About this property

River Retreat, a tranquil 3-BR-2 bath cottage on the Sapelo River in Crescent

  • Private Deepwater Dock on the Sapelo River.

    This property has been a loved rental for years with a 5* rating, and this is a new listing due to a new owner. (We also own “The River Hut” next door) Enjoy the heart of coastal Georgia in this lovely cottage on the Sapelo River. You will have a private dock for fishing, crabbing, and kayaking. (There is a nearby boat ramp for guests who bring a boat). The home sits atop a wonderful tall bluff for amazing views and pleasant breezes. Enjoy your coffee or a cocktail while watching the wildlife or a sunset on the river from the back porch. Property has been a wonderful rental for years but has a new owner.

    Downstairs, you’ll love the open concept kitchen, dining and living area with amazing views of the dock, river and endless marshes. The master bedroom and attached master bath is also downstairs. Upstairs are two ample bedrooms with a shared Jack and Jill bath. Enjoy nature right from the back porch table.

    The “River Hut” next door can be combined to create a Coastal Compound with 6 bedrooms, 5 baths, and 2 docks.

    Guests also enjoy waterfront dining at the nearby Fish Dock Restaurant. Additional dining and entertainment can be found by land or sea at nearby towns of Darien and Shellman Bluff. 30-45 minutes away, explore Savannah, Brunswick, and St. Simons Island.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We very much enjoyed our stay even despite some bad weather from a hurricane. The view and dock were the highlights of the trip. We appreciated having so many kayaks to utilize. Our family of four was very comfortable and I could see us returning with friends.
