About This Home

As of April 2018

This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom oceanfront residence features a combined living, dining, and kitchen area and a private balcony. Shipwatch #308 offers a partial ocean view from the balcony. The Shipwatch community is located oceanfront on St. Simons Island on a desirable stretch of beach between Massengale Park and the historic Coast Guard Station. Shipwatch has been a favorite family destination for many years. And with just 52 residences, Shipwatch is a quiet community for weekend getaways or a comfortable snowbird destination during coastal Georgia's mild winter months. Community amenities include boardwalk access to the heart of St. Simons' sand beaches, a swimming pool, volleyball area, large grass lawn, and outdoor grills.
