Vacation Rental Description

Serenity Place is my home on the Julienton River near Shellman 
Bluff, Ga. The guesthouse is across the courtyard from my home. The 
brick cottage (700 sq.ft.)is nestled under 300 year old live oak 
trees dripping with Spanish moss. You enter through a private 
courtyard (432sq.ft.) surronded by outdoor seating, gardens, plants 
and fountains. 

Here in the private community of Pleasure Bluff, you can take a step 
back in time and visit the quaint fishing village of Shellman Bluff 
and the unspoiled barrier islands.  The Pleasure Bluff community was 
started in the 1920's by families who loved to come to the salt 
water rivers on the coast of Georgia to catch fish and shrimp and to 
gather oysters. Today the quaint and eclectic cottages, cabins, and 
mobile homes are rarely sold and usually pass down to members of the 
family who continue to use them. There are only four owners that 
live here full time. The other owners use their places 
infrequently.  The dirt and gravel roads are private and peace and 
serenity abound. This is a perfect place for a break from noise, 
traffic, and crowds. 

Julienton River is a salt water river within 10 minutes of the 
Intercoastal Waterway at Sapelo Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. This 
area is a very special paradise not yet discovered by the masses. 
Peace and serenity abound. 

The Serenity Place Dock is on Julienton River 100 feet from the 
guest house. The upper covered deck area has hammocks,lounge 
chairs, ceiling fans, rocking chairs, dining table and chairs, and 
sinks. The 55 foot floating dock has 17 feet of water at low tide.  
You can dock a boat or yacht up to 70 feet long. Water and power 
hook ups are available.

THE SERENITY GUEST HOUSE AT PLEASURE BLUFF

Spend peaceful time in the guest house and courtyard or walk 100 
feet to the riverfront gardens.  You can sit on the dock with views 
to the Southeast of Sapelo Sound, Julienton, Boro, and Sapelo 
Rivers. Settle into the wicker chairs on the dock and enjoy your 
evening cocktail time or your fresh brewed morning coffee.

At sunrise and sunset, the water changes shades as it is infused 
with all the colors of the rainbow. The dock and the gardens offer 
you a panoramic view of Julienton River that changes with the time 
and the tides. You watch as the sun strikes gold on the marsh grass 
that stretches across the river to Harris Neck Island and reaches as 
far North and South as you can see.  Day and night the sky is 
mirrored in the river and art is created in front of your eyes. The 
view constantly changes as the tides come and go and leave the clean 
white sand beach looking as if it has never been stepped on by man.

This Georgia barrier island area is described repeatedly by authors 
like Eugenia Price.  From the Serenity Place Dock, across Julienton 
River and Sapelo Sound you can see the outlines of Sapelo, 
Blackbeard, St. Catherine’s, and Creighton Islands.  In the distance 
you can see the yachts and sailing ships as they move up and down 
the Intracoastal Waterway  (ICW).  The shrimp boats with nets raised 
high as they return to supply the local restaurants with the best 
seafood in the world from local waters.  Still today,  these 
protected islands  have been preserved and kept much the same as 
they were many years ago when Blackbeard sailed his ship here and 
used the islands for a base for his pirated  treasure trove.  Later 
there were days of elegant homes and plantations here. 

As you enjoy your evening cocktails on the dock while relaxing in 
the Pawley’s Island Hammocks, you can be soothed by the Bose sound 
system as it surrounds you with the music genre or artist of your 
choice.  The sky is full of sea and land birds as they finish 
feeding and return to their nests and roosts.  Wood stork, egrets, 
herons, sea hawks, pelican, sea gulls and many land birds.   You are 
lucky if you get to watch as bald eagles feed in the river and rare 
and endangered woodpeckers retrieve their dinner from the bark of 
the 100 feet tall virgin pine trees.

For the bird lovers, varying with the season there are always an 
abundant supply and variety of land and sea birds.  As for the 
dolphin lovers, you can watch as they come and go with the tides and 
feed along the marsh banks and over the sand bar across the river.  
Dolphin watch goes on day and night.  Star gazing is great due to 
the limited competing light.

Here on Julienton and Sapelo Rivers we are steeped in the history of 
days gone by. Today the peace and quiet surround you as you listen 
to the sounds of nature mixed with wind chimes as the breeze blows.

This is a Serenity Coastal Vacation Rentals property 
and gets the Serenity Seal of Approval.
