Savannah Whitemarsh Island Cottage on Private Riverfront Estate with Dock

Mid-century Guest House Cottage on approximately 3-acre riverfront estate with access to a private dock on deep water for guests.

The “Boathouse” in its entirety has been rehabilitated with stunning, high-end appointments throughout boasting a deluxe master bedroom with en-suite bathroom upstairs; living room, modern kitchen and one-half bathroom downstairs. Outside areas include upstairs deck and downstairs patio, covered and uncovered.

Spend your time while visiting this gorgeous property by taking a stroll over the grounds, walking past the main house to the deep water dock. Observe the sea birds and wildlife or leisurely sit on the upstairs deck to watch the sun set through the old majestic oak trees. It’s truly magical!

This riverfront estate is only 10 minutes to historic downtown Savannah and 15 minutes to Tybee Island Beach. Stay in this perfect setting for your vacation, honeymoon, romantic get-away or business trip.

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.

We stayed at this property in October. The cottage was absolutely beautiful and maybe the cleanest property I have ever stayed at. Location was private, quiet but still not far from dining and shopping. Hosts were awesome! Will definitely stay here again!

Savannah October
We absolutely fell in love with the Boathouse! One of the cleanest and most charming places we have stayed. Perfect location for those that like beautiful scenery outside the city but a short drive or uber into downtown. We will definitely be back!

Outstanding stay at the Boathouse
From the moment we walked in the door until our final day, everything at the Boathouse was perfect. The furnishings were beautiful, the bed was so comfortable, the bathroom was amazing, and the kitchen was better well equipped than mine. We spent most evenings on the dock which the owners graciously allow their guests to use. Speaking of the owners, Brian and Patsie were so nice and quickly got back to us when we had a question. We were so glad we found this adorable Boathouse and hope to stay here again in the future!

Beautiful property!
We so enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse and will definitely return to this house! The layout is perfect for a couple and the setting is beautiful. The owners were thorough in their communication and were accessible if needed. The location is perfect as it is halfway between downtown Savannah and Tybee Island.

Clean, private, and conveniently located property
By far, this is the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed at. The owner is a great communicator and helped us get our trailer we were towing stowed away so we could enjoy our time in Savannah. While the photos of the boathouse are nice, they do not do justice to just how beautiful the place really is. You just have to stand in it, believe me. The kitchen is very well-appointed and we had 3 meals in during our two night stay. We drove only 13 minutes to get to the Savannah visitor's center parking and maybe 20 to Tybee. Both nights of sleep were great in this quiet location. The best part of all however, were our visits with the resident cat, Jasper! If just the two of us next visit, we will not think twice and will be booking here again if we're lucky enough for it to be available.

Peaceful & Quiet Location
This is our 3rd time staying at the Cottage on Whitemarsh Island and we've loved it every time! Very peaceful & quiet location and convenient to Tybee Beach and Savannah. Brian & Patsi are wonderful hosts and easy to work with. We'll probably stay here again, should we ever be back to Savannah!!

Savannah locals had a blast!
We live in Savannah about 5 minutes down the road from The Boathouse. We stayed for 3 nights for my wife's 40th birthday "staycation" and kept the boat at the dock during our trip. We had an amazing time and will be back again next year. Everything was just perfect.
