A family gathering

The cottage was ideal for the two of us. It is adorable! Had all the things we needed in the kitchen. It is in a great location to see family on SSI and also enjoy the town of Darien The Lunch Box is an awesome place to eat for lunch. Thanks for allowing us to stay at Moss Cottage!

A quiet, non-typical, delightful vacation

This cottage was an assuming, small cottage, surrounded by a nice, quiet neighborhood. No noise whatsoever, except for that cardinal who kept seeing his enemy in our bedroom window reflection. Problem solved, close the blind! The screen porch, so nice! And the walking neighborhood, oh my gosh, so delightful! The restaurants, all within walking distance (including the Lunch Box), love them all. Dinner at dusk in Darien and a peaceful walk back home, heaven! And don't forget that wonderful chocolate store one block away! The house was very clean and Jaime included some nice treats which we partook of. The only down side for us was the sliding doors between the two bedrooms and the living room, especially the door between the king bedroom and the living room. There was a 2 to 3 inch gap at the top of the door which meant I couldn't be in the living room watching TV or having the light on without disturbing my spouse who was trying to sleep. We are on different sleep schedules so this was a challenge.

Beautiful, comfy, renovated cottage in the town of Darien.

Really enjoyed our short stay here while visiting Darien. Owners were very responsive and made check in and check out easy. We could walk to most shops and restaurants and was just a short distance to the river. House was very comfy and clean, they did a great renovating and we would definitely love to stay again.

Stay in Darien

The cottage was lovely and comfortable. We loved the screened in porch. It was exceptionally clean! We had fun visiting Jekyll Island beach, St. Simons Island, and Savannah. The Island Market had everything we needed. We loved a light breakfast and coffee from Y’Antsone and had some delicious meals at B+Js across the street (seafood buffet!) The hosts gave us a lot of great suggestions and were very quick to respond!!

Owners were amazing

Darian is an adorable small town. On prior trips to visit family in Fla. we stopped there many times to have lunch and always commented that we should spend a few days there in the future. Finally we were able to book that now that we are retired. The owners of this VRBO were so amazing to work with. They gave us ideas of activities in the area and were kind and generous when we emailed about a sudden emergency with a family member. Their kind words meant a lot, and I had not found that with former VRBOs we booked. These owners were a stand-out, and I recommend this property highly. We plan to stay there in the Spring!
