April 28th, 2025

The Golden Isles are a summer favorite for good reason. Between St. Simons’ oak-canopied streets and Jekyll’s unspoiled beaches, there’s something for every type of beachgoer. Start by finding the right home base – the perfect property can transform a good vacation into a great one!

Find Your Island Match

The Golden Isles shine brightest in summer! Choose from properties that fit every vacation style and enjoy the best seasonal activities and restaurants these beautiful islands have to offer.

St. Simons Island balances natural beauty with convenience, offering many dining and retail options alongside beautiful beaches. St. Simons features an impressive range of vacation properties – from oceanfront condos and beachside cottages to spacious homes with private pools and exclusive amenities.

Jekyll Island preserves 65% of its land in natural state. This conservation-focused island offers less developed beaches, extensive bike trails, and historic sites.
