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.
