Location: Darien, Coastal, Georgia, USA (45 min. to Savannah, St. Simons & Jekyll. 10 min. to Darien)

Accommodations:  House, 3 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 2.5+ Baths (Sleeps 6)

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.

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 and high-thread-count linens 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 northeast. They overlook an almost private lagoon, that you can fish in and is full of wildlife and exotic birds, which include wood storks, hooded mergansers and pileated woodpeckers. The third bedroom, with the queen size bed, views the lagoon and a corner of the marsh.

Bring your kayaks, boats, and bikes. They can all be locked inside the large garage, under the house. One flat boat and canoe and five bikes are on-site. We recommend fat tire bikes, if you plan on riding on any of the many sandy roads. However there are many of good rides for skinny tire bikes. 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 $1 ferry from it's launch a mile away. Drive 20 min. to the Harris Neck Wildlife Reserve and see the finest bird rookeries on the Georgia Coast and probably the whole southeast Atlantic Coast.

    We loved your house and the spectacular surroundings. We took the boats our in the lagoon and enjoyed your bikes, as well. The hot tub is a great addition.

  • We enjoyed this beautiful and peaceful home. It was very bright and airy with very nice decor and artwork. Great information about the area was provided. The screen porch was the best! The shower was good too. Overall, we had a wonderful time in this delightful home. Thanks!

    Great place! We love coastal Georgia but had never stayed on a marsh. It was wonderful even only for 2 days. Thanks for the last minute reservations. We would love to come back!

  • We had a wonderful time at your beautiful home on the marsh. My husband, his sister, her husband, and I all returned relaxed and rejuvenated. We opened the French doors each morning and enjoyed the breezes. The screened porch was amazing – a great place to read and watch the changing tides. We ate all of our meals out there – local fresh shrimp and soft-shelled crabs. Nature renews me and your quiet home on the marsh was just what I needed. We took the canoe out on the marsh at high tide, explored the pond with the flat-bottomed boat, and rode the bikes. The wheel-chair ramp and easy accessibility off the porch into the bedrooms and open kitchen/living areas was a great asset for our family – one that we require but are often unable to find in a vacation home. We stopped by to visit my friends at the Altamaha Riverkeeper in Darien and were pleased to learn that you are supporters. I’d encourage anyone who loves the natural beauty of this area to support this organization – they work hard to be sure that this area remains a very special place. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home. We hope to have an opportunity to return again.

    We had a wonderful beginning to the new year as a family here. The weather was perfect; I understand it was unseasonably warm while we were here. We want to come back!

    Thank you for sharing your lovely Marsh Breeze with me. I will miss bird watching, critter listening,biking and resting. Yes, a must-see experience is watching sunsets and sunrises from the porch. Sometimes there is a manatee or dolphin swimming in the tidal creek. You can see Sapelo Island from here. I enjoyed raw oysters and $1 draft beer at Skippers in Darien. I was very happy to get back to Jekyll Island too. It has been maybe 30 years; hope not to wait so long next time.

  • A most glorious 4th of July getaway. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Do read all of the guest comments. When you do you will see the variety of blissful options that await you at this location. There is such a diverse availability of options that everyone in a large group is kept happy and content. You can stay busy or you can laze around - your choice. The house is wonderful. The view is even more so - front and back. Mr. Carson is very helpful and is always available by phone if you have a question. If you love the marsh and all that comes with it, try this house. We definitely plan to go back in the future.

    The most relaxing vacation we could have had. The house is just so comfortable , but the screened in back porch overlooking the marsh is definitely our favorite part. The breezes are heavenly. We saw two very large dolphins one evening during high tide -- the birds were numerous and came in so close. We also enjoyed the front porch area with the wildlife there. We saw a doe with her fawn that couldn't have been more than a couple days old. "So special". We want to thank you for sharing your house with us as we enjoyed the Georgia Coastal wildlife. p.s. If you like nature, the Okeefenokee Swamp at Folkston is so worth the drive. Awesome!

  • We stayed at this house from March 16-22, 2008. The property was perfect for a grandmother, uncle, mother and 10 year old girl fleeing the cold in Wisconsin. One of our favorite things about the house was the long, wide screened porch overlooking the saltmarsh, where we had our coffee and watched the sun come up each morning. A couple of evenings were cool, and we enjoyed the fireplace with a glass of wine. We appreciated the quiet and privacy (although the neighboring Blue Heron B&B was very nice and the owner invited us over for wine and cheese) as we were worried about spring breakers in the beachier towns. The birder in our group got up and birded the lagoon every day and saw hooded mergansers, lots of wood storks, night herons, woodpeckers, and warblers. We used the house as a base to explore Jekyll Island (great beaches, fiddler crabs, oysters, sea turtle center, nature center with sea kayaks available), Sapelo Island (reserve a seat on the ferry, only a 3 minute drive away down Landing road, tour the Reynolds mansion and see the lighthouse and tabby ruins), the Okefenokee swamp (about 2 hr drive, the swamp park has a boat ride, train ride and nature show) and the Harris Neck wildlife refuge (our favorite, the rookery was rich with life: wood storks, egrets, moorhens and coots, ducks, many kinds of herons and reptiles including alligators at Woody Pond). It was breezy during our stay, which helped to keep the "sand gnats" down. In calm weather these little biting flies were abundant and made us especially glad for the large screened porch. Thanks Don.

  • Our family just enjoyed a glorious month at this lovely, comfortable home. The location was convenient, the views fabulous, and the front porch a haven for warmth-deprived Minnesotans. The owner and manager were always attentive and responsive to our needs. We look forward to another visit in the future.
