Shipwatch 303

We had a wonderful vacation! The condo was in a great location, close to the beach and to the pier. Our view was beautiful from the deck.

Overall, it was positive. Minor issues that were addressed. There were deferred maintenance issues that we were told are going to be addressed over the few months. But certain things amaze me - and it is not just this unit. For instance, there is a first class dishwasher - but it is not attached to the counter so it tips out a little when you load it. Not a big deal, but why would anyone do that?

The location and property were very well maintained and clean.
The only surprise was having to do housekeeping before check out.
Garbage removal and laundry specifically.
Not upset, just wasn’t expecting.

Real Escapes is great to deal with. Always helpful and accommodating.

The room was nice there were some places on the ceiling that the popcorn was missing. A kitchen chair broke with my husband was eat breakfast. Mostly the walk to the beach should be advised there’s a boardwalk then it it’s grass tall as an adult waistline. The trail is small. The walkway under ship watch my husband had to duck under . While on the top floor the wood moved as you walked

We had a great time. Kitchen was well stocked

Always a nice place to stay.

Condo was well equipped , clean and convenient. Recliner and sofa were not comfortable... king bed slept good. Not sure we would stay there again because it is so far from the beach , but the view is pretty. Pool area was nice. . Need to include some operating instructions for TV’s. No channel info was provided either. Rental company was very efficient and polite. No washer or dryer. Deck could use some work.

My hsuband I have stayed at various Shipwatch residencies since we have been vacationing in Sr. Simons. We have come down almost every year since 2012. This rental was great. It was clean, open, and you can even see the ocean from the balcony. I would stay here again in a heart beat.

We came down to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary. I grew up here and we love coming here. Thank you for hosting us. Shipwatch 303 is great and really comfortable. We will be recommending it to my family and friends.

I always enjoy SSI. The property location is very good. It is close to many restaurants and the pier. The room for the most part was ok. We were disappointed with the overall cleanliness but also it was advertised as a recent renovation and when we arrived, it was obvious there had actually been minimal renovation.

WE ALWAYS ENJOY OUR STAYS WITH YALL

Very nice little gem of a condo with ocean views. Decorated nicely, and had everything we needed for our four day getaway to the island. Fantastic location.

No A/C on arrival, water heater leaking, coffe pot stopped working after 3 days, real escape fixed all immediately, thank you Tully. Upon arrival the condo appeared hotel cleaned, floors swept, linens clean and kitchen clean. However, a few days in we decided to deep clean, we washed the floor rugs, swept under and behind furniture. Swept the cobwebs from balcony and form the HVAC closet, and scrubbed most of the baseboards. Stove top broken with sharp edge, oven very dirty. dishwasher not secure, and tilts forward each time it’s opened. shower leaks 24-7. A/C broke again in the middle of the night, we decided to leave. We did not use the balcony as we felt there was too much mold out there. The master bedroom and bathroom fans were so loud that we had to turn them off, we picked this unit because we enjoy a fan while sleeping, management admitted it is loud and will repair, not during our monthly stay as we brought in two fans to compensate. The beds are comfortable with clean sheets, great furniture and decor. Kitchen stocked to the hilt, every kitchen utensil you need. Kitchen is well stocked with silverware, glasses, plates, and bowls, all in great condition.

We truly enjoyed stay on the beach. I loved taking pictures of sunrise from the balcony. The unit could use some updating but met our needs & was comfortable.

Overall we had a very nice stay. The Shipwatch Condo Complex is a very friendly and nice atmosphere. Loved the pool area. Although it was a cool winter, the wind was blocked from the back of the complex. The condo it's self was comfortable and clean but needs updating, but I understand they are doing some remodeling. We will look forward to that next year. The beds are comfortable, and it is very adequately stocked. Despite troubles with the TV, when the Comcast person came, it was fine. We had a great 3 months.

We love the Shipwatch Condo complex. Everyone is friendly but quiet. Although the condo it's self is dated. It is comfortable and clean. The TVs are good. There are more than adequate cookware and appliances. The heating/air conditioner unit is very noisy but heats and cools well. The carpets should be professionally cleaned as well as the chair cushions in the dining room. The beds are comfortable, and although there is little storage space, we didn't need much. We loved our stay and plan on being back next year.

Wonderful!!! Thank you for letting us check in early!

Great Location so would rent at Shipwatch, again but not unit 303. It was very dirty and the rug in the master bedroom was very filthy. The whole unit needs an upgrade. We had to wash all the bedding and went and bought new bath towels because it was all dirty. The throw rug in the living room was filthy and so was the kitchen rug. There was hair in the blue bowels above the microwave. It was just gross.

Weather was perfect for the entire vacation

Very Pleasant to work with. Incredibly easy to pick up and drop the keys. I would definitely stay here again in the future!
I would check your lights in the unit. Not all light fixtures had light bulbs. Also, no place to drop trash off. Back screen door was off and lying on the porch. May need a little TLC to update. Otherwise this was a great place stay.

We had a great week at Shipwatch. The only downfall was WiFi stopped working with 2 days left of our stay & the night before checkout, elevators stopped working. Other than that, we have no complaints.

Wonderful time on our favorite island!

Another great month at Shipwatch the condo was clean and the people at Real Escape were great. The screen door was broke when we arrived and AC drain was clogged. Everything was fixed the same day we told Real Escape about the problem. The property is kept up great, had good weather, it was a perfect vacation.

SSI is our favorite place to be . This trip was no different. Great place and very easy to get to the beach.

We enjoyed our stay! The location is great! We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here. It's small but perfect for my husband and I and our two small kids. It was clean and well stocked. (Only thing I wish they had was hand soap for the kitchen and bathrooms.) Will stay here again.

Very nice, Shipwatch is our favorite. Very convenient to everything.

Wonderful week of rest and relaxation. The unit has been recently updated with new paint and new TV. Great stay!

I suggest the bedroom carpeting be changed, as it is well worn. I like the flooring in the living/dining area.
Builders and architects should not locate and install the washer/dryer machines in a bedroom area. The W/D made the bedroom temperature too hot for the bedroom occupants. Locate W/D in either bathroom or near kitchen, but preferably in a HALL CLOSET.

As stated before in my review last year and this year rugs in bedroon need to e replaced. My girlfriend stepped on a nail from the tack strip in guest bedroom.

The location of 303 Shipwatch and Shipwatch, itself is perfect. During February we have met some super nice people. 303 has taken some hard wear, as all the condos have, and needs some care. The furniture is not so comfortable, and there has never been a carpet in the living area. I wonder if there's a reason. The deck door window blind in the living area has never been fixed properly and was not again this year. The deck itself was very dirty.The arrangement of kitchen cupboards was not so good this year. The king-sized mattress in main bedroom should probably be replaced.
Real Escape people were great to work with as always.
