About this property

Sunshine on the Half Shell Getaway has no hidden charges!

Sunshine On the Half Shell is the perfect location for an escape! This beautifully renovated 2 bedrooms, 2 bath condo is walking distance from EVERYTHING that matters on St. Simons while staying in a peaceful, gated community!

Discounts on any stay over two weeks! Message owner before booking for details.

This is more than a condo. The owners hand crafted some of the furniture and every decoration found throughout the house. New flooring throughout. The custom kitchen features granite counters and bar top. The dinning room table seats six comfortably. The living room offer views of the patio and lagoon, as well as the large Television, with a DVD player. The living area joins to a windowed sun room with lots of additional room to stretch your legs. The guest room sports split twin beds, large walk in closet, with an adjoined full bath with a marble countertop. The master offers a king sized bed, television, walk-in closet. Both bathrooms feature walk-in showers and master has separate powder area with sink, behind two hand built barn doors. Condo has 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 2 full sized sofas, 2 love seats, air mattress available which is located in the guest bedroom closet.

A short walk from The Pier Village and Neptune Park, this community features a large pool with sun bathing area and tennis courts. A lovely waterway winds throughout the complex dotted by fountains, turtles, fish, and ducks which can be enjoyed on the back patio (yes, there is a gas grill)! A short walk, or bike ride (yes, we have 4 bikes included!) brings you to The Village Pier and Neptune Park, a bustling hub of restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and family fun. No matter your mood, the Pier Village has it all. WANT ADVENTURE? Visit St. Simons Island famous Lighthouse and make the 129 step trek to the top. Walk the over sized pier and enjoy the beautiful views. Play on the massive playground, challenge your family in putt-putt golf, dive into the Neptune Park Fun Zone, a massive aquatic playscape that kids WILL LOVE. Parents love the peace of mind as there are numerous life guards on duty and the whole complex is fenced with a monitored gate (think Chuck-e-cheese in the water). This is all located right on the waters edge! HUNGRY? The Pier Village has fine dining, traditional seafood, pizzerias, burger joints, sweet shops, coffee houses, Italian cuisine, and more! ENJOY HISTORY? Visit the travel center, the art museum, or the St. Simons Lighthouse museum and stroll through the fully restored lighthouse keeper's home. ENJOY LIVE EVENTS? The Village features frequent festivals and local art expos. The nights are filled with live music at numerous restaurants and other venues. YOU WILL HAVE TO COME BACK TO ENJOY ALL THAT THIS PLACE HAS TO OFFER!

The condo is furnished with a "starter kit" of supplies, so you don't have to run to the store on the first day of your vacation.

Wonderful hosts and beautiful property!

The house was beautiful, very clean, and equip with everything we could need. A short walk from the major sights of St Simons, this is a wonderful spot for any get away. Next time I come into town I will be checking here first!

Wonderful property and fantastic property manager

Our family of 4 (2 boys ages 7 & 11) just completed our stay here. The unit was great, in a great location close to town and best of all was stocked with everything that we needed (cooler, beach toys-towels-chairs, games, movies, bikes, etc). The owner was wonderful with answering questions, providing recommendations and making sure we were satisfied with our stay. We highly recommend this unit.

Wonderful property!

This is a beautiful property. It is very clean and decorated so nicely. So many fun details with the decor. The living area is very spacious and comfortable. The host was very nice and helpful, answering all of our questions promptly. The condo is in a great complex within walking distance of the village, and it's a short drive to the beach. We truly enjoyed staying at this property and would definitely like to stay here again.

Family Vacation at St Simons Island

Had a very enjoyable weekend family vacation in the condo that is well furnished, clean, spacious and well structured inner settings. The condo is close to the village that is next to the beach, Park, and restaurants. Communications with the condo owner were clean and in real time, she met with us by the house and provided very good information about the condo and the village and beach. She checked with us after we settled in the condo to make sure we were doing well.

Birthday at the beach

We came to island to celebrate a birthday and spring break from Arizona. The condo was a perfect for a family of 4! Elaine was a premiere host from detail check-in instructions, cold water for our arrival, and even coupons for local restraunts. The condo is walking distance to the beach and there are bikes to cruise around on, beach chairs, coolers and an umbrella. She covers every detail. Even usb ports in the living room! The condo is gorgeous inside with premiere bedding, sheets and towels. Plus the location is near the pier, beach, a beautiful park and fantastic restraunts. Everything you want to enjoy a vacation on St. Simon Island.

Pretty and very comfortable

Everything in this space was well-done; comfortable space, beautiful furnishings, a fully-loaded kitchen, soft beds, plenty of towels. Plus there are tons of games for the kids, there are so many paperbacks to read. The location is walking distance to the shops and restaurants (manageable even for our four-year-old). We cooked one night and found everything we needed from large cutting boards, sharpened knives, and good pots and pans. We took the kids over to the pool on oppressively hot days, which was clean and provided some shade. The host, Elaine, was helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I strongly recommend this property. It was such a pleasure staying there.

Lovely ambiance and location!

The apartment was well decorated with well-placed furniture. The master bedroom with the barn doors for the bathroom was beautiful and comfortable. Loved having the bikes available for us (party of 3)! We used them the entire time we were there. A fun exercise is to bike to the 11 Spirit Trees that were not located in town. The community pool was nearby and adequately equipped with chairs. The host was very responsive to my questions and requests. I’d go back to this place if I return to this area!

Perfection

We loved the accommodations. The condo was emasculate, comfortable, and had everything a family needs but doesn’t want to pack for just a week for so vacation. We thoroughly enjoyed the charming coastal town with an array of eateries and shopping. The girls and myself biked daily adventuring all over the island and my husband thoroughly enjoyed fishing on the pier. The location of the condo was my favorite. Really a prime spot with food and fun minutes away. Lastly, Mike and Elaine were excellent hosts, so kind, friendly. And helpful. We will definitely return!

Great condo-close to everything!

Felt like visiting a friend-great accommodations, everything you need is there! Chill, relax, read, immerse yourself in the local neighborhood -dog park, tennis and pickle ball courts are so close by. You can do it all from this fabulous location! Property owner kept in conduct to ensure we had everything we needed- of course, no issues -everything was already tended to! We did exactly what we intended-threw the car keys aside and biked or walked to everything! We’d book this place again and recommend to everyone!
