This immaculate south-island favorite for guests from near and far is a spacious two-level, 4-bedroom and 3-bath cottage with a private pool (12x24) that checks every box on the list. Shayna Playa sits only a half mile from the Pier Village. If you’re up for a walk, impeccable dining, shopping, and beach hopping are no more than a 9-minute stroll from the front door. A stay at Shayna Playa makes it a breeze for guests to easily balance time outside exploring and spending time indoors cozied up in style.

Exterior Features

The freshly painted exterior (2024) of Shayna Playa is paired with inviting brick accents which provide for an eye-catching contrast within its lush surroundings. While guests never have to travel far from Shayna Playa to find exciting stops to explore, there’s also plenty of fun to be found right on-site. This home features two sprawling front porches to relax, sip coffee and enjoy conversation with friends. The backyard is equipped with a private swimming pool (12x24) which can be heated for an additional fee of $45/night. Lounge chairs are settled around the pool and a poolside gas grill offers up a chance to make for a savory alfresco moment during any stay.

Space, light, and a collection of tasteful furnishings are yours to enjoy from the moment you step through the door of Shayna Playa. An open concept design with high ceilings and a combination of hardwood floors and tile flooring throughout makes for easy entertaining. The living room in this home away from home features two cozy gray sofas settled around a sleek gray coffee table and in front of a large flat-screen television when guests are up for some added entertainment. A collection of board games is found stocked in the living room, ideal for enjoying some friendly competition while the chef amongst your group prepares a savory meal in the fully equipped kitchen. This culinary space pairs white cabinetry with stainless steel appliances and beautiful countertops matched with a white tile backsplash. When it’s time to enjoy a meal, the dining room table is suitable for eight guests with additional dining on the screen porch for four. 

Getting a rest is simple in Shayna Playa. While all of the bedrooms are inviting, the oversized primary suite upstairs hosts a king bed, oversized walk-in-closet and massive luxury en suite bath with double vanity.

Fall getaway to St Simon
Absolutely beautiful property! Extremely clean and welcoming. Loved the heated pool. Loved the location being so close to the pier and the public beach access. We did discover a leak in the jacuzzi tub the first night and the property management was easy to contact by phone and by text. I would definitely rent this property again.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Shayna Playa! We're thrilled you enjoyed this property, its welcoming atmosphere, and the convenience of being close to the pier and beach.  We are so glad you enjoyed the heated pool as well!  We appreciate your understanding with the jacuzzi tub, and we're glad our team could assist quickly. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we'd love to welcome you back again in the future!

Beautiful rental. Loved the heated pool! The only negative was the dishwasher didn’t work. We were going to use it the last night there to wash up our breakfast dishes and it ran a code of some kind. But we ate out with all the wonderful restaurants available. Would definitely rent again and recommend to any one looking for a place on St. Simons.

Manager Response:  Thank you so much for your kind review and for being our guest at Shayna Playa! We're so glad you loved the rental and the heated pool! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the location and had a great time exploring the local restaurants.  We apologize for the inconvenience with the dishwasher and will make sure it is fixed for future guests.  Thank you for your kind words and for recommending our property. We hope we can welcome you back for another enjoyable stay soon!

The house was perfect for our family of 10, with the pool at the house. The only complaint is the living room furniture. It’s very uncomfortable and needs to be replaced or the seat cushions re-stuffed.

We appreciate your comments about the living room furniture and will look into addressing this to ensure future guests have a more comfortable experience.

Perfect Place to Stay
The process was so easy and any responses to our questions were answered in a timely manner. The house was pretty spotless and located in an awesome area. We rented golf carts and were able to get to the restaurants and beach in minutes since everything was so close. Would definitely stay there again.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Shayna Playa!  We are so glad this was the perfect place for you all and that you enjoyed the great location too.  It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

The property was great. Our complaints are kind of nit picky but the AC wouldn’t go below 75 degrees and was only really a problem at night while trying to sleep. Other than that it was a great time and the property is in a great location and peaceful all at the same time.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Shayna Playa.  We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time at the property and found the location both great and peaceful. We apologize for the inconvenience with the AC. We appreciate your understanding and we will make sure to have it checked to ensure a more comfortable experience for future guests.  It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope we can welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

St. Simons Vacation
The property was just as the listing described. Very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The location was convenient to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The property management team communicated with us throughout the week to make sure everything was going well. We really enjoyed our stay.

