We absolutely loved our stay at this property. The space was incredibly clean and well appointed with hotel-like towels and linens. We came from out of town so this was a huge win!
The pool was clean and quiet and the walk to the beach was easy. We hope to stay again in the future!
We loved staying at Ship Watch for the long Labor Day weekend! The unit was clean and perfect for the 4 of us (2 adults, 2 kids). It had everything we needed and the beach wasn’t crowded-even on a holiday weekend! We will be back!
Nice comfortable condo that had all we needed for our stay. It's oceanfront but set back a bit further. The walk to the beach was easy, less than 5 minutes.
This was a great place to stay for our vacation. Our only wish was that it was closer to Jekyll Island, but otherwise the place was perfect for the needs of a vacationing family with a small child.
Great condo in a great location. Exactly as described in listing. Kitchen is very well stocked for preparing meals. Will definitely stay here again if in the area, we definitely found a new winter vacation destination
This was me and my family first experience at st Simons for my niece 5th birthday celebration and we had an amazing time!! The beds slept like heaven and the condo had everything you could think of down to box fans!!! I will always check this location for future vacations.
The condo itself was perfect. It was clean, tidy and organized. Appreciated the maps and dining recommendations. We had everything we needed for our stay.

Loved Shipwatch - nice condo, clean and updated, although in need of a few minor repairs; beautiful pool and green area; close to beach.
Our second time staying in this condo. Really nice place with a great layout for a small family like ours. Good access to the beach. A bit far away from some of good local restaurants, but the biggest complaint was the fridge. Didn't stay cool enough to trust keeping dairy in it. They must know about this because they have a note about adjusting the temperature in the notes for the place, but it still wasn't able to keep it at 37-38 degrees. Other than that, great place!
It was all good. The unit was a bit small but very nice. We did notice most units had dogs - many would bark on the lanai's when other dogs walked by. We might look for a no dogs unit next time.
We did lots of touring in the area. The condo was conveniently located. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen had everything we needed. The welcome pack with snacks, etc., from the property manager was a nice touch. It was clean and quiet. We didn’t go to the beach, but it would have been a bit of a walk. The view from the walkway was nice though.
We used Shipwatch as a base of operations to:
1. Hunting fossils at Shark tooth beach, Jekyll
2. Turtle walk, Jekyll
3. Turtle rehab center, Jekyll
4. Tarpon fly fishing Fernandina Beach
5. WwII home front museum St. Simons
6. Dolphin sunset cruise St. Simons
7. Tailing redfish fly fishing St. Simons
8. Brunswick adventure
Crabcakes at Barbara Jeans, Argentine specialities at Del Sur, clams and calamari at Coastal kitchen, breakfast daily @ Palm Coast, Sals Pizza

The property was as described - convenient location,secure,easy walk to the beach, etc. We called the realty after we left but had no idea which extension was correct for checking out. It would be better to give the extension with the agency phone number for check out; or give that information on the automated message.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was nice, maintained. The unit had everything we needed. Parking could be a little limited at times. The surrounding area for shopping and restaurants, etc. had a lot of options. I would go back. The walk path to the beach was messy. A lot of rain in June so the path would flood or hold water making the walk to beach messy.
Access to the beach was not good, seemed like a 1/4 mile hike thru soft sand and finding your way back can be tricky. We also didn’t like having to walk across the parking lot and go thru a locked gate to take the trash out. Other than these two issues we really enjoyed our stay.

Reviewer Comments:
I’d give this rental a 3-4 out of 5 in comparison to others we’ve stayed in. The unit is very small but has some decent upgrades. Master bathroom is newish and the bed is incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook meals. It’s about a 6 minute walk to the water. The pool is nice and big. The building itself could use an uplift. It’s 1/2 mile to several great restaurants.
The place is super convenient and great access to everything really but the downside to this location is it needs a little/lot of help in the comfort. The recliner has definite issues and all sizes of people sat in it and sounds and feels like a spring is going to attack you. The kuerig is broken but works but still broken the front bedroom one of the outlets doesn’t work and the master bedroom tv has definite issues
