Charming Island Retreat Near the Ocean & Pier Village!

Welcome to A Summer Hour Retreat! Visitors to St. Simons Island who are looking to stay in the heart of the fun will find that A Summer Hour Retreat keeps you close to the excitement while still offering a tranquil getaway that's one of a kind. This 3-bed, 2.5-bath retreat is a great home for up to 6 guests to enjoy and is just a few short blocks from restaurants, shops, Neptune Park Fun Zone, and of course the Atlantic Ocean.

Family had a great stay at this property as we were in town for a golf tournament at Sea Island Resort. Great location for access to the Pier and downtown area. Very clean and communication with the property manager was excellent. Seamless check in/check out process. Will definitely stay again when we return to St. Simon's.

Our family came to celebrate our parents 60th Anniversary. They live at Marshes Edge and we wanted to have a place for the whole family to spend time together during the day. We had an amazing time. The house was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. Everyone loved the close proximity to the village and beach.

I could not recommend this house more. Our favorite property we’ve stayed!

Loved that it had two king size beds, which would make it great if a mother-in-law was coming along, or for a trip of two couples with or without children. Our twelve year-old was with us, and he loved that this location allowed him to walk everywhere. Space is abundant, so you are not on top of one another. Bring coffee pods, because there was a Keurig machine without them.

Overall, a great property. Big rooms, very comfortable place. Superb walking distance to Mallery St and the beach…although it was too cold for the beach the weekend we stayed there. Would most definitely rent here again.
