Wonderful Easter Trip
We had a five star experience at this VRBO, accommodations were great, very clean, check in and check out were a breeze. The apartment is even more spacious than what it looks like in the picture. There were lots of things to cook with as well. Overall an excellent day, would love to stay again.

Coming "home" to Savannah
We stayed at Mary Ellen and Dwight's studio apartment the weekend after Thanksgiving 2024. We've lived in Savannah/Wilmington Island all our lives and recently moved to the North Georgia mountains. It was so nice to come back home to Savannah and stay in such a cozy cottage on the marsh. We were so busy visiting family we didn't get to enjoy the marsh view as much as we would have liked but the room was so lovely and comfortable and Dwight and Mary Ellen were so accommodating. If you're planning a trip to Savannah, you should definitely stay here!

Minor hiccups Major hospitality
Stairs were a challenge for this 78-year old who recently had shoulder surgery so schlepping suitcases up and down not welcome. Bed was amazing as was coffee. TV was a challenge to operate. Location was perfect. Parking was good. Breakfast recommendation was terrific. Aside from missing box of tissues, it was great.

Overnighter to attend Big Band Dance at Savannah Country Club. The unit is spacious and nicely appointed.
Kitchen is excellent and so is the bed and sofa!! Being in a nice locale within 2 miles of the CC was an important point and this was great.

Private studio between Tybee & Savannah
Perfect location for 2 if you want to enjoy both the city and the island. Thoughtful studio layout: tall ceilings, full kitchen, comfortable furnishings, & air conditioning works great! Steps away from a private deck on the marsh to enjoy nature.

Small yet Cozy
It was a perfect place for 2 people. We also had our dog (10lb Morkie) with us. Plenty of room, and well stocked. We loved the location because we could get to Tybee Island in a few minutes, and downtown Savannah as well. We also visited Hilton Head one day to go to the beach, as Tybee beaches do not welcome dogs. We would have loved to sit out on the deck a bit, but it was very hot and humid and the mosquitos loved us! All in all - it was a fabulous spot!

We stayed for our honeymoon, would definitely do it again. It was clean, intimate, private, with everything we would need to stay in if desired 😉
The location was fantastic, close to amenities, not too close; and our hosts were friendly, available and respectful of our privacy.

Herons and egrets
We loved our stay on Wilmington Island. So much to do in the area; Tybee Island, Savannah, Forts, lighthouses, animal reserve, dolphin boat trip. Our hosts made sure our stay was comfortable and recommended River Street in Savannah; we went and enjoyed the area. The landscaping was beautiful. The deck over the marsh was where I spent the evenings watching and listening to the birds. I was comfortable walking in the community. All the people we met were extremely friendly. We highly recommend this clean, comfortable, lovely studio apartment.
