laid-back artists' retreat
Two friends and I needed to get away from the city to concentrate on writing and music composition projects. The retreat was perfect for our needs. The musicians had never seen a wild beach before and had a hoot driving the Jeep on dirt roads. The island itself offers a complete relief from urban life. Miss Lucy is a gracious and good-natured host. I can't recommend this place highly enough. We all wished we could stay longer and will probably make it an annual trip.
Awesome place
Everything was perfect. The rental was immaculate and had everything we needed. The island was just amazing. We were given. Car to drive around and loved looking at all the island had to offer. The beach was calm and often we were the only ones in sight. It was like having our own private beach. At low tide, you could walk around and find beautiful shells and sand dollars all over. The water was a bit murky at times, but beautiful to relax by, read, and enjoy the sun. The owner was so helpful and offered some information. About the island along with pretty much anu thing you would need for your trip. My only regret is that I didn't book for longer. It was so relaxing and such an interesting place!
Leaves You Wanting to Stay Longer
What an outstanding experience! The apartment is perfect. From the time Lucy picked us up at the dock to the time she dropped us off, she was an exceptional host. She made sure we had everything we needed. She has beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, bikes, absolutely anything you could need for the beach. The use of her vehicle to explore the island is the icing on the cake! Thanks Lucy for a wonderful and memorable beach vacation!
Fabulous!
We loved our time in Sapelo as we always do. Leaving is the worst part. We had everything we needed and wanted. We loved sitting out on the deck to eat, going to the beach, seeing wildlife and watching sunsets at the dock. It was great and we can not wait to return.
We loved it! Can't wait to come back!
We had a great stay! Lucy was very helpful and the property had everything we needed!
Summer Retreat
We have not been back to see Lucy for about 4 years. Nothing had changed, it was wonderful. The island is fun to explore as well as enjoying the RJ Reynolds mansion and its staff from the University of Georgia. Wonderful, welcoming and warm!!!
Map
My Sapelo Retreat is on Sapelo Island which is 4 1/2 mi. from the mainland. On the Island there is only 1 small convenience store and a post office. Several of the things I have commented on are in the historic fishing village of Darien, a frequent overnight before the trip over to Sapelo. For instance, there is a great little salon and spa, Eternity Salon and Spa, in Darien. The restaurants I've commented on are in Darien and there is a fine gourmet wine and cheese store and wine bar there, Waterfront Wine and Gourmet on the waterfront on Broad Street. Some types of activities require hiring a guide, deep sea fishing, kayaking, scuba diving but I can connect you with the folks who do those things. Just ask! I'll be glad to answer your questions.
