About this property

Pine Harbor Paradise

Hello, and welcome to our family River House. We’re glad you stopped by. Our River House faces due east and is located directly on the Sapelo River in Pine Harbor, a quaint and quiet community in northern McIntosh County, Georgia.

The fully furnished 3 bedroom 2 bath house awaits you and your family to create some lifelong memories just as we have and continue to do today. All you need to bring is yourselves and a change of clothes. Grocery stores and restaurants are just minutes away along with Shell Creek Seafood in Eulonia, the Shellman Crab Company on the Shellman Bluff Road, and The Market in Darien for retail purchase of fresh local seafood. Amenities located on this almost 2 acre property include a private pool, a private dock, shaded deck and plenty of outdoors for children to play and explore.

Bring your boat! We can assist you in launching your boat at the private hoist or direct to nearby landing for back down launching. If you choose not to bring your boat, numerous local charter captains are available for fishing, casting and day trip excursions. Kayak rentals and tours are also available.

Downtown Shellman Bluff is a mere 5 minutes away. There you will find a sleepy little fishing village with an excellent choice of dining options such as Hunter’s Café and Speed’s Kitchen along with Knotty's and Blackbeard Cove. Sapelo Hammock Golf Club is also located in Shellman Bluff. This challenging and scenic 18 hole course is carved out of the pristine coastal Georgia landscape. Enjoy breathtaking marsh views while play is routed through fairways lined with majestic live oak trees adorned with Spanish moss.

Plan a day trip to take the ferry to Sapelo Island and explore the Big House, the Lighthouse and the pristine beaches. The Harris Neck Wildlife Refuge to the north and Butler Island to the south are just minutes away for birding and various other types of wildlife viewing. For the history buffs start in Pine Harbor with the burial site of General McIntosh. Darien, founded in 1736, is mere 15 minute drive to the south. McIntosh County history dates back to the days of General James Oglethorpe. Some of the historic locations to visit in and around Darien are Fort King George, the waterfront Tabby Ruins and Ashantilly in Darien, not to mention the smallest Church in America at South Newport.

With Savannah 45 minutes to the north and St. Simons and Jekyll Islands 45 minutes to the south, day trips for shopping, sightseeing or to the beach can be an added bonus to your stay. Thank you for stopping by and please contact us with any concerns.

Something for everyone.
Only a handful of times do you find somewhere thats checks all the boxes. For us, Pine Harbour Paradise did just that. A pool for my diva wife and dock for me to tie up my boat. Beautiful setting in a quiet peaceful neighborhood. We enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Hurricane Debbie tried to put a damper on our vacation, but we still made the best of it! Had an awesome time. Caught crabs and shrimp and a few fish. Swimming pool was a huge bonus as well! Hope to be back again! Hopefully without a hurricane next time(:

Family Spring Break Vacation
The property was exactly as described with many neat historical attractions in the area. The sand gnats were a bit of a nuisance but that is expected in the South around that time of year so bring some bug spray and enjoy the river.

Repeat stay at Pine Harbor
We stayed at Pine Harbor year before last and enjoyed it so much we wanted to return! We love the pool and spent most of our time swimming. The only downfall this trip was the previous tenants left discarded seafood in the trash can so we had to deal with flies all during our stay, otherwise we enjoyed our time here.
