Our stay was wonderful. Tod was super attentive to our questions, he met us at the ferry dock to make sure we got on the ferry and answered any additional questions we had. The Tidal Flat is a beautiful home in the midst of the wonderfully preserved nature of Sapelo (which we hope and pray it remains preserved). We can't wait to return with my husband and maybe a few others so we can all enjoy The Tidal Flat and Sapelo!

Hey Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review. Sapelo is a beautiful, tranquil island and certainly a unique destination. Answering all questions helps guests enjoy the experience the most. Since the ferry can be a little chaotic at times, I like to meet guests at the landing to make sure everything goes smoothly. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! Hope to see y'all again soon. Tod

We have stayed in this home for several times. It is always clean and stocked with supplies. The owner always reaches out before and finds out who will be coming so he can get the names and put us on the ferry list. Vary accommodating.

The house was very clean and nice. It was completely stocked for our stay. The kitchen had pots and pans for us to cook with and they had soaps and shampoos incase you forget yours. Also, they have a vehicle that they let you use to get around the island.

Total of three of us. All veteran buddies. Home is well equipped. Vehicle was convenient. Walking distance to the little restaurant and gift store across the road made it super convenient on the nights we didn't feel like cooking. Great little secluded island. I would bring groceries with you and your little favorites, it will save you time and energy traveling back and forth off the island.
