Waterfront, 7 acres; Stunning Home on Coastal Tidal Marsh w/Private Dock
Visit this peaceful Georgia cabin rental for a kind of quiet you didn’t know still existed, as you visit the last remaining stretch of undeveloped Georgia coast.
The only sound you’ll hear at this serene 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental in Shellman Bluff Georgia, is the breeze blowing through the Spanish moss on the oak trees that surround you.
Savor a coffee on the porch as you watch the sunrise before heading out to explore in kayaks using the private dock steps from the porch. Launch your own boat from nearby Shellman Bluff Fish Camp and tie up at your own private dock.
Smell the salt air mixed with the earthy aromas of the marsh. Take in the sunrise with a steaming hot cup of coffee on the best situated screened porch in Georgia. Sit in wonder as Mother Nature constantly changes the artwork of light and wildlife with the ever-changing tides.
Catch your dinner off your own private dock: a bounty of blue crab, shrimp and fish.
At day’s end, look forward to a campfire under the stars and a delicious seafood dinner caught in your backyard.
Come experience the log cabin that a great love story built. We've lovingly restored this sweet space and call her, "Ms. Lou's Cabin," named in honor of her original owner.
There's not another home like this on the entire Georgia coast. So special, sitting on 7 private acres.
Spend your entire time on this one-of-a-kind property or go explore. This home is perfectly situated for day trips to Savannah, Tybee Island, Saint Simons, Brunswick and Jekyll Island.
Keep your calendar handy because this place ruins you quickly. Our guests don't seem to leave without first booking their next trip back.
We can't wait to see you at Ms. Lou's Cabin!
(One note: Because of the way the VRBO software works, this is listed as a 4 bedroom cabin. A better explainer: There are two dedicated bedrooms. One is downstairs with a king-sized bed. The other is upstairs and has two queen-sized beds. The other two sleep spaces are a loft and the front sitting room which turns into a private bedroom with the use of a sliding pocket door. Both of these spaces have fold out couches that transform into queen-sized beds. If you are looking for a cookie cutter McMansion this is not your place. If you crave quirky comfort and a one of a kind place, please come see us!)
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk. Housekeeping is available on request.
If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking.

My family had a fantastic time at Ms Lou’s cabin. The place was well designed, very clean, well appointed, and was at a beautiful location. I loved the screened in porch and spent lots of time there during our trip. Daryn and Trent are great hosts. Gave lots of helpful suggestions for restaurants and what to do in the area. They responded to any question or need we had and were so nice. I highly recommend staying here when vacationing in Georgia.

Our family had the most unforgettable 11-day stay at Miss Lou’s Cottage in Shellman Bluff, GA. From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the breathtaking sunrise views over the marsh. The peaceful setting, with the sounds of local wildlife waking up in the morning, made it feel like we were in our own private paradise.The property itself is everything we could have hoped for – 7 acres of pure privacy with a beautiful dock right on the water. The cottage was fully furnished and equipped with everything we could need, from kitchen essentials to outdoor gear. We loved having kayaks and fishing gear provided, making it easy to explore the creek and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.One of the most magical moments came just 15 minutes after we arrived when a dolphin surfaced just a few feet from the dock! A couple of days later, a pair of dolphins came up the creek, feeding as the tide came in – they were so close that we could have touched them if we dared lean over. It felt like nature was putting on a show just for us.Our host, Daryn Kagan, was fantastic – thoughtful and responsive to all our needs. The level of attention to detail in making sure we had everything we needed was impressive. It truly felt like a home away from home.If you're looking for a peaceful, beautiful getaway with unforgettable experiences, this is the place. We can’t wait to return!

Stunning marsh front property in a great location with a beautiful view of the marsh through towering oaks draped with Spanish moss. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. Two comfortable bedrooms and three beds. Two additional areas have couches that can also accommodate additional guests. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Hosts live in the property next door, are amazing and go above and beyond. Our family of four had a fabulous weeklong getaway and we can’t wait to come back! We kayaked every day and fished and went crabbing off the deck. Local restaurants were within a 30 minute drive and very good. Overall we had a lovely stay in the sleepy fishing village of Shellman Bluff. Highly recommend!

Loved every minute of our 10 day trip!! Conveniently located to Savannah, Tybee Island to the north and to the south we had Darien, Jekyll Island and St. Simmons Island. Close to Harris Neck Wildlife Refuge that we visited a couple of times. Quite and peaceful except for the birds singing which I enjoyed.

Trip wasn’t long enough!
The owners are spectacular! Communication was prompt and great. Wonderful experience catching seafood from the docks. We loved sitting on the screened in porch. It was perfect for our dog. The area is beautiful and loved learning about the local ecosystem. Ate at the old school diner which was a 5 star experience and explored the Harris neck nature trail. I would love to come back once or twice annually. Can’t wait to be back!

Our host (Daryn) was/is great, always attentive and helpful whenever needed. My only reluctance to this post is the concern for others to discover this jewel of a location. We shall return!

My husband and I were relocating from PA to GA and needed a place to stay in between the two closing dates. A place where we could park our 26' Uhaul, a place that we could bring our cat, and I place where I could work remotely! Ms Lou's Cabin had all of this and so much more. We had so much going on that we couldn't enjoy all this location had to offer! Daryn was a phenomenal host and was supportive during a very stressful time. I feel I made my first friend in GA!!! Will definitely have family and friends stay with her when they come visit!! A perfect home away from home!

This was a perfect location for our 30th anniversary. The home was beautiful, quiet and clean. The salt marsh was fascinating to watch and the thunderstorms made the marsh even more amazing.

Perfection!
If you are looking for a quiet corner in which to relax away from the rest of the world then this is it! We had a fatastic time, and the quiet and tranquility you can find at Ms Lous Cabin was exactly what we needed to transport us away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Daryn was a wonderful host, communication was easy and she was helpful in so many ways, even down to how to dodge the traffic! I rarely stay in a cabin where I dont find something that bothers me. I am the person that travels with cleaning supplies and my own pillow cases because I am fussy in my old age but I had no need of them here! Beds were clean and very comfortable. Shower was fab! The cabin is well laid out and very comfy. Everything you could need and more besides! Great locaton for lots of different day trips if you want to get out, or just relax in the peace that the cabin provides!I couldnt have asked for a better experience for our first visit to the GA coast!

We saw dolphins in the marsh! It was lovely! It was secluded and so quiet it was almost disconcerting. You could actually feel the stress leaving your body when you turned down the driveway!
