The Best Georgia Vacay Spot

We were so impressed with the quality and cleanliness of this property. The views and sunsets every night were postcard worthy. I rarely go back to a VRBO, but this one, we will be returning. Dog friendly which we love and appreciate so much!

Beautiful Stay

Such a beautiful and friendly neighborhood overlooking the McClendon Creek and marsh. Lovely cottage with panoramic views of the marsh or the beautiful ancient old trees hanging with moss. Very quiet and peaceful with the ability to lay in bed at night and watch the storms with rain, thunder and lightning light up the sky and marsh across the way. Awakening to a bright new day ahead. Lovey antique stores, small boutique and home town grocery store with everything we needed and wonderful fresh seafood dinner at BJ seafood & steaks only 1 mile away. If you like small town hospitality and are in need of quiet and peacefulness… then “the cottage” is the place for you. We certainly hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!❤️

Wonderful!

What a relaxing place! The photos don’t do it justice. The home was very clean with a well thought out floor plan. The view from the wall of windows in the bedroom was beautiful to wake up to. The screened in porch was so cozy and beautifully built; we didn’t even sit anywhere else! Restaurants and shops are just a short walk away and the town is cute and very friendly. We both HIGHLY recommend staying here.

Perfect cottage with amazing views

We were amazed to find this perfect, new construction cottage in a quiet neighborhood with the most amazing views of the river! Everything you could ask for in the kitchen to prepare meals and enjoy them on a shady screened porch. The sunsets were amazing from the private dock and you were within walking distance of downtown Darien and restaurants, openers and property manager very accommodating and we look forward to our next visit, perfect getaway in a perfect setting!
