Cozy Ground Floor Condo, gated w/pool, fitness, tennis, 2 bikes, Pet-Friendly!

I'm a real estate broker, a wife, a dog mom, and I have a real obsession with Travel. Our vacation rental career began with a small condo on St Simons Island in 2019 that we were playing around with. That endeavor evolved into several properties with a growing desire for more. So far, I haven't found anything more fun in my life then hosting guests.

We owned one of these units back in 2021-2023 & sold it to buy a larger, free-standing home in Sea Palms Golf Resort. I always loved this community, for everything it offers, including the trees, spanish moss, shade & quiet/private location, tucked away from the hustle & bustle of the Island, but still close enough for good walkability & bike riding. So when the time came to acquire another property, I went right back to Island Retreat.

It's ground floor, which I really really love, as there are zero steps. It's got a great floor plan with two bedroom suites that provide privacy, but the cozy little nook off the family room with the twin trundle bed is so perfect for kids, we've set it up to be really family-friendly, with a pack-n-play, high chair & games. Having the pool, fitness center & playground within a few steps of the unit makes it really nice to keep kids occupied. There is hardly ever anyone using the pool or other amenities, so you kind of have it all to yourself most of the time. I also love that it has a car vac, because we know what the beach will do to your car, so it's so nice to be able to vacuum all that sand out before heading home. I really like that there is a green space behind our unit for grilling and picnicking and that the bike storage is right there.
