Enjoy exploring coastal GA from this direct waterfront cottage with a deep water private dock located at Colonels Island GA only 35 minutes south of historic downtown Savannah. Bring your boat and dock it at the private deep water dock that is within eye shot distance of Half Moon Marina for boat lift, bait and gas. Wake up to spectacular views of the North Newport River which offers a gateway to good fishing and beachcombing on the pristine undisturbed beaches off the barrier islands of StCatherines, Ossabaw, and Blackbeard. Centrally located Midway between Savannah and Brunswick GA, this cottage is about a 50 minute drive by car to the beach at Tybee Island to the north or drive 50 minutes south to the beaches of Jekyll Island or St Simons Island.

Sunset Cottage sits on a large lot on the bluff centered on the crescent of the Half Moon River (aka North Newport River) with panoramic views of the water. Sit on the back deck and enjoy watching the porpoises cruise by and the colorful sunsets over the river.

Very nicely appointed with nautical décor, freshly painted and new floors, this spacious cottage accommodates up to 8 guests with 3 bedrooms with a king in the primary, a queen and a twin bed in Bedroom #2, and a queen and a twin in Bedroom #3. The primary and guest bath has been completely remodeled. The major advantages of this property are the amazing panoramic views of the river, the private deep water dock and 3 full bathrooms (yeah - no waiting around on others!). Hang out with your family/friends in the spacious living room with plenty of seating and watch movies on the new 65 inch TV. Or enjoy some quiet time with a book and a cup of coffee in the separate lounging room. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking at home with a refrigerator, cook top, dishwasher and DOUBLE oven. Or grill out on the new propane gas grill on the deck. Don't feel like cooking No worries - head on over to the Sunbury Crab Company about 10 min away for awesome direct waterfront casual dining with fresh local seafood and steaks, as well as casual baskets.

    The pictures of this property are stunning - but does not do justice to the beauty of not only the location but the house itself. The house is positioned with a perfect view of the river, showcasing beautiful sunsets, eagles, squirrels and with dolphins seen on the daily. Elaine was the perfect hostess! 10/10 could not have asked for better. Definitely will return.

    My wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and wanted something special to celebrate the occasion. Neither of us had been to Savanah or the surrounding area, so we thought it might be a nice time of year to visit. We wanted to experience Savanah, but preferred to stay at a quieter location with wildlife. We couldn’t have chosen a better place than what was available at Sunset Cottage. The hosts have done a fantastic job in renovating their home and making it a wonderful experience. Situated between Savanah and Jekyll Island, it was the perfect spot for day trips in any direction. We couldn’t have asked for nicer accommodations, or hosts! We saw dolphins nearly every day right from the property along with a wide variety of birds. My wife even saw a bald eagle flying by. We would highly recommend this house, if you are searching for a property in the area!

    Such a precious house with great view of the water. The magnificent moss oaks were stunning. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this property. If we’re ever in the area again, we’d definitely consider this home again.

    Once we walked inside we all were excited. The cleanliness of the home and the decor was great. Just made us feel relaxed during the stay. The views are wonderful. We made trips to Jekyll Island and Tybee Island along with Savannah shopping since they are not far away. Communication with the owner was great. Made for a great week.

    Beautifully decorated and very spacious home on Colonel's Island was perfect for my family! Stunning views out the large windows. The good people at the Halfmoon Marina were very friendly. Great communication with hosts who provided detailed information of surrounding area. With a short 40 minute drive to Savannah, it was perfect location for us. Recommend!
