THE SPACE
Living Area:

As you enter the home from the front porch, you will find a living area with comfortable seating to watch TV and all the activity outside through the magnificent bay window. In this open space, there is a lovely dining area with seating for 8 and double doors which open to the screened porch.

Kitchen, Laundry and Screened Porch:

The kitchen is generous in size and features a banquette for morning cereal as well as ample cabinet space, a farm sink, new stainless steel appliances, and a gas range stove. It is fully stocked with a gourmet cook in mind.

The laundry area is off a hall which leads from the kitchen to the screened porch.

The porch was designed for making memories with friends and family while eating Lowcountry Boil, playing board games or a fierce competition of Charades. The dining table can be easily extended to allow seating for 10. In quieter times, enjoy the breeze while reading in the comfortable seating and listening to the crickets chirping, the horns of the ships arriving or leaving the Port of Brunswick and the waves crashing on the beach.

Bedrooms:

Upstairs features two masters with extra large rooms with queen beds. Each bedroom has an adjoining beautiful tile bathroom with large showers. One bathroom also has a free-standing soaking tub. Both bedrooms have a seating area for quiet time or watching TV.

Downstairs features two generously sized bedrooms, one with a queen bed and one with twin beds. These rooms are connected by a jack-n-jill bath with double vanity separated from the tub and toilet area. Both rooms have a TV.

Outdoor Shower:

Enjoy showering al fresco in the brand new temperature controlled shower after rising on a beautiful summer morning or cleaning up after a day of fun on the beach.

Tree House:

There is a very fun tree house in the backyard which is reachable by stairs from the deck. It can provide hours of fun and the perfect place for a special dinner for children.

Additional Information:

An entirely new HVAC system was installed in 2022. It has an upgraded filter/air purifier system which is helpful to allergy or asthma sufferers. There is also a dehumidifier system which provides superior air filtration to the entire home and dedicated moisture control which keeps the house dry and extra cool feeling. New recirculating tankless hot water system.

There is a wonderful park a half a block away which is perfect for Corn Hole (provided at the house) or playing catch.

Note: Fireplace is not operational and not available for use.

More about the historic aspect of the house:

The house was originally constructed in 1867 for the Episcopal Vicar who traveled around to parishes in the area. It was located at Gascoigne Bluff (Epworth) near the entrance to the island. Later in 1988, it was disassembled (each board and brick was numbered and labeled), moved and rebuilt at its current location. The rich architectural details include original heart pine floors, reclaimed brick, wood and original windows. The stunning bay window in the front contains the original hand poured glass. The daisy chain etching on the front entry door pays homage to the motif behind the altar at Christ Church. Stars are another motif throughout the house thus the name, Morning Star. The original star can be found on a rafter tail on the front porch. The architect/owner of the house who moved and reconstructed it added more stars and the current owner carried on that tradition in the most recent renovation.

We're located mid-beach - halfway between the St Simons Pier Village and East Beach. This stretch of beach is not tide dependent and has plenty of walking distance in both directions. We're walking distance to local restaurant favorites like Crab Daddy's, Barrier Island Brewing, Fiddlers, and Porch.

Our stay at this house was wonderful. Our whole family was there (5 adults and 1 toddler), and there was ample space for being comfortable and feeling at home. Lots of games in house and puzzles! Easy walk to the beach and to the "downtown" area. Would definitely recommend this stay!

Guest Review

by Blanche
Loved our stay at this beautiful home! Every detail made the experience a perfect island vacation for our family. The screened porch was the best for enjoying coffee on rainy mornings, and playing scrabble or chess in the evenings. The location is excellent. We rented bikes, and cruised all around the charming neighborhoods. The beach is a short walk away. Hope to be back soon!

This is a lovely place to vacation. It is within very easy walking distance to the beach. Restaurants and shops are a very short car ride or a nice walk from the house. The house itself is beautiful. The furniture is comfortable, and it was very clean. We particularly enjoyed the history of this special place.
