Private Saltwater Pool & Backyard Oasis
The centerpiece of Stella's Retreat is the private 16' x 28' saltwater pool. Saltwater is gentler on the skin than a traditional chlorine pool, making it perfect for long summer days spent swimming and relaxing.
The pool's dark gray bottom creates a rich, inviting appearance during the day, while the automatic pool light gives the water a beautiful lavender hue after sunset.
Shellstone pavers extend from the back door and surround the pool, creating a polished resort-style outdoor space. Bamboo and mature landscaping provide privacy, making the backyard feel like your own secluded island retreat.
Covered Outdoor Living
Step outside into one of the home's best spaces: a covered outdoor living room overlooking the pool.
Relax on the porch swing or comfortable outdoor seating beneath the tin roof while two large ceiling fans keep the coastal air moving. A 43-inch HDTV makes it easy to watch your favorite team from the pool, put on a movie for the kids, or unwind outside after a day exploring St. Simons Island.
The outdoor space also includes:
Dining table with seating for 6
Gas grill
Outdoor shower
Porch swing and lounge seating
Two outdoor ceiling fans
TV
Direct access to the pool
When afternoon showers roll through, there's something especially relaxing about hearing the rain hit the tin roof while enjoying the covered porch.
Comfortable Coastal Living Room
Inside, the living room feels warm, relaxed, and distinctly coastal. Oyster tabby floors and an oyster tabby fireplace bring a classic St. Simons Island feel to the space.
A large Pottery Barn sectional and additional chair comfortably seat the group, while a 55-inch Samsung Smart HDTV provides entertainment. High-speed Comcast Xfinity internet keeps everyone connected throughout the stay.
For unplugged evenings, you'll also find books, card games, board games, chess, and checkers.
Newly Renovated & Fully Stocked Kitchen
If you enjoy cooking while traveling, you'll feel right at home here.
The newly renovated kitchen was stocked with real family meals in mind—not just the bare minimum typically found in a vacation rental. You'll have plenty of plates, bowls, cups, silverware, wine glasses, cocktail glasses, mixing bowls, cookware, and serving essentials.
Kitchen amenities include:
Granite countertops
Glass-top electric range and oven
Bosch dishwasher
Microwave
Convection oven
Air fryer
Coffee maker
Blender
Large pantry and cabinet storage
Oversized wooden cutting boards
Whether you're preparing a quick breakfast before the beach, grilling dinner by the pool, or cooking a full family meal, you'll have the space and equipment you need.
Primary King Suite
The spacious primary bedroom features a king-size bed with a custom upholstered headboard, dresser, ceiling fan, 32-inch Smart TV, and a large walk-in closet.
Step outside onto your private balcony, furnished with a table and two chairs. It's a wonderful spot to start the morning with coffee and enjoy the neighborhood before the day's island adventures begin.
The newly renovated primary bathroom includes a porcelain tub, tiled shower with glass barn door, vanity, and toilet.
Queen Guest Bedroom
The second bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, dresser, bedside table, closet, ceiling fan, and 32-inch HDTV with Roku.
Individual bedside sconces make it easy for one person to stay up reading while the other gets some sleep.
Family-Friendly Third Bedroom
The third bedroom was designed with kids in mind but is comfortable for adults as well. It features a full-size bed plus a full-size trundle, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for families and groups.
You'll also find a large dresser, closet, 32-inch HDTV with Roku, children's books, and a charming bay window with a vanity and bench.
The queen and third bedrooms share a newly renovated bathroom with a double vanity and fully tiled shower.
Laundry & Everyday Conveniences
A Samsung VRT Steam washer and dryer are available for guest use, making longer stays and beach days much easier.
With high-speed Wi-Fi, Smart TVs throughout the home, plenty of storage, and thoughtful conveniences, Stella's Retreat is equally comfortable for a quick island getaway or an extended stay.
Prime South End Location Near the St. Simons Village
One of Stella's Retreat's biggest advantages is its South End St. Simons Island location.
The St. Simons Island Village and Pier area is within walking distance, giving you convenient access to some of the island's most popular restaurants, shops, waterfront views, and attractions.
Mallory Park is approximately a five-minute walk, making it especially convenient for families traveling with children.
Beach access on the South End varies with St. Simons Island's tides. The beach near the Pier is accessible at lower tides, while several popular beach areas are just a short bike or car ride away, including:
Myrtle Street Beach
King & Prince Beach
Massengale Park
Coast Guard Station Beach
East Beach
Myrtle Street is approximately 1.2 miles away, or roughly a 20-minute walk, 6-minute bike ride, or 4-minute drive.
Renting bikes or a golf cart is a fun way to explore the island if you plan to spend plenty of time at the beach. If your vacation is centered around the pool, Village, restaurants, shopping, and Pier, you'll find plenty to enjoy without venturing far from the house.
Landscaping & Parking
Professionally designed landscaping surrounds the property, including locally grown St. Augustine grass, boxwood ferns, bamboo, ligustrum, and seasonal Confederate jasmine.
The mature backyard landscaping creates added privacy around the pool and outdoor living area.
A front parking pad provides off-street parking for up to four vehicles.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean and nicely put together — and while we never all gathered in the living room to watch TV or visit, it had that easy, welcoming feel that makes you think you could. The kitchen looks out onto the patio and pool, which turned out to be one of my favorite design details: you could be inside prepping lunch and still feel connected to everyone splashing around out there.The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet — no complaints from anyone on the sleep front. The upstairs master is a generous size with a private bathroom, walk-in closet, and a small balcony that's a nice little bonus.The pool, though. When I was browsing photos before booking I kept coming back to it, and it absolutely delivered. It's a saltwater pool tucked into lush landscaping, with grass along two sides and a stone deck on the others — perfect for spreading out a towel and actually getting some sun. The adjacent patio has plenty of seating, and there's a porch swing that I basically claimed as my own. A picnic table rounds out the outdoor space and gives you options for eating outside, which we took full advantage of.The location is solid, with live oak-lined streets nearby for easy walks into town. The owners were communicative and left clear, straightforward instructions. We'd happily come back.
