Map & Owner's Profile
Marshfront Condo with Pool & Duck Pond, Close to Beach!
Year Purchased: 1987
Why the Owner Chose St. Simons Island
I chose to keep my condo and convert it to a vacation rental because I love St. Simons Island and want to always have the opportunity to return to my place inbetween rentals.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
St. Simons Island has remained quaint, not heavily commercialized. There are no high rises. There are lots of oak trees with spanish moss swaying with the wind. The lighthouse is attractive and has a great view from the top if you are willing to climb the staircase all the way up. Fort Frederica has the story of General Oglethorpe and the town of Frederica and how he won the battle at Bloody Marsh and saved Geogia from being taken by the Spanish. Kayaking with the tide through the Marsh area and observing the wildlife is a very peaceful, enjoyable experience. The beaches are wide at low tide and just Beautiful! Bike riding directly on the beach is possible where the sand is firm enough. It is also very enjoyable riding on the bike paths throughout both St. Simons Island, Jekyl Island and Cumberland Island. Cumberland Island is acessible by ferry and has it's own interesting history and unique beauty. For other day trips, it is less than a 1 1/2 hour drive from the condo to either downtown Savannah, Ga., or Jacksonville, Fl. There are local Shrimpers right there at both St. Simons Island and Darien, Ga. bringinging in some of the best tasting Shrimp in the world called "Georgia White Shrimp". The shrimp can be purchased directly from the shrimpers or local seafood markets or offered on some menus at the local restaurants. If you love the outdoors, there is plenty to do including scuba diving, golfing, biking, kyaking, exploring, shelling, boating, fishing, shrimping, shopping, etc. St. Simons Island also offers good restaurants and live music at several pubs or coffee houses. And there are often food, art and music festivals nearby.
Quaint village area walking distance to condo with lots of unique shops and popular restaurants.
Ruins of Fort that General Oglethorpe built to protect the Georgia coast from the Spanish. Includes Tabby foundations of homes built by the townsfolk of Frederica and their stories.
Working lighthouse with spiral staircase to top with a magnificent view
Owner's Map of St. Simons Island
Prior to my move to St. Simons Island in 1986, I never realized how beautiful the area was and was surprised how different coastal Ga was from my preconceived ideas. Many people don't realize there are quite a few Islands off the coast of Ga. And quite beautiful! The people are very friendly and the area is very rich in culture and history and surrounded by the beautiful Golden Marshes, hence the name "The Golden Isles". I owned and operated an income tax preparation business in Brunswick, Ga. since 1986 and sold it in 1998. I have lived in Ft. Lauderdale, the Florida Keys and now I currently live in Hendersonville, NC. I look forward to my return visits to St. Simons Island.
