Birds of a feather
Speaking of birds, coastal Georgia has lots! Near our house we have spied ospreys in their nests, pelicans in formation just above the waves, seagulls swooping over the sparkling Sound, and (my favorite) the little piping plovers scurrying along the beach at low tide. Over 300 species of birds inhabit coastal Georgia's shorelines, salt marshes, old rice fields, woodlands, tidal rivers, and freshwater wetlands. In the winter months we love to watch the migratory birds and waterfowl vacationing on our coast. For more info on coastal birds, go to www.georgiawildlife.com.
Update for Traditions
I hate change ...... which explains why we own an historic house and we vacation in the same places. Of course, that, as Tevya would say, "is tradition!" For many of you, our home has become a welcome tradition for your family, friends, and business associates. Yet updates are really good changes. At the Strachan Carriage House we replaced the finicky old hot tub with a new very large one; we swapped out the old patio cushions and pillows for brighter thicker ones; we replaced the worn out rose bushes with fresh herbs, and yesterday we replaced the three vintage ceiling fans on the second floor veranda with three new vintage ones. So our traditions can continue comfortably even with a few updates.
Visitor's Favorites
Reading over our guestbook, we see that your Golden Isles favorites include -- crab cakes at Barbara Jean's; shrimping and sightseeing on the Lady Jane; riding bikes on the new SSI bike trails; climbing to the top of the lighthouse; catching sharks on the pier; visiting sea turtles at their hospital on Jekyll Island, shopping in the village, and the Ghost Tours. Just as many of you felt that being lazy by the pool was their favorite activity and that our home was "the perfect place to be lazy in." Let us help you indulge your favorites again in 2012 by booking today.
