Perfect location in St Simons

We visited the island for the first time between Christmas & New Years, myself, husband, our 5 adult children and 2 GFs. I loved the layout of the house, there was plenty of room and each bedroom had it's own bathroom.

Wonderful property and great layout

We really enjoyed being able to get away for quiet time from the beach and enjoy the pool on site. The bedrooms are wonderfully laid out with space enough between them for privacy. We will definitely be interested in staying here again should we come back to St Simons.

June 2024 - 5 stars

We took our two 10-year old boys for a special birthday weekend. The house was perfect for us. We loved the layout of the main level, the front deck and private backyard and pool. Easy walk to the beach. Just a great space all around with the open kitchen and family room and screened porch overlooking the pool. Thanks for a great stay!

Live Oak Retreat-Fantastic Stay

This is fantastic property, one of if not the best we've stayed in at St. Simons. It's perfect for multiple families, as each bedroom is spacious and has access to its own bathroom. The best we've stayed at that regard. Living area could use a slightly larger table for meals and some slightly more comfortable furniture. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Best Family vacation

The pictures don't do the house and neighborhood justice - it is magical! We had several family members meet here for this vacation, we had plenty of space, great beds and bathrooms. The pool was amazing and lovely everyone to play in. Easy beautiful walk to the beach, actually close to many points of entry! East Beach is full of beautiful homes and landscaping and is a great place for walking, biking, golf carting, all of it. You are very close to a couple of amazing parks for kids playgrounds, tennis, Pickleball, all the fun! Near so many fantastic restaurants, a couple of great grocery stores, coffee shops. We are already planning our next trip to St Simons Island, we are in love!

East Bend Immersion

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in East Bend. The house was lovely, the pool was warm, and the beach is right there. Great place to relax with the family. We rented bikes to get to morning coffee and explored the restaurants and local shops. We would definitely go back again. Appreciate the property manager flexibility in extending our stay and all their recommendations.

Live Oak family vacay

We had an incredible family stay at Live Oak! The porch is just as amazing as the pictures show. The beach is a close walk but I would recommend a golf cart rental to watch the sunset at Ghouls Inlet!
