We had a wonderful experience at the property. We frequent Shellman Bluff but have never stayed here until this past weekend. The property manager was wonderful to deal with! She allowed us to check in earlier than anticipated so that we could get our stay started early. Will 100% stay here again in the future!

The repersentation on line was a bit misleading. The location is a relatively congested area we were not expecting. If you like to be in the middle of the action it's a great place. We were not looking to be in the middle of the action.

Cute little cottage

We arrived for our third visit to the area and our second time with Chris. The decor was very charming. The quiet fishing village of Shellman Bluff surprised us when it came to life at night. Tim enjoyed some of his time on the Sapelo Golf Course and taking a few trips out in the kayak. We had wonderful weather this year and enjoyed the beaches at Jeykll Island. We also took a day trip to Sapelo Island once again. Found the "Green Turnip" in Darien for fresh produce and made several trips to Sapelo Creek Seafood market. In close proximity we visited Blackbeards and Hunters. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Thank you for your kind words and detailed adventures you experienced while visiting the Aqua Bluff Cottage. Please share what kept you from a 5-star review of the cottage. The owners and I continuously strive to make improvements in our accommodations so the Aqua Bluff Cottage is just right for our guests. We have learned some folks' interest simply vary from the Fisherman's Village and Golfing Community atmosphere of Shellman Bluff.

A Little Gem

My husband and I had been on the road vacationing for several weeks and felt like we needed some downtime.Shellmans Bluff was the perfect place .T​his little Gem of a property is tucked away in a cute little neighborhood and within walking distance of a Fishing Camp with a little restaurnt we fell in love with called the Hunters Cafe. Wonderful seafood ! The property is adorable and very clean.I​​​​​t's the first time however, We've ​ be​e​​​​​n asked​ t​​​​​​​​​​o load the dishwasher, run it and had to wait to put the dishes away before checking​ out ​s​​​​o plan​ accordingly if you want to make the checkout time​.The decor and comfort make up for that​ h​oweve​r​.I highly recommend ​it.

Quiet and Relaxing

Aqua Bluff was the best place for us to unwind and relax for a few days during a long road trip. The cottage is adorable and the neighborhood is quiet and friendly. One of our best meals this trip was at Hunter’s Cafe and we loved the walkability of the whole place. I was a little disappointed that the kayaks looked like they had seen better days, as I was looking forward to exploring the river. The kayaks were filthy and covered in spiders and other insects. I’m not sure how that could have been prevented in the heat and humidity but it was really nice to have the option of kayaks. I just wish they were in better shape. Overall, we loved our stay here!

Thank you Karin we will get the kayaks washed asap. The guests typically use the boats, so the kayaks have collected a bit of dust. We will have them ready when you return. We are happy everything else was ok for you! Warm Salt Coast Regards, Chris Reddick and the Property Owners

Aqua Bluff is charming!

We recently spent a week at Aqua Bluff and learned quickly to kick back and take in the scenery and charm of Shellman Bluff, GA. In early spring, there were no crowds allowing us to bike or take walks along the water with ease. The cottage was very comfortable--modern and cozy. My husband and I were traveling with my mother and her small dog and the space was just right. Mom and I enjoyed seeing how creatively it was decorated. Aqua Bluff made a great starting point for us to explore the surrounding area that is filled with history and southern hospitality. We were able to spend a day each at Sapelo Island, St. Simon's, Jekyll Island, Darien and Savannah and still have time to taste the local cuisine and relax. Chris, the realtor, is very helpful and eager to ensure a great visit. That's just what we had!

Gone Fishin

We were looking for a location that would allow us to dock our boat and a house big enough to enjoy with 2 couples. This rental was perfect for us! The house is just big enough with 2 rooms and 2 full bathrooms. We enjoyed the living and dining areas for just hanging out and eating and playing Yahtzee at the kitchen table. The kitchen was well equipped, although could use some updated frying pans and cooking utensils. There is a lovely screened porch on the back of the house that we mostly used for storing our fishing gear. The most important part was that the house was very clean and that made us feel comfortable. It's on a quiet street just a short drive to Shellman's Fish Camp where we docked our boat. Very easy to get on the water each day. The day we spent at Blackbeard Island was our favorite. We literally had the island to ourselves on New Year's Eve. There is so much beauty and wildlife to enjoy. We definitely would stay here again.
