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.

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!

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.

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..

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.

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.

We love to visit this area several times a year for fishing, shrimping, and family fun. This house had everything we needed at a fantastic location! We were able to keep the boat at the dock all weekend to come and go when we wanted regardless of the tide. Our host was easy to work with and super helpful. We will definitely stay here again!

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!
