You’ll love being just 10 minutes from the island’s sandy beaches, the charming village area, local shopping, and a variety of delicious restaurants.
Inside, the home welcomes you with light-filled living spaces, tasteful coastal décor, and an open floor plan that makes gathering effortless. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped for preparing fresh meals to enjoy together after a day of sun and sand.

The home comfortably accommodates up to six guests, featuring a relaxing primary suite with a plush king-size bed, an HD Smart TV, and a beautifully updated en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Two inviting guest bedrooms, each with a cozy queen bed, share a modern hall bathroom, ensuring everyone has their own space to rest and recharge.

Step outside to discover your own private backyard oasis. Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and a manicured lawn, the fenced yard boasts a sparkling pool and spa that can be heated upon request for an additional $65 per day, perfect for a refreshing dip or an evening soak under the stars. There’s plenty of space to lounge in the sun, enjoy a cookout on the grill, or gather around the outdoor dining table by the pool, which comfortably seats six for memorable al fresco meals.

Whether you’re looking to spend your days exploring the island or staying tucked away in your own piece of paradise, Rivera Retreat offers the ideal getaway to experience St. Simons Island like a local, relaxed, comfortable, and truly memorable.

Winter retreat
The house is truly adorable. We enjoyed the yard and landscaping. Too cold to use the spa or pool. Everything was immaculate, good flow and comfortable.

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for sharing your stay at Rivera Retreat. We are so glad you loved the home and that everything felt immaculate, comfortable, and easy to settle into. It makes us happy to hear you were able to enjoy the yard and landscaping too, even with the winter chill. We would love to have you back again, hopefully next time when it is warm enough to soak in the spa and enjoy the pool.

Perfect weekend
We booked Riviera Retreat at the last minute, for Labor Day weekend. What a beautiful property! Everything is clean, new and in great condition. The pool and hot tub were wonderful and sitting in the enclosed back porch was our favorite part. Sitting out there for morning coffee was so relaxing. The rooms are spacious and the kitchen was fully stocked. The neighborhood is so nice, as is the whole island, and very safe and friendly. We will definitely be back soon and 100% recommend staying there.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Riviera Retreat!

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon for another wonderful St. Simons getaway!

What a lovely home
This property is just wonderful. The beds were comfortable, it was open and spacious without being gigantic, and I loved all the fans. They supplied some essentials which is a really nice touch. The pool and spa were perfect. We loved it.

Great
Waterfall from hot tub to pool was hardly ever on. The lights in the pool only worked the last night we were there. I think the guests should be able to control those two things instead of having to call and feel like they are being a nuisance. Other than those two minor fixable things the place was amazing. Relaxing, and the pictures of the house were spot on to its real appearance. Beautiful home. Everyone in my family enjoyed every minute of it. Very very happy

Manager Response:  Thank you for sharing your experience at Rivera Retreat. We are so glad to hear the home was a beautiful and relaxing space for your family and that it matched your expectations. We appreciate your feedback about the pool features and completely understand how having direct access would make things easier - we will pass this feedback along to our team. It means a lot to know your family enjoyed every moment, and we would love to welcome you back to St. Simons Island again soon.
