Why Dana Mullins chose Colonels Island

Love for the Georgia coast and salt water activities

What makes this cottage unique

My fondest memories were cultivated while on the salt water of the Georgia coast and we wish to craft the same experiences for you, your family and friends at Salt Crest. Imagine the pride of showing off a big fish caught offshore, the feeling of salt on your sun-baked skin after a full day of water skiing, the excitement of pulling up a cast net full of shrimp for a low country boil, and the thrill of finding the perfect seashell on the unspoiled beach of Blackbeard Island. You can now create your own coastal memories just like these at Salt Crest.

Have you ever rented a place only to get there and think, "What have I done!" that certainly didn't happen at Saltcrest - we couldn't believe how beautiful the cottage was (cottage is an understatement as it is an amazing home). Other than your clothes, you don't need to bring a thing - their kitchen had everything from different spices, sugar, flour, coffee, to a wonderful gift basket that we snacked on our whole stay - not to mention the bottle of wine. The bathrooms had everything from soap, shampoo, conditioner, towels including beach towels. The grounds had everything you could think of to keep you entertained, kayaks, fishing gear, crab pots, games, patio chairs on the beach, on the decks, on the piers. Sitting out on the deck at night looking at the stars was unbelievable. Dana helped us out with a lot of recommendations for places to eat, places to go - all good. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we had to stay another night. Our only regret is that we didn't get to meet Dana and David - sorry you didn't make it up that weekend, but thanks for a great time in a fabulous place! Jean, Jim, Jimm and Karen

Thanksgiving break 2010

Wow!! One word can sum up this review. The cottage and location are perfect for a family getaway and the pictures really do not do it justice. Dana was on call over the weekend for questions and dining suggestions and for a potato masher required at the last minute for our Thanksgiving dinner.
The welcome pack on arrival was a lovely surprise and most appreciated. All in all the accommodation is beautifully presented and very homely, I would easily live there in a heartbeat.
Highly recommended to anyone who wants to wake up to peace and quiet, picturesque sunrises, dolphins playing in the river, and all viewed from the comfort of your own bedroom!
Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us.

What a great vacation spot!

5 of 5
Submitted: September 23, 2010 Stayed: September 2010
All three homes are decorated beautifully, impeccably cIean,(as is the entire property) and had everything you could possibly need, including the kitchen. (Even the bed was comfortable!)
Dana and Dave are the true reflection of "Southern Hospitality". Both were a phone call away when we had silly questions (ran out of propane, and two seconds later there is Dave with a full one)
The scenery is so gorgeous, we woke up early every day to grab coffee on the deck to watch the sun rise.
We had the boat at the dock (fished every day!), saw tons of wildlife (dolphins are everywhere), and caught a tasty bunch of blue crabs right there off our dock (what a feast!) They even had a crab pot for us to use.
My parents just loved the ladders game.
I really hope we get the chance to vacation there again next year.
Thanks Dana and Dave...it was a pleasure meeting you both! (James is allready planning to build a "oyster house" in our yard)

Owner's Response: Dear Suzy and Hobart - We thoroughly enjoyed meeting both of you and your parents during your week long stay at Salt Crest. We love to see our guests enjoy all the activities on the salt water - boating, fishing, crabbing, shrimping and enjoying the porpoises and other marine life. It was great hanging out and laughing with ya'll on the deck. Thanks for the complements (and jokes) about David's interior design skills in the recently added Oyster House at Salt Crest. Next time, ya'll should come during a full moon as the views from the Salt Crest Cottages are so beautiful at night as well. I look forward to seeing the moon shining bright over the water this weekend. Can't wait to see ya'll again next year. I know it will always be a great time! Thanks, Dana and David

Too many laughs to count

David & Dana,
This was a perfect destination for our couples only trip for a 3 day weekend. We had 7 couples and more laughs than we can count. It was great to have exciting activities such as volleyball (@ 1am), fishing for sharkes, grilling our fresh catch, having a beer on the deck and also relaxing enough for naps and catching up. I know we will be back next year if not again this fall to fish and spend time together. Us seven girls have been friends since we were in middle school and rounding into our 30's times like these are few and far betweebn and SaltCrest was the prefect getaway! The houses are so pretty and the view can't be beat. The beds were all so comfortable, wonderfully stocked kitchens, and nothing missing from grills, cards, music, and great flat screen tv's everywhere! David and Dana you two have really outdone yourselves with the perfect party pad and also a great place for guests of all ages! I can't wait to go back!!! I would highly reccommend this to any large family gatherings or a couples retreat!!!

When we saw Saltcrest we knew it would be great, but it exceeded our expectations by so much. The amenities are far above anywhere we have ever stayed. Dana & David went out of their way to give this cottage a personal touch & make sure that one has all the comforts of home. Both of them are extremely gracious hosts and it was a pleasure meeting them. This is a quiet getaway & especially enjoyed watching the dolphins play every morning. Could not be happier w/this rental and would recommend it to anyone.
Thanks again for sharing your "piece of paradise". We can't wait for a return visit!!!!
P.S. Mikey says "Thank You".
