Perfect Weekend On The Marsh
We had the best time here! The owners are so kind and very friendly. Our daughter and dog loved the dock. The views are great, neighborhood is safe, and the house is so beautiful. Loved reading all the guests comments in the guest book on things to do in the area. Highly recommend this VRBO and we will hopefully return soon! Thank you

Perfect Coastal Georgia Getaway - with a Dock!
We stayed here for a week and it was absolutely perfect. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and really well-appointed — exactly what you want when you’re looking to relax without any hassle. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, and the outdoor gas grill worked great.The location couldn’t have been better — peaceful and tucked away, but still a quick and easy drive to both Tybee Island and Savannah. You really get the best of both worlds: beach days, city exploring, and quiet evenings on the water.The dock was a major highlight. It was perfect for my little Gheenoe, but could easily handle a bigger bay boat or center console too. We loved taking evening wine cruises up and down the creek — it was the best way to wind down after a day out.Bill and Emma (and their dog Shotgun) were fantastic hosts. Sometimes having a host next door can be tricky, but they were absolutely wonderful — super friendly, offered to have a beer with us, but also totally respected our privacy. Our dog Cooper and Shotgun became best friends right away, running and playing through the yards. Real Southern hospitality at its best.If you’re looking for a relaxed, comfortable spot with great access to both Tybee and Savannah — and especially if you want to get out on the water — this is the place. We’d definitely stay here again.

Whitemarsh Island getaway
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bill and Emma’s (and their dog Shotgun’s) house on the river on Whitemarsh Island, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views of the river that create a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The house itself is beautifully designed, blending modern comforts with a cozy, old southern, inviting feel. The spacious layout made it perfect for relaxing and entertaining, and the pier and dock was a highlight, allowing us to enjoy fishing while soaking in the natural beauty around us. Bill and Emma were fantastic hosts, providing thoughtful touches and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, I highly recommend Bill and Emma’s house for anyone looking to escape to a tranquil retreat by the water. It’s the perfect getaway for families or friends looking to unwind and create lasting memories. I can't wait to return!

Charming Savannah Retreat with Everything You Need!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely rental perfectly situated between downtown Savannah and Tybee Island. The location is ideal for exploring both the city and the coast, making it the best of both worlds.The house itself is full of charm, with beautiful furniture and decor that made it feel like home the moment I walked in. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen was well-appointed with everything I needed to cook.One of my favorite features was the long dock walkway—an absolute dream for fishing enthusiasts. I spent hours fishing for redfish and speckled sea trout, which was such a treat. The riverview room was another highlight, offering a serene space perfect for reading, writing, or creating art.The property is also dog-friendly, with plenty of space for my pups to run around. While it’s not fully fenced, the open area and dog-friendly neighbors made it perfect for our stay.The hosts, Bill and Emma, were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always available if I needed anything. Their hospitality truly made the experience even more special.I can’t recommend this rental enough and am already looking forward to my next stay! If you’re looking for a relaxing, well-equipped retreat in the Savannah area, this is the place to be!

Cute house along the water
This house was perfect for our family of 5 and our two dogs, plus an extra guest for a night. Great location between downtown Savannah and Tybee Island so we could enjoy both almost everyday. There is a dock on the property and a boat ramp not too far away so my husband and son could spend every morning (and some afternoons or evenings) on the water. The owners live next door, greeted us when we arrived and were always available to help with whatever we needed. It was a great week!

A great spot - bring your boat.
We fully enjoyed our stay at Bill and Emma's house. The home itself is very comfortable - plenty of room for folks to spread out. Lots of outdoor space as well. Convenient location to just about anything you need.
We primarliy picked this rental for the water access. What a great location. Richardson creek is very quiet - very little boat traffic..but with easy to access larger waterways. Boat ramp was less than 3 miles away..and Bill offered to help us get our boat int he water - which was much appreciated. We navigated to downtown Savannah - there is public dock with 3 free hours of docking...we easily navigated down to little tybee island and enjoyed the expansive low tide there - and many other spots.
A really great spot for Boaters.. Bill and Emma are very nice and hospitable people. We fully enjoyed our time and hope to return.

Great getaway!
My family and I stayed here for the week. It’s a great cottage with plenty of rooms and a nice open kitchen, big fridge, Viking gas stove…..super nice for those who cook!
Bill the owner met us when we arrived with his wife Emma and their black lab “Shotgun”. They gave us our key and showed us around the house. Super friendly people and very genuine.
The yard is big and the place is very secluded……we didn’t see or hear anyone else the whole week. Bill checked in on us now and then and was ready to help with any issues…..we had none.
If you have a boat, the dock is super nice and a great size for probably up to a 20’ boat.
Gas grill works good and there is a fire pit with wood.
The beds were comfortable and showers/bathrooms worked great!
Old Town Savannah is about 15 minutes away with any store/food you can think of available.
Overall, this was a great, quiet, trouble free getaway that we will definitely come back too!
