This house is so cute! It was easy to find, had ample parking, and the location is fantastic. The backyard is cozy and private. There is a Keurig and a Drip style machine if that matters to you. This is just a gorgeous home. I wish I knew how to decorate like this! We would definitely stay here again. Perfect!

Summer vacation

We had a party of four and this place was absolutely perfect. Great location to get to the beach and downtown. The place has all the amenities you will need. Even the garage is equipped with a/c, tv, fridge sofa. It’s like a whole separate living space. Covered area for car. Beautiful fenced backyard that was great to relax. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Easily 5 stars.

Excellent Air Band B in Historic District

This home is an old charmer from the 40s. Extremely well maintained in the St. john’s district. Great yard for the dogs. Close to all downtown attractions yet far enough away to have peace and quiet. Around the corner is the St. john’s cemetery with the first interment in the 1860s. Definite recommend

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS - 10 out of 10

The Simmons House far exceeded our expectations. The owners / managers have thought of EVERYTHING! Every little detail was covered from dog treats and dog toys to bath linens and beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, toys and cooler) to coffee and laundry soap. Everything exceeded expectations, the decor, the beds, the pillows, the appliances, the fully enclosed fenced in yard and the list goes on and on. Not only would I / we recommend the Simmons House, but we will most definitely stay there again.

The house is just like you see in the pictures and is perfect for a family get away. It has everything you need for your stay so don’t worry about beach towels or chairs or an umbrella they have you covered. There is even a cooler for you to use.
