The home was more than we imagined. It was fantastic for the family to relax and enjoy the surroundings of St Simons. The pool and screened in back patio were amazing. And best of all we were so close to the pickleball courts and the pier shopping/food area. We would definitely rent it again.

Great house close to the pier, shops, and restaurants
This house is in an ideal location if you like to be close to shops, restaurants, and things to do. We walked to the pier, the lighthouse, and the nearby park several times. The house itself is great and the stay was very comfortable.

Not only was this place was in an amazing location but it also was a clean and beautiful home. We were walking distance from downtown. This was our first time using Vrbo and it was so easy.
Truly a family home with lots of little extras. The screened in porch and beautiful pool were the highlights. Location close to town and large kitchen were added bonuses. Would love to stay here every year!

We had a really fun stay at Sunshine Magnolia. Two families of 4 traveled together. Really excellent outdoor space, with a screened porch, outdoor deck chairs, hammock, and of course the the pool. Bedrooms are divided into two different sleeping areas on opposite sides of the house, allowing for privacy and some quiet. Kitchen very well set up, had everything we needed. Walk easily to shops, ice cream, restaurants and the pier. We rented bikes and could bike further up the island to east beach. A great playground essentially right out the back fence was another asset for the kids.
