Quaint Cottage on Tidal Creek with Private Dock, minutes to Shellman Bluff

Dock is brand new and will provide you access to a lively tidal creek that flows into White Chimney River and all the barrier islands that we love on the Georgia Coast.

No pets allowed. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned cottage, featuring a refrigerator and a microwave. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The setting was quiet and peaceful, and the house was spotless with a very comfortable bed. We especially enjoyed fishing and crabbing off the dock. The owners were also very responsive and easy to communicate with.

This was a great, relaxing, clean place. From the comfortable, cozy and cute home to the beautiful view of the marsh from the screened in back porch and private dock, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Emily was very attentive and was easy to get in touch with. You won't regret your stay here!

Very nice and quiet. The cottage is very comfortable. The dock is nice to fish off of or just hang out on. Only downside is that it is somewhat hard to find especially after dark.

Georgia getaway

My husband and I had a very pleasant vacation. We were out and about most of the day and would enjoy quiet time on the dock watching the tide go in/out. Lots of wildlife activity to enjoy.

Great Getaway!

This cottage was perfect for my husband and me to just get away for a couple of days. We originally planned to kayak, but we decided to head up to Savannah one day and down to Jekyll the next. We had a couple of meals and a nice walk afterwards in Darien. The location is just right for exploring up and down the Georgia coast.

Cottage on the Marsh

We drove down from Decatur GA to got to Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge and see the wood stork rookery and other birds, including the spectacular painted bunting, easily seen on the feeders by the refuge office. The cottage was far more than expected: comfortable, next to the marsh (with plentiful birds) and a short drive to the refuge. The house was very comfortable, had everything we needed, and is in a beautiful spot. It is just the right size for two.

Wonderful Location

This is one of my & my husband’s favorite place to stay. It’s quiet, it’s clean & the location is perfect. The kitchen is well appointed if you wish to prepare meals there but we always go out for dinner at the restaurants in the Darien area. Highly recommend.
