My dog and I really enjoyed our stay in Shipwatch. The condo was clean and as described in the listing. We enjoyed how pet-friendly the community was and were grateful for the public boardwalk just around the corner for easy beach access. My favorite part was the porch swing.

Loved the dog-friendly atmosphere of the condo and property grounds. Private boardwalk to the beach was great also. Condo was good for our brief stay. It was very clean but did tend to get too warm in the guest bedroom even with the A/C turned low. Had to sleep in the living room coach pullout. A/C also made quite a bit of noise.

air conditioner issue

We enjoyed our stay. We did have a problem with the air conditioner dripping water on the floor at the entrance. Someone came and did a temporary fix which lasted until our last day when it started dripping again. Since we were leaving the next morning we did not ask for a second fix.

Missing the Basics for a Beach Vacation

Unit is smaller than it appears, which would have been fine but missing basic necessities like dish soap, hand soap, something to clean counters with after cooking. No extra towels provided. And was impossible to get across the long board walk to beach without being eaten up by mosquitos. Ended up having to battle the crowds at the public park beach access down the road. Complex pool was the best part of this location. Also not far from downtown area which is awesome. Would highly suggest management company keep the credit for bikes ect and provide basic supplies in unit.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it. We try to accurately depict all of our properties, location in building, and proximity to the beach in our photos and website. I am sorry if the property was not what you were expecting. Shipwatch is undergoing major renovations this fall to replace all of the walk ways on site! We do hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again soon!

Disappointing

Location to beach good. There's a long walk past the dunes but that's the case most every where along the beach. Pool & pool area very nice, very clean. What was disappointing: Advertised as renovated condo but not when. Guest book in condo states renovated in 2008 so don't expect it to be newly updated or modern & lack of quality cleaning over the last 16 years shows, especially on the balcony deck, baseboards & tile grout. Biggest disappointment was the constant noise from outside property construction/renovations. Loud saws, sanders, drills, tools, etc., daily, unsafe conditions at times. Fence railings along elevated deck path/cat walk to our 2nd story condo entrance were removed while we were staying there without any prior notice. And we have a dog who did not want to cross to the door without strong direction. And the same for other guests who had young children! Why not delay the repairs/replacement of fence railings to the occupied condos until they were vacated, or notify guests beforehand? We had no idea all those outside renovations were going to take place the week - Memorial Day week no less - we were there. The 4th day of our stay someone taped an "Excuse our mess..." note from the HOA on our door. Had we known the renovations were going to be done during our vacation week we would not have reserved the condo. Shame on Hodnett Cooper real estate, VRBO & the condo owners for inaccurate advertising & omission of the renovation work going on at the property.

Cute unit but very small!

We stayed in Shipwatch Unit 215 the week of July 9-15, 2017. The unit has been updated with tile floors, beadboard, & 50's diner inspired kitchen table & barstools. The unit is cute but the Shipwatch units are very small with tiny kitchen, small family room, and very small bedrooms and bathrooms. The secondary bedroom had bunk beds with a full on the bottom with a twin pull out trundle & a twin top bunk which gives sleeping space for up to 4 as well as a sofa sleeper that can sleep two in the family room & a King bed in the Master. However the bedroom was so small that when the trundle was pulled out there was no room to walk & the closet doors couldn't be opened. The stackable washer and dryer is also located in a laundry closet in the secondary bedroom which is very aggravating as people trying to do clothes have to come in the bedroom which doesn't allow for much peace or privacy. It is also loud to have the washer and dryer going inside the bedroom. The unit was supposed to have 3 tv's but the one in the secondary bedroom was missing & the Master bedroom has a tiny tv making us think the tv in the Master had broken & they had taken the one from the secondary bedroom to the master. In today's day & time it is definitely a discomfort to not have a tv in the bedroom. The swing on the balcony was nice. The pool area is very nice & quaint. There was not enough parking in the parking lot. The wood decking that makes up the "hallways" & the wood steps is hard to maneuver & makes a lot of noise when pushing luggage and grocery carts. We are used to staying at Beach Club, North Breakers, and the Grand. I know Shipwatch is the oldest cond building on the beach it just seems very small and outdated compared to the condo complexes we are used to. We have decided Shipwatch is not for us & we will not stay there again.

Hi Holly, Thanks for your detailed review, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the updates to this unit including the new tile flooring throughout, new furnishings, and upgraded kitchen. The weather has been perfect lately so we are glad you enjoyed the balcony swing and pool area too. We will work diligently to get the appropriate Televisions working and back in the unit. We apologize the size of the unit did not meet your satisfaction as well as the noise of the wood decking and the in-unit washer and dryer location, we will take this items into consideration moving forward to ensure our guest have the most pleasant experience possible while visiting St Simons Island. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you again in the future.
