On several of my past visits to Saint Simons Island, I had noticed
what I thought was a home renovation. Then back in March I
found out what was going on at the corner of Demere Road
and East Beach Causeway. Through the charming entrance
gate lies The Grey Owl Inn.
The Grey Owl Inn is owned by retired Coca-Cola executive Bill Gussman
and his wife Susan.
The Grey Owl Inn gets its name from the outline of an owl on a tree outside of a
bedroom window.The Gussmans purchased the original property from Joseph
Julian Gray. Members of the Gray family lived on the property for six decades.
One thing I love about Saint Simons Island is that there is something to do every
season of the year. I have heard there are people that are not that interested
in the beach. (Who are those people?) So for them or in cooler weather times,
The Grey Owl Inn is the perfect bed and breakfast. The grounds have
a fish pond, water garden, and a gazebo.
The Inn would not be a bed and breakfast without the wonderful food from
Tasteful Temptations and Brian Justice.Their quality cuisine is enjoyed at
breakfast, high tea, and the five o'clock happy hour.
Susan Gussman will welcome you in for a tour!
