Welcome to The Thicket Cottage in Darien, GA - your private oasis in the low country! ✔ Private dock with crab cage, rods, and light tackle ✔ Screened-in oyster house with oyster roast/low country boil supplies ✔ 180° marsh views from the large porch and outdoor entertainment areas ✔Outdoor shower & woodburning sauna ✔ Large creekside fire kettle ✔ Grill & Green Egg ✔ Toggleboard and porch swing ✔ Luxury kitchen, living, and dining rooms ✔ Dog run & washing station ✔ 40 min drive to local beaches and attractions in St. Simons & Jekyll This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath house sits on Brighton Creek in Darien, GA, overlooking Doboy Sound and Sapelo Island. It is believed to have been built using salvaged materials from several nearby homes blown down in the hurricane of 1825 – an original repurposing project! After several renditions, it was completely restored and modernized in 2014. With a suite on the main floor and three bedrooms upstairs, fully stocked kitchen, and a large den with a large bar and wood-burning fireplace, it is the perfect location for family and/or friends gatherings. Though most will prefer to spend their time outside, enjoying the rare, uninterrupted views. The most stressful part of your stay may be deciding whether to gather on the large wraparound porch, the screened-in pavilion with fireplace, the patio or the large fire kettle placed creekside. There are plenty of spaces to gather all together or spread out for more intimate conversations. Two of the best spots for relaxing alone or in the company of others is the swinging porch bed and the outdoor sauna. Regardless of where you spend your time, you cannot help but find yourself relaxing and letting the stresses slip away. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Dock - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the marina - Near the sea - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 3,200 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/61000000/60360000/60354200/60354179/a958fd08.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4-BR Hatcher House w/ docks, pool, & private firepit on Emma's Driftwood Farm DARIEN - Pool - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 48 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=60354179&PinnedHotelID=60354179&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/59000000/58120000/58115600/58115586/4bd29f89.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 3-BR Ranch House w/ docks, pool, and private firepit on Emma's Driftwood Farm Darien - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 32 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=58115586&PinnedHotelID=58115586&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95920000/95915600/95915563/38044e98.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A Lovely Coastal Cottage in the seaside town of Darien Georgia Darien - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=95915563&PinnedHotelID=95915563&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104090000/104080400/104080353/758b3772.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Marsh Front Home with Deep Water Dock on White Chimney River-Shellman Bluff.
