Our stay was wonderful. Tod was super attentive to our questions, he met us at the ferry dock to make sure we got on the ferry and answered any additional questions we had. The Tidal Flat is a beautiful home in the midst of the wonderfully preserved nature of Sapelo (which we hope and pray it remains preserved). We can't wait to return with my husband and maybe a few others so we can all enjoy The Tidal Flat and Sapelo!

The house was very clean and nice. It was completely stocked for our stay. The kitchen had pots and pans for us to cook with and they had soaps and shampoos incase you forget yours. Also, they have a vehicle that they let you use to get around the island.

We have stayed in this home for several times. It is always clean and stocked with supplies. The owner always reaches out before and finds out who will be coming so he can get the names and put us on the ferry list. Vary accommodating.
