Cozy, clean and close to the beach

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.

Best Vrbo experience we’ve had!

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!

Perfect weekend at the beach!

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!

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!

Our trip

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.

First SSI Visit

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.

Reviewer Comments: 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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.

What We Didn’t Like

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.

Just ok

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.

It’s okay

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
