Quaint Cottage on Tidal Creek with Private Dock, minutes to Shellman Bluff

This quaint cottage is located on a quiet road that dead ends into McCoy Creek. Home has a private dock with some of the most beautiful Eastern views and sunrises available. Home is 400 square foot with one bedroom and one bathroom and a large screened in front porch. This cottage makes you relax the moment you walk in the door and has been completely remodeled so that each guest has all the comforts of home. Dock is brand new and will provide you access to a lively tidal creek that flows into White Chimney River and all the barrier islands that we love on the Georgia Coast.

The yard is large enough so a guest can bring a boat and more than one vehicle. Do not park behind the home. This is where the septic tank is located. Disregard of this notice may result in extra costs to guest should any damages occur.

No pets allowed. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Make yourself comfortable in your air-conditioned cottage, featuring a refrigerator and a microwave. There's a private patio. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer.

Cottage getaway
We had a very relaxed stay here. It was quiet and fun being away from all the hustle and bustle where we live just north of Atlanta. If you’re looking for a very small place to stay on the saltwater to relax, fish, and go crabbing this is a great spot. Not sure how good fishing is here in the area, we didn’t have much luck but I believe it’s the time of the year. The crabbing was very slow also but we caught enough to have a meal! Great place for a couple to stay.

This is a wonderful little cottage tucked away on the waters. The dock was great and the morning views were amazing. It was convenient to many restaurants but off the beaten path. Great host!!!! Very clean cabin. Excited to go back!

Me and my husband had a wonderful 2 night stay! Cooked all our meals on the dock, saw some deer and even got a visit from dolphins. Perfect quiet place to recharge and have a break from busy city life. We cannot wait to come back!

Lovely peaceful cottage on the marshland
We really enjoyed the cottage for 2 days, just sitting by the water watching the changing sky and the tide, sipping beers on the porch. Would definitely stay again. The only thing I would mention is that the bed is small and for two adults it is quite 'cosy'. If you are larger or taller or just like your space, you might find it is too small.

Little slice of heaven!
Such a wonderful little cabin. It was clean, tidy, and equiped with all of the essentials. We really enjoyed our stay! The view is gorgeous from the front porch. We loved sitting there in the morning to watch the sunrise and drink our coffee. And, the sunset was just as spectacular with our evening wine.

Quiet Little Getaway
My husband and I wanted a weekend away from it all, and this little cabin was perfect! The screened in porch was a nice spot to eat breakfast and enjoy the view. Close enough to a few restaurants if you want to go out. Nice and quiet spot to unwind.

A Quiet & Peaceful Retreat
My husband & I had a fantastic time here! The cottage is in the perfect location & the hosts were amazing. All descriptions of the property were accurate - there were no unpleasant surprises! If you like to fish/crab this is the ultimate place to stay! The screened in porch was nice. There are good restaurants in the Darien area, also. But if you prefer to eat in, the kitchen is well appointed. We definitely want to stay here again.

Quaint, Cozy, Adventurous
We were looking for an outdoorsy vibe that was quiet and full of things to do, we were not disappointed and felt it exceeded expectations. We’ve been traveling since November. National parks, beaches and this was something my husband wanted to do that was totally different. The marsh is an experience! Kayaking out to the inlets was super cool and is right out the back door. The tide coming in and out each day is so fascinating. Having the kayaks and life jackets was such a bonus. We left ours behind. The cottage is small but super comfortable and exactly what we were looking for and had everything we needed to be comfortable for two weeks. Full kitchen and washer and dryer was a must as we eat most our meals in or prep and take with us and we packed light so needed to do laundry regularly. The location is perfect. You can check out Savannah, Jekyll Island and St. Simons for a fun day trip. The bed is super comfy. I’d like to address some of the reviews as I rely so much on them when choosing a place to stay. Yes the cottage has some interesting take aways but that’s what makes it unique and fun. Yes it’s lived in, all places are, dispite that, it’s super clean. We had plenty of towels and hot water. I would book this place again in a heart beat. Emilys communication is amazing! Anytime I had a question she replied near immediately.

Cute cottage
The cottage was very cute, just perfect for two people. It was spotless and had everything we needed for a nice week. Being on the tidal creek was a plus. It was nice to sit on the screened porch with comfy furniture to watch the tide move quickly in and out. Loved Harris Neck Wildlife Refuge close by. Went there twice.

Escape from northern winter
We stayed here before and returned to find everything just as wonderful. Everything we needed was provided in the cottage. The kayaks were a great asset to explore the tidal creek and marsh. Areas to hike and good food were nearby. The host was friendly and helpful. This is a quiet and beautiful place to stay.
