We had an amazing stay with William and Emma and their dog Shotgun. The house is beautiful and well kept and is convenient for Savannah. We tried to fish but it was too cold but we did see some Dolphins! Overall I would definitely recommend.

Mr Bill was an excellent host! Always available by phone and very accommodating! Will definitely be staying again! Great fishing from the dock and was able to bring my 24' boat for docking. Richardson Creek is large and deep enough to access from the major waterways in the area, also loaded with reds and trout if you fish from the property's dock.

Perfect Weekend On The Marsh

We had the best time here! The owners are so kind and very friendly. Our daughter and dog loved the dock. The views are great, neighborhood is safe, and the house is so beautiful. Loved reading all the guests comments in the guest book on things to do in the area. Highly recommend this VRBO and we will hopefully return soon! Thank you

The house was outstanding! Bill and Emma are great hosts. We unfortunately had a family issue and had to cut our trip short, but we will be back with the boat. The location is perfect, it is so peaceful and the house has plenty of space for all of us. Spending time on the dock is a very peaceful place to watch the sunrise and sunset.

Couldn’t Have Been More Perfect

I rented the house so my husband could have a night away from all of his work as a pastor and spend some time with his fraternity brothers. It was absolutely perfect. The property, the view, the landscaping was all beautiful (he sent me pictures). He’s now trying to decide when he wants to go back!

Adams family vacation

The owners Bill, Emma, and shotgun was very nice. Since we was right next door wish we would of chatted a bit more. Saw the dolphins go by each morning. Saw a leg less lizard in drive way. So much wild life. My husband fished off the dock and got a few fish. The property was close to everything. We didnt stay at property much as we did boat tours, going out to eat, and site seeing in our short stay.Thanks for having us.

Cute house along the water

This house was perfect for our family of 5 and our two dogs, plus an extra guest for a night. Great location between downtown Savannah and Tybee Island so we could enjoy both almost everyday. There is a dock on the property and a boat ramp not too far away so my husband and son could spend every morning (and some afternoons or evenings) on the water. The owners live next door, greeted us when we arrived and were always available to help with whatever we needed. It was a great week!

Lovely appointed home. Owners (in neighboring property) were very nice and accommodating. Owner doesn't text and has older phone, so communication was delayed at the beginning. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend in future.

Whitemarsh Island getaway

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Bill and Emma’s (and their dog Shotgun’s) house on the river on Whitemarsh Island, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views of the river that create a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The house itself is beautifully designed, blending modern comforts with a cozy, old southern, inviting feel. The spacious layout made it perfect for relaxing and entertaining, and the pier and dock was a highlight, allowing us to enjoy fishing while soaking in the natural beauty around us. Bill and Emma were fantastic hosts, providing thoughtful touches and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Overall, I highly recommend Bill and Emma’s house for anyone looking to escape to a tranquil retreat by the water. It’s the perfect getaway for families or friends looking to unwind and create lasting memories. I can't wait to return!

A great spot - bring your boat.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Bill and Emma's house. The home itself is very comfortable - plenty of room for folks to spread out. Lots of outdoor space as well. Convenient location to just about anything you need. We primarliy picked this rental for the water access. What a great location. Richardson creek is very quiet - very little boat traffic..but with easy to access larger waterways. Boat ramp was less than 3 miles away..and Bill offered to help us get our boat int he water - which was much appreciated. We navigated to downtown Savannah - there is public dock with 3 free hours of docking...we easily navigated down to little tybee island and enjoyed the expansive low tide there - and many other spots. A really great spot for Boaters.. Bill and Emma are very nice and hospitable people. We fully enjoyed our time and hope to return.

Great getaway!

My family and I stayed here for the week. It’s a great cottage with plenty of rooms and a nice open kitchen, big fridge, Viking gas stove…..super nice for those who cook! Bill the owner met us when we arrived with his wife Emma and their black lab “Shotgun”. They gave us our key and showed us around the house. Super friendly people and very genuine. The yard is big and the place is very secluded……we didn’t see or hear anyone else the whole week. Bill checked in on us now and then and was ready to help with any issues…..we had none. If you have a boat, the dock is super nice and a great size for probably up to a 20’ boat. Gas grill works good and there is a fire pit with wood. The beds were comfortable and showers/bathrooms worked great! Old Town Savannah is about 15 minutes away with any store/food you can think of available. Overall, this was a great, quiet, trouble free getaway that we will definitely come back too!

About the host

Hosted by Bill

Host profile image
As a long time, and current resident of this coastal neighborhood I have fished the waters inshore and offshore for over 40 yrs. Savannah history and culture, captured me as a young man . I enjoy all Savannah offers and get great pleasure seeing people enjoy the experience. The cottage built in 1941, is among the 1st in this neighborhood which was originally a fishing camp community. This is a Vacation property for people who enjoy fishing, the sights, sounds, history and wildlife activity. of the coast.

Why they chose this property

Wake up each morning to the spectacular river and marsh. Watching boats go by, fisherman heading out, or coming back. People fishing from their docks,crabbing, or casting for shrimp. The property is just minutes from Historic Savannah, National Parks Tybee Island's ocean beach. Historic sites, fine golf courses, tennis, and many other sites of interest.

What makes this property unique

This is a 1 1/2 acre private, wooded property, yet close to restaurants, shopping, downtown Historic Savannah and ocean beaches . Quiet and very little traffic.. I call it " COUNTRY IN THE CITY"
