Baisden Bluff was the perfect place to celebrate my dad's 70th. The owner is very accommodating, and even touched base a couple days prior to give me the rundown on area attractions. The area is serenely quiet; the house itself is gorgeous and spacious, with a screen porch, an amply-equipped kitchen (plus an outdoor cooking space!), a cabinet full of puzzles and board games, and two great bookcases. However, we spent most our time outside (how can you not, with such an enchanting dock, which also has a handy and plumbed fish-cleaning station?!). We explored by kayak; made use of the crab pots (supplementing our catch with a visit to Shell Creek Seafood, highly recommend); booked a fishing charter with Reel Busy (10 minutes down the road) which yielded enough redfish and sea trout fillets to feed us all week, and also brought our own aluminum canoe + 5HP motor, which we brought to the dock via Belleville Boat Ramp (5 minutes drive). We did day trips to Harris Neck NWR & Jekyll Island, but I think my favorite part was sitting out on the dock watching the stars come out and the full moon rise over the saltmarsh while owls and other night birds sang away... we're already talking about another stay here.
