About this property
A Summer Hour Retreat, Pet-Friendly, Walk to the Village
Welcome to A Summer Hour Retreat, a beautifully appointed St. Simons Island vacation home where one of the island's most walkable locations meets the comfort of a peaceful coastal retreat. Located in the Village area near the St. Simons Island Pier, Lighthouse, Neptune Park, restaurants, boutiques, and waterfront, this three-bedroom home comfortably accommodates up to six guests.
With multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces and a garage-level recreation area, A Summer Hour Retreat gives families and friends plenty of room to relax together while keeping the best of the Village within easy reach.
Spend the morning strolling toward the waterfront, explore the shops and restaurants of Pier Village, return home for a game of ping pong, or settle onto the patio beside the firepit after a day around the island. Here, the convenience of a highly walkable location pairs beautifully with the space and privacy of a vacation home.

Beautiful home and just what we needed. Super clean and well equipped on all levels. Location is a block from the Village (shops and restaurants), a block from the water, and easily walkable to the Lighthouse, putt putt, and the pier. This was our first trip to SSI and we will definitely be back and hope to stay at 119 GA St again.

We were in town for a wedding. This property is not only beautiful but the location is perfect! It was a 5 minute walk to the pier and restaurants and shops! The home was clean and well stocked with everything you could need. We had a great time and would definitely stay again if we are ever in St. Simon’s. It’s a cute little hidden gem.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the location and comfort of A Summer Hour Retreat. Being able to walk to town and the waterfront is such a special part of staying there. We would love to welcome you back to St. Simons again soon.
-Lauren with Lilmar Vacations
This is a fantastic property. The owners have checked about every conceivable box—its turn key ready for a great stay. Location is just perfect (super quiet area but only a block off of the little town). It’s spacious and even the beds are very comfortable. I would highly recommend. (If I had to provide any constructive feedback, the leaf blowers from the neighbor were ridiculous- even on Sat morning at 7:40am. I cannot believe they don’t have an ordinance to at least protect the weekends). But all in all, it was a small inconvenience. We would definitely stay here again.
