We loved your house and the spectacular surroundings. We took the boats our
in the lagoon and enjoyed your bikes, as well. The hot tub is a great addition.

Great place! We love coastal Georgia but had never stayed on a marsh. It was
wonderful even only for 2 days. Thanks for the last minute reservations. We
would love to come back!

| We enjoyed this beautiful and peaceful home. It was very bright and airy with very nice decor and artwork. Great information about the area was provided. The screen porch was the best! The shower was good too. Overall, we had a wonderful time in this delightful home. Thanks! |

We had a wonderful time at your beautiful home on
the marsh. My husband, his sister, her husband,
and I all returned relaxed and rejuvenated. We
opened the French doors each morning and enjoyed
the breezes. The screened porch was amazing – a
great place to read and watch the changing tides.
We ate all of our meals out there – local fresh
shrimp and soft-shelled crabs.
Nature renews me and your quiet home on the
marsh was just what I needed. We took the canoe
out on the marsh at high tide, explored the pond
with the flat-bottomed boat, and rode the bikes.
The wheel-chair ramp and easy accessibility off the
porch into the bedrooms and open kitchen/living
areas was a great asset for our family – one that we
require but are often unable to find in a vacation
home.
We stopped by to visit my friends at the Altamaha
Riverkeeper in Darien and were pleased to learn
that you are supporters. I’d encourage anyone who
loves the natural beauty of this area to support this
organization – they work hard to be sure that this
area remains a very special place.
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home. We
hope to have an opportunity to return again. |

We had a wonderful beginning to the new year as a family here. The weather
was perfect; I understand it was unseasonably warm while we were here. We
want to come back!

Thank you for sharing your lovely Marsh Breeze with me. I will miss bird
watching, critter listening,biking and resting. Yes, a must-see experience is
watching sunsets and sunrises from the porch. Sometimes there is a manatee or
dolphin swimming in the tidal creek. You can see Sapelo Island from here. I
enjoyed raw oysters and $1 draft beer at Skippers in Darien. I was very happy to
get back to Jekyll Island too. It has been maybe 30 years; hope not to wait so
long next time.

A most glorious 4th of July getaway. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Do read all of the guest comments. When you do you will see the variety of blissful options that await you at this location. There is such a diverse availability of options that everyone in a large group is kept happy and content. You can stay busy or you can laze around - your choice. The house is wonderful. The view is even more so - front and back. Mr. Carson is very helpful and is always available by phone if you have a question.
If you love the marsh and all that comes with it, try this house. We definitely plan to go back in the future. |

The most relaxing vacation we could have had. The house is just so
comfortable , but the screened in back porch overlooking the marsh is
definitely our favorite part. The breezes are heavenly.
We saw two very large dolphins one evening during high tide -- the birds
were numerous and came in so close. We also enjoyed the front porch area
with the wildlife there. We saw a doe with her fawn that couldn't have been
more than a couple days old. "So special".
We want to thank you for sharing your house with us as we enjoyed the
Georgia Coastal wildlife.
p.s. If you like nature, the Okeefenokee Swamp at Folkston is so worth the
drive. Awesome!

We stayed at this house from March 16-22, 2008. The property was perfect for a grandmother, uncle, mother and 10 year old girl fleeing the cold in Wisconsin. One of our favorite things about the house was the long, wide screened porch overlooking the saltmarsh, where we had our coffee and watched the sun come up each morning. A couple of evenings were cool, and we enjoyed the fireplace with a glass of wine.
We appreciated the quiet and privacy (although the neighboring Blue Heron B&B was very nice and the owner invited us over for wine and cheese) as we were worried about spring breakers in the beachier towns. The birder in our group got up and birded the lagoon every day and saw hooded mergansers, lots of wood storks, night herons, woodpeckers, and warblers.
We used the house as a base to explore Jekyll Island (great beaches, fiddler crabs, oysters, sea turtle center, nature center with sea kayaks available), Sapelo Island (reserve a seat on the ferry, only a 3 minute drive away down Landing road, tour the Reynolds mansion and see the lighthouse and tabby ruins), the Okefenokee swamp (about 2 hr drive, the swamp park has a boat ride, train ride and nature show) and the Harris Neck wildlife refuge (our favorite, the rookery was rich with life: wood storks, egrets, moorhens and coots, ducks, many kinds of herons and reptiles including alligators at Woody Pond).
It was breezy during our stay, which helped to keep the "sand gnats" down. In calm weather these little biting flies were abundant and made us especially glad for the large screened porch.
Thanks Don. |

Our family just enjoyed a glorious month at this lovely, comfortable home.
The location was convenient, the views fabulous, and the front porch a haven for warmth-deprived Minnesotans. The owner and manager were always attentive and responsive to our needs. We look forward to another visit in the future. |

The possibilities to live in the moment exist here. Stay open and follow the flow
of nature and you'll fine that your heart will do the same. And that is the gift of
Marshbreeze.

The month of June was spent enjoying this wonderful home. Reading on the porch, watching the tide come in over the marsh, viewing all the expansive wildlife was just heaven.
Do yourselves a favor and explore the area as well. Visit Harris Neck NWR. Check out as many of the islands as you can.
Then come home and relax in a truly beautiful setting (with everything you'll need provided).
Thanks for sharing your home for us to enjoy and experience! |

Waking to the marsh breeze coming through the open French doors, accompanied by a chorus of birds, peacefulness seeped into our bones. The tide changed subtly. Our bedroom, isolated enough to be secluded, opened to the porch which runs the length of the house. The ample and open kitchen and living room also opens its many French doors onto the same porch, so as two couples, we could gather or separate and always be in touch with the marsh as our focus.
Most quiet mornings, we took care of business, read, watched the marsh, the birds, the sky, then adventured into the many possible preserves and activities. One day we went to Harris' Neck Preserve biking alone through beautiful open roads, and long ponds seeing flocks of wood storks, anhingas and multicolored herons. We were never far from a dense and luxurious nature which fed our spirit. Next day we kayaked in the marsh, catching the tide in time to paddle through a gentle rain…and find our way back through the labyrinth of creeks. We spent one day on Jekell Island, biking, swimming, and walking the beautiful beach. We reserved Sapalo Island, ferry a 5 minute bike ride away, and St. Simon's for another trip, as we ran out of time.
The little town of Darien gave the history and context of the place. A wonderful restaurant, Pelican Point, on the water was a treat when we didn't want to prepare dinner. The live oaks and Spanish moss are unforgettable. The history and presence of the long pines, the sense of continuity of life and nature make this a perfect spot for couples, families, and friends to find a special part of themselves, and of Georgia.
We never needed the air conditioning, but did need the cozy gas fire one night. While the setting alone would make this a wonderful place, the house itself is beautiful, new, with elegant touches. It has both simplicity, charm and creature comforts, ice-machine, dishwasher, Jacuzzi, wifi. The artistic nature of the owners make it even more special. There are four bikes available, and nearby kayaks for those so inclined.
This is a five-star recommendation!

| This is a wonderful place to relax and read on the porch while keeping an eye out for beautiful birds. The deck was a great place for our teenagers working on their tans, and kayaking was just a few steps away. The Harris Neck Wildlife area is nearby and is loaded with exotic birds and alligators. |

| We are just back from your lovely house. The view of the marsh is spectacular and the house very bright and extremely comfortable. Kayaking right outside the house was a highlight! Thanks, Mary |
