Ocean Lodge on St. Simons Island, Georgia
Monday, June 16, 2008 | Random

I have been dying to tell you all about my new favorite place in the southeast!  A couple of weeks ago I was finally able to stop by the newly opened Ocean Lodge on St. Simons.

Brian and I stopped by, and I snapped some photos while we were enjoying spending time with Pat and Dottie.  These photos were taken quickly while we were looking around so they are not the best - but I wanted to share them with you anyway.

Ocean Lodge is on St. Simons Island which is a barrier island off the coast of Georgia.  I lived on St. Simons when I was in high school.  It is a charming island with giant oak trees, historic landmarks, sandy beaches, a charming village and pier area, and lots of golfing and shopping opportunities!

Ocean Lodge is located on Beachview Drive.



This fabulous place is for those with discriminating taste who are looking for a unique, luxurious, boutique hotel experience.  The image of the lobby (below) is distorted because I used my fisheye lens, but I wanted to give you a view of the ceiling.  The attention to detail at Ocean Lodge is amazing.  The ceilings themselves are a sight to see!



A great view of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean...



There are so many beautiful places to spend time tucked away within the lodge.  









Ocean Lodge offers 15 well appointed luxury suites with private, ocean-view verandas.

The bedroom...





Seriously, this place is dripping in luxury.  The ceilings are extravagently painted with themes that relate to each room.  One room had paintings of surrounding islands - and of course the card room had paintings of cards.  A couple of ceiling panels...



Here is a photo of Pat showing me where Ocean Lodge was featured in Southern Distinction magazine.



It was fun talking to you Pat and Dottie.  Sorry I missed you Julie - hope to see you soon.

So brides...contact Julie at Ocean Lodge to book your wedding if you haven't chosen a place already.  You will have an experience unlike any other!  And I can't wait to photograph your wedding there.  They can accommodate intimate ceremonies and up to 325 guests.  Julie's number is 912-638-2100.  Tell her I sent you!

It's also a great place to get away with your husband or wife!
