Awesome Stay
We came to watch a Savannah Banana’s ball game for my fiancés birthday. The house was not too far for us from there. Very spacious and slept the 7 of us comfortably. We went to the beach our second day, again close enough for a great time. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location...great house.
The house was great and we loved the quietness of the dead end street it was on. So quiet and serene. We sent messages to the owner and she answered back right away. She was extremely friendly and courteous.

Very nice stay!
Loved the quiet, peaceful neighborhood. It was like being in total isolation, but close to highway. House was VERY well stocked! Close to Savannah River. Plan on staying again.

Great place for dogs but needs a little TLC to make great overall
This property is great for dogs as it is away from pretty much everything. Closest other house was about 200 to 300 yards away and out of site. Master bedroom and master bath are excellent and recently redone. The second largest bedroom did not have space to put clothes and it was a bit difficult living out of our suit cases. The existing drawers had the owners stuff in them. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was adequately equipped with fairly new appliances. The owner was great to communicate with, but the property manager never returned my call. We were told we could get an air mattress for the 6th person but that never happened so we had to buy one (2 people were single adults). The only way 7 people can sleep here is 2 to each bed and one on the sofa. There were not enough sheets or pillow cases 7 people, especially with an air mattress. There are plenty of pillows though. Great for a family if your not expecting perfection (we were not). Anyone with a dog should know better :). We were just glad to find a place that would allow dogs!!
