About this property

Big Dog–Friendly • 422 Steps to Beach • 3 Full Baths • St. Simons Island

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
If you came to St. Simons as a kid, this is the beach house you remember. Bold colors, board games missing half the pieces, a fenced backyard under the oaks. The kind of place with wet towels on every hook, knob, and half-sturdy towel bar. But this time, the Wi-Fi works. The bathrooms have been multiplied. The vanities doubled. No one’s on the floor in a sleeping bag. And the fenced backyard? It has a fire pit now.

1049 Ocean View is a single-level vacation rental on St. Simons Island. It has three bedrooms, three full baths, and a layout that spreads out. Open kitchen. Real beds. Real closets. A yard big enough to let the dog off-leash long enough to finish your drink. You can walk to the beach in under five minutes. Restaurants like Crab Trap, Fiddlers, and Barrier Island Brewing in under ten. Walk to Ocean Motion and rent a bike. Then ride off to the Pier Village. Don’t miss Palm Coast in the morning for coffee, but come back at night for live music. Want to know who’s playing tonight? Call our office—we’re probably already going to the show.

SLEEP IN ON ST. SIMONS
• Primary Bedroom – Queen bed, ensuite bath with double vanities and walk-in shower, smart TV, ceiling fan
• Guest Room #1 – Queen bed, shared full bath
• Guest Room #2 – Two twin beds, full hall bath with shower/tub combo

All on one level. No stairs, no bunk beds, no guessing which room used to be a garage. Just real bedrooms, real closets, and enough bathrooms to keep the peace.

Beautiful beach cottage!

The cottage was wonderful! The house was beautiful and one of the cleanest pet friendly places we have stayed. The yard was great for our pets. The patio was shaded by a huge oak tee which made outside dining great. We will definitely rent the cottage again.

Wanted to stay longer.

The house was charming and clean. The beds were very comfortable. The location was convenient. Easy to walk to see the sunrises and sunsets from the beach. Nice walk to the village. The only negative thing I can say is that the master bathroom shower head needs some major attention. I would stay here again.

First trip to SSI

We had the best week! SSI was a wonderful surprise to us. The house was perfect with a great location! The walk to the beach was easy and enjoyable under all the shade trees. The house was spotless and well equipped. We had no need to reach out to the host because everything was provided. We will be coming back!

Good Vacation Rental with Dog!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was perfect size for four, including 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Although this is an older beach house, it was immaculately clean and all necessities were provided. It’s a short walk to the beach, and we liked the fenced in yard for our dog. Would book again if traveling with dog! The beds were comfortable too.

Family vacation over New Year

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was a great house for our family of 6 and our 2 dogs. The fenced in back yard was great for our dogs. It’s a short walk to the beach and a slightly longer walk to the pier area, which has shopping and restaurants. Neighborhood was quiet and not a lot of traffic. It made for a lot of pleasant walks with the dogs. House was clean, everything worked as stated. Rental company was easy to work with when we needed to extend the stay for a few days due to poor weather and road conditions on the way home.

St Simons cute house

The house is cute, in a nice locality but the walk to the ocean takes 15 minutes. And the house Checkin and checkout process is a breeze. However the bathrooms on this house definitely needs some TLC. Overall our stay was a pleasant experience.

Last minute weekend stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We decided last minute for a weekend at the beach before our 2 kids went back to high school and college in the next week. The house was perfect for our family needs with the beach and village within walking distance. Being able to bring our 2 dogs and have a fenced in yard was great. Although we didn’t cook during our short stay, we noticed the spices and oils available for use which we would have definitely appreciated with a longer stay. So many don’t have any. We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend

Great location. We were able to walk to the beach and restaurants. The dogs enjoyed the beach and the fenced backyard made things easy. We did miss not having a smart TV, cable was available. The master badroom mattress was not comfortable for us, felt worn out and too soft. Overall we had a great time and looking forward to visit St. Simmon again.
