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.

Perfect Getaway Cottage
This was a wonderful location for kayaking, fishing, and golfing. The cottage kitchen was well equipped for making our own meals. The bed was extremely comfortable. The location is perfect for a day trip to Savannah, or to the many islands nearby. This is the perfect place to get away and take a break.

Cottage getaway
We had a very relaxed stay here. It was quiet and fun being away from all the hustle and bustle where we live just north of Atlanta. If you’re looking for a very small place to stay on the saltwater to relax, fish, and go crabbing this is a great spot. Not sure how good fishing is here in the area, we didn’t have much luck but I believe it’s the time of the year. The crabbing was very slow also but we caught enough to have a meal! Great place for a couple to stay.
