On The Half Shell

Such an adorable house in a perfect location for exploring the pier village and riding bikes over to the beach.

We reserved this house for the bride and bridesmaids. The house and neighborhood are absolutely beautiful and walking distance to downtown St. Simons.

When we arrived, the neighborhood and house were gorgeous! The inside is very well decorated and has plenty of space for a group to stay. There were plenty of ammenities available for use in the garage (bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas). I would definitely recommend staying in the house again! Walking distance to the pier was a huge plus.

This house was absolutely fabulous in every way. The privacy and security of the hamlet in which this house sits made us feel very secure and encapsulated - which was lovely, w/ younger kids. They rode bikes and played, even in the dark, safely. The house was beautifully appointed, with no clutter or kitschy beach decor that you find in so many rentals. We loved the bathrooms, so clean and open, and the kitchen was lovely. We were in walking distance to the little town of St. Simons, and had plenty of take-out options, given Covid. Only two small suggestions; there was no outdoor grill, and plenty of outdoor spaces to safely place one, so that was a bummer. I reached out to the property management company to see if somehow I was missing the location of the grill (the house has lots of outdoor nooks & crannies) and didn't hear back. Not a big deal, just a suggestion down the line - especially with the current focus on eating-in b/c of Covid precautions. It sounds crazy, but being very clean, neat people, we loved that there were so many easy-access vacuums to use to tidy up every day. The washer/dryer was large capacity, which was also helpful #beachtowels. I can't say enough good things! If you've never been to St. Simon's - do Jekyll Island for a day, it was beautiful. Thank you!

Great experience working with the property management company. House was better In person than the photos. Very quiet neighborhood convenient to the beach, restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

Exceeded our expectations. The house was amazing and in a unique neighborhood. More than enough room for 6 adults and 3 children.

perfect

We loved this beautiful house. It is comfortably and beautifully furnished. Everyone loved sitting in the swings on the porch. The house is nestled in a lovely, small neighborhood.

It is a short drive (5-7 minutes) to a park with public parking and beach access. Shops and restaurants on the villages main “strip” are with in walking distance.

The property office is also just a short walk up the street. They were very helpful in providing information about the area.

Outstanding. The property is very clean and walking distance to downtown area.

On the Half Shell is conveniently located with a 3 minute walk to the shops and restaurants in the Village. The neighborhood (with all of the "tree spirits" was awesome)!. The house is well decorated and very comfortable! We had many other friends who rented houses elsewhere on the island for spring break and they were all jealous of On The Half Shell! We will definitely come back and rent this same house!

Great stay. Close to everything. Enjoyed daily walks to and around the village and dining at many of the great restaurants.

On the Half Shell was a wonderful experience, house is very comfortable, open layout, close to village and the beach. Hope to stay there again soon.

Great family vacation location that we have enjoyed for many years now. Great location and attention to details. We will be back next year!

Great house and wonderful location. Need more lamps and seating in the living space and in bedrooms. But was a great vacation.

This wonderful vacation house was directly across from the other house we rented for our family. I would do it all over again! We have been coming to St Simons forever; the Village location was super!

very good, we love this house ; one thing that would make it better .... add ceiling fans in bedrooms OR
just put a couple of floor or table top fans in closet
for guest yo use.

Probably the best time we've had in the eight years we have been coming to St. Simon's. Weather was great. House was great. Location fantastic and neighbors friendly. Felt like we belonged to the neighborhood.

My family had a wonderful Thanksgiving at this property. We had plenty of space plus there were activities nearby that we walked to on a daily basis.

Our stay was more than expected as we were close to everything and enjoyed the many comforts of the home. We enjoyed the many amenities that the home had and have stayed before and will stay again. Great home with great things to make great stay!!!

Our 4th trip there. We had a fantastic time. Only complaint was the mattress being to hard, owner says it will be replace. Also needs to be sprayed for bugs, saw a few.

very good

As the organizer for the family trip, I was concerned that the house would be cramped, given the amount of people(10). Upon arrival my concerns vanished. The photos of the poroperty were beautiful however, we found the home to be spacious, well furnished and very comfortable. The location was perfect for walks, long and short, bike rides, running, The restaurant recommendations were spot on! Our only regret was not staying a night or 2 more.

If you are looking for a turn-key,beautifully decorated, spacious and clean vacation place in a perfect location, this is it! Beds are plenty and comfortable, kitchen is well equipped. Loved hanging out on the front porch and screened-in porch. Neighbors were friendly. Played corn hole that was provided. 5 minute-ish walk to the village, that has a variety of shops/restaurants,and trolley tour,great playground, and a paved path ocean front. 10 minute-ish walk to the light house. We drove to the sandy beach,(beach chairs, towels, sand toys are provided) but very close and easy to find. May be one closer, but didn't have time to venture further. Extremely close to the rental office. Truly, a Fabulous Find! Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to have another opportunity to come back again.

Best Location and best experience in all the years
(8), we've be vacationing in Saint Simon's!

On the Half She'll is the perfect spot in St. Simons!! The location is less than five minutes to the village area.... walking!! The kitchen and living area are perfect for family time. Such a fun place!!

Wonderful weekend with friends. Everything in rental was clean and working. Would recommend Real Escapes Properties to friends. Personal was knowledgeable and friendly.

Wonderful place to relax with kids
