This is the second year in a row that we have stayed at this cottage! Beautiful and peaceful just what we needed! Year#3 next September!

Wow! This was one of our most unique rental experiences ever. The name, Devil's Elbow Cottage, caught our attention when reviewing the property online. Our arrival did not disappoint. A narrow land bridge just wide enough for a vehicle connects the island to mainland. A carriage drive winds through woodland and pasture leading to your arrival. Deer, crabs, innumerable birds and even an armadillo abound on the island. A slice of heaven that has been loved and protected by the family for almost a century. A short, easy drive into Bluffton and miles of bike trails are icing on the cake for this property. Can't wait for our next visit here.

My family and I had a fantastic time at this beautiful property, and we will remember our time here.

This was my second stay at this fabulous property. This is a peaceful gem. What a treat to sit on the lovely porch and watch the wildlife and the marsh. Wonderful and comfortable cottage that has lovely views of the marsh. The beautiful property is just as advertised and the owners are very present to answer any questions that arise. Can't wait until the next time I return!

Secluded, gorgeous, peaceful with amazing scenery. Feels remote but is a short drive to main gate. Such a lovely place! Super clean and comfortable! Will be back

Great place to relax and do nothing, which is what we wanted. Place is clean and well maintained. Never did find the dock so if you’re interested in that then ask owner for directions. He is very responsive as he took care of a broken coffee pot right away.

I need to apologize for the late review of this wonderful cottage. My wife and I stayed the 9-12 June as a weekend get away for our anniversary. As others have mentioned, the photos cannot describe the beauty of the “Devil’s Elbow Cottage”. I am a very early riser and being able to sit in a comfy chair on that screened in back porch with a cup of coffee is about as good as it gets. The cottage itself has everything you need right down to Dove soap in the shower. Other then the occasionally airplane over head it is extra quiet yet close to everything. I might add the couch is perfect for napping (ask me how I know). We truly appreciate the Cram family allowing us the opportunity to share a little part of their world. Rich and Amanda

We had a fantastic stay at Peter's cottage. Beautiful location, quiet, secluded, and comfortable. It is away from everything and at the same time convenient to shopping, restaurants, and more. Would love to come back

The cottage was even better than we expected. It looked amazing online but photos can’t really do justice to the unique location of the property nestled in the marshes and how breathtaking it is. Even though you are ten minutes from all the amenities you could want and the lovely town of Blufton, you feel as though you’ve landed in another world far away from the bustle of everyday life. It literally took our breath away and we’d just shake our head in disbelief as we drove down the winding driveway. We saw an eagle, deer and even an alligator and I could watch the Spanish moss swaying on the old oak trees surrounding the cottage from the screened porch for hours. It was just magical and we can’t say enough nice things about how wonderful this place was.

Wonderful place to hideaway in a world of your own! So peaceful and beautiful, loved seeing all the wildlife even saw a little gator ! The host was extremely nice and answered any questions we had without hesitation.I would love to return!!!!

The cottage was perfect for our family of four. Spectacular views of the marsh, access to fishing and plenty of opportunities for walking, biking and exploring the surrounding property. The cottage had everything we needed and the screened in porch was amazing. Peter provided lots of great information about the surrounding area. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I stayed over on a long weekend to celebrate our 30th anniversary. The properties beauty was surpassed only by its remoteness. 10 min from the bustle of outlet malls we were surrounded by the peace and quite of the SC marsh. Our only neighbors being the deer and birds of the south. We enjoyed the solitude and caught several nice redfish and trout off the dock.

I can see why this cottage receives 5 star ratings! Amazing! We will be back next year!

Such a beautiful property. Immaculately clean. We really enjoyed the porch and the beautiful views out every window. Close to the beaches and great restaurants.

A beautiful cottage that is extremely peaceful. We will be back!

What a beautiful, peaceful and perfect property! We enjoyed nature on this little slice of Heaven, had fun fishing and just listening to all of sounds. The cottage was perfect, and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely return and highly recommend!

This is a beautiful property in all aspects. The cottage is lovely and I could sit on that lovely screen porch for hours! The surrounding grounds and marsh are truly wonderful. The owner was easily accessible and available. I can't wait to find a time to return to this peaceful slice of heaven.

We had a wonderful few days staying at this property. We were enthralled from the moment we crossed onto the little island. The cottage exceeded our already high expectations- it was even more charming than the pictures on line would suggest. It is equipped with everything one would need including beach chairs and umbrella, high end linens, a well stocked kitchen with necessary skillets and cookware - we did cook several meals, and a washer/dryer. Our favorite spot was on the screened porch where we observed the sights and sounds of nature. Off the beaten path but so close to the fun of Hilton Head golf, beach and restaurants. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway.

This property is breathtaking. To have such a secluded location in such a busy area is incredible. The island and cottage are very well kept. Would not hesitate booking again.

From the second we arrived, we were entranced. This place is indeed timeless, soulful and peaceful. The cottage is lovely, comfortable and perfectly perched on the island. The views of the ever-changing salt marsh and abundant wildlife were spectacular! To be there on Earth day was just icing on the cake as this place is one of the finest places I've ever seen to observe the Earth "living " and in balance. Peter was very accessible and helpful. Highly recommend this place and definitely want to go back!

Cottage and entire property was fantastic. Views were fantastic. Perfect weekend!

Oh my..where to start?! The epic screen porch, the views, the sounds of the birds, the complete silence. It was just the relaxing trip I needed! The bed was so comfortable, the shower hot, the kitchen well stocked. I loved how remote it felt but not too far from all the conveniences on the main road. I felt so lucky to be staying there..I truly hope I’m lucky enough to go back! Thank you so much for the great stay!

The cottage, surroundings, marsh and Bluffton/Hilton Head area offers limitless fun and pleasure. If you like the low country…..this is your destination.
