House in Saint Simons Island, GA
Reasons to book
About this house rental
Set between the ocean and a 1,000 acre coastal bird estuary, Serene Oaks is a 4,100 sq ft East Beach estate made for time together. Walk about five minutes to the sand, then return to a private saltwater pool, oversized 10+ person spa, fire table and grill. Three king suites, two queen bedrooms and two twins in an open upstairs lounge sleep up to 12, with a chef's kitchen and generous indoor-outdoor gathering spaces.
The Space:
BETWEEN THE OCEAN AND THE ESTUARY
There are beach houses, and then there are places whose setting becomes part of the vacation.
Serene Oaks sits on an extraordinary stretch of East Beach where 9th Street is only nine homes wide between the Atlantic Ocean and an approximately 1,000-acre coastal bird estuary.
Walk eight homes in one direction and a natural dune path leads toward the beach. Look the other way from the upper deck and the landscape opens through the trees toward the estuary.
This is St. Simons Island at its best. Salt air, moss draped oaks, mornings on the beach and long afternoons with nowhere you need to be.
And Serene Oaks was made for exactly that kind of stay.
THE COURTYARD
At the center of the home is a secluded, resort style courtyard designed for spending the day outside.
Swim in the private saltwater pool. Stretch out on one of eight matching reclining loungers beneath four umbrellas. Sink into the oversized spa after the beach. Grill dinner on the Weber, gather around the terrazzo fire table, or linger over dinner at the outdoor table for eight.
It feels less like a backyard and more like having your own private little hotel pool for the week.
THE HOME
Inside, more than 4,100 square feet gives families and friends room to be together without being on top of one another.
The kitchen is built for a full house, with a large gathering island, premium appliances, gas range, multiple ovens, wine refrigerator, butler’s pantry and a second full size refrigerator and freezer.
There is plenty of room for slow breakfasts, big family dinners, cocktails before heading into the Village and all the snacks that somehow follow a day at the beach.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
Serene Oaks sleeps up to 12 guests with five private bedrooms plus an upstairs sleeping and TV lounge.
• King Suite 1: King bed
• King Suite 2: King bed
• King Suite 3: King bed
• Bedroom 4: Queen bed
• Bedroom 5: Queen bed
• Upstairs TV & Sleeping Lounge: Two twin beds

THE ST. SIMONS RHYTHM
Wake up and walk to East Beach.
Come home sandy and spend the afternoon by the pool.
Open a bottle of wine while dinner is on the grill.
Let the kids play cornhole or shuffleboard while everyone else settles around the courtyard.
End the evening in the spa or around the fire table.
Then wake up and do it all again.
Serene Oaks is not simply a place to sleep while visiting St. Simons.
It is the kind of home that gives everyone enough room to slow down, reconnect and actually enjoy being away together.
Welcome to island time.

The Neighborhood:
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Serene Oaks is located in East Beach, one of St. Simons Island's most sought-after coastal neighborhoods.
This particular portion of 9th Street is especially unusual. The street is only nine homes wide between the Atlantic Ocean and an approximately 1,000-acre coastal bird estuary.
The 9th Street Beach access is just eight homes away, approximately a five-minute walk from the house. Follow the quiet residential street to a natural dune path leading directly to the beach.
From the home's upper deck, guests can enjoy partial views through the trees toward the estuary.
East Beach offers a peaceful residential atmosphere while keeping guests within easy reach of the restaurants, shopping, Pier Village, golf and attractions throughout St. Simons Island.
Getting Around:
The best way to get around the South end of the Island is by golf cart. Golf carts are easily rented for the duration of your stay by one of many rental companies on the island. Beach Cruisers can also be rented and dropped off at the home. The Village, pier and shops are 2 miles from the home.
