About this property

Deepwater retreat with dock and unobstructed views of the North Newport River!

Welcome to our exquisite home listing, where you'll discover our hidden gem nestled on picturesque Colonels Island in Georgia. Behold a truly captivating experience as we introduce you to a stunning 3-bedroom elevated house with a private dock, poised on the bank of the North Newport River.

You will be enchanted by the serene beauty and tranquility that this exclusive rental offers. Set amidst the lush, natural landscapes and spartina of Colonels Island, this vacation home promises an escape from the ordinary and a journey into relaxation and rejuvenation. As you approach, the elevated design of the house not only provides breathtaking unobstructed panoramic views but also ensures your privacy and a sense of being at one with the river.

Step inside, and you'll immediately be struck by the warmth and sophistication of the interiors. The spacious living area beckons with its tasteful furnishings, combining modern comforts with coastal charm. Natural light pours in through large windows, illuminating the decor that perfectly reflects the surrounding environment.

The heart of the house is undoubtedly the fully equipped kitchen, where culinary delights are effortlessly prepared while guests gather around and take in the breathtaking view. Granite countertops, premium appliances, and ample storage space cater to the needs of both aspiring chefs and those simply seeking to whip up some sides to go with burgers cooked on the outdoor charcoal grill.

As the day draws to a close, the three thoughtfully furnished bedrooms invite you to unwind and embrace the comfort of luxury bedding and flat screen TVs. Each room boasts its own unique character, embodying coastal aesthetics and ensuring a restful night's sleep. The master includes gorgeous river views, a King size bed, and ensuite bath with a walk in shower, while the guest rooms located at the front of the house are furnished with a single queen in one and two full size beds in the other.

But the true allure of this rental lies outdoors, where the private dock extends an invitation to explore the natural wonders of the North Newport River, Sapelo Sound, and St Catherines Island. Whether your catch comes after a trip to the gulfstream, your favorite redfish hole, or right off the dock you will enjoy the convenience of the built in fish cleaning station and the shade provided by the roof overhead. Whether you're a fan of fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the gentle sway of the water with a cocktail, the dock provides a front-row seat to unforgettable sunsets and the soothing symphony of dolphins playing.

As the sun rises over Colonels Island, your mornings are destined to be tranquil and invigorating. Sip your coffee on the deck in a rocker while soaking in the breathtaking views, or take a leisurely stroll down to the Half Moon Marina and store.

Your pets will enjoy their vacation as much as you with over an acre of fenced in yard to play and a dog door to ensure they can easily come and go of their own volition.

Conveniently located golf cart distance from Half Moon Marina and fishing Club, and a short drive from historic Ft Morris, Sunbury Crab Company, and Dorchester Shooting Preserve you won't have to leave the island. However, if you choose to make a day trip we are perfectly located 45 minutes from Savannah and an hour from Brunswick and the Golden Isles.

Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a peaceful retreat, this 3-bedroom elevated house with its own private dock promises an unparalleled experience on Colonels Island, Georgia. Book your stay today and immerse yourself in the beauty, comfort, and serenity that define this exceptional vacation rental. Your journey into coastal paradise awaits.

Best chill spot on the river

I loved it. The space is beautiful, the dolphins come right to the dock, and the owner is really wonderful. Oh, and my dog loved having access to a dog door so no late night walks. Will rent again.

Fishing paradise

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home. The view is absolutely amazing! We had the best time catching black drum and sheep head off the dock. We were able to bring our two dogs with us. I think they loved it as much as we did. We made alot of wonderful memories on this trip. Julie is absolutely amazing and is so kind. We can't wait to come back again!

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family was pleased with this property for many reasons! The check in process was simple. Communication with Julie was wonderful. The property was even more beautiful than the pictures can express. We felt such peace as we entered the home and began to explore around. Such beautiful details and touches througout home and plenty of towels, toilet paper etc. We went on vacation as a family to "ring in the New Year". This was the absolute perfect place to do it. We had so much space that we could each have our time alone and yet such a cozy atmosphere to enjoy togetherness as well. We also had our small dog with us and she had a blast with the freedom of that fenced in yard. Thank you so much Julie- each of our family members have agreed: we would love to return!

Great relaxing trip to the Georgia coast

This was our third trip to Julie's house. She has been a fantastic host each time. The house is nice and clean, she has great communication. Location is very pleasant with awesome views and very little noise pollution from the dock. We fished each time with pretty good luck, though you will have to catch and release a bunch of oyster toadfish. Interior has several smart TVs. We had access to the host's Youtube TV as well each time, which was a nice touch.

