3 Bedroom House in Meridian, Darien

Riverbend Retreat is a hidden waterfront vacation gem offering a place to unplug on the Georgia coast. Surrounded by history, boating, biking, birding, fishing, kayaking, and screensaver-worthy sunsets. Riverbend Retreat is on a peninsula covered by majestic live oaks draped with Spanish moss.
This spacious, 2-story, pet-friendly waterfront home has amazing views from the screened-in back porch, large deck, and the back of the house. Regardless of high or low tide, your boat will sit atop deep water with a short dock only steps from the house. No boat? No problem! Or dock is known for being one of the best fishing spots in the county. The floating dock includes fold-down aluminum stairs, making access in and out of the water easy for anyone, including a pet. The stationary dock has lighting and a fish cleaning station, with water and electricity.
You will quickly find that "elbow room" is no problem due to an open and spacious floor plan. The main living area is upstairs, accessible by the stairs or chair lift. The upstairs consists of the kitchen, dining room, living room, a half bath, and the main bedroom. 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, perfect for preparing your catch of the day. 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 a smart flat-screen television. You can also choose from a large selection of board games to play on our 4-seat game table. 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 a sitting area with two recliners, a fireplace, and a large smart flat-screened TV. The king-sized bed is adjustable by a remote which raises the head. 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 large bedrooms, with each bedroom having an in-room vanity. One of the bedrooms has an adjustable king bed and the other has two twin beds, a bunk bed with a twin and queen bed.
To enjoy the river, there are four single-person kayaks, one 2-person kayak, and a lightweight canoe. Only minutes away from Riverbend Retreat is a marina with a lift and boat ramp where you can fuel up and purchase bait.
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.
Jeff and Cindy Irwin

Summary: This property was exactly as pictured/described. If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, this is the one - the neighborhood is super quiet. Furniture is very comfy, kitchen has every single thing you might need, and the screened-in porch was just lovely. We enjoyed all types of weather and the view is simply amazing! We walked, biked, kayaked, visited the town, and did a lot of bird-watching. We want to thank the property owners for sharing their piece of paradise - they are excellent hosts and have truly thought of everything. We will be back!

Summary: We spent a long time searching for the perfect location for extended family to spend Christmas together and we chose correctly! This location on a deep water creek was scenic and unique. We weren’t familiar with Darien, but found it to be not over-touristy with plenty to see and do. There’s a lot for the nature lover and history buff to revel in here-we wished we had more than a week! The house itself was spacious, comfortable, and clean. The hosts had decorated it for Christmas, which was really nice. Our teens loved the games in garage and fishing off the dock. We saw lots of birds, dolphins, and my brother-in-law even saw an otter!

Summary: Excellent stay. Cindy and Jeff were very responsive and cordial. The house overlooked a bend in the river with expansive marsh views. We saw over 40 species of birds just from the deck. Dolphins too. The house is well appointed with plenty of basic supplies. I was especially pleased with the plethora of kitchen towels. Be sure to stop by Shell Creek Seafood (on 99 near 17) for shrimp and fish on your way in. I hope to return.

Summary: We have done several VBRO rentals in the US, and some sponsored by competitors in Europe, and we have never stayed in a home as well prepared for guests as this one. Every cooking device we wanted, a cabinet filled with spices, a charcoal and a gas grill, bikes, kayaks, and games. Close to shopping, but a very private home. Wow! Cindy was "on-call" and responded to our questions, but truthfully, we had very few questions. The internet was fast, we used our Netflix account for TV, and watched Football on the cable stations. We loved our stay. Mary and Rodney Thompson

Summary: This property was very well kept and very clean and organized. The kitchen was very well stocked. We had a great time catching shrimp and using them for bait to catch our fish…which was our dinner one night 😊. The host, Cindy and Jeff, were great..:easy to contact and kept in touch making sure our stay was going great. They provided all kinds of games, had a ping pong table, bikes and kayaks. It was a very nice home and we had a great time. I would recommend to anyone.

Summary: What a wonderful time! This trip was our Christmas gift to the kids/grandkids, something we switched to doing 6 years ago instead of material gifts. The home is amazing, location perfect. Jeff and Cindy are the nicest hosts ever!! We visited Jekyll Island, Driftwood Beach, St Simon’s Island and a quick trip to Amelia Island in northern Florida. While we loved beach time, our favorite was swimming/kayaking in the river right at home. From the dock we also fished, caught a few small fish, a sea trout and a couple of young stingrays that were released. We found that the current slows almost to nothing about an hour before high tide. Lots of games, bikes to ride, and a table tennis/pool table in the garage. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t there. The back deck with the sail shade was so relaxing along with the hammock on the lower patio. Overall this vacation is at the top of our favorites!! Thank you Cindy and Jeff, we’ll be back in a few years.
