THE SPACE
SEACLUSION is the upper floor of a unique two-unit oceanfront vacation property on St. Simons Island, accessible via an outdoor stairway to the upper deck.
SEACLUSION is located directly on the sandy shore of the Atlantic Ocean, within one-half mile or a 10-minute walk to the village/pier area. Our home has recently been renovated and features a DIRECT and UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW of the Atlantic Ocean, the beach, the shipping channel, and Jekyll Island. You will have peace and quiet in your private beachfront backyard while enjoying 180-degree beautiful ocean views from your living room, open kitchen, and dining room through two sets of big glass sliders. You can see Jekyll Island and Cumberland Island from the patio and living room, and throughout the day you can experience the ever-changing tidal patterns that come with the ocean's gentle ebb and crashing flow on the rocks in front of SEACLUSION.
Enjoy waking up and walking out to your private deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, feeling the wonderful ocean breezes above your own private white sand beach.
Sit back and relax.

Sit in the sun and get a tan.

Each unit features two bedrooms with comfortably appointed king beds and an open dining room/living room with a sofa sleeper with unobstructed ocean views .

Location was great...communication with property manager was timely (they apologized about the complaints but did nothing about them)
Day 1: chair outside broke with my 83 year old mother in it. Chair was not replaced and we only had three chairs around the table. The weather was gorgeous but we couldn't sit around the table outside. Comforter in guest bedroom had sand on it upon arrival. There was one ice tray in the freezer with no ice. The kitchen was poorly stocked.
Day 3: landscaping company came at 8am and mowed and blew for an hour waking everyone up TV was fuzzy so we switched to Netflix and then streaming didn't work due to lag time.
None of these are life changing problems but when you pay a high price you don't expect to have these issues. I work hard to pay for vacations and shouldn't have receive less than was expected. I kept up with my end of the deal, paid on time and left on time; therefore, I think Lighthouse management should have to as well.

The property was perfect for up to four people. Beds are comfy, two baths is great, plenty of bath towels. Amazing beach views, right next to public beach access (pro and con). Two TVs, ceiling fans in bedrooms are appreciated. We always appreciate pet friendly rentals, as do our two furbabies.

Great getaway spot!
My husband and I and our two close friends stayed over a long weekend and had a wonderful time. It was so refreshing to be right on the beach and also being so close the town area with all the restaurants and shops. The house had everything we needed including comfy beds!

5 Star location
Location and the front deck were fabulous.
The house is spacious for four people.
Didn’t cook so don’t know about kitchen except kitchen sink had a lot of grime.
Owners must deep clean bathrooms.
Need outside light on stairs.
No we didn’t contact manager as we were only there 6 days and all these things should have been taken care before we arrived and not waste one of our paid days to reclean.
Definitely would rent again if cleaned.

The second time was just as fantastic as the first!
We stayed here in 2019 and wanted to return in 2020 but Covid had a different plan so we were able to stay again this year and it was just as amazing as I remembered. The property is in a perfect location, clean, everything works like it should! I was particularly excited to see that they got a new table for the deck that was a high top so you could see the ocean view. Morning tea/coffee is to die for on the deck as is evening cocktails. I can't wait to go again next year!!

Seaclusion is so charming!
We are checking out today, but would love to stay longer! My sister (from Atlanta) and I (from Florida) met here with our 3 daughters for a little summer getaway. We stayed in the second floor unit and the views from the condo (both inside and out) were amazing. After long days soaking up the sun on the beach (steps away!), we spent the evenings sipping wine on the balcony listening to the breeze and the ocean waves. The kitchen was well equipped and the large king beds (both bedrooms!) were extremely comfortable. The main living area has a great design and the open layout is perfect for hanging out and forming lasting memories with family! We loved this little hamlet and we will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you St. Simons and Seaclusion for a memorable stay!!

Hidden Gem
What's not to love about an oceanfront cottage, steps from the beach, very clean, well supplied and with prompt response from owners? We enjoyed being a short drive/bike ride to restaurants & shops. Nearby places of interest include historical St. Simons Lighthouse & Museum, Fort Frederica & Kayaking with Southeast Adventure Outfitters (Mike and Cathy were awesome guides).

