About this property

Panoramic Water Views, Deep Water Dock, Right outside Your Doors!

!! Please inquire if interested in 2 nights at a different rate. !!

The Casita may be my favorite home.
1 bedroom, 1 bath...a perfect hide away. You wake, stretch and look out your windows at the spectacular views of water and nature. After a leisurely morning, you just have to try the outdoor shower with enough room for two. From The Casita, you may see a pod of dolphins playing near the dock.
As the day continues, you may choose to boat over to St. Catherine's or Ossobaw Island and relax on the beach with a picnic lunch. By mid-afternoon, you head back to The Casita and the spacious outdoor kitchen now comes into play. You fire up the grill and prepare an evening meal (that somehow tastes better than any meal you've ever prepared), or you may choose to have your meal prepared for you! Your Hostess offers menu options, information upon booking. And of course, there is always the option of dining out at a local seafood restaurant.
This beautiful hideaway is close to I-95 but FAR from everything. Don't worry about leaving your pet. Pets are welcome!! Bring Your boat, dock it, then use our fish cleaning station to clean your daily catch! Local fishing and Beaching charters are also available.

- Ask about Our Wedding Venue and our
3 bedroom/2 Bathroom Newly renovated La Sirata that can
accommodate up to 8 people that is directly in front of the Casita

A great weekend getaway!

Absolutely loved our stay! It was amazing to wake up to the river every morning. The tide was so fun to watch, and the views were incredible. The outdoor kitchen was a total highlight. Cookie was truly wonderful—so kind and always helpful. This is a must-stay, and we’ll definitely be back. I’m from the area, so it’s great to know we now have a place to book when we return!

Nature with comfort

Its a beautiful location, both the house and surrounding area. The house is small but perfect for 2, with a large outdoor kitchen, hottub overlooking the river and a dock that is perfect for fishing and crabbing. It's definitely a more wild area so you will see plenty of animals, many sharing the patio with you. It's a bit buggy so make sure you bring some bug spray or torches if you don't want to fist fight the flies while you cook. Past that it's a wonderful place and Cookie is a wonderful host that will go out of her way to make sure you're taken care of.

Heaven on Earth

These pictures simply do not do this little cottage justice. Everything is meticulous planned out and laid out so well, it really makes use of the space in the best way possible. I'll admit, I had my doubts about the hanging bed, but not only was it incredibly comfortable, the slow, gentle, swaying was incredible. To say nothing of the views. I saw dolphins swim by the dock every single day, at least once a day. It feels like living in a painting. And the host, Cookie, was absolutely incredible to deal with! She was so kind and friendly, and went out of her way to make sure I had everything I possiblely needed throughout my stay. I will ABSOLUTELY be coming back for a longer stay. This place is an absolute gem!

Cookie is the best host.

The place was everything described and more. What really made it 5 stars and more was Cookie. She is by far the best host I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with on vrbo. Cookie reached out before our trip to speak in person. She gave us all the information about the area, went over different options of things to do in the area. Throughout our stay, she reached out to see if we were ok and if we needed anything. We will definitely be back again. Thank you.

Peaceful, relaxing get-away

We really enjoyed the peace and quiet to get away from it all. Kayaking and following the dolphins was an experience that we found exciting and we really enjoyed watching the fish jump and the dolphins from the hot tub. Cookie was friendly, helpful and willing to do what she could to make our experience the best.

Never wanted to leave

I dont know where to start. It was all just perfect. The outdoor kitchen was amazing. Even when it was raining, we were able to comfortably cook and hang out. There was no need for anything except the food to cook. The home itself was so cozy. I will always be begging for a suspended bed. So wonderful. There are beautiful views no matter which window you look from. Waking up to watch the sunrise without leaving the bed is remarkable. Outdoor showers, night time hot tub relaxing, fishing from the pier.. there were memories made, for sure. Cookie was amazing and offered far more than expected. 11/10 recommend. **I will be back, Cookie**

Little Piece of Heaven

Cookie is a super hostess and a great chef! We had the anniversary weekend we’d hoped for - very chill and no responsibilities! The place is so cute, comfortable with an amazing view of the river in a private feeling setting. We plan to come back again and take advantage of the boats, floats and day trips. Thank you Cookie, Alana and Lisa! P.S. Our little dog Louis loved sneaking into the main house and getting a little cuddle from Cookie. He had a great vacation, too!

Comfortable, quiet and beautifully decorated

Such a nice private spot on the river. We were sad the hot tub wasn't working, even though Cookie tried so hard to get it fixed in a timely manner. The outdoor kitchen is so wonderfully equipped and it was a real treat for us Minnesotans to be able to cook outside in the middle of the winter! This would not work well for more than two people, but the adjoining rental (under Colonel's cabins) was gorgeous and had 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. If you have a group and want to rent both so you get the huge outdoor kitchen, you will be able to party like a rock star!

