Brian and Patsi have created the perfect place to stay, nice and comfortable, with attention to detail. The Boathouse is just an awesome place to kick back and relax. Everything seemed to be well thought out and the decorative touches were beautiful. The location is perfect as well - just a short drive to Savannah and Tybee Island. We would definitely stay there again.

Dreamy location! Peaceful retreat along the inner coastal, sitting on the back dock we saw beautiful wildlife, even a dolphin! Downtown is a short drive away for night life or for beach vibes head to Tybee Island. Gracious and easy to communicate with hosts. This was our 2nd trip to the Boathouse, highly recommend it!

We had such a wonderful weekend stay! The location was perfect—very walkable, and we easily covered about 3 miles each day. The dock was easy to find, and we even took a picnic down to enjoy the water (bonus: we saw dolphins playing!). Just a tip—watch for the tide coming back in; we ended up wading through about 4 inches of water to get back to the backyard, which honestly just added to the adventure.Inside, the home was super comfortable and thoughtfully set up. There were tons of outlets, which made charging everything a breeze, and I really appreciated all the hooks in the bathroom—such a simple touch that made unpacking and organizing so easy.If you’re interested in biking or kayaking, definitely ask about availability when you book so you can plan ahead. The hosts were excellent communicators and so helpful—we truly felt like we were staying at a friend’s home.During our trip, we did a ghost tour, caught an NFL game with other fans at the Savannah Taproom, and enjoyed dinner at AJ’s on Tybee, where the sunset views were incredible.An absolute joy of a weekend—we can’t wait to return!

Boat House

This property is so beautiful. The boat house is super cute and the decor was very well done. Brian and Patsi have thought of everything that you may need to have a very relaxing trip. It is just a short stroll down to the dock where there are 2 kayaks and beautiful views. Would recommend this to all that are looking for a relaxing getaway.

So Pampered!

From the moment we entered the home to softly playing jazz music and cozy lighting, we felt pampered, cozy, and comfortable. Impeccably clean and tastefully decorated! This spot was perfectly located between Savannah and Tybee Island in order to enjoy both. We would love to stay again!

Lovely boathouse!

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights while vacationing in Savannah. It is a lovely house, very clean, neat and organized. My husband really loved the stereo and sound system. :) Google maps will not get you there so we are thankful for the hosts clear instructions on how to find the place. Great place to get away outside the city, but still very close to Savannah and the surrounding areas including Tybee. Highly recommend staying here. Perfect for a getaway for 2.
Beautiful bedroom! It was spacious, comfortable and cozy.

Picture Perfect

The Boathouse was the best find for our 5 day getaway. Peaceful and private setting, yet minutes from the hustle and bustle of old Savannah. The entire stay from booking to leaving was perfect. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Peaceful and Relaxing

Had a relaxing weekend at this beautiful boathouse. Bed was comfortable. Place was beautiful and super clean. House is hidden away in lush landscape offering a great secluded and private feeling. It's close to many restaurants and stores so you don't have to go into the bigger city area if you don't want to. My only disappointment was that I expected to have a view of the water from the balcony. The listing did not say that so that was my fault. Private dock is only a short walk from the boathouse. Loved it. Will likely return!
