About this property

Marshbreeze...on Tidal Creek with Marsh View

This house has a screened-in porch, 57 ft. long, looking out over the marshes and a tidal creek with a view of Sapelo Island in the distance. Adjacent to the porch is a 16X18 ft. deck. Sit in our Hot Springs hot tub at night on that deck under a canopy of brilliant stars, undiminished by civilization's lights. There are five sets of french doors that open onto the porch on the southeast side. Open the front door and the french doors, and a gentle breeze blows through the whole house. Yet the whole house is quite private. Our house is adjacent, but away from your viewscape. Any other neighbors are barely visible.

The kitchen overlooks the great room, with a view of the marsh through three sets of French doors. The master bedroom suite is on one side of the house, with the other two bedrooms on the other side. Two bedrooms with king size beds have French doors that open up to the porch -- or sleep on the bed on the porch, if you like. An office and den and the dining room is on the northwest. They overlook an almost private 1.5 acre freshwater pond, that you can fish in (blue gills only) and is full of wildlife and exotic birds, which include roseate spoonbills, wood storks, black-crowned night herons, white ibis', great egrets and snowy egrets, little blue herons, tri-colored herons, green herons, hooded mergansers and pileated woodpeckers. A walking trail goes around the pond (with a detour around the one other house on the pond). Dolphins will occasionally forage in the tidal creek right next to the house. The third bedroom, with a queen bed, views the pond and a corner of the marsh. We also have an office (with a futon) that faces the lagoon. If you just want to hang out, we have a flat screen HDTV, Blu Ray player, Netflix and Amazon Prime instant stream movies, plus a good sound system.

Six people can sleep in the 3 bedrooms. Two additional people can sleep on the futon in the office. (note: we offer a maximum of eight people, and we charge an additional $5/night/person over four people.)

Two sit-on-top double kayaks and one canoe are on-site, making it easy to get on the tidal creek right from our property during a high tide. We also have eight bikes of various types sizes. For motor boats, there is a public launch for a fee (back-in trailer for free) a few miles away. Take your own boat out to Sapelo Island (within sight of the house) and its beautiful beaches, or take the $5 ferry from it's launch a mile away. Drive 25, min. to the Harris Neck Wildlife Reserve and see the finest bird rookeries on the Georgia Coast and probably the whole southeast Atlantic Coast.

Nature Getaway

The property was in a lovely spot on the marsh and was open and comfortable. There was plenty of space for 3 couples and we really appreciated the willingness of the host to let us use bicycles, kayaks, and binoculars. We enjoyed exploring the nature in the area and opted to go to the beach within an easy drive since our weekend turned out to be so warm. A lovely stay!

Marsh tranquillity

Wonderful spatial property with exceptional views from the large screened porch. Enjoyed eating within the graciously stocked kitchen as well as at fine seafood restaurants nearby. Our ramblings were historical, scenic, and fulfilling. Home base was exceptional.

Marsh house does not disappoint

We loved everything about this gem of a property: the huge porch where we watched amazing sunrises, ate dinner, and relaxed on; the comfortable mattress in the master bedroom; great WiFi; fully stocked kitchen; and the hot tub to relax and count the stars after a full day! Our dog got lots of good sniffs during his walks on the property and we had little thrills seeing the two resident alligators in the pond near the house! Highly recommend this place for a tranquil and peaceful escape.

Very serene and relaxing stay

This was a very secluded, private place to stay at. There was plenty of space and the screened porch was amazing to just sit and watch the marsh. We had a couple of issues but the owner was pretty responsive. I will definitely be back to stay here again.

We Love the Marsh

As many others have stated, the view off the back screen porch is awesome! We also enjoyed watching the egrets and roseate spoonbills off in the marsh. The house was wonderful and the beautiful art throughout made us feel like we were in an art museum. Our hosts were fabulous greeting us when we arrived and providing lights when the power went out for a couple of hours (after effects of Hurricane Helene). We will definitely be back again to stay at this great location.

Marvelous Property overlooking the Marsh

Want a relaxing long weekend with a great location and great seafood, Marshbreeze is the place to go. Weather was perfect for sitting on the screen porch or in the hot tub and bird watching--we even saw a flamingo fly by. Our son is a history buff, so we visited multiple historical sites dating back to the 1700s. All the beds were very comfortable and Don and Susan are great hosts. We will plan to visit again!

