The King and Prince Golf Resort on St. Simon’s Island is the perfect destination for fun, family vacations. The beautiful barrier island on an Atlantic beach offers a variety of amenities that are family-friendly. The resort offers rooms, villas, and and home rentals for small and large families, some with barbecue grills to cook outside and spacious balconies.
During the Spring and Summer months there is a host of things to do at The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort and on St. Simons Island. Special events, water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding, historical sites, biking, and bird watching are just a few.
We have stayed at The King and Prince many times, enjoying every type of accommodation offered; oceanfront room, 2-bedroom Villa, and a rental home, and it never gets old. Kids love being on the ocean and having a few pools at their disposal, but they also enjoy finding the treasures that are beautiful seashells and other ocean wildlife, on the beach and sandbars as well as catching crabs, dolphin sightings, climbing lighthouses, and visiting Fort Frederica. Dining options are ample on the island but with the addition of ECHO in the main building of The King and Prince, there is no need to leave the property to dine. If your family prefers to dine in, reserve one of their oceanfront villas or beach homes in which you’ll find a full suite of appliances including a stove and oven, microwave, full size refrigerator, dishwasher, and washer and dryer.

Wow, I’m excited to enter this contest. Our family just moved to Atlanta from snowy COLD New England. We would love some time away from our unpacking to go someplace to have fun! This resort looks like so much fun!
This vacation sounds wonderful! I have never been to St. Simon Island and that resort looks beautiful and would be so refreshing for spring break!
Would love to be able to get away with the family during spring break. it has been a while since we have had some quality together time away from home . And the beach is so relaxing and grounding.
I would lov to win a 3-night stay at The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort for my parents . They will be celebrating their 32nd anniversary this May and deserve to celebrate it in a beautiful place like this.
I’ve always wanted to take the kids to St. Simon’s Island!
I’m so excited to be able to enter this contest for my family. This has been a very difficult year for us financially and emotionally. My kids have gone through probably more in the last year than their entire life’s. We were just discussing how nice it would be to get away for a few days to just have fun together. This would be that blessing that we are sooooo in need of! This would give us lots to get excited about and my kids plenty to talk about when going back to school! ????
I would love to spend Spring Break on the beautiful King and Prince Beach Golf Resort! We’re all so busy during the week, with school and work, we would be so grateful to be able to spend a fun spring break vacation!
I would love to win this for my family. My 8 year old has only been to the beach for 1 day ever! She would be so completely amazed and thrilled if we were able to take this trip. It would be fabulous and thrilling for her and to us. Thank you!
Why would I like to go on this trip? As a native Georgian, I have never been to the coast of Georgia and have dreamed of visiting this area for quite some time. The history is so rich there and I would love to take my family on an educational field trip to discover more about this great state we live in! Plus, the King and Prince seems to have that Southern charm and I would love to just sit back and relax with a mason jar of sweet tea;)
I would love to win this amazing trip. We recently moved to GA from FL, and I have never visited the GA coast. This would be such a fun trip for my family!
Our family is facing a layoff this summer and this trip would be awesome this spring. Thanks for offers such a fantastic opportunity for you readers. Atlanta Moms you Rock!
It’s a part of Georgia that I’ve never experienced before and I would love to visit with my husband and son. Plus, my son has been asking to go to the beach for months now after going when we visited his grandparents in Chicago this past summer.
I would love to win a 3-night stay at The King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort because, quite frankly, my husband and I could use a little break! Also, being from South Georgia, it’d be so great to go back “home” for a bit. Thanks for the chance and great article – very thorough!
I did keep getting an error message when I tried to subscribe, though. :\

I have lived in ATL for almost 9 years and have never been to the islands. As an active contributor to Trip Advisor, I would be coming back with much to say about the King and Prince, as well as area attractions and restaurants.
Our family loves the beach! I’ve seen pictures and read reviews of this resort and it looks gorgeous!!

Sounds like a fun way to enjoy Spring Break!
I have never been to the GA Islands and coming from little Rhode Island, I am so missing being surrounded by the ocean. This would be a wonderful family vacation and one my husband can not say no too.
I would love to win this package! I’ve never been to St Simons Island but have always heard that it’s a great place to take a family. We have 3 children and I know they would have a great time there!
My family and I made a New Years resolution to visit places we have never been before! This fits the bill! We love to explore and travel! Thanks!
Well who wouldn’t want a vaction after all these crazy snow days we’ve been having!?! We always go to the same place for a beach vacation, & I’d love to try St. Simons-this little place looks awesome!
I hope to win this giveaway so my family can spend time together having fun. We haven’t taken a vacation in a long time. We need to reconnect and have fun!
I want to go to The King and Prince Beach Golf Resort because I think it would be a great family vacation for my family and I. We have all lived in Georgia all our lives but haven’t been to this part before. I think that it would be an awesome experience.
