Captain Andy Hill offers the most bang for your buck! We highly recommend Eagle Island and neighboring Sapelo Island. It is truly amazing BUT not for everyone. One must be adventurous and ready to go with the flow. We experienced the hottest week on record with frequent thunder and lightening storms but journeyed everyday to neighboring Sapelo, skirting the storms to find some of the best shelling (conch) and sand dollar beaches anywhere. On top of that there was hardly a soul to be found on the beaches... There is an outdoor, screened in hot tub with a fireplace...one night in the midst of a torrential downpour with the rain dancing on the tin roof and every frog, cricket etc singing to the pounding rain, we fired up the hot tub, lit the fire and sipped cocktails! Heavenly! Andy goes above and beyond and is reachable by phone... we even had a leak under the kitchen sink and within an hour, help was there and the leak fixed. I highly recommend Eagle Island, who knows, you may even see the eagle, like we did... Worried about biting flies...just stay on the cleared land around the house and you are safe! Even though we had a boat (rented from Andy), we ordered all our groceries and Andy picked them up and had the house stocked with our order!

Cathy surprised me with a trip to Eagle Island for our Valentines Day wedding anniversary. I had no idea where we were going until Captain Andy picked us up at the dock in Darien. We were delivered to the magnificant Eagle Island by boat, unloaded and said goodbye to the Captain for the weekend. This was without doubt the most relaxing weekend that I can remember. The cottage has everything you could ever need and is mega comfortable. We spent the first day exploring the island and sitting on the dock fishing, reading, and watching the many birds out in the marsh. That night we grilled steaks on the more than adequate BBQ grill, drank some wine and retired to the oversized hot tub. After a late morning we had breakfast out on the inclosed deck, showered in the outdoor shower downstairs, and began another relaxing day. (see above). At the pre arranged time Captain Andy picked us up for the trip back to Darien. On the way he took us by another property that he is rehabbing. I cannot say enough about Eagle Island and Captain Andy. The property is magnificant and is about as private as one can get. The only thing that you need to bring is a tired body and food. Andy will even bring the food if you tell him what you want. We considered an oyster roast but opted against it as we had plenty of food with us. But the option is there for you. Bring plenty of wine or your favorite beverage and enjoy peace and quite like you have never imagined. We are looking forward to another trip to Eagle Island and are talking to relatives about a family reunion there. I strongly recommend this property to anyone who wants an adventure.

This was our second visit to Eagle Island. It was different this time as instead of the children and grandchild, we only took our dog. She loved the island as much as we do. An Eagle Island vacation is about rest and relaxation. A great place to have quiet times to read and walk in the beautiful natural environment and to eat. We feel it is similar to a cruise in how much you relax and how much you eat, the exception being you do your own cooking. With Andy's grocery delivery service, it is not difficult to have plenty to eat. By all means ask him to get you fresh shrimp. Shrimp and grits or low country boil go great with the overall feel of the island, although steaks are a pretty easy treat too. Be sure to make time for a meal at Skipper"s restaurant and the gift shops near the landing. We are looking forward to our next visit.

My wife and family spent my 30th birthday at Eagle Island. I have been a lot of places and seen a lot of things and this place is definately one of the most scenic and unique places that I have visited. Andy Hill has a real gem on his hands with Eagle Island and his other projects that he has going down there on the Mayhall and Sapelo. This is a perfect place for a nice quiet retreat on the Georgia coast. Thanks Syd Rives

A group of 10 women arrived on the island on Fri. morning and left on Sun. afternoon. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. Pictures do not do this place justice. It is truly a slice of heaven on earth. Am already planning another visit with more friends. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Me and 9 other women escaped to Eagle Island this past weekend. It was "Heaven on Earth!" The house was well accomodating to everyone. The outdoor shower, outdoor swing, hot tub...the list goes on and on. I couldn't think of a better way to get away from it all than here. The cabin is beautiful, the landscaping is beautiful, EVERYTHING is marvelous!! Our guide "Paula" was fabulous as well. We all totally enjoyed our stay and are recommending it to everyone we know! We uploaded pics of our trips on facebook and all of our friends are curious about it now. We will be bringing people back here for years to come! Thanks for sharing this property, Andy!!

My family and I (6 Total) were at Eagle Island for a week, but we wanted to stay longer! This place is wonderful. Andy and his crew have thought of everything. All you need are your clothes and food. They will even pick up your groceries after you order them on line and take them out to the Island for you. The pictures of this Island do not show you the beauty of this place. If you have dogs, they will love it there as much as you. We didn't use a leash all week. We took our boat to explore the area, it was fantastic. We saw many Dolphins, Alligators, birds of all kinds. We sat on the dock at the Island one afternoon and watched 2 Manatee play. We went to the private Island beach. No one was on the beach for miles. That is huge to us, we are use to a crowded beach (Myrtle Beach) so that was a real treat. We went into Darian one afternoon and had dinner at Skippers Fish Camp, the food was great. Took our car to St. Simons to explore a little, but we could hardly wait to go back to Eagle Island. It is peaceful and so quiet there. We have never stayed at a vacation house twice and we go somewhere every year, but we are all in agreement that we will come back here again!! Andy has another place not far from Eagle that should be finished soon. My husband and I are already talking about going there. Andy was gracious enough to let us tour it, it is great! So if you want peace and quiet and someone else to handle all the little details, then Eagle is the place for you.
