Direct Ocean Front, Private Pool, 100 steps to Lighthouse

After Dune Delight is a vacation rental home that will truly delight you with its fantastic ocean views and serene sounds of the sea. But that's not all - the Lighthouse, Pier, and Village, with their array of shops and restaurants, are just footsteps away. Whether you're looking to explore the local attractions or simply soak up the sun, everything you need is right at your fingertips.

THE SPACE
From the living spaces and main bedroom, you'll have breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, where you can watch ships sailing by. Imagine starting your day with a cup of coffee or ending it with a glass of wine, all while listening to the soothing sound of waves crashing along the shoreline.

The pool at After Dune Delight is the perfect spot to cool off after a hot and sunny day at the beach. And during the cooler months, you have the option to heat the pool for added comfort.

Speaking of the beach, there is a convenient public beach entrance just steps from the back of the home. Note: We are located ocean front, but please note that beach access is tide contingent. High tide occurs twice daily at varying times throughout the year, making the beach inaccessible.

Whether you're seeking relaxation or the adventure of our little island, After Dune Delight offers the perfect retreat for your vacation. Book your stay today and experience the best of St. Simons Island.

Upstairs main living level: Fully equipped kitchen with a drip coffee maker. Living room with additional new sofa 2023. Screened in porch with steps down to the back yard and public beach entrance, assessable at low tide. King bedroom (sleeps 2) with adjoining bathroom with shower.

Downstairs at ground level are 3+ bedrooms, sharing 2 baths:
* Guest Room 1 has a queen bed (sleeps 2) with a comfy new mattress Winter 2023
* Guest Room 2 also has a queen bed (sleeps 2) with a comfy new mattress Winter 2023
* Guest Room 3 is a large bunk room with 2 full beds (sleeps 4) on the bottom and 2 twins (sleeps 2) on the top.
* There's also a bunk nook a kids favorite, featuring 2 more twins (sleeps 2)

The downstairs includes 2 full baths - one with a shower/tub combo and the other with a shower.

The pool is hour glass shaped – approximately 20 feet long, 14 feet wide at its widest point. There is a 6 foot overflow round spa (not a hot tub with bubbling jets) - see photo.
Note: Pool heat and spa is optional. The spa and pool temperature will be the same. The over flow prevents one from being hot and the other cold. If you choose to heat the water, the fee applies to the full stay.

Poolside is a gas grille for your use.

Paper Towels
Toilet Paper

Older property requiring much maintenance
Located near town and near beach access #13. The property is very aged and not well kept. We were without AC for a day until the tech repair person was able to arrive then fix it. It took 5 days (Saturday - Wednesday) to have the cloudy swimming pool attended to by the pool maintenance team. It would have been much better if we were not the part of the experiment to ask to have what should have been maintained already fixed for the renters.

Great house and location
We stayed here over New Year’s Eve with a group of friends and had a great time. Plenty of privacy for all, and a spacious living room area to gather. Loved being right off the beach and so close to all the restaurants. We would stay here again.

Perfect Getaway House
This house was absolutely ideal for a family getaway to celebrate an 80th and 12th birthday. So much room and the location, pool, and views were perfection. There was even an art festival during our stay. I would definitely recommend and plan on coming back!!

Great location, terrible condition
This property was dirty when we arrived. It is in a state of disrepair. Property manager had cleaning crew out that afternoon. There was mold in showers, mold on the ceilings, smelled awful and clearly had not been cleaned. Fridge will not close properly, very poorly maintained and lacking in upkeep. Pictures don’t reflect current condition.

Great family vacation location
Right next door to the St Simons Lighthouse, walkway to water, downtown restaurants, public pool… this home is perfect! We had such a great time with everyone enjoying what they love most… chilling out, watching March Madness games, walking the beach at low tide, dining out (or in), shopping, hikes… kitchen was well stocked, several tvs, good bedding, baths, and very easy to check in and out!

Great house in great location!
The house was comfortable and well equipped. The large screened porch overlooking the water, was where we spent many relaxing hours! The location is great. In addition to being beside the beach, it was only about a 5 minute walk to the Village, where there are many excellent restaurants! We plan to go back next year!

Making memories
Our small family of seven, ages seniors to teens, made memories. The teens had never been to a beach. Exploring with golf carts was so much fun, visiting the Sea Turtle museum and rehab center was a winner and family games, conversations, swims etc. were easily enjoyed by all In this rental which had space for all ages to enjoy. The location was very desirable, near great shopping and restaurants. The pool was a big hit with our mermaid granddaughter. All in all this rental was a great find for a family to enjoy, all three generations of us.
