Debbie was in contact multiple times prior to our stay to inquire about any special needs and answer questions. She also inquired several times during stay to see if we needed assistance. We arrived later than expected and she had a snack and yummy homemade brownies waiting. Very nice surprise. The home was very nicely decorated and the beds were extremely comfortable

This place was perfect for what we needed! Clean and decorated so cute!! Debbie is awesome and responds very quick! Located in a great little community if you are looking for a simple, laid back getaway but close enough to Savannah if you are looking for a little more to do during the day. Will most definitely stay here again and hopefully a longer visit next time!

This is just the perfect place! The host is so welcoming and the place is the decorated so wonderful. Plenty of room and felt so cozy. One of the best parts was the use of the golf cart as I got to really immerse myself in the community. The cart can be used to drive the area and see stunning views, go to the restaurants/live music/drinks/karoke/pool, etc. The local people knew where I was staying because of the golf cart and I was welcomed in and treated like I belonged. The host provided a very good guide to the local area that was very helpful. One of the better weekend getaways I have found and I highly recommend this anyone that loves nature and a simpler way of life, with the convenience of WiFi.

Wedding weekend in the Bluff

We were down for a friend's wedding that was near Sappelo hammock golf club. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. And the golf cart was just a cherry on top.

Ideal for a couple with a child or two children. Bedrooms are on opposite ends of the house and have their own bathrooms. Scenic area. Nice locals. Host was punctual and quick to respond to questions. House is clean and comfortable. There's an outdoor sitting area that's nice. The neighbors are very close in proximity, but nice people and we didn't actually see most of them. We enjoyed hunters cafe for burgers and a drink and it's close to this VRBO. (Hunters cafe also serves steamed local oysters).

Quiet Coastal Dream

4 adults stayed. Longtime Fishing friends. Check in was seamless. The Cabin was extremely clean. The 2 younger married guys were like kids in Heaven. They enjoyed using the golf cart after returning from a long days fishing. Us old guys hung out at the fire pit. Clean relaxing fun. Highly recommended.

I'll be back!

This was probably my 7th or 8th stay here. I love everything about it. This time in particular I used Debbie's crab net and brought up 10 blue crab! I did a day trip to SSI which only took about 45 minutes of drivetime. Of course the local watering holes didnt hold back on the entertainment near the house either! There's nothing you need to bring.. just come ready to have to good time.

Debbie is an excellent host. Do not be worried that this is a mobile home. It is everything that you need and the area is quiet and safe. Debbie goes through great effort to supply everything you need she even had spices and all the little things that you might need but often forget to bring. Why anyone would choose a hotel instead of a place like this is beyond me. Unfortunately vrbo is not smart enough to not put their banner in the way of writing any more.

The perfect get-away

This little oasis was exactly what the doctor ordered. Debbie's home was super clean, stocked with all the important amenities, and so cozy you really dont have to leave the house. Outside, the patio is warm and welcoming, you have access the golf cart, which is convenient since the community seems to lean toward golf cart transportation. She even offers use of her crabbing gear, which was a nice surprise. Nature and friendly people are at every corner, and if you are craving fresh seafood, this is your place. I absolutely love it.

Perfect Peaceful Getaway

My husband, myself and our two dogs enjoyed our stay in Shellman Bluff! The community is so peaceful and the house has everything we needed. Seriously, if you are planning on doing some cooking during your stay, you do not have to bring a THING. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need- condiments and spices included! It was so nice to have room to park our boat, a hose to clean it off, and use of the golf cart. Our doggies loved going for golf cart rides! The house was super cozy. Close to many neat restaurants (Hunter’s Cafe was our fav). Debbie was a wonderful host and checked in with us when we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. We had no problems, but I know if we did and we needed to reach out to her, she would get back to us promptly. If you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place that is dog friendly to enjoy the breathtaking coastal views of South Georgia, this is definitely the place to come.
