Walk to Famous BBQ • Firepit Nights • St. Simons Island Rental

YOUR ST. SIMONS VACATION HOME
Welcome to Drift Away Cottage—a three-bedroom, two-bathroom St. Simons vacation rental with a fenced backyard, string-lit pergola, and more space than you'd expect. The layout is smart: a full kitchen, two living areas, and a big laundry room for post-beach recovery. Inside, it’s freshly styled coastal comfort. Outside, it's Adirondack chairs around a firepit, burgers on the grill, and maybe a second glass of wine under the moss-draped oaks.

You're 1.8 miles from the Coast Guard Station Beach with free parking, restrooms, and a wide stretch of shoreline. Walk 13 minutes to Dulce Dough for donuts, 14 to Monkey Wrench for bikes, or just 11 to Southern Soul BBQ—the place Guy Fieri called a “cathedral of smoke.” Porch, Bubba Garcia’s, and Gnat’s Landing are all within a 3-minute drive.