Awesome Place to Weather the Storm

Couldn't as for a better place or property owner to weather out Hurricane Helene!! From the time of the booking (back in early summer) till the time we had to sadly leave, Julie made our little fall vacay a great experience. When we lost power for 2 days during our stay, she made sure we had everything that we needed, even though she was without power herself at her home. This is definitely our new go to place for our tips to the coast..

Post Helene Stay

We had a great time and the communication was excellent with our host. She kept us up to date on everything after the hurricane and made sure we were well aware of the property status. Great place to stay for relaxing as you hang out with friends and family. Even with last minute changes on our end, she helped us out and I hope to go back soon.

Engagaement

We had the absolute best time staying here even though the weather did not cooperate with our son’s plan for a sunset engagement! The house was so beautifully decorated and was stocked with so many extras! We loved that the owner, Mrs. Julie, made special arrangements for our fur babies so they would have a special place to stay also! We went crabbing 2 days in a row and caught so many crabs on hand lines in the pouring rain! The engagement was done on the dock overlooking the water and it turned out to be so beautiful and precious! We are so thankful for being able to create so many special memories and hope to be able to go back in the near future!!

Absolutely perfect, the location, the hosts, the house. We were welcomed by Julie, our host, and immediately fell in love with this house. So many nice little touches! We especially enjoyed the huge covered porch and the fishing pier with its seating and a fish-cleaning station with running water at hand. Our family definitely hopes to return.

A week on the water

We enjoyed a week on the water with our two kids (3 and 1) and our dog. We loved that the property was dog friendly. There was a dog door and plenty of room for him to run! The kids loved eating on the porch. We brought our boat and tied up on the inside of the dock all week. The marina down the road is super hospitable and made it easy to put in/out and to grab gas/ice. We spent a lot of time just exploring and really like St. Catherine’s island. The house had tvs to stream for the kids, plenty of beds, towels, a washer/drying, and dish washer! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Relax

Wonderful property and property manager! Julie made sure we had what we needed, met us at the property and showed us around. We spent 85% of our time sitting on the porch under ceiling fans, enjoying the peace and quiet, the beautiful view of the river, the changing tides, and birds singing. Didn't turn the television on all week! Fished right from the dock and caught a 15lb Black Drum. Our dogs really enjoyed the freedom that a 1 acre fenced yard brings. No worries about them running off or getting lost. Close by some nice tourist attractions and less than an hour to the ocean. Definitely would recommend this property.

Awesome Home and Location

We can't say enough about this vacation rental. The house is furnished very nicely and we had everything we needed. The water view is so calming, whether from the kitchen, the great room, the deck or the dock. The entire time it was so peaceful and quiet, just watching boats traverse the river on occasion, dolphins, and a variety of birds. The huge fenced yard was a definite joy for our dogs as they had all the room they wanted to run and chase each other. Looking forward to another vacation there!

Lovely Setting, Beautiful and Well Maintained Home

Our Hostess met us and introduced us to the home and told us she was available by text, phone, or in person. Everything worked perfectly and we never needed assistance but we knew she was available. The fenced yard, which was huge, was a pleasure for our dog, Max. No need to worry about him when he was out with us. It was clear to us that Julie is a "dog person". There were two doggie beds and she left treats for Max. At the same time there was no evidence that a dog had actually ever been in the home. It was clean, the yard was clear of dog evidence, and if you are not a "dog person" my comments here should not dissuade you from this wonderful home. The barbecue was nice to have, we cooked out several times during our stay. The well equipped kitchen was more than satisfactory as we cooked all but one of our meals "at home". My wife and I are over 75 and we were comfortable every minute we were in this property. It is a coastal home, built above the ground, but we had no problems with the steps. The view from the large porch is lovely and the dock is well maintained. Our first day we made a trip to the Kroger in Richmond Hill, not much over 20 miles. Beyond that we shopped in the IGA in Midway for anything we needed. Also, we bought the best fresh Grouper possible at Ken's Seafood market in Midway. They had excellent fresh shrimp also. We loved our week of escape. We sat on the porch and read and let the world past us by for a week. Thank you Julie.

Simply Amazing!!

This property was everything we expected and so much more! The house was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated! The view was spectacular! Sunsets were incredible! We used the dock to fish every day and caught black bass, black drum, toadfish, whiting and croaker! We saw bald eagles soaring over the river and dolphins playing around the docks. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt we had the place all to ourselves. We would definitely recommend this spot to anyone and are hoping to stay here again.
