Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jeff P. Feb 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Property itself was very nice Overall, the property is quite nice. Sapelo Island itself isn't much to visit in the winter time or, frankly, any time at all unless you're really into hanging out on pristine, secluded beaches. (In season, in terms of activities, I suppose fishing from the beach -- surf casting -- might be fun & productive. And birding's always available, though I wouldn't say Sapelo Island is a riot of interesting bird life.) In retrospect, my main feeling is that while the property is nice and the manager, John LaFeve, is extremely on-the-ball and responsive, the rental is not worth the price -- it's too expensive for what you "get" or need. ##### Jeff P.

The cottage is more than comfortable and surrounded by beautiful trees. They have really thought of everything you might need, and it really makes a difference. We loved the Southern food Sherron brought by each night, and it was an added treat to hear her stories about growing up on the island.Our dog was in heaven to be able to run free on the trails and beach (which we had all to ourselves). John was so helpful helping us haul all of our provisions over in his boat and truck...even let us take a look at their other properties on the Darien side. We will be back soon! Thank you for a perfect weekend. ##### Allison R. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve M.

And we'll likely be there next Labor Day. The home was well appointed, clean, and well stocked on both occasions. My children LOVE the tree swing in the front yard. Watching deer, cows (seriously), armadillos, and skinks from the backyard is simply amazing. Location is perfect. The home is just far enough out of Hog Hammock to make you feel like you are in your own world, and yet the little general store is only 5 minutes away. The motorized mule that comes with the rental is a must in order to take the old non-paved road to the beach. Looking forward to my next trip to Chachalaca! ##### Steve M.

Beds are great - but tall! The Mule was fun. John, property manager, was on top of things for us. I hope Sapelo stays undeveloped and the beach as pristine as it is. Quiet quiet quiet. I was the only person in the water this afternoon. We’ve already booked a return stay. Taking home memories and sand dollars. Short drive to beach, but you wouldn’t want to walk it. A really nice place to stay. Just keep it simple with food and clothes that you have to tote on the ferry, and enjoy the quiet. ##### Cynthia G.

Assuming the one neighboring house is empty (it was for us and we felt like we had our own little piece of the woods). A utility shed has beach supplies, bikes, games, but the game changer was the included Kawasaki Mule, which was our ever present guide and explorer of this wild island. Everyday we’d discover something or somewhere knew in this vehicle that could travel just about anywhere. And most of the time we were the only ones at these destinations. Such a unique place. Use Emma’s to help you book a fishing trip. We had a great time with Capt Massa. Use Sharron Grovner for a local dinner, and her mom Lula supposedly hosts a great dinner too. ##### Todd S.

It does take some effort to get there but, well worth it. The house was amazing; the craftsmanship was impeccable, and the house was very comfortable. We enjoyed the backyard very much. We had a fire every night and my husband enjoyed fresh oysters that we bought locally before boarding the ferry. We visited the beach and the lighthouse with the ATV provided. I enjoyed reading on the screened in back porch. Our two dogs, Jinny and Ranger, loved the yards and chased many a squirrel and rabbit. We had a meal prepared and delivered by Cheron one night and it was delicious and very affordable. It was just a great 4 days.

The house itself was beautiful and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the screened back porch where we ate our breakfasts. Thanks to John for arranging the use of the mule which made it easy to get around the island and out to the beach which we had pretty much to ourselves.

The island has a certain charm and was full of adventure for our 8yr old son and his friend. The cabin was fully equipped with everything needed, was clean and the property manager was more than helpful. We will definitely be back!! ##### Bradley A.

We absolutely loved this charming cabin and our trip to Sapelo Island for fall break. We explored stunning beaches, the historic mansion and saw wildlife galore. The entire island really is a photographer’s dream setting. The home had everything we needed for our multi-night stay. We cooked pretty extensively and brought several Blue Apron meals. There is a small very small shop, but no grocery store once you are on the island. All the bedrooms were perfectly clean and seemed newly renovated and furnished. The open family room was wonderful and we spent time playing bird games on back porch. The mule cart, for transportation, was a necessity and made exploring the island a breeze. The oak trees are gorgeous and huge. This is definitely a remote island; yet, it is a perfect place to recharge and focus on family and wellness! We definitely plan to be back, hopefully many more times over the years! ##### Katy L. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex H.

The cabin is well appointed and well managed.... We will be back here again~! Sapelo is something that any adventurous family who love nature and some 'back in time' solitude, will love.... Exploring the woods through the vast wilderness and hidden beaches.... Hard to believe it is in the state of Georgia.... ##### Alex H.
