Great for family time

We had an awesome stay at Emma’s Driftwood Farm for our family’s reunion. If you’re looking for a place to spend time relaxing then this place is for you. Kids were able to run wild while the adults relaxed by the pool. Would recommend to families with all ages! John was great at communicating and tending to our needs while we were there.

Incredible Property!

My group booked the entire property at Emma’s Driftwood Farm and it was amazing. Check-in was simple and we really appreciated the welcome gifts that were waiting for us in each house. The houses were beautiful and everyone raved about how comfortable their beds were. What really made the trip special was the setting. Being surrounded by enormous trees dripping with Spanish moss and having two docks to explore really made us feel like we were in a movie. The pool was also amazing. As the organizer I appreciated being able to call with questions or asking for help. The staff was very helpful! Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful Marsh Property and Amazing Hosts!

Emma's Driftwood Farm is hands down the most beautiful property we have ever stayed at. Growing up in Bluffton, South Carolina I truly appreciate the beauty of the marsh and Emma's absolutely exceeded our expectations. I found the property while searching for a place to host our small intimate wedding of 20 guests. It checked every single box on my list when looking for properties and more. Incredible marsh views, amazing dock, comfortable accommodations with modern upgrades throughout, and beautiful interior design. We loved how everyone had their own unique space and privacy yet could all gather around the fire comfortably at the back of the Hatcher House. The host and staff made our stay and experience at the farm even better. We arrived at Emma's the same day Tropical Storm Nicole passed over and John, Hunter, Joyce Ann, and Bubba took the extra time to make sure the grounds looked pristine before our wedding day. Any time we saw them around the property, they always stopped for a friendly chat and check in to make sure we had everything we needed. We cannot thank you all enough for making our weekend wedding so incredibly perfect and we will cherish these memories and the beauty of the marsh and property forever. Already booking our next stay for our 1 year anniversary in 2023!

Wonderful hosts, incredible property

We hosted a healing retreat here and John, Sarah, Hunter and the team were incredibly helpful and gracious hosts - meeting with us ahead of time to tour the property and managing a really incredible time for our retreat guests. We are so grateful for the care put into making a beautiful space for our group to gather. They were patient and available for the many questions that came leading up to our gathering. Our group had such a wonderful, relaxing, and fun time at Emma’s Driftwood Farm.

Great property great host great communication

Nothing bad to say here. All of the properties were exactly as promoted, clean, and very well kept. We had a family reunion and we never left the property because there was plenty to do. Fishing off the docks, swimming, pavilion with tons of games. Remote enough to be loud and have a great time singing karaoke late through the night but close enough to service if you need groceries. The host was more communicative then needed which ended up being very helpful and there were a few things we needed while we were there that they made happen. We Will definitely be visiting again.

Best kept secret along GA coast

The property is situated along a bluff with views for miles of Sapelo and various other hammock islands. It's absolutely gorgeous. Open air pavilion, a nice pool with screened in porch and comfortable furniture, covered dock, fire pits, bikes...every amenity needed is available. We'll be back...
