About this house rental
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.

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.

The property was very nice for a family beach trip, the location to town was great!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

Second-story view, framed by beautiful live oaks, of St. Simons Sound. Light-filled property. Perfect for two; large enough for several more, including kids.

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.

Great location and nice house!
This was a nice home with great floor plan and location! The view was amazing from the porch! Our group was 75-14 yo and all had a great time. The swimming beach was just a short drive away and the village was a short walk or golf cart ride away. We would definitely rent this home again!

Wonderful stay on St. Simons Island!
I traveled to St. Simons with my husband, three children (ages 13, 11, and 8), and our dog for spring break this year. When we arrived at the home on Sunday evening, dolphins were jumping and splashing right outside our back door, and the pool was already heated and ready for us. The house was spotless with lots of room for all of us. We particularly loved the screened-in porch, where we ate most of our meals and enjoyed the view of the ocean. The house shares a deck on the water with another home, and we spent some time on the deck almost every day while the kids played on the beach or when we were watching dolphins during dinner. We loved watching the tide come in and out, and the public beach was never crowded and right outside our back door. We also enjoyed the nearby lighthouse and public park. The house truly could not have been more convenient for restaurants and attractions. We rode our bikes to the other end of the island almost every day, and we loved the pool within a fenced-in yard for our dog. All in all, it was just what we needed as a family, and we hope to come back soon!

Wonderful Week!
We had such a wonderful time on our vacation at this property! The location was ideal for us as we had several small children which made such close access to beach, water park, playground and village such a blessing. There was plenty of space for our family group, and we all loved the beachside porch....especially for nightly relaxation after kids were down for the night.
We were a bit concerned about a "tidal beach" but all worked out well as we just flipped our outdoor time between the beach and the pool.
It would have been nice to have a larger refrigerator in the kitchen. Since our group included smaller children, we ate in for all meals and did no dining out. We found it necessary to supplement with ice chests for cold storage during the week. Also, the master bedroom was a bit warm so a box fan was purchased to help circulate the air in that space. Just a couple of minor inconveniences, but certainly nothing that wasn't manageable.
Also, it should be mentioned that even though the rental info offers 'shared access', there really didn't seem to be any "sharing" of the deck overlooking the beach. We actually met the owners of that property who did not mention sharing as an option since there is a locked gate requiring a code. Again, no problem for us as the screened porch offers a great view of the ocean.
Overall, we enjoyed the property immensely, will look forward to staying again, and would highly recommend.

Awesome getaway!
We and another family (4 adults & 5 children, ages 8, 8, 6, 5 & 1 and a dog) had an amazing getaway at this St. Simons house! It was exactly the change of pace we needed during this crazy time!
The home was as advertised. It appears that the owners have recently updated the home (fresh paint smell!). The bunk room on the lower level was amazing! It's spacious & the steps with cubbies to the top bunks are a great touch! You’ll want to note that one of the bedrooms on the lower level has the pool pump right outside of it’s window & can be noisy. We put the dog’s crate in that room for this trip so it didn’t bother us.
Also worth noting is there’s no actual dining room - there is a dining table you can extend out in the living area, but there’s also the high top table on the screen porch which the kids used, and loved! The screen porch is perfect & we loved sitting out there listening to the waves at night! The master bedroom is on the second floor with the kitchen & living room, and has a huge closet - big enough for our son to sleep in in his pack & play!
Having the pool was perfect, and really is a must as you do not have direct beach access during high tide, so be sure to look up the tide tables for your trip. The pool is advertised as heated, however the heat would not remain constant. We had the property manager come out to turn it on & they showed us how to use the controls, but we could not figure out how to keep the hot tub actually hot during our stay. Thankfully the kids didn’t mind, and thoroughly enjoyed the pool!
We got the sense that we may be some of the first renters since the home has been updated, and we did have a few suggestions for making this rental more comfortable, but these in no way took away from our enjoyable experience!
In the bunk room, it'd be great if there was a bit more storage for clothing (currently only 1 dresser).
The whole house, especially the lower level, could use some more floor rugs in the hallways. We especially could have used these when coming in from the pool, as the kids slipped quite a bit on the wet floor. Even some extra towels would’ve been nice to be able to use to dry the floors. We also wished there were more bath mats for showers & bath rugs for the tile.
We also could’ve used a broom for both the pool area outdoors, and for general tidying indoors.
In the kitchen, we really would’ve appreciated some food storage/tupperware.
Overall this house is a great find & a great location!

Pool Area
The house and location is perfect. I would suggest leaving a broom or something so that the pool area can be swept daily. Or remove some trees. Lots of leaves around the pool

Home Run!
The house was all that it could be in the location, and design. We loved being located so very close to downtown and the beach. The house is very nicely decorated with new linens and kitchen utensils. We loved every part of it.. We did have a bit of any issue with the coolness of the lower bedrooms and would suggest perhaps taking a large fan for the last bedroom downstairs as the a/c does not cool it as well as the rest of the house. Management was very quick to answer our call but it is the design of the house and we are post-menopausal... Love the island !

Not really a private deck
We enjoyed the house a lot. We know they spray for bugs as there were several large dead ones laying around the house (not sure how good the housekeepers are). The ice machine is a fabulous touch. The property lacks hot water in the kitchen (the water didn't get hot enough to wash dishes in the dishwasher). The master shower is wonderful with a lot of pressure. Love the back porch and the view of the water. The location is great and close to the downtown area and the lighthouse. Regarding the "Private Deck" for sunning ... there was another group that claimed that they owned the deck and had the combination to the lock and also used it nightly with a group from 6-8 adults each night. That was disappointing. We didn't feel that it was our place to dispute it as they did have the combination to the lock. Other than that we DID enjoy the property.
