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.

We are so glad you enjoyed you stay. You were perfect guests and welcome back anytime.
Enjoyed our stay immensely! Able to spend time with everyone as a family, but also allowed for us to have time for separate/individual activities due to outdoor space and additional living room. Dock was great for fishing, relaxing, watching dolphins and birds. Beautiful sunsets! House is clean and spacious.

Thanks for the great review. We hope to see you for a third time. 😁
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!

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.

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!

So glad you came back to visit us. We will be doing more renovations early next year so please come 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.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay, and the fish were biting.
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.
