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.

Lovely peaceful cottage on the marshland
We really enjoyed the cottage for 2 days, just sitting by the water watching the changing sky and the tide, sipping beers on the porch. Would definitely stay again. The only thing I would mention is that the bed is small and for two adults it is quite 'cosy'. If you are larger or taller or just like your space, you might find it is too small.

Little slice of heaven!
Such a wonderful little cabin. It was clean, tidy, and equiped with all of the essentials. We really enjoyed our stay! The view is gorgeous from the front porch. We loved sitting there in the morning to watch the sunrise and drink our coffee. And, the sunset was just as spectacular with our evening wine.

A Quiet & Peaceful Retreat
My husband & I had a fantastic time here! The cottage is in the perfect location & the hosts were amazing. All descriptions of the property were accurate - there were no unpleasant surprises! If you like to fish/crab this is the ultimate place to stay! The screened in porch was nice. There are good restaurants in the Darien area, also. But if you prefer to eat in, the kitchen is well appointed. We definitely want to stay here again.
