About this property

Ocean Front Pool! 4BR house near village sleeps 10

This is a very unique house - it was built in 1935 on St Simon's shoreline and would become the home of an honored US Navy Captain for many decades. After a thoughtful renovation, the home one of the most distinctive beachfront cottages on the island.
We've designed the house to be open and comfortable, and to maximize the ocean view. There are a few memoirs of Captain Carmichael's naval career displayed in the home, and the overall décor is bright and open - perfect for a few days at the beach!

THE SPACE
The first floor is designed as a place for your family to enjoy one another and enjoy the beach - an open concept floor plan provides beach views from nearly every spot - back of the house is a wall of windows with views of the beach and Jekyll Island beyond. The beach is view-able from the family room, large chef's kitchen, and dining room.

The second floor features 4 bedrooms to accommodate up to 10 people:

Captain's Quarters: The master bedroom has an ocean front view and features a king bed, flat screen TV, en-suite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower.

XO Room: The Executive Officer's room also has ocean views and has a king bed. There's a big flat screen TV.

Lieutenant's Room: The third bedroom also has a king bed, big flat screen TV, and lots of natural light from floor to ceiling windows.

Crew Quarters: The fourth bedroom was designed with the kids in mind. It features a set of bunk beds and two additional twin beds in a loft above (sleeping 4 "crew" in total).

As you will note in our photos, the house backs up directly to the ocean and you can walk through our back yard over the rocks onto the beach sand. Thanks to newer condo construction our ocean views are not panoramic from inside the house, but nonetheless the view is amazing, the sound of the ocean waves is so relaxing, and the aroma of salt air is unmistakable so close to the water's edge. We're also super-convenient to the center of town - the Pier Village - where most shops and restaurants are. We are just a couple of blocks away - an easy stroll for morning coffee, evening dinner or ice cream.

The ocean front pool is like no other option on St Simons. The pool has a shallow and deep end (3.5 feet shallow, 6 feet deep) and the ocean facing side has a sunning deck that hosts 2 beach chairs so you can keep you feet in the pool water and enjoy the sun, views, and sounds of the beach without leaving the back yard. The pool dimensions are 11x32 (26' of length for swimming, 6' for the sun deck). The pool can be heated for a $75/night fee.

Baby gear we provide:
Pack N Play
High Chair (booster style that straps to a chair, has a washable food tray)

Note the fireplace is ornamental only, can't light it.

Pool is approximately 11 x 32ft

Located on the south end of the Island, St. Simons Pier Village district serves as the downtown social hub and is a popular destination for shopping, dining and gathering on the pier and nearby lighthouse, playground and picnic areas. Overlooking the ocean and Jekyll Island across the way, you'll find the St. Simons Lighthouse and Museum, Neptune Park with its ocean side pool and facilities, playground, miniature golf course, and an oak shaded picnic area, fishing pier, public library and theater.

Gorgeous place!

We really enjoyed this home. Very beautiful and clean! We like the location and the view.It was a little frustrating that to have the pool heated so we could swim would cost 75 per night. We didn’t find that out until after we booked.

Perfect getaway

We loved our stay at this beautiful house right on the beach. We especially loved having our own private pool and not having to worry about driving to the beach and dragging all of our chairs and umbrellas. The house was clean and just as it was in the pictures! We would definitely stay here again!

Incredible location!

We stayed here for a long weekend with our 3 teenagers. Loved being right on the beach and that we could walk to the Pier Village shops & restaurants so easily. The heated pool was great, too. Bathroom situation not ideal, but not a deal breaker. Would definitely stay here again!

Thanksgiving at the beach

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time. The house was wonderful and had lots of interesting history. We wanted to stay in the pool the whole time :) it was wonderful. The owners provided everything we needed including beach towels and pool floats. We didn't want to leave! Would stay again!

