Nestled in Downtown Augusta and sitting directly on the Savannah River, this incredible retreat provides impeccable day and night waterfront views from inside its quarters or any its outdoor spaces. The open floor plan features a spacious kitchen and living area and a queen sized guest suite with patio access that leads to the 700 sq.ft. rooftop patio. Maximum venue attendance is 10. Savannah Rea’s front and back patios have ample seating arrangements and provide exceptional views of the Savannah River, 24 hours a day. Its rooftop deck has an obstruction free view of Augusta's newest attraction, the Freedom Bridge which allows pedestrians to cross the natural state border between Georgia and South Carolina and the iconic 1912 Southern Railroad Bridge that is still active today. An open concept living, dining and cooking space makes for entertaining very easy while also providing unforgettable views through the large windows and sliding glass doors. A 55” Roku TV is hung in the front corner to avoid sun glare. The futon folds out to a full-sized bed, high top table sits four, kitchen has a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, toaster oven and small cooking appliances to accommodate any type of meal preparation. Coffee itself is not provided but a K-Cup coffee maker and french press are both on the wet bar along with your everyday coffee additives. Due to the stove/oven being propane, it is disconnected and cannot be used and the dishwasher is out of service at this time also. A full sized washer and dryer is available for use with your own supplies. Bathroom has full-sized walk-in shower, high end marine toilet, three shelf vanity and privacy frosted window. Shower supplies are not provided but there is an available hairdryer under the sink. Queen sized bedroom has a large window and back sliding glass door for back patio access. A 40” TV has attached Roku where you can find complimentary NETFLIX. Left hand closet has robes and grilling accessories. An attached charcoal grill can be found on the back patio. The indoor climate is controlled by a mini-split A/C and heating system which includes two separate wall units, one in the living room and another in the bedroom. Each have an associated remote. Dedicated Wi-Fi information will be provided the day of check-in. The main parking lot at the marina can be used during your stay and is free of charge. Information will be available the day of check-in for gaining access to the property. The entire inside and outside of the houseboat are open for use. VRBO Inbox should always be utilized before making direct contact via cell phone. We don’t want any surprises when you arrive so these are the things to expect. GLAMPING - The only difference between the houseboat and a camper is the ground beneath or lack thereof. SAVANNAH RIVER - Many different species of wildlife call this home and will make a presence when the time is right. The exterior perimeter is sprayed often to lessen the chance of any insects from entering the boat. Keeping the windows and doors closed will also help tremendously. It is strongly encouraged NOT TO SWIM IN THE RIVER AND STRICTLY PROHIBITED NOT TO JUMP OFF THE TOP DECK INTO THE WATER. You will not be able to see clearly much father than 5ft in front of you when underwater. There are objects and wildlife on the bottom of the river, floating on top of the river and suspended everywhere else in between. Certain types of debris and/or certain types of species of animals that call the Savannah River home, can and will cause severe injury to you, your guests and/or pets, that could result in serious injury or death if any in which enter the water. FISHING - Walmart (less than 10 minutes away) has a full fishing department where live bait can be purchased. Fishing is ONLY allowed off the boat itself, not the dock. Visit Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources website to purchase a fishing license and to read all rules and regulations before casting your line. MARINE TOILET - Georgia's Department of Natural Resources has a zero-tolerance policy regarding waste entering the river. The marine toilet onboard is nearly identical to the one used at your home, except is controlled by toggle switches rather than a flush lever. The bathroom is stocked with marine grade toilet paper which is the only thing besides waste that should be flushed. A $1,000 charge applies to any waste system failure that is caused by a prohibited object being flushed. PETS & ADDITIONAL GUESTS - DOGS ARE WELCOME. ALL OTHER PETS ARE NOT. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE ENTIRE PERIMETER OF THE BOAT'S DECK HAS AN OPEN RAILING WITH A TOTAL OF FIVE ENTRY/EXIT POINTS. THESE ENTRY/EXIT POINTS ARE ONLY GUARDED BY A SINGLE ROPE. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PET UNATTENDED WHILE HE OR SHE IS OUTSIDE. ALL GUESTS MUST BE 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. NO EXCEPTIONS. GUESTS NOT ACCOUNTED FOR ON YOUR RESERVATION ARE PROHIBITED FROM STAYING OVERNIGHT. IF TWO OR MORE VISITORS (NOT ACCOUNTED FOR ON THE RESERVATION) COME ABOARD, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE SO I HAVE A HEADS UP INCASE THE MARINA MANAGEMENT TEAM ASKS. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Ice maker - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Rooftop terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70900000/70893900/70893847/cac49331.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### River View Retreat- So Cute, So Cozy- Short Walk to SRP Park & Downtown Augusta West End - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=70893847&PinnedHotelID=70893847&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105590000/105583800/105583713/cde69931.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cozy 2 BR 1BA with Kitchenettes and Private entrance National Hills - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=105583713&PinnedHotelID=105583713&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27140000/27132200/27132190/f68d2383.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious 1 BR Home Centrally Located near Downtown, Hospitals + King Bed West End - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 9 reviews CA $82 CA $226 total includes taxes & fees Oct 7 - Oct 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=27132190&PinnedHotelID=27132190&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74150000/74149000/74148908/954a1310.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful 4 Bedroom River Front House in Downtown West End - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 63 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=74148908&PinnedHotelID=74148908&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91870000/91865600/91865571/291c2db7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Goat House Close to Downtown Augusta Albion Acres - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 25 reviews CA $188 CA $277 total includes taxes & fees Oct 8 - Oct 9 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-08&endDate=2025-10-09&selected=91865571&PinnedHotelID=91865571&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83260000/83254400/83254364/7c1b0fcb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4.5mi to Augusta National & walkable downtown!
