About this property
Waterfront, 7 acres; Stunning Home on Coastal Tidal Marsh w/Private Dock
Visit this peaceful Georgia cabin rental for a kind of quiet you didn’t know still existed, as you visit the last remaining stretch of undeveloped Georgia coast.
The only sound you’ll hear at this serene 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental in Shellman Bluff Georgia, is the breeze blowing through the Spanish moss on the oak trees that surround you.
Savor a coffee on the porch as you watch the sunrise before heading out to explore in kayaks using the private dock steps from the porch. Launch your own boat from nearby Shellman Bluff Fish Camp and tie up at your own private dock.
Smell the salt air mixed with the earthy aromas of the marsh. Take in the sunrise with a steaming hot cup of coffee on the best situated screened porch in Georgia.
Sit in wonder as Mother Nature constantly changes the artwork of light and wildlife with the ever-changing tides.
Catch your dinner off your own private dock: a bounty of blue crab, shrimp and fish.
At day’s end, look forward to a campfire under the stars and a delicious seafood dinner caught in your backyard.
Come experience the log cabin that a great love story built. We've lovingly restored this sweet space and call her, "Ms. Lou's Cabin," named in honor of her original owner.
There's not another home like this on the entire Georgia coast. So special, sitting on 7 private acres.
Spend your entire time on this one-of-a-kind property or go explore. This home is perfectly situated for day trips to Savannah, Tybee Island, Saint Simons, Brunswick and Jekyll Island.
Keep your calendar handy because this place ruins you quickly. Our guests don't seem to leave without first booking their next trip back.
We can't wait to see you at Ms. Lou's Cabin!
(One note: Because of the way the VRBO software works, this is listed as a 4 bedroom cabin. A better explainer: There are two dedicated bedrooms. One is downstairs with a king-sized bed. The other is upstairs and has two queen-sized beds. The other two sleep spaces are a loft and the front sitting room which turns into a private bedroom with the use of a sliding pocket door. Both of these spaces have fold out couches that transform into queen-sized beds. If you are looking for a cookie cutter McMansion this is not your place. If you crave quirky comfort and a one of a kind place, please come see us!)

About the host
Hosted by Daryn Kagan
We ran away from the big city at the height of COVID. We came for two days and like the locals say, "This place ruined us." We now can't imagine living anywhere else in the world. The quiet, the beauty, the undeveloped land, the marsh is a world away from hectic big city life. We feel like we're keeping the biggest secret. We love sharing this property with people who didn't realize such a treasure could still exist only an hour from the Savannah airport, 4 hours from Atlanta, less than 2 hours from Jacksonville.
Why they chose this property
There is no place like this on the Georgia Coast! The immense beauty of the tidal saltwater marsh. And the quiet! We didn't know quiet like this still existed. Sure, you'll hear the marsh hens laughing at you, the gurgle of the marsh itself, the breeze rippling through the huge oak trees and Spanish moss, but that is it. You can't even hear road noise from this special place.
Each level of the marsh tide brings different wildlife. It's like Mother Nature is constantly changing out her artwork.
During summer months we are gifted with a breeze off the Atlantic Ocean that can cool things off by 10-15 degrees. It's absolutely magic.
Every time we are here it feels like such a treat, like a step back in time, a chance to see paradise before they paved it and put up a parking lot.

What makes this property unique
There simply is no property like this on the entire Georgia Coast. Come enjoy this lovingly restored log cabin that sits on 7 private acres. The screened in porch is the best place in the state to catch the sunrise. The private dock is perfect for end of day Magic Hour, fishing, crabbing, birding, clear thinking.
