About this property

6 houses off East Beach | Fully Renovated 1920's Cottage | Pet Friendly

Discover the coastal charm of Mary's House, located at 1729 Bruce Drive. This delightful vacation home, professionally managed by Emmons Realty, resides on East Beach, St. Simons most desirable neighborhood. The home is a 3-bedroom oasis inviting you to soak in the laid-back island vibes, all while being provided all the modern comforts.

Situated only 6 houses from the 5th street beach access and less than a mile from local treasures like Barrier Island Brewing, Fiddlers, the Beachcomber, and several other island favorites, the location immerses you in the local culture and leisure. The home provides parking for 3 cars.

As you step onto the property, a large screened-in front porch welcomes you. With seating for ten, a vintage swing for two, and an antique cooler, the porch may provide enough entertainment for your entire stay.

Inside, a very comfortable living room opens, with plenty of seating and a large TV. Right next to it, a dining area waits with a table for six, and a kitchen bar for three more. The kitchen is ready for anything with a coffee maker, blender, electric wok, and crockpot.

Sleep comes easy in the three tastefully done-up bedrooms with two king beds and one queen bed. The main bathroom has a vintage feel with a modern tub/shower combo and a fresh pedestal sink. A second bathroom boasts a refreshing walk-in shower.

The final room of the home, the sun porch is the spot to be with a twin daybed and another large TV. It’s air-conditioned for warmer days.

The home includes a full sized Washer and Dryer and Wireless Internet.

Out back, a small porch holds a charcoal grill, perfect for BBQ nights.

Every one of our properties is furnished with a “starter kit” of supplies so that you don't have to run to the store at the start of your vacation.

2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom
1 roll of paper towels
2 trash bags
2 laundry detergent pods
2 dishwasher soap pods

The property Was not as expected,

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, it was a decent experience. Several issues need to be addressed. The garbage disposal did not work, which was a problem. The outside grill did not have a grate for the charcoal. The house smelled very musty and the outside yard was very messy and unkempt. unfortunately, we were there during the construction of a fence right next to us. We did enjoy the screened in front porch. There was no backyard at all, which was not indicated in the pictures or description. But one of the major things was that there was not a railing going up the steps to the front door. I needed assistance going up and down the stairs each time. Do building codes not require rails to help enable handicap people?

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed here a week after Hurricane Helen-everything was nice. The internet wasn't working correctly (not their fault post hurricane) so they immediately brought me a hot spot! The hot water could be a few degrees warmer-only complaint.

We love Mary's House!

We really enjoyed out time at Mary's House! It is a perfect East Beach location, with an easy trek to a lovely uncrowded beach. The house itself has lots of charm and was a great fit for our family of five plus our dog. The kitchen has all the necessities, including a crock pot to save you from worrying about dinner after a long day on the beach. And the house was absolutely spotless when we arrived. Thanks for a wonderful week. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Best beach vacation!

Mary’s House is an adorable cottage with a welcoming front porch (screened), clean and comfortable furnishings, well-resourced kitchen, and a perfect location in East Beach. We spent almost two weeks this summer relaxing and enjoying all that SSI has to offer. House is located in an ideal location to great restaurants. We will definitely return and offer high praise!

A Perfect Beach Home

This was the perfect beach home for our family vacation. It was exactly what we needed for our family of six and two pups. It was a short walk to the beach and a short drive to all of the restaurants and shops. Everything we needed during our stay was available in the home. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

This is the third or fourth time I have stayed at the property, it is what a beach house should be, nice, clean, plenty of space and a charcoal grill! My dog loves the front porch as I read the afternoon's away.

East Beach Cottage

We had a great experience at this property and Ben was always available. Our one problem was a bed had not been changed prior to our arrival and we had to change the sheets, hence to 4 stars for cleanliness. Other than that, which was an easy fix, we recommend this property and hope to stay there again.

Cute Cottage

We enjoyed our stay and the reason I did not give it 5 stars is because there was a ceiling leak in one of the bedrooms I’m guessing it was the air condition condensation. Overall cute place .

Quaint, vintage beach cottage was the perfect place to make lots of special memories! The location was outstanding too. Easy beach access and so much fun going down to the pier village by golf cart and exploring the island was so easy from our location also.

St Simons spring break

Quaint cozy comfortable cottage. Perfect location FOR US , in East Beach near friends. Walk to beach was thru a swampy ,buggy area - which is just part of the area. The hot water was a little inconsistent , which is understandable for an older home, so for a winter stay that may be an issue w/ showers. The adjacent lot is apparently a storage lot which may prove unsightly for some , but just close the blinds & it's outta sight outta mind. Our gang had a blast & thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would absolutely love to stay here again.
