Hodnett Cooper Vacation Rentals is pleased to present Shiphouse as part of our Premier portfolio of properties on St. Simons Island. Hodnett Cooper Premier properties are among the finest vacation rental residences on the Island and Premier guests receive personalized assistance from our Premier Concierge. Concierge services may include pre-arrival planning, activity reservations, tee times and more. This property has been selected for inclusion in The 100 Collection™, a global designation awarded to only the top professionally managed vacation rentals based on consistent quality and service. Shiphouse 5 encompasses all three condos of the amazing twelve-bedroom oceanfront condos, designed to resemble the hull of a ship. On the ground level, an oceanfront pool provides a refreshing spot to read, relax or refresh after a day in the sand. While this magnificent home is oceanfront, beach access is tide contingent. At high tide, which occurs twice daily, the beach is mostly inaccessible. There is not direct beach access from the home, rather it is just one house down in either direction. You won't miss the ocean when you have spacious balconies, a rooftop deck, mesmerizing waves, ocean breezes and your own seaside pool. Shiphouse features three levels with identical floor plans—four bedrooms and a living area on each floor. Upon entering any level of the residence from the outdoor staircases or private elevators, guests are greeted with expansive ocean views to the east and spacious bedrooms to the west. Each floor has the same floor plan, with a kitchen, living area and four bedrooms. The living areas feature an open dining area, living room and kitchen with gourmet appliances and island seating. All floors feature a full, gourmet kitchen. The living areas have 180-degree views of the ocean and a wraparound balcony for enjoying the ocean breeze. Whether dining, cooking, playing games or gathering for a cocktail, the Atlantic Ocean is your backdrop from the living area. On the western wing of the house, each of the twelve bedrooms has an en suite bath. The three master bedrooms are spacious with a King bed and each en suite has a garden soaking tub. Each floor includes a “bunk room” with two sets of bunk beds, ideal for families with children. Shiphouse features hardwood floors throughout, beautiful architectural finishes and comfortable, coastal furnishings. On each floor, an extra half bathroom in the hallway is an added convenience. Above the penthouse level is a rooftop deck that spans the entire length of Shiphouse. The deck is an amazing gathering place that includes tables and chairs for outdoor dining, a grilling area with running water, and a sitting area to take in the ocean views. During the summer months, Shiphouse requires all floors to be rented for seven-night minimum stay with a Saturday-to-Saturday schedule only. Bedding Includes: 1st floor: 1 King, 2 Queens, 2 Sets of Bunk Beds (twin over double) 2nd floor: 2 Kings, 1 Queen, 2 Sets of Bunk Beds (twin over double) 3rd floor: 2 Kings, 1 Queen, 2 Sets of Bunk Beds (twin over double) Beach Gear Credit Now Included Hodnett Cooper has partnered with VayK Gear, a beach delivery service provider to offer beach gear rentals to Hodnett Cooper guests in participating properties. Confirm a new reservation with Hodnett Cooper Vacation Rentals at a participating property with length of stay between 2 – 14 nights, arriving March thru October, and receive a daily credit from VayK Gear towards beach gear rentals during the stay!

There are a lot of restaurants and activities within walking distance of the house. Overall, we were very happy with our week at Shiphouse. ##### Debby H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie T. 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Layout and Location We booked the entire house for our sales retreat. It was perfect since everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. We hired a private chef that was able to use the first floor kitchen without disturbing us on the third floor during our meetings. The rooftop deck was great for hanging out and watching the sunset. We were able to easily get to the beach for walks and could walk to downtown. ##### Julie T. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### On the water in St. Simons Gorgeous home right on the water. Older family members enjoyed the beach via the porch which was nice. No direct beach access (unless you don’t mind climbing rocks) If you like to sit on the beach, not the best option as there’s no beach much of the time due to how high the tide comes.Beautiful views from every floor. The home itself is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities. Close to all the restaurants and shops. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike M. 11 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Mike M.

It had enough beds and baths for our large group and the face that every room had an en suite was a great layout. The property’s location was ideal, a short drive or bike ride to all of the spots on the island, and plenty of parking for several cars. Would highly recommend for large groups! ##### Rebecca R.