Incredibly Peaceful

This property exceeded my expectations from the moment I stepped inside. The house is large, spacious, and clean, especially considering it stands directly on the marsh. The view is indescribable, and so peaceful. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. There’s plenty of towels, toilet paper, and extra pillows. Bed and pillows are comfy. Don has superb hosting skills. He quickly greeted us at arrival, and checked up throughout our stay. He is eager to assist with kayaking, bike routes, and just all around friendly. The property is soul soothing.

Quiet and peaceful

This property is amazing for those who want to escape hustle and bustle and just enjoy a comfortable quiet setting. The huge screen porch is fabulous and they also have a large hot tub on the open deck. Would definitely stay again but depending on time of year bring your bug spray when walking outside. Saw egrets, herons, deer, and even an alligator. House was super comfortable and everything you need is already there waiting for you

Hidden treasure

We had a wonderful stay here last March, just our style.surrounded by the trees full of the morning songs from the birds. The marsh was a restful sight all day especially in the evening light. The house was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated thru out with interesting art and all our needs met for sure in kitchen . Lovely, interesting owners,there if you need them.we would return for sure .

Lovely marsh views

This was our second visit to Marshbreeze. It is a well-stocked comfortable home. The hosts are readily accessible and helpful. The creeped in porch affords incredible marsh views. Unfortunately, I was sick for the entire visit, but, as my husband said, “At least it’s a great place to be sick,” i’m Looking forward to a return visit so I can more fully enjoy the marshes and the wonderful seafood in the area.

Beautiful and relaxing stay

We absolutely loved our time at this house. The home was much larger than we were expecting and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could’ve needed. The ramp to the house made it easy to unpack the car (there was even a cart to load all of our luggage in one trip) and was also great for our elderly dog. The best part were the views! We lived on the back porch watching the beautiful sunrises over the water and enjoying the breeze throughout the day. We didn’t want to leave but are looking forward to returning again soon!

Perfect place to escape for a week

Marshbreeze was everything we were looking for in a coastal getaway. This was our first time exploring the Georgia coast and it was a terrific location. Don and Susan were perfect hosts and have a fully stocked and comfy home. Spending family time with meals on the screened porch will not be forgotten. What a relaxing setting to just watch the ebb and flow of the tide and listen to the many noises of the marsh. Highly recommend visiting Marshbreeze. Thanks! Mike & Gabi

Beautiful house on the marsh

The perfect rental for our family reunion. Stunning views of the marsh and distant islands from the screened-in porch. This beautifully designed, clean, and well-equipped house completely lives up to its online description, and provides a comfortable home base for relaxation and exploration of the southern Georgia coast. We loved using the bikes, and would have used the canoe and kayaks if we'd had a longer visit. The owners were helpful and generous in accommodating our specific needs. We feel very fortunate to have stayed at Marshbreeze!

Nice Spacious Older Home

Pretty views and very spacious for a big family. Property is a bit dated. Beds need new pillows and bedspreads. Hot water is on for a very short period, long enough for a quick shower. Kitchen is fully equipped. Lots of steps entering and exiting, just FYI. Kids enjoyed fishing and caught a few. Overall a nice weekend.

A Lovely Piece of Paradise!

Great home with all the amenities! I counted 14 bikes, two kayaks, and a canoe, and there’s probably more that I didn’t see. Beautiful view of the marsh from the huge, screened back porch, very comfortable furniture, ice cold air conditioning, wonderful Southern hospitality, and lots of room to walk your dogs! It’s a very dog friendly home and I loved staying there! So peaceful! Thank you for everything… I’ll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Don Carson

Host profile image
Susan until 09/09 was director of Canopy Studio, an aerial arts teaching and performing center in Athens, GA. Don built Canopy Studio and did the rigging and technical work there. He now makes carbon fiber dance trapezes and sells them all over the world. Susan still teaches some workshops and master classes around the country, but mostly she teaches occasional workshop/retreats to aerialists that come from around the country to the aerial dance studio that Don built next to Marshbreeze (which opended April, '13).

They met in New York City (where Susan taught and performed and Don was a commercial photographer) before moving to the SF bay area for 9 years, then to Athens for 10 years. Now they are full time in Darien.

Why they chose this property

We decided that we love the marsh more than the beaches. There is so much wildlife just off our deck. It never gets dull. One minute it is tranquil with a golden glow sunset. Then, other times we are treated with a symphony of thunder and lightning. We like the proximity to Savannah as well as the civilized Jacksonville airport.

What makes this property unique

Fabulous for bird watchers.
