Most visitors to St. Simons Island prefer to stay on the south end of the island within walking or biking distance to the beaches, shopping, restaurants, and the Pier Village area.  Most of the properties that we manage in our portfolio are located on the south end, but we do offer some wonderful properties near other island locations such as the desirable golf course neighborhood of Sea Palms.  It's really up to you to Discover YOUR Island Lifestyle!
