About this property
Waterfront Home - With Secluded Private Pool On Beautiful Half Moon River
Located on Wilmington Island. 15 minutes from historic downtown Savannah, 15 minutes from Tybee Island beaches – but not sure why you would ever want to leave this view! Beautiful view of Half Moon River across the marsh to Wassau Sound, barrier islands and ocean beyond. We are renting to you the bottom floor of our vacation home which has its own separate entrances and is completely separate from the upstairs. Master bedroom with water view has a king bed, flat screen TV. Second bedroom has queen bed, flat screen TV. Sitting area has two large sofas and another flat screen TV. Fully equipped kitchen (all electric -no gas appliances). Swimming pool with lounge chairs and view of the water. Gas grill and covered outside eating area. Two docks. The long dock, a 900 foot walk out to the deep water river, is a wonderful spot to fish, catch crabs or watch for dolphins. Great private outdoor shower also. You are welcome to bring your boat - public boat ramp or marina is 3 miles by land or 8 miles by water. From the house it is 4 miles by water to beaches and sand bars accessible only by boat. 4 more miles will bring you to the south end of Tybee where you can dock at restaurants such as A.J.'s and the Crab Shack. Bought this home because of the privacy, amazing view and the easy access to the ocean and barrier islands. So fun to go out to spend the day on the sandbars or explore the tidal creeks. Then at home, sit and watch the egrets and great blue herons in the tidal marsh. Because of the 8 foot tidal swing, the view is always changing. We have outdoor cameras viewing the front and back yards. There are NO indoor cameras. We do allow dogs -NOT cats due to family member's allergy- but require that you confirm with us that they are on flea control. They are not allowed on furniture or bedding as this creates so much additional work for our housekeeper. Please be sure to read the pet policy and other house rules and contact us

Our stay at jacks waterfront home was perfect. We had private pool and views that changed all the time with the tides. Home was very quiet and comfortable with all amenities you could ask for. After the hustle and bustle of Savannah it was nice to come back to peace and quiet and just enjoy the views. Our experience couldn't have been better and communication with our host was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this home.
We loved watching the beautiful birds and walking out to the beautiful smell of jasmine. A dolphin greeted us on one day of our visit. A wonderfully tucked away oasis. Perfect for unwinding and appreciating nature.
This is a wonderful property in a beautiful location. Comfortable beds, lots of space, lots of extras that we really appreciated (having a pack of coffee for that first morning was a lifesaver!). Would definitely stay here again.
Incredible home, location, host!! One of the most enjoyable and relaxing vacations our family has ever had! This home had every amenity we could need, it was clean, close enough to all we wanted to see in all directions. Can’t recommend this place enough!
We had a lovely stay. The apartment was perfect for us and our two daughters. It was peaceful and the location is beautiful. Easy to get to both Savannah and Tybee.
We really enjoyed our stay. The owner was very helpful and personable. Close enough to the beach and downtown, but far enough from the hustle and bustle to relax in the morning and evening. Nice safe area.
My family and I were exploring Savannah for a possible relocation opportunity. Our stay at this beautiful waterfront home was relaxing and educational! We had no idea that the Savannah area had 2 high and low tides per day. We enjoyed seeing the different wildlife at each time and were able to see a pod of dolphins feed at high tide twice! Loved the location, it was clean, and the host was very helpful!

We love it when people enjoy our vacation home as much as we do!
Loved the location of the property. Easy access to Savannah or Tybee Island. Long walks on the pier we’re very relaxing. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for making a meal. Beds were comfortable. Neighborhood was nice and quiet.
This was a great escape from Atlanta. Even though it was in the 90’s, we enjoyed a beautiful breeze by the pool and dock. We really enjoy wildlife, so our encounters with a variety of birds, otter, possums, and dolphins were fantastic. Such a neat little property and fun for our dogs, too.
We came to visit Savannah, and found our selves enjoying the outdoors of this property. Living near a big city, we appreciated the marshes and the river, all the wildlife, and we even got to see the dolphins a couple of times. Humming birds were plentiful sitting by the pool.
Absolutely gorgeous property and view, especially for a couple of nature lovers. The location is about 15 minutes from the historical district. The house itself is great, the beds and couches are incredibly comfortable, even the pillows. The neighborhood is quiet, which is ideal for dog walking. If you want to check out Savannah but don't want to stay downtown, this is a great option.

This house was a perfect vacation.
We totally enjoyed our stay and we were sad to leave. The house is well supplied and very clean. The view is beautiful and always changing. The house is conveniently located. Jack was quick to answer questions. We will definitely recommend anybody we know going to the Savannah area to Jack's house.
We had a fantastic stay. The accommodations are very comfortable. We enjoyed strolling out to the end of the dock on the property in the mornings and evenings. We took in several amazing sunsets. We loved the fragrant flowered back yard and the refreshing pool and outdoor shower. Lots of egrets and even an eagle were observed. Wonderfully peaceful location. Just 15 minutes from Savannah and 10 minutes to Tybee beach/lighthouse. Jack and Jan are excellent hosts. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Cozy waterfront
This basement apartment was exactly what we needed for a short weekend to run the Savannah Rock and Roll half marathon. Accommodations were updated and cozy. Thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor shower, and laying in the grass after the race. I haven't decided if I liked no cell service inside the house or not, but with two steps outside reception was fine (ATT and Sprint). Would certainly stay again!

We are glad Donna enjoyed her stay so much. The apartment is completely separate from the rest of the home on the floor above. Your unit is on the ground floor and has doors and windows to the outside in all rooms. No part of the unit is below ground.
We really enjoyed our week stay at this property. The dock was amazing. We saw dolphin daily and caught a stingray, Stone crab and Gaftopsail catfish. Our teens got a kick out of the aquatic wonderland right in n the backyard. We even saw a 3ft bull shark about half way down the dock swimming at the top of the water. The tidal swings are also amazing to see and experience first hand. Our son loved the pool. The beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. The owners had fantastic communication and the sunset colors are breathtaking. This is truly a unique and wonderful property we made lasting memories we will forever cherish.
First trip to Savannah, we could not have picked a better place to stay. The home/apartment was clean and exactly as described in the listing. Although, I must admit upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised, it far surpassed my expectations. Much nicer in person, pictures do not do it justice. We did not get the pleasure of meeting the owners, Jack made it very easy to communicate and worked with us on delayed arrival. The neighborhood was very peaceful and the views from the deck were beautiful and relaxing.

Then at home, sit and watch the egrets and great blue herons in the tidal marsh. Because of the 8 foot tidal swing, the view is always changing. We have also become very fond of the grounds around the house and hanging by the pool. The walk to the river at sunrise and sunset is always rewarding.
