About this property
Dockside Retreat Aboard Savannah Rae
Welcome aboard Savannah Rae, docked inside the 5th Street Marina’s gated community in Downtown Augusta. This refined riverfront retreat sits directly on the Savannah River, offering stunning sunrise and sunset views from the interior living space, either of the two private patios, and rooftop deck. The open layout features a full kitchen, inviting living area, and a queen suite with direct outdoor access. Less than 5 miles from Augusta National and located on the IRONMAN swim course.
Outdoor Living • Front, rear, and rooftop patios • Seating for four on each level • Direct riverfront views
Important: Trains cross the railroad bridge which is directly out front of the boat, at all hours. A nighttime crossing (10pm–8am) is very likely and may wake you. Many guests say the rumble and horn are a highlight of their stay.
Living & Dining • 55” 4K UHD Smart TV with Roku • Futon sofa and leather chair • High-top dining table for four • Dedicated WiFi
Kitchen & Wet Bar • Refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave • Countertop convection oven & two-burner cooktop • Cookware, dinnerware & silverware • Keurig with Starbucks K-Cups, sugar & creamers • Electric kettle & French press • Propane oven disconnected for safety
Bedroom – Queen Suite • Queen bed • 40” Smart TV with Roku • Sliding glass door to rear patio • Bath robes • Iron & ironing board
Bathroom • High-end marine toilet with electronic controls • Full-size walk-in shower • Vanity • Stocked with shower essentials
Laundry • Full-size washer & dryer • Bring your own detergent
Climate • Mini-split heating & A/C • Separate remote-controlled wall units in living room and bedroom
Parking Complimentary parking is available in the main 5th Street Marina lot during your stay. Detailed access instructions, including gated entry information, will be provided on the day of check-in.
Access Guests have full access to the entire interior and exterior of the houseboat, including all patios and rooftop deck.
Glamping Savannah Rae is best described as elevated glamping. The only real difference between a camper and a houseboat is what’s beneath you—here, it’s the Savannah River. You’ll enjoy modern comforts in a unique dockside setting.
The Savannah River The river is home to a wide variety of wildlife. The exterior perimeter of the boat is treated prior to check-in to reduce the likelihood of insects entering. Keeping doors and windows closed will help maintain a comfortable interior environment.
Swimming is strongly discouraged. Jumping from the rooftop deck into the river is strictly prohibited.
Water visibility is limited, and natural debris and wildlife may be present both above and below the surface. Entering the river is done at your own risk.
Fishing Fishing is permitted from the boat only—not from the dock. A Georgia fishing license is required and can be obtained through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources website.
Live bait and supplies are available at nearby retailers (Walmart is less than 10 minutes away). Early visits typically provide the best bait selection.
Marine Toilet The onboard marine toilet operates similarly to a residential toilet but uses electronic controls rather than a flush handle.
Only marine-grade toilet paper (provided) and waste may be flushed. No wipes, paper towels, feminine products, or foreign objects.
Guests are financially responsible for repairs resulting from improper use. Marine plumbing repairs can range from $500–$3,000.
Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources enforces strict regulations regarding waste discharge into the river.
House Rules • No pets permitted. • All guests must be 13 years of age or older. • Only registered guests may stay overnight. • If daytime visitors will be aboard, please notify me in advance.
Ice Complimentary ice is available in the marina gift shop during normal business hours for the duration of your stay.
