    Your Own Private Island Awaits You...® One of the crown jewels of Georgia's famed Golden Isles, Little St. Simons Island offers privacy, 7 miles of pristine beaches and 10,000 acres of undeveloped wilderness for exploration and relaxation. Owned by the same family since 1908, Little St. Simons Island has retained the charm and unhurried pace of coastal living. Moss draped live oaks and glistening marshes surround comfortable accommodations for just 32 overnight guests. The island is a paradise for nature lovers and offers a host of recreational activities: birding, boating, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, bicycling, interpretive tours, beach combing on 7 miles of deserted beaches, fishing and swimming. Rates include all meals, activities and use of recreational gear. Recently named the #1 Resort in the Mainland US by Condé Nast Readers' Choice Awards.

    Pricey but worth every penny. Three exquisite meals a day, plus all activities included. You are one of 32 guests on a private island with staff to cater to your every whim. Seven miles of Atlantic coastline beach, often you will be the only ones on it. GO!

    The Staff, the Location, the Food. Those are the best things about Little St. Simons Island. This out of the way getaway is well worth the effort to get there because once you're there you never want to leave. When you do, you keep coming back. We have for over 8 years now, whenever we can we plan another escape the friendly atmosphere and accommodating Staff, beautiful beach, and the deliciously prepared meals. Once you're there you've got to go back, it's that good!


    Fabulous!

    We loved it! If you are not into birds, reptiles, surf fishing and being disconnected, then this place is not for you. The food is expertly prepared and I wish I had purchased the cookbook. We loved the isolation and easy pace.

    We loved every minute of our stay at Little St. Simons Island. Every person on staff knew our names, knew my dining preferences (vegetarian) they just took care of every little thing down to the tiniest detail so we didn't have a care in the world. Our adventures on the island exceeded all of our expectations! We encountered: alligators, crabs, numerous birds, deer, raccoons, etc as we biked and hiked each day. The guides were wonderful!! My favorite was biking the beach at low tide with new-found friends that we met during our stay. Meals were delicious and entertaining served family-style. Gourmet and satisfying. I can't say enough good things about LSSI. We've never experienced a vacation like this. You must go. You simply must.
