<h3>Riverbend Retreat is a hidden waterfront vacation gem offering an ideal place to unplug and relax on the Georgia Coast. &nbsp;&nbsp;Surrounded by history, birding, boating, biking, fishing, kayaking,&nbsp;and screensaver-worthy sunsets, &nbsp;Riverbend Retreat is&nbsp;on a peninsula covered by majestic live oaks draped with Spanish moss.
This spacious, two-story, pet-friendly home has&nbsp;amazing views from the screened-in back porch, large deck, and back of the house. &nbsp;Regardless of high or low tide, your boat will sit atop deep water with a short dock only steps from the house. &nbsp;No boat? No problem!&nbsp; Our dock is known for being one of the best fishing spots in the county. &nbsp;The floating dock includes fold-down aluminum stairs, making access in and out of the water easy for anyone, including a pet. &nbsp;The stationary dock has lighting and a fish cleaning station, with water and electricity.&nbsp;&nbsp;
You will quickly find that "elbow room" is no problem due to an open and spacious floor plan. &nbsp;The main living area is upstairs, accessible by the stairs or a motorized chair lift. &nbsp;The upstairs consists of the kitchen, dining room, living room, a half bath, and the main bedroom. &nbsp;For the culinarian(s) of the group, feel free to work some magic in a kitchen that includes the tools needed for cooking, an Electrolux double convection oven, and a Jenn-Air gas cooktop/grill. &nbsp;Perfect for preparing your catch of the day. &nbsp;The dining room table provides eight seats, with three additional seats at the counter.


After dinner, get cozy in the family room on one of our oversized couches in front of a fireplace and large smart flat-screen television. &nbsp;You can also&nbsp;choose from a large selection of board games to play on our 4-seat game table. &nbsp;If you want to be more active, go downstairs for a friendly game of ping pong, billiards or fuse ball.
The main bedroom upstairs is very large and includes&nbsp;a sitting area with two recliners, a fireplace, and a large smart flat-screened TV. &nbsp;The king-size bed is adjustable by a remote which raises the head. &nbsp;In addition, there is a sleeper sofa, a desk, and a small library of books for the readers in your group.
Downstairs, is a full bathroom connecting two spacious bedrooms, with &nbsp; each bedroom having an in-room vanity. &nbsp;One bedroom has an adjustable king bed, and the other has two twin beds, a bunk bed with a twin on top&nbsp;and a queen bed on the bottom.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Convenient to I-95, Savannah, Brunswick, and Jacksonville, Riverbend Retreat is ideally located and provides all that you need for relaxation, recreation, and making memories with your loved ones that will last a lifetime.
We are always happy to answer any questions and look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you.

Riverbend Retreat Darien, GA deepwater w/dock

We booked this to fish, kayak and have fun with our kids and their friends.  It did not disappoint!  The dock allowed us to spend many nights into the wee hours fishing and relaxing.   We brought our own Kayaks but there were several there for us to use for our kids friends.  There was a ton of storage space for all the food we brought with us and EVERYTHING you need for cooking anything you want to.  From the bedrooms to the living room and dining area, it is spacious enough that you're comfortable and not on top of one another.   You won't regret choosing this house.  I've been dreaming of coming back since we left! 

Great Family Vacation 

We recently returned from our 3rd vacation in this home.  The fishing was great.  We spent one cozy day inside playing games  and sitting on the screened in porch due to rain. We had no complaints because there is a closet stocked with board games and a ping pong table as well .  On this visit, we went into St Simons and had a wonderful dinner at the Georgia Sea Grill on Mallery St.  We took daily walks and bike rides.  We are already trying to decide on when to return next year.  Thank you to the Irwins  for sharing this "little piece of heaven on the marsh."

This was an amazing trip.  The house is beautiful and so clean and organized.  Jeff and Cindy really care about you and want you to have a wonderful time.  We enjoyed the use of kayaks and bicycles.  We relaxed on the back deck and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets.  We saw dolphins in the river and my kids were over the moon about that.  

The drive to St. Simons is a little far, so you have to plan to stay the entire day if you go to the beach.  

Cindy was available for any and everything we needed the entire stay and I loved that she made sure we had a nice, warm welcome.

Amazing Sunsets

We just returned from our second stay at the Irwin's Darien home.  Before we left, we had already booked another week.  We love this place!  If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind then you will certainly find it here.  We were greeted with a welcoming gift, as well as freshly cut hydrangeas.  Every room in the house has a beautiful view.  There is a wonderful soaking tub in the master that overlooks the marsh.  The kitchen is equipped with everything that you will need including a brand new Electrolux double over.  I baked pies on vacation!  The town of Darien is very close by and has great restaurants if you don't want to cook.  We tried B & J's Seafood this visit and the fresh GA shrimp were fantastic.  Turnip Greens is a shop in town that has fresh veggies and even an ice cream counter.  This home and this town make me daydream about being retired.

Just booked another week......

We rented this fabulous house for the month of April and it was the perfect time to experience the Marsh.  My favorite time was having tea on the screened in porch every morning listening to the birds waking up.  If you like enjoying the out doors this place is perfect.  My husband could fish right off the dock and I took advantage of the kayak to explore the area.  At low tide we had dolphins visit.  The house is located in a great neighborhood with friendly people.  Our dog loved meeting them on our walks.  The house is spacious and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay.  Cindy and Jeff were wonderful to work with and answered all our questions promptly.  This is a place we hope to be able to return to for years to come.  Thanks Cindy and Jeff!