Rustic experience

I knew we were staying in a historic home, but I was under the impression that certain areas like the kitchen and bathrooms were somewhat recently remodeled. It looked like they were maybe 20 years ago. The pictures of the kitchen make it look way nicer than it actually is. The main floor furniture was all pretty dirty. Most of the bedroom doors barely shut, much less lock. On a positive note, my teen son and his cousins who visited thought the kid’s area and loft were wonderful. The main reason we chose this place was for it’s perfect location on the beach and close distance to the Village. The location is excellent.

Great location and set up

We really enjoyed our stay and especially the location and being able to walk out the back door and be on the beach! Our family was thrilled with that as well as the location to the quaint downtown area. We would only recommend the Management Company be up to date on the specific items that were included in the house as we asked and bought lots of K-cups as we were told there was no traditional coffee pot but there were actually 2 there! I added to the inventory there when we left as we don't use those at home:) I was told there was no iron although there was an ironing board which seemed odd so I purchased a travel iron and low and behold there was one there. I will be returning.

If you have small children, this is your vacation rental!

We rented for a bachelorette weekend which this house was perfect for! Large open kitchen, nice size bedrooms, enough bathrooms and outlets for alllll the hairdryers and curling irons. I ended up having to take my one year old. Her and I were out on the beach by 730, without having to pack up the whole house! It took maybe 50-60 steps for our toes to be in the water. Perfect! This house also has a pool that in the late afternoon is COMPLETELY SHADED by the houses next door! Perfect for those small children that you have to wrestle with the sunscreen! Needless to say I will be rented this house again for just our family to take all of our kids! The location was great also! Walked to the pier everyday. I thoroughly enjoyed this house and all it’s perks.

Amazing location, access, and amenities

We were very happy with our stay. You can see the beach from the back, the pool was so nice and with the position of the house you were able to get sun and shade when it was too hot. The beach access was amazing especially if you have little kids. Our kids went back and forth from the beach to the pool. Beach walks were so easy from our house. The house is on the older side but beautiful. All of the beds were very comfy. The plumbing in one of the bathrooms was messed up but someone came out right away. The hose outside also was cut by the landscapers but was also replaced so quickly. We onl noticed a few issues but nothing would be a deal breaker at all. The cable cut out a lot (I know we are on vacation but we have kids who enjoy tv when the take a break from the heat).The loft upstairs was too hot to sleep in. You need to bring a fan up there with you. We had enough beds where we didnt need to sleep up there but the kids did want to. The pool was also very dirty after the landscapers came and the pool skimmer was dirty and made the pool worse. I would suggest a robotic pool cleaner.

Great View

The best thing this rental has going for it is the location on the beach. Great views and wonderful walks on the beach which are just outside the door.. The stars at night are amazing . VRBO is a ripoff. I paid hundred of dollars to them in fees when I could have rented directly from Lighthouse Management. The management company was great. They are quick to respond and go out of their way to make things right. I will never rent on VRBO again. Renter beware of VRBO fees.

Excellent location

House was clean and decorated beautifully. The location is excellent. The back door opens to the beach, and the Village (populated with restaurants and shops) is a quick 5-10 minute walk. I love the large windows with amazing ocean views. It was perfect for a family as everyone could make their own choice for the day, e.g., spend time on the beach, swim in the pool, walk to the Village, etc. Only point of note is all the properties are closely located on east beach, and this property is between two condos. The pool is lovely with amazing views but it is in view of the neighboring condos. That aspect didn’t bother us and didn’t impact us - but just noting it for future vacationers.

This property was even better than pictures. It was the perfect family beach vacation house. The decor was so cute! My sons loved the submarine themed loft.

Perfect location in St Simon's

We loved our long weekend celebrating a big birthday in St Simon's. This beautiful home gave everyone space to spread out and space to be together. An easy stroll to shopping and amazing food. The rest of the island was fun to explore on our rental bikes. But best of all, with pool and beach just outside the door we didn't have to travel at all for good chats and afternoon naps. The house and property are exactly as described and one of our all time favorite VRBOs.
