About this property

A Colonels Island Gem! In Midway GA near Halfmoon Marina with Deep Water Dock

Enjoy exploring coastal GA from this direct waterfront cottage with a deep water private dock located at Colonels Island GA only 35 minutes south of historic downtown Savannah. Bring your boat and dock it at the private deep water dock that is within eye shot distance of Half Moon Marina for boat lift, bait and gas. Wake up to spectacular views of the North Newport River which offers a gateway to good fishing and beachcombing on the pristine undisturbed beaches off the barrier islands of St Catherines, Ossabaw, and Blackbeard. Centrally located "Midway" between Savannah and Brunswick GA, this cottage is about a 50 minute drive by car to the beach at Tybee Island to the north or drive 50 minutes south to the beaches of Jekyll Island or St Simons Island.

Sunset Cottage sits on a large lot on the bluff centered on the crescent of the "Half Moon" River (aka North Newport River) with panoramic views of the water. Sit on the back deck and enjoy watching the porpoises cruise by and the colorful sunsets over the river.

Very nicely appointed with nautical décor, freshly painted and new floors, this spacious cottage accommodates up to 8 guests with 3 bedrooms with a king in the primary, a queen and a twin bed in Bedroom #2, and a queen and a twin in Bedroom #3. The primary and guest bath has been completely remodeled. The major advantages of this property are the amazing panoramic views of the river, the private deep water dock and 3 full bathrooms (yeah - no waiting around on others!). Hang out with your family/friends in the spacious living room with plenty of seating and watch movies on the new 65 inch TV. Or enjoy some quiet time with a book and a cup of coffee in the separate lounging room. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking at home with a refrigerator, cook top, dishwasher and DOUBLE oven. Or grill out on the new propane gas grill on the deck. Don't feel like cooking? No worries - head on over to the Sunbury Crab Company about 10 min away for awesome direct waterfront casual dining with fresh local seafood and steaks, as well as casual baskets.

Wonderfully accommodating
We felt this was a great value both in price and size of the accommodation. Clean floors, even baseboards and under beds (let’s just say we have toddlers and have to do a through final check for toys). They really took the time to be purposeful as a rental with soaps, towels, decor, chairs and directions. We have already rented it for next year! So book soon before they fill up.

Great place to stay...
Enjoyed our stay immensely! Able to spend time with everyone as a family, but also allowed for us to have time for separate/individual activities due to outdoor space and additional living room. Dock was great for fishing, relaxing, watching dolphins and birds. Beautiful sunsets! House is clean and spacious.

More Than Just a Sunset
This is such an easy house for a longer stay. My husband and I were at Sunset Cottage for 6 weeks in the Winter 2024. Coming off a stressful year, we found the perfect place to relax, enjoy the wildlife, including the two Cormorants that guarded the dock and greeted us every morning, and ride bikes and take walks. We tried to time our return to the cottage so we’d be back for the sunset, which is as spectacular as advertised. The kitchen is enjoyable to work in and the closets in the bedrooms are roomy and well designed. Little touches, such as the coat and jacket hooks by the door, are very helpful. The entertainment room had a great set-up with large-screened tv and comfy seating. We would definitely recommend Sunset cottage!

Sunset Relaxation
We truly enjoyed are stay here. The cottage is beautiful and has everything you need to enjoy yourself. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook all of your meals. The best was enjoying a drink in the evening while sitting on the dock and watching the sunset. Elaine was awesome to work with on booking the cottage. This was our second time staying and it was even better this time.
