I’ll be back…
I have an annual golf tournament at Sapelo Hammock. Always stayed at a friend’s condo on the course but he sold it. Not many options in Townsend that fit our needs so very happy I found this place and will short list it for next year. Scott was very responsive and quick to reply. Short drive to Sapelo Hammock. No issues with neighborhood or neighbors. Great experience all the way around.

Golf getaway
Unique and perfect setup for what we were looking for; golf getaway weekend with high school friends, we were looking for something casual and comfortable. Beautiful view of the river, close to the course, host was super-reaponsive, and, us being from the country, perfectly "not dancy" but nice. Great properrty!

October trip.
This property was perfect for my family of 3. The home was very neat and clean. We spent most of our time on the dock, which was wonderful. The owner was very helpful and very responsive. You will not find a better value on VRBO for a waterfront home.

Great place to stay
We booked this place right after hurricane Helene. Scott the host was not only upfront about the conditions of the house, but very responsive to any of our needs or updates that we needed to know about. The River Hut is awesome, and was the perfect setup for my family. We liked the main house but loved the bunk house as we could put our fishing poles out and watch them from inside. The dock was great, we caught tons of sheepshead, shrimp and a couple small sharks. If you're looking for an old sleepy fishing town then this is your place. Bring a cooler there's plenty of fresh seafood to take home. We will definitely be booking this place again.
