Vacation & Cottage Rental in Saint Simons Island, GA
Nestled on Georgia’s Atlantic coast between Savannah, GA and Jacksonville, FL, rests the Golden Isles, which bares four enchanting barrier islands - St. Simons Island, Sea Island, Little St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island as well as the beautiful city of Brunswick. Most known for its marshes and beaches, Golden Isles’ port city, Brunswick, is reminiscent of Savannah's charm, with its colonial public squares, historic buildings and shrimp boats galore. And with the Brunswick Golden Isles Airport and airports in Savannah and Jacksonville that are just an hour from the Golden Isles, traveling to and from these islands is a breeze. All you have to do is get here and we’ll make sure you have a comfortable and relaxing stay in our coastal beach cottage rental, Salty Dawg Cottage, conveniently located a short walk to the beach and the Pier Village District, where guests can enjoy dining al fresco at spectacular restaurants, shopping, and several indoor and outdoor entertainment options. Here’s a little more about Brunswick and the barrier islands and why they are a must-visit.
Brunswick
Known as the Old Town Brunswick, visitors can appreciate Brunswick’s rich history as renovations and restoration of historic buildings and public squares are an ongoing. History buffs can marvel at Old City Hall, built in 1888, and its unique clock tower and the Historic Ritz Theatre, which was built in 1898 as the Grand Opera House, and continues to host several exhibits and performances by local, regional, national and international artists. Architecture enthusiasts will also recognize and appreciate the Victorian homes in Old Town dating back to 1819, including Queen Anne, Jacobean, Mansard, Gothic and Italianate architecture.
After snapping photos of awe-inspiring architecture, you may not want to miss out on an opportunity to go shrimping aboard the Lady Jane, the only shrimp vessel on the East coast certified by the USCG to carry 49 passengers offshore. Following lunch of fresh seafood at restaurants such asTipsy McSway's Neighborhood Bar & Grill, we recommend a walk on Sidney Lanier Bridge to the Old Town Brunswick National Historic District, or taking a guided ghost tour or nature tour in and around Brunswick.
Little St. Simons
Accessible only by boat, Little St. Simons Island is a private island treasured for its seclusion and its major focus on conservation. Spanning 10,000 acres including 7 miles of beaches, this special island is one of the least developed of Georgia's Golden Isles, which is something many seeking tranquility can truly appreciate. Skilled naturalists are available to guide the island’s guests with activities including kayaking, fishing, and shell collecting. Should you decide to stay overnight, there is nothing like the fresh local seafood here with a serene and majestic backdrop for a perfect little getaway.
Sea Island
Sea Island has been known as a wonderful destination since 1928. With Forbes Five-Star experiences including the Georgian Room restaurant and five miles of private beach, three championship golf courses, their premier Golf Performance Center, tennis centers, yacht club, and kid-friendly activities, it is no wonder this unincorporated area of Glynn County, Georgia with about 300 residents is top of the line. Visitors can also visit nearby Broadfield, a Sea Island Sporting Club and Lodge, that offers a variety of seasonal hunting, fishing, and sporting.
Jekyll Island
In 1886, this southernmost island was purchased as a private retreat for a few of the world's wealthiest families, including the Pulitzers. With one of the largest historic district restorations in the southeast, Jekyll Island is a popular destination for history lovers as well as outdoor enthusiasts. It was not until 1947 that the State of Georgia took over and limited development to preserve its wildlife and protect natural habitats. Beyond its 10 miles of beaches, Jekyll Island is also home to the famed
Georgia Sea Turtle Center, 20 miles of bike trails, and a convention center across the ocean.
St. Simons Island, Vacation & Cottage Rental
Named one of the best coastal small towns by USA TODAY, St. Simons Island features spectacular beaches, world-class shopping, as well as top restaurants such as
Café Frederica, a local breakfast favorite, or Iguanas Seafood Restaurant for a delicious shrimp po boy after spending the day at the beach and visiting the
St. Simons Island Lighthouse Museum, which was rebuilt in 1872 after having been destroyed during the Civil War. If you’re still up for more adventure, you don’t want to miss the possible opportunity to see migrating whales from St. Simons Pier, which also offers views of Jekyll Island.
