Where the trees weep with Spanish moss and the twisting waterways sail you far away from the outside world. Our historic property is surrounded by stunning views and is the perfect place for your private getaways and corporate retreats. Our two deep-water docks and five water-front dwellings right off the inter-coastal waterway sit on eighty-one acres of picturesque marshland brimming with aquatic life, soaring domestic fowl, and local flora. Emma's is the ideal place to call home while enjoying all the fly-fishing and inshore fishing, birding, crabbing, and boating that the Georgia Coast has to offer.

For additional photos and information of the included individual accommodations, please see the bottom of the description for each listing number.

All dwellings on the property have sweeping views of the marsh, creeks, and 200 year old live oak forest. Our natural creek bluff is a perfect low impact spot to access the tidal waterways surrounding Sapelo Island and beyond. Renting this listing grants you access to all 81 acres, both deep water docks, and all five dwellings on property (Hatcher House, Rum Runner’s Cabin, Ranch House, Dogtrot, and Fisherman's Quarters), and our brand-new heated pool and spring house.

The maximum guest count for the property is 35, not to be exceeded at any point without prior written approval. Guests who book the whole property are offered a pet fee that is reduced from $500 to $350 per stay.

POOL & POOL HOUSE!
Reserving the entire farm guarantees private use of the pool & screened-in pool house. Relax under dangling moss and take in the views of the marsh, or take a dip in the pool, heated for year-round enjoyment.

***Just 40 minutes away from local beaches at St. Simons & Jekyll islands, or reach out to your host to arrange a trip to the beautiful & secluded beaches at Sapelo Island***

Beautiful Marsh Property and Amazing Hosts!
Emma's Driftwood Farm is hands down the most beautiful property we have ever stayed at. Growing up in Bluffton, South Carolina I truly appreciate the beauty of the marsh and Emma's absolutely exceeded our expectations. I found the property while searching for a place to host our small intimate wedding of 20 guests. It checked every single box on my list when looking for properties and more. Incredible marsh views, amazing dock, comfortable accommodations with modern upgrades throughout, and beautiful interior design. We loved how everyone had their own unique space and privacy yet could all gather around the fire comfortably at the back of the Hatcher House. The host and staff made our stay and experience at the farm even better. We arrived at Emma's the same day Tropical Storm Nicole passed over and John, Hunter, Joyce Ann, and Bubba took the extra time to make sure the grounds looked pristine before our wedding day. Any time we saw them around the property, they always stopped for a friendly chat and check in to make sure we had everything we needed. We cannot thank you all enough for making our weekend wedding so incredibly perfect and we will cherish these memories and the beauty of the marsh and property forever. Already booking our next stay for our 1 year anniversary in 2023!

Wonderful hosts, incredible property
We hosted a healing retreat here and John, Sarah, Hunter and the team were incredibly helpful and gracious hosts - meeting with us ahead of time to tour the property and managing a really incredible time for our retreat guests. We are so grateful for the care put into making a beautiful space for our group to gather. They were patient and available for the many questions that came leading up to our gathering. Our group had such a wonderful, relaxing, and fun time at Emma’s Driftwood Farm.

Great property great host great communication
Nothing bad to say here. All of the properties were exactly as promoted, clean, and very well kept. We had a family reunion and we never left the property because there was plenty to do. Fishing off the docks, swimming, pavilion with tons of games. Remote enough to be loud and have a great time singing karaoke late through the night but close enough to service if you need groceries. The host was more communicative then needed which ended up being very helpful and there were a few things we needed while we were there that they made happen. We Will definitely be visiting again.
