area, you are in for a treat. If you are returning, then you already feel the spell of its understated magic, historical appeal, and quiet beauty.

Our biggest fear may be that you’ll come, and then want to stay on in our condo when your vacation is over! Just imagine a vacation where you could relax and even do nothing but sit in the living room, watch the lighthouse light make its circular journey at night, or during the day monitor big cargo vessels going in and out of Brunswick port and the many fishing boats chugging up and down the channel. Should boredom set in you can always look over and admire Jekyll Island.

If you like one-of-a-kind wildlife refuges and fabled barrier islands, just beyond Jekyll you can glimpse, even better visit, Cumberland, the National Seashore and Georgia’s largest barrier island boasting stunning dunes and wide sandy beaches, alligators and armadillos, loggerhead sea turtles and wild horses roaming everywhere. Drive to Jekyll over a causeway to tour the Millionaires’ Club and Cottages, or hike onto Cumberland via a short, fun ferry ride from St. Mary’s in Camden County, about an hour’s drive to the south.

Owner's Map of St. Simons Island

My name is Peter Cole and I am the owner’s representative. I wear many hats: an oceanfront, resort, rental condo owner; property manager; rental agent; dog tender (That is Woody in the picture. Spends most of his day in the chair across from my desk watching me work.) and favorite; loving husband. As a Medicare card carrying senior, I look back over a full life. My chosen life ‘occupation’ (my Mother could never bring herself to call it a job) was to take teens on cross country camping trips; 3000 teens in all, spanning 33 years. My nephew Doug slipped into my shoes as I slipped into my retirement. My friends and relatives worried about my having too much time on my hands in retirement so they gave me their resort properties to manage. My reputation as a good manager/agent grew. Now 12 properties fill my stable. It was 1967 when I took ownership of my first rental property. In the years since, we have bought and sold 11. I come to you with a lot of experience. I do not take lightly the importance of your vacation. I want to match your needs with the properties I represent. There are 16 pictures, a video and lots of verbiage. I am here to answer all your questions.

    • We had a wonderful time at Seaview, specifically #303! It was a beautifully decorated condo and very well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay! We will definitely return. After over 20 years of visiting St Simons, this was one of the best places we have stayed!

    • Great condo and awesome location. Even the beautiful photos and video don't do Seaview 303 justice. It is gorgeous-my whole family fell in love! Would definitely consider staying again.

    • We've stayed in several VRBO properties, but this is the first I've ever felt compelled to write a comment. Our stay at Seaview 303 was perfect and I'm certain that this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship!!! My husband and I are in love with the condo and have already booked our 2010 trip. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking great care to offer a CLEAN and beautiful rental. I didn't even need my cleaning supplies that I always bring on vacation with me.

    • What can I say..we came back a second year! Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The accommodations are well appointed and lovely and the proximity to the beach, village and bike path is ideal. We look forward to planning our 3rd vacation to 303 Seaview. Thank you!

    • We spent a week at Seaview 303 in May and had a wonderful time...hated to leave. The condo is beautiful, comfortable, well-equipped, and has a very nice view. Only steps from the beach; blocks from downtown, the lighthouse, shopping, restaurants, and the pier; and a short drive to several historic sites, Seaview 303 was perfectly located and afforded our family a memorable vacation. We are already looking at plans to return.

    • We spent 4 weeks at Seaview 303 this spring and loved it. The condo was nicely decorated, very comfortable and very well equipped. The location was perfect, near both the beach and the village. The garage located beneath condo and was spacious and clean. My sisters and their husbands joined us for a while and we all enjoy sitting on the large porch where we read and watched the big ships go by. Hope we can come again. Thank you, Sue & Jack Stanley

    • Wow. I lived on St. Simons for five years and was lucky enough to go back for my "Bachelorette" celebration. We stayed in Seaview 303 and can't think of anything better. It was immaculately clean, well appointed and very comfortable. We had about 10 girls (women!) in and out all weekend and it was the perfect congregating spot. The balcony has great views of the ocean, which is really just a few steps away. The Hurts have done a wonderful job with this condo. They were right too: we really did want to live there after our vacation was over!!
