Things to Know

Oversized vehicles or SUVs with racks or boxes will need to use the Cater Street entrance to protect the oak tree. There is an extra pool heating fee of $100 per week (cash to the host on check in). Please let the host know if you require this option. The hosts can stock the fridge prior to your arrival on request. Note that this property does not accept pets and is non-smoking.

About the Location

The residence is in Kelvin Grove, located off Old Demere next to Bloody Marsh in the heart of St. Simon's Island, Georgia. The neighborhood has only one entrance so there is no through traffic. It is an active family neighborhood with kids and homeowners out walking dogs and visiting. The owners live in the area. There are beaches a short drive away and the main town strip, with restaurants and shops, is under a mile away. Car rental is useful for this destination; perhaps the best way to get around is by bike or golf cart rental, which can be arranged in consultation with the host.

Style Notes

Modern classic. The Fig House is a newly renovated mid-century modern located in the Kelvin Grove neighborhood next to Bloody Marsh in the heart of Saint Simon's Island. Clean lines, open living floor plan and carefully designed outdoor living spaces make this house a one-of-a-kind for the area. White walls, succulents, fig trees and wooden accents add character and style. We love the large scale and colorful modern art in the bedrooms and lounge, the cozy family spaces inside and out, the curated plant collections and the mid-century chairs around the kitchen table.

We traveled to the location for work and brought our two little boys and babysitter. The house was perfect for us! We loved the beautiful, yet casual aesthetic. The house had toys and everything we could have needed for our young kids. The outdoor area is beautiful, I felt like we were in a magazine. The perfect mix of beauty and practicality (having a washer and dryer was AMAZING). Ever since we've gotten home our son has asked to go back to the "vacation house" it was that good! We'd love to stay at this home again for a longer period and just for fun :)

We loved the house and the convenience of the location. Well outfitted, comfortable, attractive yet homey. Only suggestion is that the light at the front door is out so it was dark coming in and out at night.

We loved our stay at The Fig House. It was perfect for our family. Bryce and Sara were great hosts and very communicative with us prior to the visit. The house has everything you need to be comfortable: pack n play, high chair, fun toys, puzzles, comfortable beds and a reading nook for adults, beautiful live oaks with Spanish moss (not necessary for comfort but definitely a plus) - we absolutely loved it. Thanks to the Brock family for letting us stay in this little slice of heaven.

The Fig House is a beautiful property - so fun and beautifully decorated! Wish the pool had been a bit warmer, but would probably be better in summer vs. late spring. Fun kids toys, and lots of books for adults to enjoy.

From the moment we arrived, we were enthralled by the fig house. My (city) kids were enamored with the space, my son insisted we should move to Georgia, and my daughter loved playing table tennis and then sprawling out on the cozy daybed. My husband and I enjoyed the tasteful, detailed design of the house, the elegant landscaping choices and the historic trees, and we all loved the gorgeous neighborhood beaches. Bryce was a wonderful host who truly went the extra mile to make us feel right at home. We are grateful for a lovely trip, and we would love to come back.

We had the best time at Bryce beautiful house on St. Simons Island. We were traveling with a baby and a four-year-old and had everything we needed for the kids and for us. There was plenty of toys which our older son loved and played with all the time during our stay. For our baby daughter there was also baby toys, a high chair and a pack n play. The house, interior and exterior is designed beautifully as seen on the pictures if not even better. The neighborhood is nice and not far away from the beach. There was so much to do on the island and Bryce had left us a couple of recommendations. But we felt so comfortable in the house and at the pool that we spend a lot of time at home. The kitchen was perfect with a good coffee maker etc. The beds were so comfortable, too. I could go on forever. This place had everything for us we were looking for on our holiday. Thanks Bryce.
