Steps to the Ocean and Pier Village! In the heart of the island!

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. Reservations between Memorial Day and Labor Day may request a complimentary punch pass to access the Neptune Park Fun Zone located in the Pier Village.

The coastal paneling of the exterior and decorative railings to match sit in lovely contrast to the surrounding lush foliage and towering palm trees. The porch provides a wonderful view when you're settled into comfortable patio furniture, sipping a cup of coffee, and enjoying your day to the fullest.
Interior Amenities
Stepping through the front door, those who book A Summer Hour Retreat will find a home away from home dedicated to light, space, and island-inspired style waiting to greet them. The living room of Summer Hour Retreat is found on the main floor and includes a collection of large windows and glass doors leading out to the front porch providing ample natural light during the daytime hours. Two plush blue sofas are settled on the sleek hardwood flooring and in front of a large flat-screen television for added entertainment value.

The fully-stocked kitchen takes a coastal modern approach to design and includes a collection of high-end stainless steel appliances paired with sleek wood countertops and glass-front cabinetry. When it's time to dine, guests can pick and choose between one of two dining spaces with seating for 10 guests. The dining table offers seating for 6 while the second den offers seating for 4 at the breakfast table.

Bedrooms in the home are situated on the upper level. When it's time to rest up for a day of fun ahead, the spacious primary bedroom in this property features a king bed and a full bath complete with dual shower heads and an oversized shower. This room also provides access to a private balcony with Atlantic views. Two guest bedrooms, featuring a King bed (with a private balcony) and the other bedroom featuring two twin beds, are spacious and comfortable. In the garage area, guests will have access to a great game space including a ping pong table, music, a Coca-Cola bottle cap card table, and corn hole.

Perfect VRBO
Exceptional location in a quiet neighborhood, walk to dinner nightly. Great communication with property manager, easy check in/out process. Property just as in pictures. Comfy beds, great bath towels, master bathroom shower fantastic. Spacious house with a very well stocked kitchen. Board games for all ages, ping pong, cornhole, etc. Movie selections/streaming options a nice touch - plenty of space for a very relaxing trip. Highly recommend!

Very well appointed home with just about anything you could possibly need to enjoy your stay. The outdoor sitting areas were delightful, the kitchen very well appointed, the master and second bedroom spacious. Location quiet and proximity to the village an extra bonus. Definitely a repeat!

Terrific location near Mallery St
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.

Summer Hour Retreat gets our vote!
Perfect place to stay in St. Simons Island. Quick walk to the Pier, close to restaurants and shops. The house is lovely. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Just so you know there are a lot of exterior and interior stairs.

November visit
Very nice property tho the list of rules seemed endless - mostly just common sense. There were 2 coffee makers but no coffee. In fact no basic supplies at all, except some dried herbs etc. We didn’t want to buy lots of food as we were only there 4 days, so a few pods of coffee would have been appreciated. Most vrbos I’ve stayed at supply some necessities, and most residents leave stuff they can’t use. Very spacious house in great location.
