About this home
Enjoy the best of Southend St. Simons Island from this inviting five-bedroom beach cottage, just steps from the Pier Village, beaches, and favored local shops and restaurants! Being sold completely furnished, this home is ready to enjoy immediately as a full-time residence, coastal getaway, or vacation rental.
With spacious gathering areas, a private backyard retreat, and a floor plan that places everyday essentials on the main level, it offers exceptional convenience and versatility. High ceilings enhance the home's open, airy feel, while the den's vaulted ceiling and beautiful brick fireplace create a welcoming place to gather. From here, the living space flows naturally into the dining area and spacious kitchen, then onto a large, peaceful back porch—making it easy to move from morning coffee to family meals and relaxed evenings outdoors.
At the front of the home, a bright, expansive sunroom currently being utilized as an entertainment room. The furnishings, décor, and recreational amenities are included, allowing the next owner to settle in or begin hosting guests without delay. Two generous sized bedrooms with en suite bathrooms (including the primary suite) are conveniently located on the main level, along with the laundry room and two owner storage closets, which are in addition to the ample storage closets and cabinets located throughout the home.
French doors open directly from the primary suite onto the back porch, creating a quiet escape just outside your bedroom. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests while allowing privacy for those downstairs. Surrounded by mature tropical landscaping, the fully fenced yard feels like a private island retreat.
A tranquil fountain sets the mood for afternoons in a rocking chair or meals on the porch, while an 18-hole putting course just beyond adds a distinctive feature for owners and vacation guests alike. Artificial turf and pavers help keep yard maintenance simple and stress-free. Currently participating in a vacation rental program and consistently producing high revenue, this renovated beach cottage truly has it all!
Come and take a look for yourself before it gets scooped up!

Price & listing history
Building permits
Comparable recent sales
Only 1 closed sale within about 10 miles in Glynn County in the last 18 months matched this home’s type and size. Fewer than 3 is too few for a median, so none is shown.
Limited comparable data: these sales are listed for reference only. A licensed agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Glynn County in the last 18 months. Only 1 qualifies for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Methodology: the range would be 3,069 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 7, 2026.
Momentum Property Score
36/100 is limited across the objective indicators below. It reflects only those measures — not the home’s quality, condition, or desirability.
A 0-100 score built from objective property and market data: flood risk, insurance, pricing, supply, affordability, and recent sales. Higher means more measures line up in a buyer’s favor. It reflects only the factors below.

Momentum Scores are objective, rules-based indicators computed from listing facts, public records, and recent comparable sales. They do not measure property condition, quality, or investment suitability, and they are not appraisals, valuations, investment advice, or judgments about a neighborhood or who should live there.

Per the listing record, 540 Magnolia Avenue was built in 2015 and has 3,069 sq ft of living area, 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 540 Magnolia Avenue in?
540 Magnolia Avenue is in St. Simons Park in St. Simons Island, Glynn County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 540 Magnolia Avenue have an HOA?

How are property taxes on 540 Magnolia Avenue estimated?
The estimate on this page (about $19,898 per year) assumes the county reassesses at the list price. Georgia counties reassess after a sale and exemptions such as homestead must be applied for by the new owner, so the seller's current bill is not a guide. Confirm with the county tax assessor.

A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