Manager Response: Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Shayna Playa! It means a lot to us that the property matched your expectations and provided everything you needed for a relaxing vacation.  A convenient location and clear communication are key to a great experience, so we're glad we delivered on both!  It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to see you again soon!

Great house and close walk to beach
Overall this house was terrific. It has tons of space, was very clean, and has a nice pool. It's close to the beach, about a 10 minute walk, or if you have a golf cart you can be there in no time. It's even walkable to some of the restaurants, if you like to walk. If not, it's not further than about a 5 minute drive to everything you could want or need. The only issues we had was that it's on a relatively busy street (for St. Simons) and you can hear a decent amount of road noise. And it's next to another rental, the first people that were beside us were nice and quiet but when they left and the next group came in, we weren't as lucky and had to stay inside because of the foul language and couldn't enjoy the pool. Just the luck of the draw with these things. And a neighbor's dog barked most every single night. Again, not really the house's fault, just the way things go sometimes. But overall, the house was fantastic and a very nice property, just some neighbor issues to consider.

Manager Response: Thank you for your detailed review and for being our guest at Shayna Playa. We're delighted to hear that you found the house spacious, clean, and that you all enjoyed the pool. We are so glad you enjoyed the proximity to the beach and local amenities as well. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by noise from the street and neighboring properties. We understand these factors can impact your experience, and we appreciate your understanding. We will be sure to address these issues where possible to enhance future guests' experiences. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope to welcome you back again next time you visit St. Simons!

Very responsive property management company
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean and a good size for three couples. The pool was nice and very clean. The management company was very easy to deal with and had great communication. We did have an issue with one AC unit when we checked in. The management company responded very quickly even though it was late in the evening and had a technician out first thing in the morning to make repairs. The couches in the great room should be replaced. They are worn and have very little support when you sit on them. Overall it was a great place and we would definitely stay there again.

Manager Response: Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Shayna Playa! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cleanliness and spaciousness of this property. We sincerely appreciate your suggestions regarding the couches, and it is definitely something we will consider replacing to ensure even greater comfort for our guests. We are so glad our team's responsiveness met your needs, and we're glad we could quickly resolve the AC issue for you all as well. It was a pleasure hosting you all and we hope we can welcome you back next time you visit St. Simons!

Beautiful house and pool
Our extended family came down for March Break and loved every minute at this house. The high ceilings, large porches, and beautiful finishes have us ready for our next visit. The kitchen even had a little tea pot for the tea drinker (me). I would highly recommend paying to heat the pool. It was well worth it to us as we used it every day.

Great home
We enjoyed our stay at Shayna Playa. Great location very nice home! The only thing is the advertisement for the reservation says two of the guest beds are queen beds but they are actually full size, because we measured the width. We made it work but keep that in mind when you book.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your review and for being our guest at Shayna Playa.  We are so glad you enjoyed this home and its location!  We appreciate your input regarding the bed size.  We will be sure to double check that information on our end as well to ensure that information is correctly listed on our website.  Thank you again for your review and staying with us at Shayna Playa.  We hope we can host you all again next time you are in St. Simons!

We enjoyed a fun girls' weekend in St. Simon's and this was the perfect house. We had plenty of room and everything was extremely clean. We appreciated the beautiful, well-appointed kitchen as we had several meals at the house. We also loved the pool. Close enough for a quick drive to the downtown area and no problems with parking.

Great Location, Great Property
Fantastic, well-appointment property that's close to everything. The fact that the parking is around the back was super convenient and gave us plenty of space for 2 cars, a large golf cart + 4 rented bikes. Kitchen was well stocked and included the basics like cooking oil/seasonings/coffee filters, which is always appreciated. Updated appliances, great AC (which was needed as we had 3x days above 100 degrees), clean linens + plenty of beach towels. The only very minor thing we missed was beach chairs, which previous rentals in SSI have included - just make sure to plan accordingly. Overall a fantastic stay, highly recommended!

