The property is absolutely stunning! The owners were very friendly and reached out to us frequently to see if we needed anything. Between the hot tub and the great location, it was a great stay. Highly recommend.

We did an overnight stop on our way to Florida. The property was great. Clean and comfortable for a large family. The grounds were nice as well as neighborhood. Would stay again.

The accomodations are clean, spacious, well maintained, and comfortable. Modern appliances and very pleasant decor. We enjoyed our stay, this location is convenient to fishing, the beach, and Riverstreet is only a short drive away.

There were campers in RVs in the driveway when I pulled into the property. The listing had no reference of this. I had declined to rent at other properties that had similar arrangements because I was willing to pay more to have our own, private place to stay. When I saw this, I assumed I was in the wrong place and both texted and called the owner but never heard back. I finally, as weird as it felt, tried the code on the front door and confirmed this was the right place. Upon check out, I called the owner and left a msg and he did call me back this time. He said the campers were properly declared on the listing. I try to get along with everyone so I said whatever. Neither my wife, my mother-in-law, my son nor myself saw anything on the listing that would even hint at this; as a matter of fact, we saw quite the opposite phrases like “private” in several places describing the property. I would not have stayed here if I had known and I felt deceived. The only reason I didn’t give this the lowest rating is because the house itself was fairly clean and the beds were comfortable.

Beyond Expectations
This was my first VRBO stay and it was beyond expectations. The owners stayed in communication with me on everything. Check in and check out was very easy. They gave great suggestions on what to do during our visit. The home was beautiful with plenty of space. The location was perfect for us because it was only 15 minutes away from both the downtown area and the beach. I would definitely use this home again for our next stay in Savannah.

Wonderful Stay
This was the perfect house for our 1st annual cousin’s trip. The location was fantastic with just a short ride to Tybee Island and downtown Savannah. The host was very nice and accommodating. Each guest absolutely loved the home and layout. I like the fact that this home has as many bathrooms as it does, which is a plus if traveling with a larger group! I could go on, but most importantly if I were to return, I would definitely stay again. Thank you Carlos and family.

Great house, perfect location
We enjoyed our stay & the house was great. It is perfectly located between downtown & Tybee. The owner was excellent at communicating & checked on us during our stay to see if there was anything we needed.

Just a bed, not a retreat
This home is a good place if you are just looking to sleep. It is spacious and has a lot of bedrooms. The hosts are very friendly and respond when needed. However, when paying this price, one expects more than just a place to sleep and for the listing to be accurate.
There is NO internet at the home. Due to its location on the marsh, there is very little bandwidth. If there is a cloud in the sky, this means there is NO internet. I had to cancel work engagements, because I could not use the internet. We were there during an especially rainy week with 3 children. No internet meant NO television on the one TV available. It would have been nice to have a DVD player to at least have another option. Even on the semi-clear days, we were only able to watch TV for 5-10 minutes before it would time out.
There is also very little privacy in the bedrooms. 2/4 bathrooms have pocket doors that do not close all the way. The master bedroom has one pocket door at the entry that does not close all the way. There is no door between the master bedroom and bathroom. There are also two French doors in the master bedroom that have no window treatments. Two giant spotlights shine in on the bedroom making you feel like anyone can see in the room. The door knobs to go to the back porches feel like they are going to come out of the door when using them.
Check in was rather late at 5:00 to allow cleaning using COVID procedures. However, we found soiled linens in the dryer that smelled, because the dryer was inoperable. There was also someone's used ice cream in the freezer next to the opened bag of ice that was supposed to be our ice for the stay with no working ice maker or ice trays.
The home is on a beautiful lot but does share a driveway with two Airstream campers for other renters.
This rental has so much potential but did not feel that it was as advertised.

Property sits back off road
We passed the drive entry 1st time. It was hard to see at 1st pass. We did like how far back from road house was. It has a tree line all around property which allows for privacy and a country feel.
We were surprised to see 2 Airstreams that were also being rented. Guests were quiet and private so we had no issues with invasiveness. We had plenty of parking.
There are doors that either do not lock or lock too well In downstairs bathroom and upstairs master. No private door to master bathroom. This was not a deal breaker but we had to make arrangements for privacy.
We found the house to be clean, well organized, well decorated and spacious. The host is gracious and communication was great. The recommendations for grocery and catering were very helpful.
Our dogs were allowed and we loved having them with us. We slept well in the beds. I would have preferred another queen bed in the room that had two single beds but we made it work. I would also suggest kitchen wash cloths and a broom left for use. We like to tidy up after ourselves.
Over all we had a very comfortable stay and had a lot of fun while in town. My family will not forget that weekend and my mother was very surprised with her 80th Birthday celebration. We would love the opportunity to use this home again.

Mr Carlos is an asset to the Vrbo community! This house was in a perfect location and very nice!
This house is beautiful, bright and cheerful. Screened in porch? Got it. Open porch? Check! Nice yard the the grandkids to explore? Yup!
The location of the house was amazing as we spent time on Tybee Island and Savannah. Close to a grocery store, gas station and restaurants.
Next trip back I will 100% choose this house. Mr. Carlos is an amazing host and I wish him all the best with this property and any others that he will hopefully rent.
