Great location, super clean!
The Captain's Cottage was very clean, and had ample room for the 4 of us. Quick response from owner. Lots of basic supplies included for cooking & laundry. A box of tissues would have been nice but not a deal breaker. We'd stay here again..

Highly Recommend Property
We had a great time at this property. The house location is easily walkable to the River and to Broughton. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The house is exactly as described with perfect amenities (including coffee, filters, plenty of kitchen, bath, and laundry supplies). Our host was extremely friendly and responsive. We had a minor issue that was beyond his control and he addressed it immediately. Great experience!

Historic Luxery
The home was so comfortable, to enjoy the game in the living area, make anything in a well done, and fully automated kitchen. The beds were very comfortable inside bedrooms that were large and charming. Master bathroom was superb and hall bathroom was very accommodating.Hopefully, we will be back.

Great location, exceptional host
The cottage is in a prime location for walking around town with easy access to Tybee Island. It's spotless and beautifully appointed. Charles & Faye thought of all the little things that elevated our stay and made us feel comfortable. The beds slept great and Charles went above & beyond in every aspect. True southern hospitality in a charming historical home. Highly recommend!

Cute amd Cozy.
The house is decorated to match the historical area. Very clean and comfy. It's in a quiet location and is conveniently close to many things. You must try the Pirate House, conveniently located across the street. The parking available is not free which we didnt see in the bookong detail, but its cheap, free at nught abd Sundays so was not an issue.

Charm, Convenience, and Charles
I took my son and his gf plus our little rescue dog for a long weekend. The cottage was perfect in every way for us to enjoy our time on the patio, enjoy the easy walk to everything we wanted to do and see, and Dutch loved walking in the park right outside the front door. Charles was excellent as a host and made communication so easy. We are planning our next stay!
