  My husband and I stayed here for a couple of nights during our first trip to Georgia and loved this cottage! Clean, comfortable, well equipped, it was also private and in such a beautiful spot with the Spanish moss covered oaks! The owners were friendly and super easy to deal with and steered us right on where to eat and what to see (St. Simonds and Jekyll Islands). Located close to Savannah, Beaufort, and other must-see places, it makes for a great base while visiting the area. I highly recommend this cottage!

  Everything about the stay at Oaks of Eden was as good as all previous reviews. Very secluded and off the beaten path. If you are looking for alot of comotion this is not the place for you. If you want to relax, you have hit the nail on the head. Property was well kept, hosts were just that...very hospitable. The stay was most enjoyable. Will definately return. Thanks John and Sue! Now, about food. If you want some truly local fried seafood, fresh and good, try B&J steak and seafood. Awesome local food. Not much too look at but truely local eats. Buffet is amazingly cheap looking but awesomely good. If the atmosphere does not do it for you get it to go. Just leave the poperty and neighborhood and go left on the highway. When you get to the town of Darien go right on the highway and B&J is up the road on the left. If you like to eat you will not be dissapointed. If you want fine dining, check out Vics on the river on river street in Savannah. Amazing food. A definate must visit. Thoroughly enjoyed this past weekend!

  What the other reviews say is true. It is a great little getaway house in the shade of wonderful live oak trees. John and Sue were wonderful hosts and Luna is a treat. The house is located close enough to Savannah, Charleston, and Jacksonville for great day trips. It is a peaceful retreat away from the noise and hustle of life. We did the tourist thing and ate at Paula Deen's place in Savannah. It was great home cooking. We opted out of Skippers and found great seafood at Iguana's on St Simon Island. And if you want amazing 5 star dining, go to Vic's in historic downtown Savannah. We highly recommend the property and would go back anytime!

  We've made two separate visits to Eden Oaks during the past month. It is a truly special place and John and Sue made our visit so enjoyable with their attentiveness and hospitality. The setting is like something out of a storybook with huge, moss laden oak trees---and with access to the beautiful marsh scenery just a hundred feet away at the owner's back porch.. The location is superb for visiting all of the sites on the central Georgia Coast----Sapelo Island, Harris Neck NWR, Darien, Shellman Bluff, The Golden Isles, etc.--and Savannah is only an hour north. A one mile walk from the cottage down to Seabreeze island takes you from a dense, shady forest to a wide open coastal paradise in minutes----and the sunrise is spectacular. This is really a very special place and one of the best rentals in which we've ever stayed. P.S. Oh--- can't forget to mention Luna (their pooch) who wins the prize for her sweetness and her adorable blue eyes.

  My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the days spent at the cottage as well, the surrounding area. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and just enough space for 2 adults to share and have a most relaxed getaway ! Taking a bike ride on the road going further into the island is a very relaxing experience and easy riding for the novice. There are several local restraunts to enjoy great seafood or purchase and cook for yourself in the cottage. We will be going back again and would recommend it to people who are responsible and appreciate having a nice place at an affordable price. Both John and Sue are great hosts !

  My girlfriend and I stayed at this cabin the weekend after Thanksgiving to escape the craziness of family and Black Friday. We arrived at the cabin late at night and were greeted with fresh baked Chocolate Banana Bread, coffee, and a bag of organic greens grown there on the property. This cabin is only around 350-400sq ft but is perfectly laid out. We were incredibly comfortable and had an amazingly relaxing time during our stay in Darien. If you're looking to get away somewhere different and secluded this place is an absolute must. Take some time to experience Coastal Georgia and take in its incredible Geechee heritage..

  I booked this "mini vaca" as a birthday gift to my fiancee - who knew I needed it as much as he did!?! We arrived (after some helpful instructions from John) safely - from the moment we got there, we felt the stress fall off our shoulders. The chocolate banana nut bread, the sweet note, and the kindness we received from our hosts (and let's not forget the blue eyed Luna!) were more than enough to make the trip worth it. The property is immaculate, and had everything we needed and then some. The owners make sure that you are well taken care of, but aren't too intrusive. We really enjoyed our time (even with the thunderstorms and the rain!), and hope that we can come back really soon!! You won't regret coming here - it's so peaceful, and there's just enough to do to keep you entertained! P.S. Watch the short films John recommends - you won't be disappointed!

  We spent a week at Oaks of Eden; what a little gem this place is! The cottage was private, set in among moss-covered oak trees, where it was tranquil and relaxing. We had a wonderful time eating at the local restaurants and, playing golf at Sapelo Hammock Golf Course. But best of all were the hosts: John and Sue. They catered to our every need but, were not intrusive. The cottage is clean and bright and happy! Not to mention we immensely enjoyed the fresh bread, coffee, lemons and organic lettuce too. Our vacation week started out great and ended up even better - GRAND - thanks to John and Sue, who started out as our hosts but, ended up being our friends! Later (as John would say...never say good-bye), Michele and Don

  If your looking to get away with your sweetheart or maybe just yourself, you need look no further then Oaks of Eden! My husband and I stay here for our anniversary recently and had the most wonderful time. The cottage was fresh, clean and well maintained. When we arrived Jiohn and Sue had plenty of coffee and their famous chocolate chip nut bread waiting just for us! Great for snuggle up with you honey and if you don't want to cook their are plenty of places to eat. John and Sue had bikes for our personal use and we enjoyed gliding along the marsh on well kept roads. If you are a true nature lover you need to experience Oaks of Eden. Bye the way, you need to stop by the " Purple Pickle" great place to grab a bite to eat. Quirky, fun interior and the best and most unique food I have had in a long time. The "Holy Moses" sandwich was to die for, but start out with the herbed pita chips and chicken buffalow dip I promise you won't leave this place hungry!! Thanks John and Sue for a great adventure and May the Lord Bless You Always...... We will be back again and again........

  There isn't really anything much I can add to the other stellar (and accurate) reviews. My husband and I booked this cottage based on ALL positive reviews, and weren't sure what we were heading in to. What we needed was quiet solitude to recoup and relax and the Oaks of Eden did not disappoint in the least. As others noted, we were greeted by John and given a proud master tour. The cottage was perfect as was the bread and fresh vegetables. We went reclusive, but that was our choice! There is plenty to see and do nearby. We thought we'd eat out a lot, but then close to eat in most of the time and enjoy the beaches during the day. John is attentive without being intrusive. He offered excellent information on places to go and things to see. I can't say enough about our experience at the Oaks of Eden. It certainly is a photographer's dream. The cottage is impeccably clean and well supplied. Perfect. Can I give it more than 5 stars? Thanks John and Sue for the rejuvenation we so needed!
