3BR Chachalaca Retreat on Sapelo w/ firepit, screened-in porch, & beach supplies

We had an amazing stay while on Sapelo. John communicated very well and was reachable if we needed him. It was the perfect place for our family! We can’t wait to return.

Great lodging wonderful cottage tha absolute full pkg. So many extras.Would recommend for anyone wanting an amazing stay and peace a quiet.

Been staying here for years and love it…. We always look forwarded to it every year or twice a year

We enjoyed everything about our trip. Everyone was so nice and helpful. We loved the Island and the beach. The house was beautiful and well stocked. It was a great weekend getaway! We will be back very soon....!

Awesome house, amazing place. A+++. Can't wait to go back.

The property was nicely appointed, comfortable beds, great screen porch for meals and very quiet in tucked away side “street.” (A path that deadends into a wooded nook). Assuming the one neighboring house is empty (it was for us and we felt like we had our own little piece of the woods). A utility shed has beach supplies, bikes, games, but the game changer was the included Kawasaki Mule, which was our ever present guide and explorer of this wild island. Everyday we’d discover something or somewhere knew in this vehicle that could travel just about anywhere. And most of the time we were the only ones at these destinations. Such a unique place. Use Emma’s to help you book a fishing trip. We had a great time with Capt Massa. Use Sharron Grovner for a local dinner, and her mom Lula supposedly hosts a great dinner too.

Overall, the property is quite nice. Sapelo Island itself isn't much to visit in the winter time or, frankly, any time at all unless you're really into hanging out on pristine, secluded beaches. (In season, in terms of activities, I suppose fishing from the beach -- surf casting -- might be fun & productive. And birding's always available, though I wouldn't say Sapelo Island is a riot of interesting bird life.) In retrospect, my main feeling is that while the property is nice and the manager, John LaFeve, is extremely on-the-ball and responsive, the rental is not worth the price -- it's too expensive for what you get or need.

We went for a relaxing weekend of hiking and looking at the stars. We enjoyed ourselves

My family has vacationed at this property for the last 2 Labor Day holidays. And we'll likely be there next Labor Day. The home was well appointed, clean, and well stocked on both occasions. My children LOVE the tree swing in the front yard. Watching deer, cows (seriously), armadillos, and skinks from the backyard is simply amazing. Location is perfect. The home is just far enough out of Hog Hammock to make you feel like you are in your own world, and yet the little general store is only 5 minutes away. The motorized mule that comes with the rental is a must in order to take the old non-paved road to the beach. Looking forward to my next trip to Chachalaca!

Our stay has been absolutely wonderful. This house has everything you need. Very comfortable. Beds are great - but tall! The Mule was fun. John, property manager, was on top of things for us. I hope Sapelo stays undeveloped and the beach as pristine as it is. Quiet quiet quiet. I was the only person in the water this afternoon. We’ve already booked a return stay. Taking home memories and sand dollars. Short drive to beach, but you wouldn’t want to walk it. A really nice place to stay. Just keep it simple with food and clothes that you have to tote on the ferry, and enjoy the quiet.
