Amazing retreat for relaxing and recharging!
We absolutely love this little spot! It is remote and ideal for unplugging and stepping away from all the digital hustle bustle of regular lives. We enjoyed the fall just as much as other times of the year; it was just beautiful and we definitely will be back!

Great stay!
The Chachalaca Retreat was a great place to stay. It was very clean. It had everything we needed, and more. The mule was helpful getting around the island. John, and Sara were very helpful they answered any questions we had right away. We had a meal fixed by Cheron, that was delicious. We can't wait to go back.

Great place for a relaxing getting-away-from-it-all vacation. House was beautiful and very well equipped and stocked. Great wifi and satellite tv. Property Manager was super responsive and helpful when storm briefly took out satellite and with any questions we had. Loved riding around on the mule! Would definitely recommend!

special place
From start to finish this is a very special place to retreat for a long weekend or more. The cottage is more than comfortable and surrounded by beautiful trees. They have really thought of everything you might need, and it really makes a difference. We loved the Southern food Sherron brought by each night, and it was an added treat to hear her stories about growing up on the island.Our dog was in heaven to be able to run free on the trails and beach (which we had all to ourselves). John was so helpful helping us haul all of our provisions over in his boat and truck...even let us take a look at their other properties on the Darien side. We will be back soon! Thank you for a perfect weekend.

Consistently Exceptional
My family has vacationed at this property for the last 2 Labor Day holidays. And we'll likely be there next Labor Day. The home was well appointed, clean, and well stocked on both occasions. My children LOVE the tree swing in the front yard. Watching deer, cows (seriously), armadillos, and skinks from the backyard is simply amazing. Location is perfect. The home is just far enough out of Hog Hammock to make you feel like you are in your own world, and yet the little general store is only 5 minutes away. The motorized mule that comes with the rental is a must in order to take the old non-paved road to the beach. Looking forward to my next trip to Chachalaca!

Best VRBO yet
Our stay has been absolutely wonderful. This house has everything you need. Very comfortable. Beds are great - but tall! The Mule was fun. John, property manager, was on top of things for us. I hope Sapelo stays undeveloped and the beach as pristine as it is. Quiet quiet quiet. I was the only person in the water this afternoon. We’ve already booked a return stay. Taking home memories and sand dollars. Short drive to beach, but you wouldn’t want to walk it. A really nice place to stay. Just keep it simple with food and clothes that you have to tote on the ferry, and enjoy the quiet.

Property itself was very nice
Overall, the property is quite nice. Sapelo Island itself isn't much to visit in the winter time or, frankly, any time at all unless you're really into hanging out on pristine, secluded beaches. (In season, in terms of activities, I suppose fishing from the beach -- surf casting -- might be fun & productive. And birding's always available, though I wouldn't say Sapelo Island is a riot of interesting bird life.) In retrospect, my main feeling is that while the property is nice and the manager, John LaFeve, is extremely on-the-ball and responsive, the rental is not worth the price -- it's too expensive for what you "get" or need.

Amazing, unique, adventurous experience
The property was nicely appointed, comfortable beds, great screen porch for meals and very quiet in tucked away side “street.” (A path that deadends into a wooded nook). Assuming the one neighboring house is empty (it was for us and we felt like we had our own little piece of the woods). A utility shed has beach supplies, bikes, games, but the game changer was the included Kawasaki Mule, which was our ever present guide and explorer of this wild island. Everyday we’d discover something or somewhere knew in this vehicle that could travel just about anywhere. And most of the time we were the only ones at these destinations. Such a unique place. Use Emma’s to help you book a fishing trip. We had a great time with Capt Massa. Use Sharron Grovner for a local dinner, and her mom Lula supposedly hosts a great dinner too.

Anniversary trip
Sapelo Island is the perfect place to get away from everything……..and I do mean everything! It does take some effort to get there but, well worth it. The house was amazing; the craftsmanship was impeccable, and the house was very comfortable. We enjoyed the backyard very much. We had a fire every night and my husband enjoyed fresh oysters that we bought locally before boarding the ferry. We visited the beach and the lighthouse with the ATV provided. I enjoyed reading on the screened in back porch. Our two dogs, Jinny and Ranger, loved the yards and chased many a squirrel and rabbit. We had a meal prepared and delivered by Cheron one night and it was delicious and very affordable. It was just a great 4 days. John and the whole gang at Emma’s are amazing to work with and they take pride in there homes and always take good care of their quests.

Amazing home
The home is beautiful! We saw so many deer and other animals out back during morning coffee. The walks on the empty miles of beaches were perfect. I don’t know if there is a better place to go to really get away from it all than this place. Thank you John for making it extra special with all the goodies and treats.

Beautiful retreat!
Such a lovely home nestled among the oak trees. The cabin is spacious with everything you need for cooking or grilling. We enjoyed the fire pit and the view out back. You can hear the ocean from the back porch. Sapelo is a special place. This home is the perfect destination for those who want to explore, yet also have the conveniences of home.

The Perfect Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chachalaca. The location is tucked away down a long lane where only the sounds of nature can be heard. Quite enough that you can hear the waves of the ocean in the distance. The house itself was beautiful and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the screened back porch where we ate our breakfasts. Thanks to John for arranging the use of the mule which made it easy to get around the island and out to the beach which we had pretty much to ourselves. Saw about a dozen people in the three days we were there. Looking forward to coming back with more of our family next time.

Great Property
The Chachalaca Retreat on Sapelo Island was the perfect getaway for a long weekend for our family. The island has a certain charm and was full of adventure for our 8yr old son and his friend. The cabin was fully equipped with everything needed, was clean and the property manager was more than helpful. We will definitely be back!!
