The Hideaway is in the private community of Pleasure Bluff which is located on the Julienton River near Shellman Bluff, Georgia. The Intercoastal Waterway Marker 145 in Sapelo Sound is just minutes from the dock.

The Pleasure Bluff community was started in the 1920's by families who loved to come to the salt water rivers on the coast of Georgia to fish. The cottages, cabins, and mobile homes in the community are all privately owned. There are only four owners that live here full time. The other owners use their places infrequently. The dirt and gravel roads are private and peace and serenity abound. This is a perfect place for a break from noise, traffic, and crowds.

The Hideaway has a queen bed in the the master bedroom and a double bed in the guest bedroom and two full baths. The Great Room has a comfortable sofa, day bed, and two leather recliners. Darien Cable TV and High Speed Internet access with loads of channels for three TV'S. The kitchen is fully equipped for you to prepare any meal.

The Julienton River is a saltwater river within ten minutes of the Intercoastal Waterway in Sapelo Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. This area is a very special paradise not yet discovered by the masses. Peace and serenity abound.

The Serenity Place Dock is on Julienton River (about 500 feet from The Hideaway) and the upper covered deck area has hammocks, lounge chairs, ceiling fans, rocking chairs, dining table and chairs, and sinks. The 55 foot floating dock has 17 feet of water at low tide. You can dock a boat or yacht up to 70 feet long. Water and power hook ups are available. Spend peaceful time inside or sit on the dock with views to the Southeast of Sapelo Sound, Julienton, Broro, and Sapelo Rivers.

This area is great for walking and biking along dirt trails and small paved roads. My guests have included artists, photographers, chefs, and authors. This is a very special place for those who enjoy nature and are looking for peace, serenity, solitude, and inspiration.

There are great seafood restaurants within a few minutes of The Hideaway. Fresh seafood is available at local markets and also from local fishermen. The Georgia seafood is the best.

Settle into the rocking chairs on the Serenity Place Dock and enjoy your evening cocktail time or your fresh brewed morning coffee. At sunrise and sunset, the water changes shades as it is infused with all the colors of the rainbow. Your panoramic view changes with the time and the tides. You watch as the sun strikes gold on the marsh grass that stretches across the river to Harris Neck Island and reaches as far North and South as you can see. Day and night the sky is mirrored in the river and art is created in front of your eyes. The view constantly changes as the tides come and go and leave the clean white sand beach looking as if it has never been stepped on by man.

This Georgia barrier island area is described repeatedly by authors like Eugenia Price. From the Serenity Place Dock, across Julienton River and Sapelo Sound you can see the outlines of Sapelo, Blackbeard, St. Catherine’s, and Creighton Islands. In the distance you can see the yachts and sailing ships as they move up and down the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Across the river you see the shrimp boats with nets raised high as they return to supply the local restaurants with the best seafood in the world from local waters.

Still today, these protected islands have been preserved and kept much the same as they were many years ago when Blackbeard sailed his ship here and used the islands for a base for his pirated treasure trove. Later there were days of elegant homes and plantations here.

As you enjoy your evening cocktails on the dock while relaxing in the Pawley’s Island Hammocks, you can be soothed by the Bose sound system as it surrounds you with the music genre or artist of your choice.

The sky is full of sea and shore birds, wood stork, egrets, herons, sea hawks, pelicans, and sea gulls. Watch as they finish feeding and return to their nests and roosts. You may have the privilege of watching as bald eagles feed in the river and rare and endangered woodpeckers retrieve their dinner from the bark of the 100 feet tall virgin pine trees. For the bird lovers, varying with the season there are always an abundant supply and variety of land and sea birds.

As for the dolphin lovers, you can watch as they come and go with the tides and feed along the marsh banks and over the sand bar across the river. Dolphin watch goes on day and night. Stargazing is great due to the limited competing light. Full moon is a wonderful time on the river.

Here on Julienton and Sapelo Rivers we are steeped in the history of days gone by. Today the peace and quiet surround you as you listen to the sounds of nature mixed with wind chimes as the breeze blows. Many of my guests have become friends that return here when they need to have peace, serenity, and solitude. I hope you will decide to come.
