About this property

Pine Harbor Paradise

Hello, and welcome to our family River House. We’re glad you stopped by. Our River House faces due east and is located directly on the Sapelo River in Pine Harbor, a quaint and quiet community in northern McIntosh County, Georgia.

The fully furnished 3 bedroom 2 bath house awaits you and your family to create some lifelong memories just as we have and continue to do today. All you need to bring is yourselves and a change of clothes. Grocery stores and restaurants are just minutes away along with Shell Creek Seafood in Eulonia, the Shellman Crab Company on the Shellman Bluff Road, and The Market in Darien for retail purchase of fresh local seafood. Amenities located on this almost 2 acre property include a private pool, a private dock, shaded deck and plenty of outdoors for children to play and explore.

Bring your boat! We can assist you in launching your boat at the private hoist or direct to nearby landing for back down launching. If you choose not to bring your boat, numerous local charter captains are available for fishing, casting and day trip excursions. Kayak rentals and tours are also available.

Downtown Shellman Bluff is a mere 5 minutes away. There you will find a sleepy little fishing village with an excellent choice of dining options such as Hunter’s Café and Speed’s Kitchen along with Knotty's and Blackbeard Cove. Sapelo Hammock Golf Club is also located in Shellman Bluff. This challenging and scenic 18 hole course is carved out of the pristine coastal Georgia landscape. Enjoy breathtaking marsh views while play is routed through fairways lined with majestic live oak trees adorned with Spanish moss.

Plan a day trip to take the ferry to Sapelo Island and explore the Big House, the Lighthouse and the pristine beaches. The Harris Neck Wildlife Refuge to the north and Butler Island to the south are just minutes away for birding and various other types of wildlife viewing. For the history buffs start in Pine Harbor with the burial site of General McIntosh. Darien, founded in 1736, is mere 15 minute drive to the south. McIntosh County history dates back to the days of General James Oglethorpe. Some of the historic locations to visit in and around Darien are Fort King George, the waterfront Tabby Ruins and Ashantilly in Darien, not to mention the smallest Church in America at South Newport.

With Savannah 45 minutes to the north and St. Simons and Jekyll Islands 45 minutes to the south, day trips for shopping, sightseeing or to the beach can be an added bonus to your stay. Thank you for stopping by and please contact us with any concerns.

Great Weekend!

Another wonderful weekend at the Riverhouse- Ken is a great host and the house, pool, and property were very clean, as always! Nice neighbors in a quiet neighborhood-Didn't get much fishing in due to lots of lightening but my grandson was able to catch a hammerhead shark off the dock and he was thrilled! Thank you ,Ken, for another wonderful family vacation!

Ken responded quickly and was very nice. The property was clean and as advertised. Location was excellent. Seemed to be well stocked. We didn’t cook just ate sandwiches etc or ate out. Went for fishing and rest but we didn’t check the weather and it didn’t cooperate so we left early. Two things that come to mind I would change is add shades to the doors you can pull down at night for privacy and seal off the fireplace inside.