For the most part our stay was enjoyable. The only negative was that the upstairs queen bed was so wore out and uncomfortable to sleep on. The property manager was very responsive but they couldn’t resolve this issue for us unfortunately. Other than that it was the perfect location and walkable to everything we wanted to do.

Manager Response: Thank you for your review and for being our guest a Shayna Playa! We are so glad to hear you had an enjoyable experience overall but are so sorry you found the bed to be uncomfortable during your stay.

Great location and heated pool is definitely worth the money!
Opted to pay for the heated pool, and it was definitely worth it. Outside temp was 58 degrees at night, but the pool water was warm enough that even when I got out to go back in the house, I did not get uncomfortably cold. The pool is lit, which is great for those evenings when the sun is going down early. The house was very clean and a nicely updated.

Excellent!
We, a family of six, were thoroughly pleased with Shayna Playa and the very efficient staff at Lilmar Properties. We had rented another property thru VRBO only to receive notice at 11:00 p.m. the night before we were to check in that the property wasn’t available and that they didn’t have an acceptable replacement. Fortunately we found Lilmar properties and they jumped through hoops to find a place at the last minute and get it cleaned in time for our afternoon check in! And the best part is the house was just what we wanted. Extremely clean, in a great location, and all the amenities that we wanted.

Manager Response:  Thank you for your 5 star review, Jack!  We are so glad that we were able to accommodate you and your family and that Shayna Playa was the perfect spot for you all.  We hope to see you all again soon!

Our family had a wonderful stay here. Everyone had their own comfortable room to sleep in. The kitchen big enough for us all to cook in. The pool was just a cherry on top of a great time in a great place. Thank you.

Great place
The place and the location were great. The pool was the best-totally saved our stay because the weather was soooo bad the whole time we were there. We cranked the pool up to 92 and it was really really nice. Only problem with the place was that the TV sets weren’t working quite right. The one in the downstairs bedroom was not a smart tv and we couldn’t actually get it to do anything at all. The others barely worked. Wouldn’t have mattered normally, but, again, it was really bad weather. Overall, we loved the place and would totally go back!

Manager Response: Thank you for your 5 star review, Vicki! We are so glad you were able to enjoy the pool, despite the weather not being great. We appreciate the feedback on the tv's as well. It could have been because of the bad weather, but we will look into that so it isn't a problem for future guests. We hope to see you all again soon!

Such a beautiful house! Spacious, very clean & bright. Hot water was slow to heat and the queen/full bed upstairs felt odd - very bouncy. But truly those two items paled when there were so many other positives. Great location - quiet & away from the busy areas but close to ride a bike or walk. Thanks - Kelly & Friends

Best beach vacay!!
We had the perfect week here!! The property was very clean and location was perfect! We rented a golf cart and had a great time! The pool was a huge plus and the realty company was super responsive!! Only suggestion is to put a tv in the upstairs queen bedroom since the others all had tvs. We will be back here for sure!

The perfect beach week!
We stayed here for our first time visiting St Simons with my family and it was great! Upon arrival everything was very clean and the property looked just like the pictures! The management company was very responsive during our stay and made sure to address anything we needed. The pool was our fav!! So spacious and had enough chairs for all 7 of us. I just wish there was a tv in the upstairs bedroom with the queen bed as the master and the downstairs bedroom had one but that’s my only suggestion. We rented a golf cart as well and the house was in a perfect location as we rode them all week! We will def be back to stay here!

Manager Response:  Thank you for your 5 star review, Leslie!  We are so glad you had such a wonderful first time in St. Simons!  Shayna Playa is the perfect spot and we are so glad you loved everything about the house and location.  We hope to see you all again soon!

Great Place near the beach
We loved the rooms, and space the home has. Everything was clean and well maintained. Some small complaints would be the outdoor shower is opposite of the pool and it's at the edge of a deck so falls could happen while trying to wash the sand off. Also, the water pressure in the showers could be better. All in all, it's a great place and we definitely enjoyed St. Simons.

