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.

With parking for up to 4 cars, you’ll have plenty of room to settle in and enjoy all that East Beach has to offer.

Nestled beneath a canopy of ancient live oaks and just moments from the shoreline, The Shipwright’s Bungalow blends heritage and serenity. It’s a place to slow down, breathe in the salt air, and experience the quiet charm that has defined the island for generations.
Why Stay on East Beach:
The stretch of beach along the ocean side of St. Simons Island is known as East Beach. A quant neighborhood of single-family homes begins at the access point of the U.S. Coast Guard Station at the northern tip and ends at the southern point of Gould's Inlet by access of Bruce Drive, which runs down the center of East Beach. The Coast Guard Station houses the present home to the World War II Home Front Museum.
