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!

A magical Boathouse at the marsh

Brian and Patsi have an absolute treasure on their beautiful estate property overlooking the marsh. From the initial communication, they were very detailed and friendly.Upon arrival, we immediately knew we'd chosen a gem of a private getaway to wrap up our much needed week long vacation.The boathouse was so charming and inviting as soon we opened the front door. The soft music and warm ambient lighting throughout the house was a beautiful touch. Everything that we could possibly need was there! The upstairs didn't disappoint with a extremely comfortable king sized bed and oversized shower. Let's not forget the upstairs deck that overlooks the numerous water oaks on the lush property with Spanish moss. Everything was clean The craftsmanship of the boathouse is spectacular and the lovely plantings surrounding the property are abundant.Their private dock overlooking the serene marshes at Oakland Island was very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Brian and Patsi and getting to know a little bit about their beautiful property. They left us alone while we were there and didn't make us feel like we were intruding being there. They made us feel very welcome and wanted us to relax and enjoy our stay. We also loved meeting Jasper (the outdoor black tuxedo cat), who greeted us and even sent us off for our early departure.We can't wait to come back... And spend a little more time here! This perfect location between downtown Savannah and Tybee Island shouldn't be overlooked.

Boat House

This property is so beautiful. The boat house is super cute and the decor was very well done. Brian and Patsi have thought of everything that you may need to have a very relaxing trip. It is just a short stroll down to the dock where there are 2 kayaks and beautiful views. Would recommend this to all that are looking for a relaxing getaway.

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!
