    Beautiful brick fireplaceInviting five-bedroom beach cottageBright expansive sunroomPrivate backyard retreatLarge peaceful back porchPrimary suiteLaundry room
    Enjoy the best of Southend St. Simons Island from this inviting five-bedroom beach cottage, just steps from the Pier Village, beaches, and favored local shops and restaurants! Being sold completely furnished, this home is ready to enjoy immediately as a full-time residence, coastal getaway, or vacation rental. With spacious gathering areas, a private backyard retreat, and a floor plan that places everyday essentials on the main level, it offers exceptional convenience and versatility. High ceilings enhance the home's open, airy feel, while the den's vaulted ceiling and beautiful brick fireplace create a welcoming place to gather. From here, the living space flows naturally into the dining area and spacious kitchen, then onto a large, peaceful back porch—making it easy to move from morning coffee to family meals and relaxed evenings outdoors. At the front of the home, a bright, expansive sunroom currently being utilized as an entertainment room. The furnishings, décor, and recreational amenities are included, allowing the next owner to settle in or begin hosting guests without delay. Two generous sized bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (including the primary suite) are conveniently located on the main level, along with the laundry room and two owner storage closets, which are in addition to the ample storage closets and cabinets located throughout the home. French doors open directly from the primary suite onto the back porch, creating a quiet escape just outside your bedroom. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests while allowing privacy for those downstairs. Surrounded by mature tropical landscaping, the fully fenced yard feels like a private island retreat. A tranquil fountain sets the mood for afternoons in a rocking chair or meals on the porch, while an 18-hole putting course just beyond adds a distinctive feature for owners and vacation guests alike. Artificial turf and pavers help keep yard maintenance simple and stress-free. Currently participating in a vacation rental program and consistently producing high revenue, this renovated beach cottage truly has it all! Come and take a look for yourself before it gets scooped up!
