Holiday rentals with a kayak in St. Simons Island

Ms Lou’s cabin and host, Daryn, made for one of our top 3 vacation rental experiences. The cabin was remote and rustic (what we were looking for), yet perfectly comfortable. Very clean with nice furnishings and linens throughout. The screen porch looking out over the marsh was why we chose it and it did not disappoint. It’s where we spent most of our time, eating, reading, relaxing and wildlife watching. Daryn was communicative, proactive and gave great recommendations for things to do in the area and nearby places to eat/ buy seafood and groceries. We highly recommend this wonderfully peaceful property and plan to visit again.

Loved our stay at the Blue Heron. So spacious and all furnishings and kitchenware was all nice and up to date. Outside area was beautiful and fun to hang out in - our teenage boys loved the kayaks and playing football and ping pong outside. We took a few beach trips to Jekyll Island which was nice and quiet. Stephen was very responsive and made us feel very welcome. We would love to come back!

Me and my wife decided to take a weekend out of town and this is a beautiful place. Highly recommend for a couple or spend family time. Thank you for a great stay.

The house was awesome with a private dock on the Sapelo River. This is a perfect location for 2 family's. It was exactly how Scott described it on his listing. Their were several great restaurants we ate at during our stay (Altman's for breakfast, The Fish Dock right around the corner, B and J's, Hunter's Cafe, Tabby House Brewing and several food trucks during the festival). The time we were in Townsend they had the Blessing of the Fleet in Darien which was awesome. So much to do and see in this area.

Hannah was very responsive and helpful. The place was clean and had everything needed. She made special accommodations for my situation for a reasonable additional fee.

We really enjoyed our stay. Fenced in yard for our dog and the dock on the St. Mary’s river was great. Darren was very responsive when we had questions Overall it was a great experience.

This house is very peaceful and Don is a great host. The town of Darien has a few restaurants and a grocery store. We enjoyed spending time on the screened back porch and taking in the beautiful sky after dark. We also spent time kayaking in the marsh with the provided kayaks. If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is a terrific place.

Cindy is a great hostess! She has equipped the Riverbend Retreat with everything you could possibly need. It is such a perfect location to enjoy its wonderful environment, and as a base camp for exploring Sapelo Island, Harris Neck, the shops and restaurants in Darien, and St. Simons. Riverbend Retreat was one of the best Airbnb rentals we have experienced. We hope to return again. Great sunsets, wonderful marsh activities, and many good dining opportunities nearby. You can't go wrong at Riverbend Retreat!

House looked just like the pictures. The view is absolutely stunning, you'll never get tired of looking out over the marsh - the sunrises are worth waking up for! This is by far the most accommodating and fully stocked AirBnB we've ever stayed at. Tons of toys, baby items, etc. Highly recommend and will return!

A weekend full of peace! This beautiful home is one of the most relaxing places we have stayed. Our host Linda was absolutely amazing. She left us farm fresh eggs in the fridge. And cared about every single detail. Definitely will book again in the future!

We had such a wonderful stay in Darien! The location was perfect—just a short drive or walk to downtown and all the cute little shops and restaurants. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable, which was a huge plus for traveling with our pups. The home itself was spotless, with fantastic water pressure (which we always appreciate!). We especially loved the screened-in porch overlooking the river—it was so peaceful and breezy with three fans to keep things cool, and it was great for watching the beautiful sunsets. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area felt spacious and welcoming, and the bedrooms were both cozy and roomy. We’d absolutely stay here again!

William was a helpful host. We had a lovely time, it felt private and serene.
