About this property
Blackbeard Creek Cottage: Secluded & Waterfront
Unplug & unwind in this unique, tranquil getaway w/ miles of unobstructed views. Located on 1 acre along the coastline between Savannah & Jacksonville (10 min. off I-95), it is the perfect setting to disconnect while still having modern conveniences. You won't miss WiFi/Cable in this setting of incredible natural beauty & wonderment. A birdwatcher's paradise, a restive long weekend, a couple's retreat, a writer's oasis, a snowbird's haven- you're sure to feel refreshed & rejuvenated.
The space:
Blackbeard Creek Cottage is a studio cabin built in 1966 on a 1-acre bluff overlooking miles of unobstructed marsh views. Enjoy the never ending salt air breeze and soak in the incredible sunset while sipping your favorite beverage. Take delight in the natural silence and beauty that the Georgia coastline has to offer without ever leaving the property.
The cottage houses a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a dining table, a full bathroom with a stand-up shower, one queen canopy bed in the living area, one full platform bed in the loft, two full-size couches, a small desk with chair, and a full-size ping pong table.
Guest access:
Guests will have access to the whole cottage as well as all of the 1-acre property grounds.
Other things to note:
1. INTERNET: We purposely do not have WiFi/Cable. We find that staying at the cottage is a refreshing digital detox for all, but if you have Verizon, you do have service enough to hotspot your laptop if necessary depending on your provider data package.
2. WATER ACCESS: There is no dock at this time. Unfortunately, Hurricane Irma carried our dock away, and we have not been able to replace it yet. Without the dock and with the embankment bank material scattered, it is difficult to swim in the water at this time, and we advise against it.
3. NEIGHBORHOOD: This cottage is located in a coastal, RURAL, residential neighborhood. Please be respectful of any and all neighbors.
4. FENCING: The property is fully fenced except for the waterside and includes a driveway gate.
5. DESIGN & MORE: The cottage was built in 1966, and though it has been renovated, it still carries the charm, quirks, & character of its age. The interior cedar wooden beams gather dust and clingy cobwebs, and the stairs are original and very steep. There is a bi-monthly pesticide service, but some bugs still find their way inside the cottage. The faucets’ water comes from a community well and occasionally has a sulfur smell to it. There is also an older, unused shed on property that is not pictured. The bathroom wallpaper and sink are original. We chose to keep these elements from the past on purpose even though they show signs of their age. Please carefully review the listing pictures BEFORE your stay to determine whether or not you can accept or appreciate the design choices we have made and the cottage’s old charm. If you continue with your stay, we trust that you will respect our space and design choices.
6. . ALLERGIES: We allow guests to bring their beloved dogs for the trip. We do our best to rid the cottage of any evidence of the dogs, but IF you are highly ALLERGIC to PETS or DUST, you may want to choose another location to rent. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.
***** Ultimately, please be aware and mindful PRIOR TO BOOKING that it is an older cottage in the woods on salt water. Most guests love and embrace its uniqueness, beauty, and history. A rare few expect it to be a 5-star, seamless hotel, which it is not. Despite its age, please be assured that it has been carefully cleaned before your arrival. Some of the above statements may seem redundant or unnecessary. However, with the rising cost of fees and taxes applied (that we unfortunately have no control over), guests expectations are increasingly reaching an unattainable reality. Again, this is not a perfect 5 star hotel. This is our comfortable second home with breathtaking views that we are happy to share with you. We hope you enjoy our little secret oasis as much as we do. ***
