Guest Comment: Sea Breeze Home, 7-7-2008 Marcia and I want to thank you for directing us to the Sea Breeze home for our vacation. We had a wonderful time doing the "touristy" type of things in the area and also in the beautiful old part of Savannah. This was the first adventure we've taken in that part of the country and really enjoyed it with Marcia's brother and sister in-law. We enjoyed the house, the porch deck and pier. The weather was very cooperative as were the mosquito's. Coming from an area where at this time of the year the humidity is high and the bugs are nasty, we couldn't have asked for better weather conditions. One of the highlights of our visit was just sitting on the house deck and enjoying each other's company, whether it be over a meal or just Mark and I smoking a cigar; the down time was just what we wanted. Please express our appreciation to Mr. Daniels and the great time we had out on the boat. The scenery was beautiful, and we even got a kick out of getting stuck during low tide. Again, thank you for making our vacation an enjoyable and relaxing time. Sincerely, Richardson, Pekin, IL 61554
Guest Comments: COAST CABIN 6-29-2008
Hello Lin - Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Coast Cabin for our stay --- we are talking about future "meet-togethers" there - very possibly for Thanksgiving. The Coast Cabin was simple, clean, comfortable and complete! We loved it. And the use of the dock was terrific -- missed the golf cart!!! Didn't realize we could have used that, but we will certainly keep that in mind for our next visit. We fell in love with and want to learn more about the Shellman Bluff area, and that means we will definitely be back! Ben (our Springer Spaniel) felt very comfortable there, and quickly became the "porch master" letting anyone who passed by know that he was in the house! Thank you for a seamless, effortless mini-vacation. B. Clark
Guestbook Comments:Moonpie Cottage
VERY POSITIVE - I rank the Moonpie Cottage a 10. For those of you who worry about booking a rental house based on pictures on the internet, have absolutely no worries at all. The Moonpie Cottage will exceed your expectations.
Here are just a few of the reasons why I highly recommend this property:
1) Clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated with southern charm 2) Centrally located very close to Shellman Bluff Village so you easily ride over to the local restaurants and pubs 3) Fully equipped kitchen and great floor plan that is the perfect for 2 couples 4) Wrap-around screened porches for your morning coffee or your afternoon nap 5) Dock access for your boat, not to mention a beautiful sunset from Serenity Place dock 6) A beautiful boat ride away to Blackbeard Island, one of the last unspoiled beaches on the East Coast 7) A very reasonable price; this is a good value 8) The opportunity to meet Lin Rogers, who is truly "the Host on the Coast" and the other friendly folks of Shellman Bluff I can't wait to return.
Homeowner Response: Getting to share the Shellman Bluff area with guests like Dana & David is my greatest reward. You are the best!!! Thanks, Lin Rogers
Guestbook Comments:Serenity Place Guesthouse
Guest: Robert Coram
During the past twenty or so years, my job has taken me to every corner of America and to many foreign countries. Being on the road for so long has taught me what to look for when I travel. Lin Rogers' retreat at Serenity Place is at the very top of my list of great places to stay.
Pleasure Bluff is located on a quiet and remote part of the Georgia coast; it is America as seen by Norman Rockwell, a quiet and idyllic little fishing village that has remained largely unchanged over the years. The view is across a great expanse of salt marsh and across Sapelo Sound to the Atlantic. The only noise is from seabirds feeding near the dock. The only hustle and bustle is from Lin Rogers doing everything possible to make sure her guests enjoy their visit. Her place has more than the expected conveniences; it has a warm and quiet elegance that is the essence of true hospitality.
Travel is about people as much as it is about places. And Lin Rogers and the people of Pleasure Bluff and nearby Shellman Bluff are among the best people I've ever met. No matter where I travel today, this part of the Georgia coast remains always in my mind. And I count the days until I can return.

To all who read these comments, believe me all the wonderful and positive things described are absolutely true. The Guest House is very comfortable, extremely clean, and peace and quiet abound. Lin and Jimmy are fantastic people. They made us feel like part of the family. My husband and I and our dog had a wonderful week, even though the temperatures were well over the mid-90's! We will be going back and look forward to the Guest House and the abundance of fresh seafood!! Thanks Lin for everything!-The Troichuk's, New Market, TN (topoper830@earthlink.net)

Lyndsay, We had a wonderful time at the Hammocks at Sapelo.The condo was just beautiful and everything was perfect.It was an exact meeting point for us to meet my brother and sister in law.They live in Rock Hill, SC and we live in Melbourne, FL so it was a 4 1/2 hour drive for each of us.The brothers love golf so it was perfect for them.And us women, well we love shopping and we hit the outlet mall and got some wonderful deals.The only problem was it all went by way too fast.It was Monday morning before we knew it and we all hated to leave.We did talk about doing it again but next time we plan to stay longer.Thank you so much for everything!!!!

Lyndsay . . . we really enjoyed our stay at the Captain's Cottage this past weekend.We were there for a family wedding, and really didn't have as much time to just relax as we would have hoped, but that had nothing to do with this lovely cottage.We had some friends join us on Sunday after the wedding and we discussed that, even though I have 2 sisters who live in the area, that it might be nice to get another couple to join in and rent one of your properties for a week . . . much too long of a time to impose on my sisters' hospitality.I have been using Shellman Bluff as a peaceful get-away ever since one of my sister's and her husband sold their home in Savannah and moved to their weekend place permanently.We found the Captain's Cottage very welcoming . . . comfortably furnished, well-equipped, clean and ready for us to move in on the appointed date.Loved that the light's were on, the music was playing, the AC was set perfectly and the key was waiting for us under the mat.How nice not to have to go to a real estate or management office to pick up the key, then walk into a hot, stuffy rental unit after a long trip to get there.What a lovely way to do business . . . only in Shellman Bluff, right?

We have really enjoyed our stay. This is such a lovely cottage.Our time here has been very peaceful!We particularly enjoyed using the kayaks and “cruising” around in the golf cart!This spot has provided some much needed rest.Only God could create such natural beauty…marshes, tide pools, birds, dolphins (my favorite), squirrels, otters (we think), and even a raccoon!What a great place to visit…

Guestbook Comments: Moonpie Cottage
Moon pie is such a wonderfully quiet retreat.We had such a nice time – Lin thanks for being so kind when we locked ourselves out!!Must do item – take the water tour with Henderson Hope!! We saw dolphins & alligators – unbelievable Henderson is a great guide.
Great meal at Sapelo Station – try the crawfish eggrolls!
Our two Golden retrievers loved swimming at Jekyll Island – the beach is worth the drive.Also, the carriage tour is very interesting.
