What a great location and a wonderful place to stay while visiting the Golden Isles. We went to St. Simon and Jekyll island every day; it was just a short drive to both. It was great to come back to a house with separate bedroom & bathrooms, full kitchen and living room to gather.

Such a Pleasant Surprise

Open Gates B&B is a lovely old home with a delightful owner that really works hard to make sure that all of your needs and wishes are met. Zack's breakfast was one of the best we have ever had. The quaint little town of Darien was also so nice to visit. Absolutely beautiful!
