Response from VrboOwner on 13 April 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I’m so glad you, the girls and your pup enjoyed your stay. That large, fully enclosed front yard tends to be a favorite for our four-legged guests, it gives them a little freedom while keeping things safe and relaxed.
It means a lot to hear that the communication and comfort stood out. I really do try to think of all the little details so guests can settle in easily and feel at home from the moment they arrive.
Being just about 15 minutes to historic downtown Savannah and the Tybee beaches makes it easy to enjoy both the quiet of the island and everything the area has to offer.
You were wonderful guests, and you’re always welcome back anytime! Thank you! Shawn
About the host
Hosted by Shawn Black
I’m originally from Manhattan and trained at Parsons School of Design. I’m a working artist focused on landscape oils and organic botanicals, inspired by nature and quiet rhythms. Hosting here on Wilmington Island is personal, this peaceful homestead, shared with ducks and two dachshunds, offers a calm retreat just minutes from Savannah. My aim is simple: a warm, restorative stay where guests can truly exhale.
Why they chose this property
What I love most about Wilmington Island is the sense of calm. It’s peaceful, green, and grounded in nature, yet just minutes from the charm and culture of Savannah and the beautiful beaches of Tybee Island. It offers the rare balance of quiet retreat and easy access to everything that makes this area so special.
What makes this property unique
This property feels like a quiet retreat tucked into the trees. Secluded and peaceful, with beautiful natural light throughout, it has a relaxed, tree-house-like atmosphere that guests immediately notice. The large, bright kitchen is fully equipped, and the spacious enclosed front yard makes it ideal for pets and children. It’s a rare blend of nature, comfort, and calm, just minutes from Savannah and the coast.
