Sea Gate Inn is an upscale, modern condo-style property across the street from a public beach. The quiet and convenient location is a 10-minute drive from Redfern Village with shops and restaurants. Best for families and couples on vacation, or long-stay travelers, the property offers 24 units and most have kitchenettes, living and dining areas, laundry facilities, and jetted tubs. Daily housekeeping and Wi-Fi are included. There are no dining options on-site and few features other than an outdoor pool and parking garage. But guests also have access to two fitness centers, a larger pool, and a restaurant at the Sea Palms Resort about 15 minutes' drive away. Couples might prefer the Ocean Lodge for suites with kitchens, as well as free breakfast and a rooftop restaurant -- but no children under 14 are allowed and rates are significantly higher.

The beachy and modern, 85-room Inn at Sea Island hotel is the latest addition to Saint Simon's The Cloister and The Lodge at Sea Island family. Even though the hotel is not located on the beach, as many other hotels in the area are, guests here may get access to the Sea Island Beach club for a fee, as well as the Sea Island golf courses and myriad other amenities for free. While not as luxurious as its famously upscale sister properties, the Inn at Sea Island is still charming and pleasant, and its bright, airy aesthetic makes it feel like a beach house despite its woodland location. A sun-soaked pool is set in an interior courtyard, surrounded by sun loungers, and the lobby bar is open and inviting; both are popular hangouts for guests. Rooms are spacious, bright, and modern, if a bit standard in layout and amenities, and there's an extensive free breakfast buffet daily. There is also a fitness center, business center, and free laundry, all making this hotel popular with both business travelers and vacationers.

Set across from the beach on Saint Simons Island, in the Golden Isles of Georgia, Ocean Lodge is a luxury boutique hotel fashioned to look like a Renaissance-style Italian villa. Each of the 15 rooms is a spacious one-bedroom suite with full kitchen, separate living and bedroom area, multiple bathrooms, and private balcony. The decor is ornate and elegant, and the utmost attention is paid to guest comfort; the butler service is an example of this. Though the fitness room is merely adequate and the pool small (more of a plunge pool), there are plenty of common spaces where guests can mingle (should they ever manage to leave their plush rooms). The Rooftop at Ocean Lodge restaurant, on the -- you guessed it -- rooftop, is a Saint Simons Island hot spot, with a full bar, indoor and outdoor seating, and spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. There is a free, daily cooked-to-order breakfast included as well. Romantic, beach-adjacent, and private, this adults-only escape -- children under 14 aren't allowed -- is a treat.

The 28-room, upper-middle-range Village Inn and Pub is a bed and breakfast
built in a 1930s beach cottage, designed around the property’s ancient oak
trees. Guest rooms are clustered around a small courtyard pool, with exterior
hallways and picturesque wrought-iron balconies. The Pub is a laid-back local
nightspot, frequented by guests and regularls, whose specialty is Wild Orchid
Martinis. Guest rooms and common areas are furnished with 1930s-era
antiques, but the amenities are modern, and beds are super comfortable. Free Wi-Fi, continental breakfast, and parking helps keep costs low.

The 40-room, luxury Lodge at Sea Island is on the site of a former cotton plantation, accessed via an avenue of historic antebellum oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Outside, the lodge resembles an English manor; inside, it feels like a 1920s-style golf clubhouse or hunting lodge, with personal butlers who deliver milk and cookies to guest rooms at bedtime. Golfers will be in heaven, but there are plenty of non-golf-centric activities, too. Rooms are huge and packed with amenities -- some have balconies with beautiful views of the St. Simons Sound. Listen for the nightly bagpiper who performs at sunset. Guests should note that some features -- such as the beach, spa, and swimming pool -- are located at the sister property, The Cloister, which is too far to walk to; however, there's a free regular shuttle there and back. Families will probably prefer a room at The Cloister so they can access the beach, pool, and family-friendly restaurants without the shuttle ride.
