Tabby Shack SSI Overview
If you’re planning a visit to Saint Simons Island, GA and looking for a place to stay, I know the cutest house for you to rent. Located on the south end of SSI, Tabby Shack exudes a breezy, coastal charm that captures the essence of island living. If you’re looking for comfortable beach vibes, this is the rental house for you.
Arrival
Checking in to Tabby Shack is incredibly easy and contactless, as the door has a code that is programmed for each new set of guests. Kelly and Adam are quick to communicate if there are any issues.
Your Hosts
Kelly and Adam are personal friends of mine; I met Kelly in the Penn State Atlanta alumni group in 2006. Residents of Atlanta, Kelly and Adam love coming to SSI with their son. They take tremendous pride in their home and they’re excited to share it with their guests.
The Home
Tabby Shack was completely renovated in 2021 and has a casual coastal vibe. You’ll enter the house in a beautifully decorated mudroom that opens up to a large family room and dining/kitchen area. Every piece of furniture, lamp, and decoration sets the tone for a relaxing getaway.
With a large sectional and giant 4K large screen TV, you can enjoy a cozy night in on days where the weather isn’t ideal. The fully-equipped kitchen allows you to have home-cooked meals if you don’t want to venture out.
The primary bedroom includes a king-sized bed and an oasis-like bathroom with a massive updated shower. Down the hall you’ll find two additional bedrooms: one with a queen-sized bed and the other with twin beds, perfect for kids. Next to these is a full bathroom with a tub shower.
Outside
The side patio has a gas grill and table so you can enjoy lunch or dinner, but I think the best part of the house may just be the fenced in backyard. With a heated pool (heating is an additional fee) and various seating options, you’ll really feel like you’re on vacation.
There are two lounge chairs, a large dining table, and an adorable area under one of the palm trees where you can sit and enjoy the view of the pool. If you need to rinse off, there’s a really cool outdoor shower that is built onto a classic surfboard.
At night, the pool and palm trees are illuminated, creating the perfect setting to enjoy drinks or a good book.


























Takeaway
If you’re looking for a comfortable house to rent on Saint Simons Island with the ultimate coastal vibes and a private pool, you will LOVE staying at Tabby Shack. Perfect for a family or group of friends, this modern beach house has everything you need to have an incredible stay on the island.
