About this property

The Penthouse at High Tide - Best Views Right on the Beach - Great for Families!

Welcome home to High Tide! We have owned High Tide since late 2014 and it has been our pleasure to host guest from all over the country at this beautiful property.

The Penthouse at High Tide is a two story, 5 bedrooms, 4 and 1/2 bathroom Oceanfront condo that offers sweeping views of the ocean. It is the perfect location. This property is located on the beach and has a private lawn out front for relaxing, sunning, and grilling. If you tire of lounging on shaded porches or walking on the beach, it is a short ten-minute walk to the Village where you can enjoy a number of restaurants and stroll down the famous Saint Simons Pier - you may even spot a big catch being reeled in! A walk in the opposite direction will take you to the famous island restaurant duo Crab Daddy's & Crab Trap. HIGH TIDE has it all that St Simons has to offer.

The first floor of the Penthouse has two guest rooms, (both with king beds and private baths), a dining area, an open kitchen, an expansive family room overlooking the beach and the master bedroom and large en-suite with private balcony. The porch for the Penthouse is located off of the family room and spans the width of the unit. Outside you'll find plenty of seating for morning coffee, lunch or for a glass of lemonade in the afternoons. The views are spectacular and some of the absolute best you will find on the island!

On the second floor, there are two additional bedrooms and a full shared bath. One of the bedrooms is a king and the other has two twin beds. There's also an expansive bonus room area with plenty of seating and a large flat screen TV- perfect for watching a football game or for the kids to enjoy a movie. There's also a fridge and table and chairs upstairs.

**The Penthouse has exclusive access to the elevator. Guests may also choose to use the stairs to enter the property. The elevator does not service the second floor of the Penthouse**

All bedrooms are equipped with flat-screen televisions and the house is wi-fi enabled.

The High Tide complex is a 3 unit condominium with separate entrances and porches for each unit. While the Penthouse is a stand-alone unit, it can be combined with Units A & B to serve as the perfect location for reunions, corporate retreats, family vacations, and gatherings.

Parking: The Penthouse includes TWO parking spaces. Street and public parking and cannot be guaranteed.

Ryan Saunders, our property manager, takes excellent care of our guests and lives right around the corner. Like any good neighbor, he's only a phone call away should you need anything to make your stay more comfortable.

Perfect Beach Front Location

This property is ideal for families or multiple couples, offering ample space, stunning views, and a prime beachfront location. The beach is perfect for little ones as it's not rocky, has relatively small waves, and has really fun tides. The property has everything you need in the kitchen and for the beach. We highly recommend this location and property manager, Ryan.

This property made our family vacation a huge success! The view was fabulous and the Penthouse provided ample room for our 8 adults and 2 children. It was spotless upon arrival and the amenities were generous. We easily walked to the pier and shops with our three year old granddaughter and stopped at the park along the way. The property manager answered every text leading up to and during our stay and provided helpful information. Steps from the beach, the property had chairs and beach towels for our use which made packing a lot easier and the elevator made moving in and out a breeze. I would give more stars if possible!

Great place to stay - amazing views!!

We stayed for the new year eve/weekend at the PentHouse and really enjoyed our vacation here. The view from balcony and living room is one of the best views on the island. Ryan is a great host, responded to us quickly for all my queries. The house is very well maintained and we will definitely plan to come back again!

Loved our stay

We loved everything about our stay at the Penthouse. The condo was very spacious and the view was terrific. Two or three dozen dolphins playing in the surf even greeted us when we first arrived - can't beat that! We especially liked the whole-wall map of the world in the living area. We definitely plan to return.

The Penthouse was perfect for our extended family gathering!

With our parents, daughter, son-in law and grands, this house was perfect. Each adult couple had their own king size bed and most had private baths. The upstairs worked perfectly for my daughter, her husband and two children! The views were amazing! The beds were comfortable! We can't wait to go back! Thank you for a perfect stay!

Excellent Choice

This is a great property and was perfect for our family of 9. Plenty of room for everyone to have alone time if desired as well as together time. Right on the beach and a 5 minute walk to the downtown area with great restaurants. Our kids and grand kids are ready to rent this property again. The owner is a super guy and easy to work with.

A Beautiful Home in a Fabulous Location

This is a beautiful home with stunning views of the ocean. Only three of us stayed here, but there is enough space and supplies for a very large family. The beds and furniture are comfy. The best part is the large deck with views of the ships coming in. It's a very short walk to town with great restaurants and shops. We hope to return soon and thank the owners for sharing their home with us.
