Welcome to The Shipwright’s Bungalow, a timeless coastal retreat on beautiful Saint Simons Island. Built in 1947 by a master shipbuilder, this mid-century bungalow was crafted with the same precision and care once reserved for wooden vessels. Though lovingly updated for modern comfort, the home still carries the spirit of its original craftsmanship — from the exposed beams to the warm, welcoming layout.

This house is such a perfect beach house. It is a great size, has everything you need, and is in a quiet area. We loved sitting on the screened in porch at night. The house was clean and ready for us. Thank you for a great vacation!
