About this property
Quaint Cottage on Tidal Creek with Private Dock, minutes to Shellman Bluff
This quaint cottage is located on a quiet road that dead ends into McCoy Creek. Home has a private dock with some of the most beautiful Eastern views and sunrises available. Home is 400 square foot with one bedroom and one bathroom and a large screened in front porch. This cottage makes you relax the moment you walk in the door and has been completely remodeled so that each guest has all the comforts of home. Dock is brand new and will provide you access to a lively tidal creek that flows into White Chimney River and all the barrier islands that we love on the Georgia Coast.
Tide goes completely out at most low tides so you would have a 2+ hour wait time to come in or go out of the river.
The yard is large enough so a guest can bring a boat and more than one vehicle. Do not park behind the home. This is where the septic tank is located. Disregard of this notice may result in extra costs to guest should any damages occur.
No pets allowed. Sorry for any inconvenience.

About the host
Hosted by Harris Real Estate Coastal Properties
My husband and I have longed to own this property for many years as my grandparents once owned it and sold it to a family member many years ago. We were fortunate enough to purchase the property and renovate it so that others can enjoy our piece of Heaven on Earth.
The cottage is next door to our home but is very private and offers our guests the ability to relax on their private dock and enjoy some of the best crabbing and fishing around.
I truly enjoyed working on this home and turning it into a serene place to visit. -I go there often to just sit and relax.

Why they chose this property
The neighborhood was started by my great grandparents many years ago and each child and their families settled into the area. My grandparents once owned the property and later sold it to a family member. Growing up we used to have many family gatherings at this cottage and would watch our elders sit in the living room and pick the guitar and sing. I have so many great memories here that I thought it would be great to keep this piece of my history and purchase this property. We purchased our home next door about 5 years ago and dreamed of one day owning this property as well. We made the purchase August 2020 and it has been a labor of love restoring this home so others could enjoy it.
The neighborhood still consists of family members so it is a quiet area to visit.
Welcome to my piece of Heaven

What makes this property unique
This property has an expansive Eastern view of the marshes and White Chimney community. You can sit on the porch or the dock and watch the cars coming in and out of Shellman Bluff. It is so relaxing.
My husband always crabbed off this dock even before we purchased the home, the crabbing here is exceptional (in Summer months especially)
Fishing is also good in this creek, my husband fishes off our dock next door almost daily and usually always has a fish or two to bring to the house.
