About This Home

Coastal Living Elevated – Now with Even Better Views and Value
Welcome to 119 Florence Street—your dream coastal retreat, newly offered at an improved price and now boasting even more breathtaking ocean views. Tucked beneath the canopy of centuries-old live oaks, this stunning Charleston-style beach home offers the perfect blend of island elegance and relaxed coastal living.
From the double verandas, take in the serene ocean breezes and elevated views of the Atlantic, now even more open and expansive. Just steps from one of the most secluded stretches of beach on St. Simons Island, this home is ideally located a short stroll from both the lively Pier Village and the exclusive Sea Island Golf Club and Lodge. Here, every direction leads to something wonderful.
Designed by esteemed architect John Rentz, this 5,300-square-foot residence features five spacious bedrooms—including two primary suites—and gracious gathering spaces that invite entertaining. Flowing from formal living and dining areas to broad verandas with ocean views, this home was made for hospitality.
Details matter here: solid block and Savannah Gray brick construction, beautiful brick and wood flooring, transom windows that bathe interiors in natural light, detailed crown moldings, and classic plantation shutters throughout. Exterior shutters, grand staircases, a cozy fireplace, and formal garden spaces evoke timeless Southern charm.
Thoughtful features ensure comfort and convenience: an elevator, workout room, spacious laundry, outdoor shower, and two garages with epoxy flooring and three ground-level storage rooms—for golf carts, kayaks, fishing gear, and all the essentials of coastal adventure. With parking for eight or more vehicles, entertaining is effortless.
Set privately among moss-draped live oaks, this home offers a truly unique experience—ocean views framed by nature’s cathedral. You’ll watch ships pass while enjoying the tranquility that only a setting like this can offer.
Whether it's biking to Mallery Park for tennis or pickleball, catching a hometown baseball game, or crabbing and clamming just 200 yards from your door, every day here feels like vacation. Enjoy concerts at the lighthouse, stroll the pier for festivals and shopping, or head east for Sea Island’s iconic sunsets and five-star amenities.
This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. And it’s ready to welcome you.
Schedule your private showing today and experience life at 119 Florence—a rare offering on St. Simons Island.
