Book a Blackbeard Island National Wildlife Refuge Resort

"Stunning marsh front property in a great location with a beautiful view of the marsh through towering oaks draped with Spanish moss. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. Two comfortable bedrooms and three beds. Two additional areas have couches that can also accommodate additional guests. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Hosts live in the property next door, are amazing and go above and beyond. Our family of four had a fabulous weeklong getaway and we can’t wait to come back! We kayaked every day and fished and went crabbing off the deck. Local restaurants were within a 30 minute drive and very good. Overall we had a lovely stay in the sleepy fishing village of Shellman Bluff. Highly recommend! "

"My daughter and I found the perfect place to get some R&R before she headed off for college. My father passed away the week before, and it was absolutely perfect timing in the most exquisite location in Coastal Georgia. The Thicket Cottage is more than we ever dreamed it would be. Our souls found peace and quiet as we rocked on the front porch or relaxed in the swing daybed overlooking the exquisite marsh. From the moment we drove in the driveway and laid our eyes on this historic piece of property, we absolutely treasured soaking in all of the unique 200 year-old materials in this simply beautiful home. From the wine and charcuterie board upon arrival to the peaceful sunrises out over the unobstructed marsh view, to catching big ole crabs, to listening to the Kingfisher serenade us, it was simply incredible. We used this as a fabulous jumping off point and explored northward through all of the little fishing villages and communities. We even took the ferry out to Sapelo Island one day and explored the Estuarine research reserve. It was also close enough to pop over to St. Simons to shop and to grab some delicious seafood. We have a new and deep appreciation for this Coastal area. Emma's Driftwood Farm is a treasure. It was perfect for the two of us, however, I can't wait to bring a bigger group back to stay in some of the other homes on the property. The oak trees heavy with moss, the Adirondack chairs at the fire pit, and the wild peaceful marsh were spectacular. "
