We stayed at Sharon’s place for the month of February and had a great time. The location is perfect for getting around the island and is in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood. East beach is a short drive away and we went every day, sometimes twice. We had one major issue at the house that was resolved very quickly. No complaints and highly recommend !!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Azanza

Host profile image
I’ve called St. Simons Island home for over a decade, drawn by its southern charm, beautiful beaches, and majestic oak trees. I love morning beach walks with my one-eyed dachshund, biking around the island, and horseback riding at the north-end equestrian center. Being surrounded by nature brings me joy, and I cherish the moments spent with my kids when they visit.

Hosting allows me to share this special place with others. Whether you’re here for a family getaway, a couples’ retreat, or a quiet escape, I take pride in creating a warm, welcoming space where guests can truly relax. It’s rewarding to know my home is a place where families reconnect, couples unwind, and travelers create lasting memories. I love helping guests experience the beauty of the island and hope they leave feeling refreshed and inspired.

Why they chose this property

If you’re looking for a centrally located stay near the beach, this vacation rental is the perfect choice. The neighborhood offers easy walking and biking access to the shore, with wide sidewalks that make it safe and enjoyable for families and pets. Just across the street, the scenic Bloody Marsh Battle Site provides a peaceful spot to take in stunning marsh views. The road is lined with majestic oak trees, adding to the area’s timeless charm.

This home is an original St. Simons beach cottage—a charming nod to the island’s past, when it was a quiet fishing village off the beaten path. Staying here lets you experience the island’s beauty and history in a truly special way.

What makes this property unique

This home blends vintage charm with modern convenience. Thoughtfully updated to preserve its original cottage feel, it offers cozy, inviting spaces with plush seating, high-quality bedding, and soft, luxurious towels. The tasteful furnishings and soothing décor create a warm, relaxing atmosphere—perfect for unwinding after a day of island adventures. With plenty of space to gather and relax, it’s an ideal retreat for families of up to six.
