Lovely boathouse!

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights while vacationing in Savannah. It is a lovely house, very clean, neat and organized. My husband really loved the stereo and sound system. :) Google maps will not get you there so we are thankful for the hosts clear instructions on how to find the place. Great place to get away outside the city, but still very close to Savannah and the surrounding areas including Tybee. Highly recommend staying here. Perfect for a getaway for 2.
Beautiful bedroom! It was spacious, comfortable and cozy.

Peaceful and Relaxing

Had a relaxing weekend at this beautiful boathouse. Bed was comfortable. Place was beautiful and super clean. House is hidden away in lush landscape offering a great secluded and private feeling. It's close to many restaurants and stores so you don't have to go into the bigger city area if you don't want to. My only disappointment was that I expected to have a view of the water from the balcony. The listing did not say that so that was my fault. Private dock is only a short walk from the boathouse. Loved it. Will likely return!

Clean, private, and conveniently located property

By far, this is the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed at. The owner is a great communicator and helped us get our trailer we were towing stowed away so we could enjoy our time in Savannah. While the photos of the boathouse are nice, they do not do justice to just how beautiful the place really is. You just have to stand in it, believe me. The kitchen is very well-appointed and we had 3 meals in during our two night stay. We drove only 13 minutes to get to the Savannah visitor's center parking and maybe 20 to Tybee. Both nights of sleep were great in this quiet location. The best part of all however, were our visits with the resident cat, Jasper! If just the two of us next visit, we will not think twice and will be booking here again if we're lucky enough for it to be available.

Outstanding stay at the Boathouse

From the moment we walked in the door until our final day, everything at the Boathouse was perfect. The furnishings were beautiful, the bed was so comfortable, the bathroom was amazing, and the kitchen was better well equipped than mine. We spent most evenings on the dock which the owners graciously allow their guests to use. Speaking of the owners, Brian and Patsie were so nice and quickly got back to us when we had a question. We were so glad we found this adorable Boathouse and hope to stay here again in the future!
