Marshfront Coastal Retreat on Saint Simons Island

Framed by golden marshland and a private resort-style pool, this coastal estate on Saint Simons Island is designed for slow, beautiful days spent between the water, the sun, and softly layered interiors. Light pours in through walls of windows, reflecting off pale oak floors and creamy textiles, while every room feels tuned to the easy rhythm of island life. It’s the kind of home where you drop your bags, exhale, and immediately know how you’ll spend the next few days.

The main living level is all about openness and connection. A vaulted great room centers the home with tailored sofas, woven lighting, and views that pull your eye toward the marsh. Just beyond, a second sitting room stretches along a wall of glass, creating a quiet vantage point for morning coffee, reading, or watching the light shift across the grasses. The kitchen is unapologetically high-end yet inviting: a large island, premium appliances, brass accents, and open shelving make cooking and gathering feel like part of the experience, not a chore.

Five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms are thoughtfully arranged to welcome both families and friends. Two primary-style suites feel like private retreats, each with generous windows, seating areas, and spa-caliber bathrooms clad in marble, with walk-in showers and soaking tubs. Guest rooms continue the soft coastal palette, while the bunk room is a standout: custom built-ins, layered linens, and plenty of space for younger travelers to claim as their own. Every sleeping space is designed to feel calm, bright, and genuinely comfortable.

Outside, the pool terrace reads like a boutique hotel: a large rectangular pool with tanning ledge, in-water loungers, and sunbeds lined neatly beneath umbrellas. There’s space to dine, space to lounge, and space simply to drift between the water and the shade. Tall fencing and thoughtful landscaping create privacy around the perimeter, while the marsh view opens wide beyond, especially magical in the late afternoon when the sky turns soft and the grasses glow.

From here, the island is at your fingertips. Beaches, bike paths, and the shops and restaurants of the village are just a short drive or ride away, yet the home itself feels peacefully removed. It’s a place for multigenerational trips, design-loving friend getaways, and anyone who wants their time on Saint Simons to feel both deeply relaxing and quietly luxurious, where coming “home” at the end of the day is one of the best parts of the stay.