Nice House, Great Location
Kids, parents, and Grandparents stayed in this large house for a week. The pool was a perfect size for 4 kiddos and a few adults. The house had many more items available than what was listed like dishwasher pods and laundry pods. We cooked at least two meals a day for 10 people. The upstairs children’s bunk room was VERY hot. No matter how many fans we tried, it was stifling. The rest of the house was perfectly comfortable. Parking was ample for 3 cars, and the kids really enjoyed our trip. Thanks for quick responses and a great time!

Manager Response: Thank you for your review, Patricia! We are so glad this house was a great fit for you all and the kids enjoyed the pool too! We are so sorry about the upstairs not cooling down for you all - we will be sure to make note of that so it isn't a problem for future guests. We hope to see you all again soon!

Nice, clean home. Walk to beach access is a manageable shady walk. We rented a golf cart, which worked out great, with parking a beach access. The pool is on the smaller side but worked out great for a mix of adults and small children. We enjoyed our stay and would rent again.

Wonderful location
There isn't anything bad I can say about this property except the queen size needs to be replaced, lol. It is the squeakiest bed I have ever heard of, but sleeps wonderfully! We loved the location and especially the front porch sitting. The pool was our youngest daughter's favorite part. We enjoyed our stay and plan to book this home again in the future. Worth every penny spent!

Manager Response: Thank you for your 5 star review, Susan! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Shayna Playa! It really is an awesome vacation rental, and those porches are perfect for relaxing morning or evening. Thank you for the feedback as well on the queen size bed being squeaky.

Beautiful home
Took a girls trip to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. There were 7 of us and it was plenty comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the close walk to lighthouse/pier. Only challenge was finding the key to get in when we arrived. Also the queen size bed upstairs could use to be replaced. Overall the place was perfect!

We're happy to hear that the birthday celebration visit at Shayna Playa was a success, Betty! We appreciate all your positive feedback, and will certainly look into the 2nd floor queen bed. Thank you for the 5-Star review and we hope to see you again!

Perfect House for the Family
This was the perfect house for our stay in St Simone. The location was perfect and the house even better. Plenty of room to spread out kitchen was fully stocked and the pool was my boys favorite! Only thing that was a ‘problem’ was we were not told where the lock box was. It is hidden behind vines on the lattice across from the back door. It took us about 15 min to find it. We did get a call about it after I left a VM but we already found it by then. Great service when we needed the pool heated higher they were out in less then 10 min…don’t pass this house up it’s perfect!!

Thank you for the 5-star rating and great review, Rachel! Glad everything resolved and that you and the family enjoyed your stay!

This house is a wonderful place to stay while you vacation on St. Simon! The location is amazing!!! You can easily walk to many restaurants to get something to eat or just get an ice cream after dinner at home! It is minutes away from all the stores of any kind you many need as well as lots of great beaches! The house is super clean, has plenty of room, and the pool is wonderful to have. Although the pool is small it is big enough for your family to jump in and cool off and for the kids to play in happily! We will definitely be renting this fabulous home again!

Gorgeous home! Great Location
We could not have asked for a better home and experience on St. Simons. The home was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed for our family of 5. It was spotless upon arrival. We loved the location; just walking or biking the neighborhood streets. We also loved taking a bike ride into Pier Village nearby. The pool was a huge hit with the kids and just the perfect size. We loved the swinging chairs on the upstairs balcony; taking turns reading and snoozing in them. Parking was convenient, in back of the house. The kitchen had new appliances and was so easy to cook in. The farm table was also great for family game night. We will definitely return to this little gem and St. Simons!

Our Favorite Island Vacation Home!!
This property truly has it all! We loved being able to walk to the village for meals, and shoppings, as well as walking to the beach for fun in the sun. The multiple outdoor living spaces really make you feel like you're on vacation. The upper deck has the most comfortable hammock chairs that we found perfect for reading, and napping. We requested that the pool be heated during our stay, and it was perfect. The beds are all super comfortable with nice linens. The large laundry room was wonderful, and the upstairs wet bar made our evening happy hour so convenient. Everything about this property is perfect! We can't wait to visit this amazing property again soon!
