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
