The location was perfect for visiting Savannah. It is well kept and the decor and theme made for an enjoyable stay. It was very private and felt like a home away from home. We met Brian and he showed us the dock and made us feel like family. This spot is a hidden gem and a great spot to celebrate an anniversary. We loved our stay! Thank you Brian and Patsy!

Relaxing retreat in a beautiful setting! We didn’t do a lot of cooking (too many fun eateries to try) but always made breakfast (wonderful supply of spices available:). Bedroom suite so charming with a balcony deck to listen to the birds in the morning and enjoy a coffee. So many beautiful decorations added to the charm

Brian and Patsi have created the perfect place to stay, nice and comfortable, with attention to detail. The Boathouse is just an awesome place to kick back and relax. Everything seemed to be well thought out and the decorative touches were beautiful. The location is perfect as well - just a short drive to Savannah and Tybee Island. We would definitely stay there again.

Dreamy location! Peaceful retreat along the inner coastal, sitting on the back dock we saw beautiful wildlife, even a dolphin! Downtown is a short drive away for night life or for beach vibes head to Tybee Island. Gracious and easy to communicate with hosts. This was our 2nd trip to the Boathouse, highly recommend it!
