Private Deep Water Dock on the Sapelo River!

Your McIntosh adventure begins at this lovely river complex. The main house is approximately 1100 sq ft and features two bedrooms upstairs, each with queen beds. There is one full bathroom on the upper floor and another on the downstairs level. The 250 sqft “Bunk House” features a twin over full bunk bed, additional full mattress underneath and a futon in classic coastal style. There's a full bath, additional fridge and sink with plenty of space for guests to relax. The property features a total of 3 bathrooms with showers, as well as a cozy living room with a sofa bed.

You can also combine with our sister property next door “River Retreat” for larger groups or extra calendar availability.

Enjoy the superb views of the marsh and river from the tall bluff and dock on the Sapelo River. The dock is newly built as of April 2026. More pics to be added soon! You’ll be visited by dolphins, coastal birds and see the local crabbers harvesting their catch. The Belleville boat ramp is just around the corner for guests wishing to bring their own boat to the property. Guests also enjoy waterfront dining at the nearby Fish Dock Restaurant or getting an on-site massage in the waterfront bunk house. Additional dining and entertainment can be found by land or sea at nearby towns of Darien and Shellman Bluff. 30-45 minutes away, explore Savannah, Brunswick, and St. Simons Island.

The property has a Generac whole house generator to ensure a comfortable stay should power unexpectedly go out. The dining table has a removable top that reveals a poker table for fun game nights. Additional features include recently upgraded HVAC, washing machine, dryer, and WiFi.

By Boat, explore Sapelo Island, St. Catherine’s Island, Blackbeard Island, and all the great beaches, fishing, and pristine wildlife in the area.
Located in Townsend, this vacation home is on the waterfront. Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge and Eulonia Park reflect the area's natural beauty and area attractions include Geechee Kunda Cultural Arts Center and Museum and Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve. Kayaking, water tubing, and motor boating offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with ecotours nearby.
