Aqua Blue House

We had a wonderful experience at the property. We frequent Shellman Bluff but have never stayed here until this past weekend. The property manager was wonderful to deal with! She allowed us to check in earlier than anticipated so that we could get our stay started early. Will 100% stay here again in the future!

Cute place nice and clean.

The repersentation on line was a bit misleading. The location is a relatively congested area we were not expecting. If you like to be in the middle of the action it's a great place. We were not looking to be in the middle of the action.

Cute little cottage

We arrived for our third visit to the area and our second time with Chris. The decor was very charming. The quiet fishing village of Shellman Bluff surprised us when it came to life at night. Tim enjoyed some of his time on the Sapelo Golf Course and taking a few trips out in the kayak. We had wonderful weather this year and enjoyed the beaches at Jeykll Island. We also took a day trip to Sapelo Island once again. Found the "Green Turnip" in Darien for fresh produce and made several trips to Sapelo Creek Seafood market. In close proximity we visited Blackbeards and Hunters. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Thank you for your kind words and detailed adventures you experienced while visiting the Aqua Bluff Cottage. Please share what kept you from a 5-star review of the cottage. The owners and I continuously strive to make improvements in our accommodations so the Aqua Bluff Cottage is just right for our guests. We have learned some folks' interest simply vary from the Fisherman's Village and Golfing Community atmosphere of Shellman Bluff. We sincerely appreciate your visiting the Aqua Bluff Cottage and welcome you back any time. Warm Salt Coast Regards, Chris Reddick - Property Manager and The Owners

A Little Gem

My husband and I had been on the road vacationing for several weeks and felt like we needed some downtime.Shellmans Bluff was the perfect place .T​his little Gem of a property is tucked away in a cute little neighborhood and within walking distance of a Fishing Camp with a little restaurnt we fell in love with called the Hunters Cafe. Wonderful seafood ! The property is adorable and very clean.I​​​​​t's the first time however, We've ​ be​e​​​​​n asked​ t​​​​​​​​​​o load the dishwasher, run it and had to wait to put the dishes away before checking​ out ​s​​​​o plan​ accordingly if you want to make the checkout time​.The decor and comfort make up for that​ h​oweve​r​.I highly recommend ​it.

Gone Fishin

We were looking for a location that would allow us to dock our boat and a house big enough to enjoy with 2 couples. This rental was perfect for us! The house is just big enough with 2 rooms and 2 full bathrooms. We enjoyed the living and dining areas for just hanging out and eating and playing Yahtzee at the kitchen table. The kitchen was well equipped, although could use some updated frying pans and cooking utensils. There is a lovely screened porch on the back of the house that we mostly used for storing our fishing gear. The most important part was that the house was very clean and that made us feel comfortable. It's on a quiet street just a short drive to Shellman's Fish Camp where we docked our boat. Very easy to get on the water each day. The day we spent at Blackbeard Island was our favorite. We literally had the island to ourselves on New Year's Eve. There is so much beauty and wildlife to enjoy. We definitely would stay here again.

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the area, privacy, location, and property managers help. I would have liked a cleaner front porch to sit out on. Inside was very clean but large palametto bugs outside and found 1 in the house. I am not from the southern states so this may attribute to that and is a common occurrence. Judith was very helpful and responsive. Organized information on local area restaurants and Grocery stores.

Cute cottage that our family loved

We had a nice, cozy stay. The outside was as cute as the pictures show and the interior was nicely updated and clean. It was a very nice home away from home for my family of 4. We were disappointed that the screened in porch was not clean and ready to use, but we mentioned it to Judith, the manager, and she said that she'd take care of it for future stays. Judith is a very sweet person and such a pleasure to interact with. I was surprised to learn that the house is just a short walk from the water, but we couldn't get close enough to enjoy it because there were so many private docks in the area. That's not the problem that the property owner can fix but it's good to know if you had plans to sit next to the water for most of the trip like I did.
