Reynolds Mansion and Sapelo Island Information

"Nestled in the isolation of a barrier island rich with Gullah-Geechee culture and heritage and surrounded by centuries old moss draped live oaks, panoramic beaches, estuaries and marshes, the Reynolds Mansion on Sapelo Island is a 200-year-old estate developed during the heyday of the tycoon era on Georgia’s coast."

This small barrier island is a unique destination along Georgia's famed Colonial Coast. Guests begin their day at the mainland visitor center, where they can learn about Sapelo's cultural history, coastal wildlife, and complex beach and dunes systems. After a 30-minute ferry ride, they arrive at this 12-mile-long island. Guided tours highlight the African American community of Hog Hammock, Reynolds Mansion, Nanny Goat Beach, University of Georgia Marine Institute and a restored 1820 lighthouse. Learn more about the mansion.

Groups may stay overnight on the island at the historic Reynolds Mansion or Cabretta Campground. The unusual and lovely Reynolds Mansion features marble sculptures, an ornately decorated Circus Room, murals by Athos Menaboni, a bowling lane, billiards, library and more. Cabretta Campground is sheltered by live oaks and is just a short walk to the beach. Pets are not allowed but service animals are welcome.

It is a spectacular location but does require a 30-minute ferry ride or use of the park vessel. A residence is provided on the island, which is 3-bedroom/3.5 bath. Seeking an individual with parks experience but also hospitality including food and beverage experience. Supervision does include the small campground. It’s a great opportunity for a career-employee or an individual that has retired and seeking a second career. Sapelo is truly one of the most beautiful barrier islands.
