The Captain’s Retreat is a perfect spot for nature and water lovers. Relax at this peaceful place surrounded by conservation-protected woodlands and swamp. Well located to explore nearby attractions but experience serenity and quiet in the Carolina Lowcountry (19 mi to Bluffton, SC; 26 mi to Hilton Head; 21 mi to Savannah, GA).

About the host
Hosted by Brandy Culp
The Captain’s Retreat was the home of Captain Herb and River Dog, who are now hunting and fishing in heaven together. Professional fisherman and boat captain, Captain Herb followed his catch around the world for over twenty five years. During this time, he called the American Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Uruguay, Hawaii, Samoa, New Zealand and Tonga his home waters.
No matter how far he traveled or how beautiful his port of call, the Carolina Lowcountry was his home. In 2005, Captain Herb made Purrysburg, SC—on the Savannah River outside of the Bluffton area—his new fishing and hunting grounds. For the last nine years, he was the Wilson Landing Marina Captain at Palmetto Bluff, on the scenic May River. He cherished his time on the Grace and all of the people that he met as its captain—fellow colleagues, residents, and visitors from all over the world. Known for his salty charisma and truly genuine demeanor, he adored sharing his knowledge of local history and ecology during boat tours and private fishing charters.
Captain Herb loved his home for its serenity and proximity to hunting and fishing spots. He was always in the woods or on the water. As his only daughter, the Purrysburg house has become my special place for retreat and memory. I am now sharing our home with you while I am away.
