Bright St. Simons Condo Near Beach & Dining

Relaxation & Accessibility at Shipwatch #108

Welcome to Shipwatch #108, a beautifully renovated coastal condo located on St. Simons Island's East Beach. Designed with modern comfort and abundant natural light, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat is the perfect home away from home base for families, couples, or multi-generational travelers.

3-Minute Boardwalk Stroll to the Beach & Pool
Our unit is just steps from the community pool and a brief, scenic stroll to the ocean. A 3-minute walk takes you across our private neighborhood boardwalk, weaving through a protected coastal marsh directly onto the wide, flat sands of East Beach.

Unbeatable Walkability & Island Dinner Hack
You are an easy walk away from the island's most iconic dining spots:

* Crabdaddy's Seafood Grill & The Crab Trap (Island institutions)

* The King and Prince Resort (Oceanfront dining and drinks)

* Fiddlers (Trendy Coastal American seafood)

* Local Tip: Skip the restaurant traffic and the search for a parking space. Walk to Crabdaddy's, put your name down (they still don't do reservations, love it), head to the King and Prince lobby bar for a beachfront martini while you wait for a text, and enjoy a night swim in the pool after you walk home!


The Space & Layout (Optimized for 4 Guests)

* Master Suite: Premium Queen bed with an attached wheelchair-accessible bathroom.

* Guest Bedroom: Two comfortable Twin beds perfect for kids or friends.

* Living Area: Bright, open-concept space featuring a living room sleeper sofa.

* Important Occupancy Note: While the sleeper sofa allows the condo to accommodate up to 6 guests, the home is most comfortably enjoyed with smaller groups. If your party includes more than 4 guests, please keep in mind that the shared living space may feel cozier during your stay. We encourage you to consider your group's comfort and space preferences when determining the best fit for your vacation.

* Private Balcony: Covered outdoor space for morning coffee or evening cocktails.

* Beach Gear Bonus! We are now partnered with Vayk Life, a beach equipment rental company, and can arrange to have chairs, umbrellas, and other beach accessories delivered right to your unit if your stay is under fifteen days during the months of March thru October. Specific arrangements vary, but you will receive an email with instructions as to how to utilize your credit.

* Load Up The Wagon! Whether you use the VayK Life to procure beach gear or you bring your own, please help yourself to our new beach wagon to aide in the schlep down to the shore! The wagon is located in the second bedroom closet. Just return it when you're done!


Perfect Location & Accessibility

* Prime Spot: Just a 2-minute drive to the Pier, Lighthouse, and Ocean Blvd shops.

* Elevator Access: Seamless transition from your private, covered parking space to the unit.

* Multi-Generational Friendly: The master bathroom is fully equipped with professional safety grab bars and a seamless, step-free walk-in shower. We lovingly optimized this space so everyone in your party can travel with ease and confidence.

* Bring Your Pet To The Beach: Pet care while on vacation can be crazy expensive, not to mention stressful. Skip all that and bring your furry friend along with you! $150 fee.

Clean. Pet friendly. Would be tight quarters for more than four…Only down side, was the master shower was set up for handicap water setting and neither us nor the maintenance team could swap it to a regular setting. Had to use the shower for 3 days with water only coming out waist level. Over all, we were pleased for a short stay.

Amazing and very wheelchair accessible

What a beautiful location, it’s truly incredible. Pool is nice, warm not crowded, bbq is great, condos have comfortable beds and space, everything is clean and new, super nice staff at site. Shower is really truly honest to god wheelchair accessible with built in bench in walk in shower and hand held showerhead which made this stay incredible for us, as our son uses a wheelchair and normally it’s a nightmare to figure out showering when we travel (and given that we were all in the pool and the ocean everyday, we needed it!).

I loved condo 108!

I loved every part of my rental at Shipwatch unit 108! Loved the double car covered parking. Loved easy access to unit. I read in a review prior to booking “it is sooo handicapped”. Completely disagree! The wide doors made whole unit feel so much more open!!! Master bath and shower are great!!! Being able to bring my dog, best bonus ever! Will be back❤️❤️❤️!

Tired and in need of serious makeover

I stayed at Shipwatch approximately 30 years ago and it can unequivocally be said that the condo complex has not aged well. It has an old, sad and depressing feel about it. The elevator was broken at the time. The condo had a strong pungent odor, the stove dating at least 30+ years old had aluminum fold under the electric eyes. The bathrooms are in need of complete remodel. I could go on, but will not. Overall, it had the feel of a very old college dorm room. As a result, we did NOT stay there and selected aa oceanfront condo on the island.

why did we land in an Accessible condo filled with equiptment?

We never asked for this, and it was cumbersome. Accessible properties should be stated-we did not welcome this a bit, but to find equipment and devices filling all of the space we neede/rentedd to use for our things that we could not store in comfort was most inconsiderate: We rented this space, and paid for the owners stuff that impeeded free mobility around the quarters. The condo is outdated , animal hair was all over the carpets, furnishings were placed in front of closets rendering them unusable, Television digital boxes were found teetering, unbalanced on too small furniture. The cigarette ashes of the condo above came flying through the floor boards into our dinner. Scant communication from the ,amager from the beginning. I mentioned we could live with it when asked, only because we did not want to move once settled, however, until this requst for an assessment, no one inquired further. This is not customer service, but only receiving a check. We felt like cattle.

Beautiful beach and great condo

We had the BEST time at Shipwatch. The condo had everything we needed and is in a great location. We biked, visited some great historical places, went on a ghost tour of the island, and had a great time at Neptune Park several evenings, which is loaded with things to do. The ONLY thing that we could find wrong with the condo is that we were on the first floor and could hear Everything that was happening above us (people doing laundr, walking, moving furniture etc at all hours of the night) - but I know this is just a building problem of the condo! And we could have just had extra loud neighbors??? Management was great, also. Had plumbing problems late one night and they arrived in just about 25 minutes. But, we all decided it was the best beach vacation we have had in years and would return again!!

Excellent!

My husband and I have stayed at Shipwatch several times in the past. Whenever we come down to St. Simon's Island we make it a point to stay at Shipwatch. The condo was clean, well taken care of, and well stocked. My only concern was the lack of a rug or two. I completely understand why there is no rug, due to sand, but a rug in the bedrooms would have been much appreciated. Overall, it was a great stay and we will be returning!

We love Shipwatch - on the beach and pet friendly!

My only complaint with this trip was being on the first floor - our guests above us were up all night long stomping and running - I'm sure it was kids but it sounded like three hundred pound grown ups having a wrestling match every night. I know that you have no control over that - but we did complain to Hodnett after the first night but it did not improve. Other than not getting much sleep we love St Simons and Shipwatch - we will be back.

Hi Laurie, We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Shipwatch, the close proximity to the beach and the pet friendliness make it a guest favorite! We hate that the unit above you was noisy and appreciate your understanding that it is out of our control how late the upstairs guests are up and moving about. We hope to see you again soon!
