This house has a screened-in porch, 57 ft. long, looking out over the marshes and a tidal creek with a view of Sapelo Island in the distance. Adjacent to the porch is a 16X18 ft. deck. Sit in our Hot Springs hot tub at night on that deck under a canopy of brilliant stars, undiminished by civilization's lights. There are five sets of french doors that open onto the porch on the southeast side. Open the front door and the french doors, and a gentle breeze blows through the whole house. Yet the whole house is quite private. Our house is adjacent, but away from your viewscape. Any other neighbors are barely visible.

The kitchen overlooks the great room, with a view of the marsh through three sets of French doors. The master bedroom suite is on one side of the house, with the other two bedrooms on the other side. Two bedrooms with king size beds have French doors that open up to the porch -- or sleep on the bed on the porch, if you like. An office and den and the dining room is on the northwest. They overlook an almost private 1.5 acre freshwater pond, that you can fish in (blue gills only) and is full of wildlife and exotic birds, which include roseate spoonbills, wood storks, black-crowned night herons, white ibis', great egrets and snowy egrets, little blue herons, tri-colored herons, green herons, hooded mergansers and pileated woodpeckers. A walking trail goes around the pond (with a detour around the one other house on the pond). Dolphins will occasionally forage in the tidal creek right next to the house. The third bedroom, with a queen bed, views the pond and a corner of the marsh. We also have an office (with a futon) that faces the lagoon. If you just want to hang out, we have a flat screen HDTV, Blu Ray player, Netflix and Amazon Prime instant stream movies, plus a good sound system.

Six people can sleep in the 3 bedrooms. Two additional people can sleep on the futon in the office. (note: we offer a maximum of eight people, and we charge an additional $5/night/person over four people.)

Two sit-on-top double kayaks and one canoe are on-site, making it easy to get on the tidal creek right from our property during a high tide. We also have eight bikes of various types sizes. For motor boats, there is a public launch for a fee (back-in trailer for free) a few miles away. Take your own boat out to Sapelo Island (within sight of the house) and its beautiful beaches, or take the $5 ferry from it's launch a mile away. Drive 25, min. to the Harris Neck Wildlife Reserve and see the finest bird rookeries on the Georgia Coast and probably the whole southeast Atlantic Coast.

    The house is poorly maintained. The house is covered in mold, steps to enter house deplorable, garage doors missing, window sills dirty, mattress so old topper has been added. Linens, blankets and towels old. Scaled coffee maker full of old grinds. Chairs in dining room wobbly. Recliner in living gets stuck open. Ceiling fan blades with edged dust mounds. After booking this house I happen to be in the area and drove by to see location. Contacted the host to tell him the house needs to be cleaned, garage door fixed and lawn cut. He promised to have this done. He had 9 months before our booking. I kept the booking based on his promise. We arrived and nothing had been addressed. I contacted the host Don Carson. He said we like to keep the lawn natural for nature and there are ping pong tables in the garage. If I could have found another place last minute I would have left. I was embarrassed since I’m the one who set it up and my family was disappointed. I do not recommend and I will never return.

    Our host was very responsive to our needs. Lives near by. This property is Quite, peaceful, secluded. Morning sunrise over marsh is relaxing. Huge porch, did I say peaceful Kitchen well equipped, nice dishes, glasses and good assortment of pots and pans. The wheelchair ramp is very helpful for bringing in supplies.

    The property was in a lovely spot on the marsh and was open and comfortable. There was plenty of space for 3 couples and we really appreciated the willingness of the host to let us use bicycles, kayaks, and binoculars. We enjoyed exploring the nature in the area and opted to go to the beach within an easy drive since our weekend turned out to be so warm. A lovely stay!

    Wonderful spatial property with exceptional views from the large screened porch. Enjoyed eating within the graciously stocked kitchen as well as at fine seafood restaurants nearby. Our ramblings were historical, scenic, and fulfilling. Home base was exceptional.

    We loved everything about this gem of a property: the huge porch where we watched amazing sunrises, ate dinner, and relaxed on; the comfortable mattress in the master bedroom; great WiFi; fully stocked kitchen; and the hot tub to relax and count the stars after a full day! Our dog got lots of good sniffs during his walks on the property and we had little thrills seeing the two resident alligators in the pond near the house! Highly recommend this place for a tranquil and peaceful escape.

    We chose this property as a retreat with our sisters. What a wonderful place to send two weeks at. First we all are over 60 and the handicap ramp worked fabulous. The screened porch was wonderful for our two Yorkies that came, too! Here’s a summary of our stay: Kitchen is stocked with anything kind of pan or kitchen tool you could need which is perfect for the cooks like us. Beds were all very comfortable for sleeping in late. Our family has orthopedic issues so beds are important to us. Recliners in living room was very helpful, too. Don was very helpful and pleasant but did not invade our space. Birdwatcher dream! Our only complaint was that the ceiling fans needed some cleaning attention. Don’t forget your bug spray, too! Very wonderful vacation and we would return!

    As many others have stated, the view off the back screen porch is awesome! We also enjoyed watching the egrets and roseate spoonbills off in the marsh. The house was wonderful and the beautiful art throughout made us feel like we were in an art museum. Our hosts were fabulous greeting us when we arrived and providing lights when the power went out for a couple of hours (after effects of Hurricane Helene). We will definitely be back again to stay at this great location.

    This property exceeded my expectations from the moment I stepped inside. The house is large, spacious, and clean, especially considering it stands directly on the marsh. The view is indescribable, and so peaceful. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. There’s plenty of towels, toilet paper, and extra pillows. Bed and pillows are comfy. Don has superb hosting skills. He quickly greeted us at arrival, and checked up throughout our stay. He is eager to assist with kayaking, bike routes, and just all around friendly. The property is soul soothing.

    The views are gorgeous. Even in the rain. The porch is the perfect place for a cup of coffee or a nap. The absolute sense of peace that we left with is priceless.

    This was a very secluded, private place to stay at. There was plenty of space and the screened porch was amazing to just sit and watch the marsh. We had a couple of issues but the owner was pretty responsive. I will definitely be back to stay here again.
