My husband & I came to the island with our 3 adult children, their spouses and 4 grandchildren ages 8 months to 5 years. This was the most wonderful place for us just to relax and reconnect!! We ordered our groceries online and it was all there with the drinks iced down when we arrived. The guys loved cooking the oysters & blue crab in the outdoor kitchen. The kids played outside without the distractions of the our normally so busy life. Only time we watched TV was the UGA football game (can't miss that!!) All of us loved this place and hope to return in the future...Nothing else like it!

We were utterly charmed by the Eagle Island and look forward to returning. Captain Andy was extremely gracious in showing us various spots to take our kids. The house was very well furnished with a beautiful view of the marshes and river. Our kids had a blast and are begging to go back. Thank you Andy for a fabulous weekend.

Just spent a long weekend here with 9 of my closest girlfriends. This place was spectacular! There was plenty of room for us all. We could either all hang out together or spend time alone. Most days were spent kayaking on the river or fishing from the dock. A lot of time was spent on the porch swing in the HUGE screened in porch. The view of the night sky is remarkable. I haven't seen shooting stars in forever!

Captain Andy and his team went above and beyond to make us comfortable. They even iced down our tasty beverages immediately upon arrival AND got all of our bags from the dock to the house. They wouldn't let us touch anything. They even had our groceries packed away when we arrived.

If you're looking to relax and literally not worry about the time on the clock, book this now! You won't be sorry.

Our family loved our vacation at Eagle Island so much so we are ready to book for next year. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The views are gorgeous. The owner was attentive and checked on us during the week.

Captain Andy Hill offers the most bang for your buck! We highly recommend Eagle Island and neighboring Sapelo Island.

It is truly amazing BUT not for everyone. One must be adventurous and ready to go with the flow. We experienced the hottest week on record with frequent thunder and lightening storms but journeyed everyday to neighboring Sapelo, skirting the storms to find some of the best shelling (conch) and sand dollar beaches anywhere. On top of that there was hardly a soul to be found on the beaches... There is an outdoor, screened in hot tub with a fireplace...one night in the midst of a torrential downpour with the rain dancing on the tin roof and every frog, cricket etc singing to the pounding rain, we fired up the hot tub, lit the fire and sipped cocktails! Heavenly!

Andy goes above and beyond and is reachable by phone... we even had a leak under the kitchen sink and within an hour, help was there and the leak fixed. I highly recommend Eagle Island, who knows, you may even see the eagle, like we did... Worried about biting flies...just stay on the cleared land around the house and you are safe! Even though we had a boat (rented from Andy), we ordered all our groceries and Andy picked them up and had the house stocked with our order!

Andy, the house, the boat - everything is amazing. A perfect place to get away!

Cathy surprised me with a trip to Eagle Island for our Valentines Day wedding anniversary. I had no idea where we were going until Captain Andy picked us up at the dock in Darien. We were delivered to the magnificant Eagle Island by boat, unloaded and said goodbye to the Captain for the weekend. This was without doubt the most relaxing weekend that I can remember. The cottage has everything you could ever need and is mega comfortable. We spent the first day exploring the island and sitting on the dock fishing, reading, and watching the many birds out in the marsh. That night we grilled steaks on the more than adequate BBQ grill, drank some wine and retired to the oversized hot tub. After a late morning we had breakfast out on the inclosed deck, showered in the outdoor shower downstairs, and began another relaxing day. (see above). At the pre arranged time Captain Andy picked us up for the trip back to Darien. On the way he took us by another property that he is rehabbing. I cannot say enough about Eagle Island and Captain Andy. The property is magnificant and is about as private as one can get. The only thing that you need to bring is a tired body and food. Andy will even bring the food if you tell him what you want. We considered an oyster roast but opted against it as we had plenty of food with us. But the option is there for you. Bring plenty of wine or your favorite beverage and enjoy peace and quite like you have never imagined. We are looking forward to another trip to Eagle Island and are talking to relatives about a family reunion there. I strongly recommend this property to anyone who wants an adventure.

This was our second visit to Eagle Island. It was different this time as instead of the children and grandchild, we only took our dog. She loved the island as much as we do. An Eagle Island vacation is about rest and relaxation. A great place to have quiet times to read and walk in the beautiful natural environment and to eat. We feel it is similar to a cruise in how much you relax and how much you eat, the exception being you do your own cooking. With Andy's grocery delivery service, it is not difficult to have plenty to eat. By all means ask him to get you fresh shrimp. Shrimp and grits or low country boil go great with the overall feel of the island, although steaks are a pretty easy treat too. Be sure to make time for a meal at Skipper"s restaurant and the gift shops near the landing. We are looking forward to our next visit.
