GIRLFRIENDS GETAWAYS - girls gone wild on the Private Islands of Georgia - by Loretta Lynn Leda ~
Be green and be a survivor at the Private Islands of Georgia. Eagle Lodge is a luxe accommodation secluded in the middle of Georgia barrier islands. Your only neighbor is the resident Eagle, about 100’ up in a tree, who soars around the islands, warding off any harm. Relish the exclusive privacy of Eagle Island and reconnect with friends while kayaking, fishing, sitting on a swing, making a bonfire or, just doing nothing. Eagle Island is a 5-moon resort with NO agenda, No daytime, NO clocks, No outsiders and Yes, just fun!
No lipstick, high heels or pantyhose are required for this trip. Pack a swimsuit, pair of tennis shoes, binoculars and maybe a bottle of wine or two, as you leave your real life responsibilities behind for a few days. Recently, 12 women from the Sunbury Yacht & Pleasure Club (Atlanta,
GA area), escaped to the Private Islands of Georgia in March, and here’s a few of their favorite things:
*Spending time with friends- old and new
*Dancing on the dock
*Feeling unplugged and relaxed
*Sleeping on the swinging porch bed
*Drinking morning coffee watching the sunrise
*Tandem kayaking in circles
*Declaring Eagle Island a very sexy place to return with the men in their lives!
“Eagle Island brings out the best in everyone and touches places inside you that you have forgotten exist. You can leave your stress, worries and inhibitions at the dock in Darien and relax into the adventure,” said the women from The Sunbury Yacht & Pleasure Club.
Captain Andy Hill, owner of Eagle Island, understands what it’s like to unwind. he has created a perfect setting for friends to settle into “island time” while having unique luxuries around them
from state of the art outdoor kitchen complete with oyster steamer an BBQ grill to a hot tub in front of a brick fireplace for chilly evenings. Add down comforted beds and all supplies needed to bait hooks and crab traps -- hammocks and porch swings galore-plus Hill’s own brand of mainland guest services that could include a gourmet “Low Country Boil”.
It’s easy to fall under the spell of Eagle Island, admitting that “island time” is now your time and everything else can wait. It could be a perfect day to sit and watch the stately moss-draped oaks, a scurrying raccoon drenched from swimming across from a neighboring island and the tidal creek opening its’ welcoming arms toward the Atlantic Ocean.
Eagle Island, one of Captain Andy’s Private Islands of Georgia, is more breathtaking than these pictures can tell. You have to see and feel it for yourself. You will be enthralled. This is a great place for girlfriends or guy getaways, romantic for couples, family reunions, a small reception even a board retreat!
Capt’n Andy even has another beautiful island nearby with equally stunning views, marvelous hand-crafted visions of work by him and a few trusted hands, that are unparalleled. The Private Islands of Georgia are only a few hours drive from anywhere in the south (from Orlando area it’s only about 4 hours, if that!). Visit them at: www.PrivateIslandsofGeorgia.com