Great Little Condo!
We stayed at this property from 2/8 to 2/14/2020. The condo is exactly as I’d expected from the pictures with an amazing view of the ocean. I would highly recommend choosing the upper unit for the best view. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had enough pans and cooking utensils to make dinners when we wanted to eat in. This property is an easy walk to the village area and lighthouse with lots of restaurants nearby. It does sit next to public access to the beach which wasn’t an issue in February but might be something to consider in the busier seasons.

20th Anniversary trip and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
My grandparents use to live on the island so i spent every summer and then some on the island. I proposed to my wife on the beach out by the Coast Guard Station area. We have visited the island several times over the years. Seaclusion was the perfect stay. Each evening having the doors open and being able to listen to the waves was very relaxing. The access to the beach is steps away from your door. We had to pleasure of meeting the owners while we were staying there which they were the nicest, most caring people. We had minor issue while we were there and Jennifer had it taken care of before we even realized it. Location is great.....so close to pier village where you can park and walk the shops and have access to some great places to eat and have a cocktail. Can't wait to come back!

Perfect location
The property was exactly as listed online and we had a good time! It is ocean front so the view was amazing. There is public beach access is right next to the property so it was an easy walk to the beach and the proximity to the Village was excellent.
The place was clean and the indoor furniture was nice and very comfortable. The property managers were very responsive to my questions and seemed genuinely interested in making our stay as nice as possible. However the place was dated and a little run down. The pictures online were likely taken some time ago and by professional photographers. The entrance door is sticky and hard to close. The bathrooms and especially the showers could use some updating. Other than repairs there look to have been no improvements made for many years. There was no ice maker in the refrigerator so make sure to buy ice. The patio furniture is worn (with one chair ripped badly enough we didn't use it) and it is not what is shown in the pictures. Bar height patio chairs would make the view of the ocean so much more enjoyable. Also, I was so looking forward the the 'private' beach area and grass lawn but the sand has been washed away and not replaced.

Best Place To Stay!
The property and location exceeded our expectations. Proximity to the Village perfect, we could walk on the street or when the tide was out walk to the Village on the beach.
There is everything you could need if you want to cook your meals. The Bankers are amazing and very responsive. Being dog friendly on top of that made our stay complete. We will definitely go back.

Can't wait to come back!
The property was exactly as listed online and we had a great time! There are so many pros to staying in Seaclusion (the upper unit). The views were amazing. We took our pups for a walk on the beach every morning/night and they loved it! We spent a lot of time on the beach but it was nice that there was also a patch of healthy thick grass for the dogs to use. As an added bonus, there is a child gate provided to block off the balcony, so the dogs were able to sit out on the balcony with us without us having to fear that they'd run off. It was delightful.
Public beach access is quite literally right next to the property so it is a very short walk. The beach never felt crowded, even when it was busy. The food options are fantastic - lots of great restaurants and grocery store options. The island is easy to navigate and the people are friendly.
The indoor furniture was well maintained and comfortable. The master bedroom mattress was a little soft/bouncy for my taste but we slept just fine. The property managers are responsive - the coffee pot was missing the carafe but they brought a whole new coffee pot when I let them know.
Only a few "cons" and they are extremely minor. The back door is sticky and hard to close. It was just a minor inconvenience but seems like it should be an easy fix. The fridge is very basic (no ice machine) so we had to buy ice. The patio furniture is a bit dated and it would have been so much more enjoyable to have bar height furniture so that the view of the ocean wasn't obstructed by the patio railing and slats. To see the beach, you had to stand up. I would have loved to enjoy my morning coffee while sitting and gazing at the beach, but it wasn't really possible with the standard height patio furniture. Also, one of the four patio chairs was ripped so badly that I didn't feel comfortable sitting in it. It wasn't an issue for us because we only had 2 people, but if we had 4, then one person would have been sagging towards the ground.
