Savannah Whitemarsh Island Cottage on Private Riverfront Estate with Dock

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

We stayed at this property in October. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and maybe the cleanest property I have ever stayed at. Location was private, quiet but still not far from dining and shopping. Hosts were awesome! Will definitely stay here again!

My new home away from home!I didn’t want to leave! Peaceful and comfortable. Very private and quiet. The owners communicated every step of the way! Shower was great. Beautiful bed with excellent mattress. Slept solid. Great views from the dock. Wear your flip flops!! Early morning coffee on the dock makes me happy!Worth every penny!

A enjoyed our stay

We had an amazing stay and will definitely be back. Communication was terrific and very accommodating despite our late night arrival. The house and property were stunning. Location made it an easy go between for Savannah and Tybee beach.

I had a wonderful stay at Brian and Patsi’s place. The Boathouse was perfect for my stay during my business trip. It was very quiet around the property. The place was very clean and had all the amenities I needed. Brian was always very responsive if I had any questions. I will definitely stay again!! Thanks Brian and Patsi!!

Even better than advertised! This is a beautiful home with every accommodation you’d need for a relaxing stay. Jazz was playing on the big screen as we entered and all the lights were on to welcome us. The downstairs a/c unit kept us cool as it was in the 80’s outside. The 1/2 bath off the kitchen was perfectly placed. Special touches were everywhere.We ate every meal out (highly recommended a local favorite, The Flying Fish, for live music and great food!) but we could have cooked in the gourmet kitchen with a full gas range and frig, and anything needed to prep a special meal. Wine glasses, coffee maker, filtered water, a few snacks, sparking water, creamer, spices, and sugar were provided.The ensuite, with a very comfy king poster bed, luxurious linens, sitting area with tv, upstairs a/c and ceiling fan with a gorgeous bathroom, and second porch were beyond expectations.Unlike the last beautiful BNB we reviewed on Whitemarsh Island where you are right on a deep water dock, you will need to pack your own beach bag, towels, bug spray, and sunscreen before trekking around the lovely grounds, through the owners driveway and gorgeous long yard to reach the deck. We enjoyed sunset and sunrise everyday with gorgeous views, wildlife, and several pelicans diving for fish right in front of us.A relaxing, quiet, upscale place to stay for a long getaway or work trip. Stay more than one night to really enjoy!

We found the boathouse a perfect place to get away for a few days to relax and enjoy the Savannah area. We highly recommend the Bread and Butter restaurant, a short distance away. The owners of the Boathouse provided for all of our needs, and the place was very clean. Highly recommend!

the house was very clean very comfortable and relaxing just what we needed. The house was close to all we needed.Thanks Again for sharing you home with us.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the boathouse. The accommodations were very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Thank you for sharing your quality home with us!

House was beautiful, I felt very much WELCOMED. In a beautiful place, The Hosts where soo Nice and loving god bless them.

The Boathouse was beautiful and cozy with an amazing location for visiting Savannah and Tybee Island. We loved the bed and deck the most. Brian was easy and very welcoming. I Highly recommend.

Very nice cottage. Very comfortable bed. Grounds are really nice with big trees and lots of spanish moss. Very clean and comfortable.

Easy access to secluded, private, and quiet location with convenient options for food, groceries, and essential items. Very conducive for relaxation and disconnecting from the outside world.

Comfortable, clean and all around a great stay! Easily one of the best short term rentals we have used, hands down! Looking forward to our next stay with Brian and Patsi in Savannah!

The Boathouse was gorgeous, the whole place was cozy and clean and smelled lovely. A perfect hidden gem of a getaway for our first wedding anniversary!

The house was perfect for our 2 night stay. The hosts were extremely welcoming and made the house feel like home. Beautiful location. We will definitely be back.

Great property. Very clean and cozy. Lots of stuff to do

The bed was very firm but we absolutely loved our time at the boathouse!

We had such a wonderful weekend stay! The location was perfect—very walkable, and we easily covered about 3 miles each day. The dock was easy to find, and we even took a picnic down to enjoy the water (bonus: we saw dolphins playing!). Just a tip—watch for the tide coming back in; we ended up wading through about 4 inches of water to get back to the backyard, which honestly just added to the adventure.Inside, the home was super comfortable and thoughtfully set up. There were tons of outlets, which made charging everything a breeze, and I really appreciated all the hooks in the bathroom—such a simple touch that made unpacking and organizing so easy.If you’re interested in biking or kayaking, definitely ask about availability when you book so you can plan ahead. The hosts were excellent communicators and so helpful—we truly felt like we were staying at a friend’s home.During our trip, we did a ghost tour, caught an NFL game with other fans at the Savannah Taproom, and enjoyed dinner at AJ’s on Tybee, where the sunset views were incredible.An absolute joy of a weekend—we can’t wait to return!

Very picturesque little house. Plenty of space for a couple. Brian and Patsy made us feel at home.

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.

Very clean, quiet, comfortable and beautiful home; perfect for 2 people; convenient access to stores and town; safe and beautiful neighborhood

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!

Super quiet and nice stay. Well equipt and secluded.

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.

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.

Property was conveniently located. This was a perfect spot for us. We had a great time visiting family in Savannah. We used the dock every day.

Appreciate the area recommendations and communication!

My husband and I love this cozy and quiet place! If you are looking for somewhere private & quiet, but within close proximity, you will love it here

We really loved the boathouse. Very clean great location!

Communication is key and this property owner went above and beyond. Superior clean , no bugs. Furnishings to a notebook of instruction and places to go this unit was spot on the mark.

Brian and Patti were great hosts and made our stay so easy. The property is absolutely gorgeous, and the

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.

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!

Excellent house and hosts! Felt very welcomed and comfortable. The hosts are very quick to respond to any questions which was greatly appreciated. 10/10 stay!

First class accommodations on all fronts. Our hosts have done a great job.

I never get tired of the Boathouse. Always makes me happy the moment I step inside. My favorite!!! Decor and construction of this place is unbelievable. I’m always in awe of this place. Thanks Brian and Patsi for sharing it with others.

From the moment we entered the home to softly playing jazz music and cozy lighting, we felt pampered, cozy, and comfortable. Impeccably clean and tastefully decorated! This spot was perfectly located between Savannah and Tybee Island in order to enjoy both. We would love to stay again!

Beautiful and cozy home to stay in. Very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Property is very nice and convenient location. Enjoyed eating breakfast outside in the morning and listening to all of the birds singing.

Awesome accommodations, and owners. Perfect location for a quiet relaxing weekend.

Great location, super cute, very clean, only issue we had was we wanted to kayak however owner had put them away for the season. We were looking forward to kayaking the water ways, being from Minnesota we are very use to kayaking in cooler weather. Other than that we had a great time.cooler

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.

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!

Great

The Boathouse was the best find for our 5 day getaway. Peaceful and private setting, yet minutes from the hustle and bustle of old Savannah. The entire stay from booking to leaving was perfect. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

We absolutely fell in love with the Boathouse! One of the cleanest and most charming places we have stayed. Perfect location for those that like beautiful scenery outside the city but a short drive or uber into downtown. We will definitely be back!

Impeccably clean and beautiful! Hosts were immediate to reply to messages even before we arrrived! Great area right between historic district and tybee beach!! Would come back in a second!!!

Perfect getaway. Nothing missing.
