Midway, Georgia
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 St Catherines, 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.

Fishing off the dock at the rental
We truly enjoyed are stay here. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need to enjoy yourself. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook all of your meals. The best was enjoying a drink in the evening while sitting on the dock and watching the sunset. Elaine was awesome to work with on booking the cottage. This was our second time staying and it was even better this time.
This house was wonderful! Pictures do do it justice. So clean. Loved our stay!
Our stay at The Sunset Cottage was amazing. Both the inside and outside of the house were immaculate and well kept. The kitchen had everything we needed and the decor was beautiful. Our kids ages 14, 13, and 9 also loved it. When they were not on the dock fishing, the 2 separate TV/sitting rooms gave them their own space. The view from Elaines home and the breeze when on the dock were better than I could have imagined. We will definitely be back again!
We enjoyed our stay here the house is beautiful and the view is even better!! This house was very clean and my family and I are thinking to make this place our annual spot when we visit Midway.
Home is very spacious and nicely furnished. Loved being able to dock our boat on private dock in front of house. The best view of the river and super convenient to have marina within eyesight. Second time staying here and highly recommend.
Super clean, well maintained, everything you need for a family vacation. We loved our stay. Gorgeous furnishings and plenty of room for everyone.
The home was exactly as described on VRBO. Beautifully furnished with actually quality cookware. My 85 year old mother loved her Master bedroom, her daughters spoiled her for this mother's day fishing trip. We had no control on Mother Nature and the fishing biting but everything was superb.
Our family really enjoyed our stay. We went to Savannah several days and to St. Augustine. It was so nice to have this beautiful place to come back and relax. We hope to come back again.
This is a great spot. It’s right on a tidal river in a quiet setting. The house is well-equipped. The property manager was helpful and very responsive. We spent most of our time watching the tide come in and go out. There may have been some wine and beer involved….
House and grounds were perfect for our family during the week of Thanksgiving. Cleanest VRBO I've ever vacationed in! Layout of the house worked perfectly for our Family with the den being located at other end from bedrooms , worked out great for the Late nighters to not hinder the ones asleep. Spent most of our time on the covered porch and in the yard. Dockage was grreat for my boat all week. Could not have been more perfect! Communication was easy with owners and cant wait to return again.
This house is exactly as the pictures show. Kitchen was wel stocked. The layout was wonderful and the property was beautiful! Most amazing sunsets!
House is in a great location, checkin was easy and the stay was great
We have stayed at this home before a few years ago, and it was wonderful then, but now they have remodeled some of it and it’s even better!! It’s beautiful! Great location, great fishing, and beautiful sunsets! We saw many dolphins while we were there and caught shark, flounder, string rays and many more fish! It was great!! We will definitely be back again!
Had a great time fishing and relaxing on the deck. Caught plenty of fish. Only thing that really bothered me was the mosquitos. Make sure to bring some bug spray. Would definitely stay again. Had a blast.
House was great and very clean. The yard is Outstanding - Large shady back yard with fire pit, picnic table, covered deck, etc. And then the dock on the water - Nice deep water with lots of space to tie up 2+ boats. Water and lights near the dock too. We boated up and down the coast over 200 miles over 4 days.
My husband and I brought our boat and spent several days beachcombing and fishing. The house was beautiful and comfortable. It is plenty big enough for larger families. We saw dolphin every day and a cute otter family in the evenings off the dock. The people at the Half Moon Marina were super nice. Caution if you bring your boat - sand bars are hard to spot at low tide.. we found a few the hard way but the water was refreshing as we pushed the boat back into deeper water!
Beautifully decorated coastal-themed home with everything you need to be at home away from home. Located right on the river with perfect views from every room. Dolphins were EVERYWHERE the first night out on the boat and so close we could touch them! Perfect for tween girls! We'll definitely be back! Thank you so much!
Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Will definitely book again.
Easy peasy
We we're looking for a place on the coast without the commercialism of the typical coastal towns and cities. This place was perfect! The house was beautiful and very well maintained. The deepwater dock was perfect for our 22 foot Carolina Skiff and also provided a great spot to fish and just hang out. The neighborhood was very quiet further enhancing the relaxing atmosphere of beautiful tidewater views. All the people we met were friendly and didn't treat us like outsiders or tourists. It was honestly like we were a part of the neighborhood during our 1 week stay. The marina is located just down the street and the marina personnel provided valuable tips to make our fishing trip more enjoyable. I highly recommend this property for peace and quiet relaxation. 5 stars!!!
We enjoyed 4 days and nights at this beautiful location. The house and property were very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed kayaking both upstream and downstream from the property. This is a very peaceful and relaxing environment. Highly recommended. Property owner and manager were very helpful and responded quickly to questions posed.
What better place to be from the thunder storms, threat of tornado, a cold snap, and heavy wind gusts than here. Can’t control the weather and in this house you felt safe no matter what was going on outside. The view was gorgeous and the space was perfect for every member of the family from young to old. Host was most accommodating with requests and answered all questions quickly. Too cold and windy for fishing and crabbing at this time but our guided fishing tour was great! Overall the ONLY negative was figuring out the light switches.