Weekend Escape

My husband and I decided to head out of town for the weekend and wanted to find a property that was out of the way but still afforded comfort and convenience. Also, Covid limited the distance we felt comfortable traveling so we planned to drive. We arrived later than scheduled and had the pleasure of meeting up with Cookie as we were unloading. To say the our hostess went above and beyond isn't even a strong enough an expression to describe how wonderful she is and how great a hostess she is. She welcomed us into her home and provided a one of kind experience that we surely would not have received somewhere else. We thoroughly enjoyed the Casita, the expansive outdoor kitchen, the cozy and relaxing interior, and the spacious vistas off the patio and dock. The property is quiet, secluded and serene. Multiple bird species inhabit the area like bald eagles, blue heron and water fowl. We cooked our meals every day in the kitchen and enjoyed the fire-pit during what is probably normal January weather in Georgia but chilly for us southern Floridians. Thank you, Cookie! @Colonels Island Cottages

Left the snow for the birds--and dolphins

Our first winter as empty-nesters meant we could get out of dodge (and 20" of snow) but in a pandemic, our usual fav places (Mexico, South America) were not available. Casita seemed like a perfect alternative--and boy were we right! It was a month of pure joy. Although my partner and I both had a full slate of work daily, at 5:30 each evening we were rewarded with a beverage, fresh seafood, a soothing hot tub, and nature. Watching the birds in the colors of the sunset--including the local bald eagle who made several appearances--was a perfect end to every day. And then there were the dolphins—how can you have a bad day if dolphins are swimming by your windows? Even when the weather was 50 and drizzly, the evenings almost always cleared up and the stars were incredible. Cookie cannot have been a better host (and absolutely amazing cook). Everything was as advertised--and better. The home was clean, quaint, quiet, and so beautifully decorated. We slept like champs in the hanging bed and used the outdoor kitchen every day--it was well appointed and super fun. The coolers (and ice machine on the property) were perfect to store all of the amazing seafood we purchased at the local fish stores. A bit like glamping for those of us who don't glamp or camp. My only complaint was my weight gain--not anticipated but well worth it!

NOT AS ADVERTISED! SPIDER INFESTED!!

I am forced to leave a negative review due to the fact that the house was not as advertised.Our stay was going to be sat-wed &as we were on the way to the house Cookie text me that the gas,outside kitchen&hottub does not work which the hottub was not a big deal to us being i was 7&half months pregnant at the time of our check in but we were still being charged for it. Upon arrival@10:30pm on Sat we entered the house and started to unpack my husband proceeded to bring our stuff in the house,which he had a flashlight in his hand when he came inside and noticed a very LARGE SPIDER&spider web in the corner where the brick wall joins the bedroom.He then started looking around even more&seen 2 more spiders near the ceiling fan and even more spider webs throughout the home at which point we contacted Cookie&ask for her to come take a look at what we had found.She arrived around 11pm and we showed her the pictures we had taken and told her that not knowing whether the spiders were poisonous or not that we did not feel comfortable staying in this house.She then proceeded telling us that she had another house we could look at and possibly stay in if we wanted.So we loaded up everything&went to the other house just down the street,we went inside&there were as many if not more spider webs in that house.We then decided not to stay at either location.At this point Cookie informed us that she would have no control over giving a refund and that we would have to contact VRBO which we said we would do the following day.Now it was around 12midnight&we decided to part ways.We made contact with her the following day to seek out a refund after being informed by VRBO that the refund would have to come from her.She then proceeded to tell us that her houses were not dirty&that they were off the beaten path that we should not have left due to 1 little spider&1 spider web.She then told us that she was going to have an exterminator come out on Mon which she said neither of them seen a spider.Then she said a few messages later that the spider we had seen was not poisonous.Either way we did not feel comfortable staying at either location due to the 3 spiders we had seen and the signs of spiders.So at this point she does not want to give a full refund&tells us that we are just trying to hurt a small business.We have not received an apology or any refund. She has been very difficult to deal with&she has now blocked my #.I hope you have a better experience than we did.

About the host

Hosted by Cookie Lopez

After retiring from the corporate world, I decided to dedicate Myself to the Island and to providing the ultimate Island Paradise Vacation for our guests. I turned this rustic garage into a beautiful guest house for friends. Comments from family and friends about our hospitality, the beauty of our guest house renovation, and the unique beauty and serenity of the Island ultimately helped us decide to open up our Casita!!!

Why they chose this property

I was a 'City Girl', but a friend brought me to the Island and their family spent over 30 years on Colonels Island enjoying and celebrating Island Life. My first time visiting the Island, I thought I was going to some Godforsaken middle-of-nowhere places. After a few days, I knew that I never wanted to leave!

What makes this property unique

Imagine living in a place where you can look in almost every direction and see beautiful coastal water! Dolphins jump every day! I wake up and see Deer in our front yard! Living in the outdoors surrounded by the sounds of nature... indescribable! Please come see for yourselves!
