About this property
Three generations enjoy splashes & space. Sleeps 16. Walk to Village & Beach.

Historic Strachan Carriage House provides modern amenities and comfortable luxury for all generations of your family, 2-3 families, or a large group of friends. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood 1-2 blocks stroll to the beach or village. Gated parking for five vehicles. Six bedrooms sleep 16 in King, Queen or twin beds. Kitchen with Sub-Zero, Bosch and Garland appliances and large outdoor Weber grill. The handmade oak dining table seats 12. Wi-fi, large screen tv and surround sound home theater on third floor. Large private heated pool with deep end - NEW! HEATED POOL Nov-March! Lots of room to play scrabble, read or take naps. Second floor 52-ft veranda overlooking the pool and garden. Yard perfect for croquet & bocce ball. Stroll to the village for shopping, dining, daily newspapers, or miniature golf. Walk to the fishing pier for crabbing and porpoise and pelican watching. Climb to the top of the St. Simons Island lighthouse, bike tour the island or kayak in the marsh. Lots for everyone!
Featured in Coastal Living Magazine: 'Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, this six-bedroom rental blends historic charm and modern amenities. While brick floors downstairs recall the home's former function, a 52-foot veranda upstairs encourages today's guests to stay awhile..... [the owner] tastefully furnished the carriage house so that guests feel pampered....The rental's prime location puts it within walking distance of the village, fishing pier, St. Simons Island Lighthouse, and beach.'
From our Guestbook: This is our second year to vacation here [and] What another wonderful time we had...Our grandchildren (and even adults) had wonderful times in the pool with all the pool toys. Our son from Atlanta brought 2 kayaks and they were a hit this year! We just love the spacious rooms, walking to the beach and village, seeing the places we saw last year as well as new ones. We especially like all of us having our last meal together on Saturday morning n the village -- then we are off back to work and normal routine of carpooling, etc. We will wait patiently for our return trip next year! (Family from Birmingham and Atlanta).
(We) enjoyed a great family get together. The location was great....What a nice time for cousins, aunts & uncles, & two new third generation little ones. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home. The spacious living room/dining & games area gave us great accommodations. We fell in live with the Golden Isl. (Family gathered from FL, TN, AL, GA and Nebraska).
From our Guestbook: We loved the house. It was perfect for our family reunion. After a rough beginning (Tropical Storm Faye) -- we were pleasantly surprised with a great weather week. The pool was awesome! The children and adults loved swimming in it morning, noon and night. We found all sorts of wildlife on the beach. Walking into town, shopping and miniature golf were great. We loved the pumpkin bread at Barbara Jeans. The little kids table worked out well as we ate lunch & dinner outside by the pool. Thanks for sharing your home! (Three generations from Boston)
The Ladies from St. Marys, Stuart, Florida had a long weekend of wellness & fun! This home suited our needs and held 10 of us beautifully.
Thank you. (Elementary School chums 60+ years later)

About the host
Hosted by Patty Deveau
Midwest native came to Georgia 40+ years ago to develop visitor programs and museums at 54 state parks and historic sites. Stayed for the history, the nature, and yes, much much better weather.
Why they chose this property
Unique historic property close to the village lighthouse, fishing pier, restaurants, shops, and beach but in a quiet residential neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
Perfect for three generations to sit together at dining room table, float and splash at the same time in the large pool, catch up and gossip on the 52 ft veranda, or slip away for quiet nap and last chapters of a great page turner. Solid construction -- They don't build em like this anymore.
