The Vacation of a Lifetime
Submitted: July 25, 2012
Stayed: July 2012
My fiance, three young sons, and I spent a week on Sapelo staying at this wonderful property. Lucy was a great hostess! The accomodations were clean and comfortable and exactly what we needed for our family. The attention to detail was great, and had I known how thorough Lucy would be, I could have packed less. There was a small cooler on the deck and frozen cooler packs in the freezer. There were a lot of basics in the cabinets and fridge (ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper, etc.) that I was not used to having in a rental. The bed was the most comfortable one that I have slept in away from home and the sheets were the kind of soft cotton that you just can't buy straight from the store. It was a great place to come home to after the great adventures we had each day. Most of our days were filled with fishing and playing in the surf. One day I found three whole sand dollars, and having never found a complete one before was very impressed with myself, until my ten year old collected an entire large bucketful in less than an hour the next day. We probably collected more than two hundred over the course of three days. We found a conch still alive in his shell, a sea cucumber, and even some living sand dollars, all of which we threw back in. Lucy arranged for us to tour the North End of the island and the Reynolds Mansion. At times it seemed like we had traveled back to a slower-paced, less demanding era. I knew that Sapalo had worked its magic one afternoon when all of us ended up falling asleep for a nap. I don't know that EVER before had all three boys napped simultaneously. We cannot wait to return so much so that I was torn about praising this place too much, for fear that it would become so popular that there wouldn't be room next time that we are ready to go. As each of my boys said at different times, "This was the best vacation EVER."
