About this property

Marshbreeze...on Tidal Creek with Marsh View

This house has a screened-in porch, 57 ft. long, looking out over the marshes and a tidal creek with a view of Sapelo Island in the distance. Adjacent to the porch is a 16X18 ft. deck. Sit in our Hot Springs hot tub at night on that deck under a canopy of brilliant stars, undiminished by civilization's lights. There are five sets of french doors that open onto the porch on the southeast side. Open the front door and the french doors, and a gentle breeze blows through the whole house. Yet the whole house is quite private. Our house is adjacent, but away from your viewscape. Any other neighbors are barely visible.

The kitchen overlooks the great room, with a view of the marsh through three sets of French doors. The master bedroom suite is on one side of the house, with the other two bedrooms on the other side. Two bedrooms with king size beds have French doors that open up to the porch -- or sleep on the bed on the porch, if you like. An office and den and the dining room is on the northwest. They overlook an almost private 1.5 acre freshwater pond, that you can fish in (blue gills only) and is full of wildlife and exotic birds, which include roseate spoonbills, wood storks, black-crowned night herons, white ibis', great egrets and snowy egrets, little blue herons, tri-colored herons, green herons, hooded mergansers and pileated woodpeckers. A walking trail goes around the pond (with a detour around the one other house on the pond). Dolphins will occasionally forage in the tidal creek right next to the house. The third bedroom, with a queen bed, views the pond and a corner of the marsh. We also have an office (with a futon) that faces the lagoon. If you just want to hang out, we have a flat screen HDTV, Blu Ray player, Netflix and Amazon Prime instant stream movies, plus a good sound system.

Six people can sleep in the 3 bedrooms. Two additional people can sleep on the futon in the office. (note: we offer a maximum of eight people, and we charge an additional $5/night/person over four people.)

Two sit-on-top double kayaks and one canoe are on-site, making it easy to get on the tidal creek right from our property during a high tide. We also have eight bikes of various types sizes. For motor boats, there is a public launch for a fee (back-in trailer for free) a few miles away. Take your own boat out to Sapelo Island (within sight of the house) and its beautiful beaches, or take the $5 ferry from it's launch a mile away. Drive 25, min. to the Harris Neck Wildlife Reserve and see the finest bird rookeries on the Georgia Coast and probably the whole southeast Atlantic Coast.

Nature Getaway

The property was in a lovely spot on the marsh and was open and comfortable. There was plenty of space for 3 couples and we really appreciated the willingness of the host to let us use bicycles, kayaks, and binoculars. We enjoyed exploring the nature in the area and opted to go to the beach within an easy drive since our weekend turned out to be so warm. A lovely stay!

Marsh tranquillity

Wonderful spatial property with exceptional views from the large screened porch. Enjoyed eating within the graciously stocked kitchen as well as at fine seafood restaurants nearby. Our ramblings were historical, scenic, and fulfilling. Home base was exceptional.

Marsh house does not disappoint

We loved everything about this gem of a property: the huge porch where we watched amazing sunrises, ate dinner, and relaxed on; the comfortable mattress in the master bedroom; great WiFi; fully stocked kitchen; and the hot tub to relax and count the stars after a full day! Our dog got lots of good sniffs during his walks on the property and we had little thrills seeing the two resident alligators in the pond near the house! Highly recommend this place for a tranquil and peaceful escape.

Very serene and relaxing stay

This was a very secluded, private place to stay at. There was plenty of space and the screened porch was amazing to just sit and watch the marsh. We had a couple of issues but the owner was pretty responsive. I will definitely be back to stay here again.

Great place in the salt marsh

Very roomy get away in the Georgia salt marsh. The house was extremely well equipped. The views were spectacular with wood storks, spoonbills, egrets and herons the nearest neighbors.

We Love the Marsh

As many others have stated, the view off the back screen porch is awesome! We also enjoyed watching the egrets and roseate spoonbills off in the marsh. The house was wonderful and the beautiful art throughout made us feel like we were in an art museum. Our hosts were fabulous greeting us when we arrived and providing lights when the power went out for a couple of hours (after effects of Hurricane Helene). We will definitely be back again to stay at this great location.

Wonderful house on Saltwater Marsh

Spent a week here and it was wonderful. Large and open design, with great views of peaceful marsh. Property itself is off main track, thus quiet as can be. The owner is friendly and helpful. Brunswich, St Simon Island and Jekyll Island are only 30-45 hr drive away if looking for beach and some good food.

Marsh vacation

We loved our stay! The hosts were great! The house was clean and well stocked. We loved going out in the kayaks. The wildlife was amazing. We saw countless bird species, dolphin, and manatee. We enjoyed taking the bikes out for rides on the quiet costal roads. It was a most relaxing vacation and we would love to return!

Marvelous Property overlooking the Marsh

Want a relaxing long weekend with a great location and great seafood, Marshbreeze is the place to go. Weather was perfect for sitting on the screen porch or in the hot tub and bird watching--we even saw a flamingo fly by. Our son is a history buff, so we visited multiple historical sites dating back to the 1700s. All the beds were very comfortable and Don and Susan are great hosts. We will plan to visit again!

Relaxing days on the marsh

We just returned from our visit to this lovely and well-equipped home. It was very comfortable. The weather was warm during the day--allowing us to enjoy the large screened in porch, but cool in the evening so we could enjoy the fireplace. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your marsh home!

About the host

Hosted by Don Carson

Host profile image
Susan until 09/09 was director of Canopy Studio, an aerial arts teaching and performing center in Athens, GA. Don built Canopy Studio and did the rigging and technical work there. He now makes carbon fiber dance trapezes and sells them all over the world. Susan still teaches some workshops and master classes around the country, but mostly she teaches occasional workshop/retreats to aerialists that come from around the country to the aerial dance studio that Don built next to Marshbreeze (which opended April, '13).

They met in New York City (where Susan taught and performed and Don was a commercial photographer) before moving to the SF bay area for 9 years, then to Athens for 10 years. Now they are full time in Darien.

Why they chose this property

We decided that we love the marsh more than the beaches. There is so much wildlife just off our deck. It never gets dull. One minute it is tranquil with a golden glow sunset. Then, other times we are treated with a symphony of thunder and lightning. We like the proximity to Savannah as well as the civilized Jacksonville airport.

What makes this property unique

Fabulous for bird watchers.
