Mother’s Day is coming up fast. Instead of the usual gifts, why not bring mom to the Golden Isles for a weekend?

Not sure where to start? We know every mom is different, so we’ve put together some ideas for where to stay and what to do based on what your mom loves most. From beach lovers to nature explorers, we’ve got you covered with the right rental and fun activities to match!

For the Supermom Who Deserves a Break

She’s the one who juggles a dozen tasks before breakfast, somehow finds missing shoes two minutes before you need to leave. This mom who handles the endless daily demands with grace (most days) deserves a vacation where she can press pause on responsibilities and simply exhale.

Our luxury properties offer the offer the Mother’s Day experience she deserves. These high-end vacation homes feature upscale furnishings, stunning views, and exclusive amenities that set them apart.

For the Wellness Warrior Mom

She’s the one who makes sure everyone takes their vitamins, knows which foods help you sleep better, and actually uses that fitness app subscription. This mom prioritizes health for the whole family and deserves a getaway where she can focus on her own wellbeing too.

Our St. Simons Island beach rentals with ocean views let moms start each day with barefoot beach walks at sunrise. Properties with spacious decks offer perfect spots for relaxing and watching the waves.

For the Memory Keeper Mom

She’s the family historian who captures every milestone, plans exciting activities, and ensures family traditions continue year after year. She deserves a vacation filled with picture-perfect moments!

Our Village Area Properties put you right in the heart of it all. Stay within walking distance of local shops, great restaurants, the St. Simons Pier, and the historic lighthouse. While you’re exploring, keep an eye out for the famous Tree Spirits – intricate faces carved into oak trees throughout the island that make for unique family photo opportunities!

For the Nature-Loving Mom

She’s the one who points out dolphin fins on the horizon, knows which birds are migrating through the marshes this month, and finds peace in the rustling of oak leaves. This mom teaches everyone to appreciate the natural wonders all around us and deserves a vacation surrounded by the diverse ecosystems of the Golden Isles.

Our Jekyll Island vacation rentals place nature-loving moms in the heart of one of Georgia’s most unspoiled coastal environments. With convenient access to maritime forests and the famous Driftwood Beach, these properties are perfect for moms who find joy in natural beauty.

For the Dog Mom

She’s the mom who considers four-legged family members just as important as two-legged ones, who packs the dog’s suitcase before her own, and who’s always on the lookout for pet-friendly adventures. This Mother’s Day, celebrate the mom who makes sure no family member gets left behind.

Our Pet-friendly Golden Isles vacation rentals welcome the entire family, furry members included. These thoughtfully selected properties offer fenced yards, easy beach access for morning walks, and comfortable spaces where everyone can relax together.

The greatest gift isn’t something wrapped in a box – it’s quality time together creating new memories on our beautiful coastal islands!
