Charming house

I enjoyed my stay very much. The cottage was very clean and offered everything that I needed. My favorite thing was the screened in porch which is where I spent a great deal of time. Skippers Fish camp has the best fried shrimp, so much so, I went 2 days in a row!

Stay in Darien

The cottage was lovely and comfortable. We loved the screened in porch. It was exceptionally clean! We had fun visiting Jekyll Island beach, St. Simons Island, and Savannah. The Island Market had everything we needed. We loved a light breakfast and coffee from Y’Antsone and had some delicious meals at B+Js across the street (seafood buffet!) The hosts gave us a lot of great suggestions and were very quick to respond!!

Thoroughly updated home, quiet neighborhood

Its an older home, but completely updated. The neighborhood is very quiet, with little traffic. Its a pleasant 10 minute walk to the river through a couple of squares, one featuring a nice fountain.Each time i had questions, the host responded. in just a few minutes

Owners were amazing

Darian is an adorable small town. On prior trips to visit family in Fla. we stopped there many times to have lunch and always commented that we should spend a few days there in the future. Finally we were able to book that now that we are retired. The owners of this VRBO were so amazing to work with. They gave us ideas of activities in the area and were kind and generous when we emailed about a sudden emergency with a family member. Their kind words meant a lot, and I had not found that with former VRBOs we booked. These owners were a stand-out, and I recommend this property highly. We plan to stay there in the Spring!

Incredible attention to detail is how I would characterize this historic cottage. It's clear a lot of thought went into the interior furnishings, but the real showstopper is the back porch. That's where we spent the majority of our time. It was fantastic. The location is convenient to shops and restaurants, but is incredibly quiet. The loudest noise we heard all weekend was a neighbor's rooster crowing. I don't think more than one or two cars passed by during our stay.

A quiet, non-typical, delightful vacation

This cottage was an assuming, small cottage, surrounded by a nice, quiet neighborhood. No noise whatsoever, except for that cardinal who kept seeing his enemy in our bedroom window reflection. Problem solved, close the blind! The screen porch, so nice! And the walking neighborhood, oh my gosh, so delightful! The restaurants, all within walking distance (including the Lunch Box), love them all. Dinner at dusk in Darien and a peaceful walk back home, heaven! And don't forget that wonderful chocolate store one block away! The house was very clean and Jaime included some nice treats which we partook of. The only down side for us was the sliding doors between the two bedrooms and the living room, especially the door between the king bedroom and the living room. There was a 2 to 3 inch gap at the top of the door which meant I couldn't be in the living room watching TV or having the light on without disturbing my spouse who was trying to sleep. We are on different sleep schedules so this was a challenge.

Beautiful, comfy, renovated cottage in the town of Darien.

Really enjoyed our short stay here while visiting Darien. Owners were very responsive and made check in and check out easy. We could walk to most shops and restaurants and was just a short distance to the river. House was very comfy and clean, they did a great renovating and we would definitely love to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Jaime Drawdy & Michael McGraw

Host profile image
We recently moved to Darien and fell in love with this quant town, the history and nature around us. We decided to enbark on buying a small home in downtown Darien that we ourselves have completely renovated and brought back to life. We hope to have others come enjoy our home and the quantness of our cute little town.

Why they chose this property

This property is small but filled with tons of character, cozy and relaxing. Plus we are in walking distance of downtown Darien filled with restaurants, a wine bar, a speak easy, antique shop's, beautiful churches and parks! Plus we are less than a 30 minute drive to St.Simons Island, Sea Island and Jekyll, 45 minute drive to Savannnah or a short ferry ride to Sapelo Island.

What makes this property unique

The house was built in 1940 and we've tried to stay close to its oringial character from when it was built. Lots of nautal wood, original wood floors and a cozy back porch over looking Columbus Park.
