I am very glad to hear that your River House experience exceeded your expectations and you found much pleasure with your stay! I seek to be present and available during any guest stay by phone or text to ensure a quick response to provide the best of vacations stay. I'm glad you appreciated my efforts and found everything to be very clean with a smooth check in. I have heard from past guests how they also found the River House to be considerably lower priced that included so many amenities all included in the booking with NO EXTRA FEES and on the Savannah River. Guests like yourself have said that I offer a much better value for the money though they were initially searching for the more popular vacation spots like Charleston SC, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, Savannah GA, or Atlanta GA. They like yourself said they got so much more staying at the River House! I'm so glad you chose to stay at the River House! It was a pleasure hosting you! I look forward to your return stay at the River House or my other properties that I give to those special guests whom have been super guests! I'll be sending you the link to my other properties :)

Response from VrboOwner on 25 May 2022
Such a great comment, 'tucked away'! And yet only 5 min to downtown Augusta! I've also heard, 'Diamond in the Ruff' since the River House has a thick wooded area buffering it from the street. Most Augusta locals don't even know of this stretch of River Frontage estates and yet after living in Augusta, while serving in the Army, it became our favorite place to be. We felt we were on vacation when at the River House and didn't have a desire to go anywhere else. Our 4 sons loved all the water sports available and it occupied them and their friends ALL day! So glad you felt you were able to relax while at the River House! Thank you for choosing me to host you! It was such a pleasure sharing our home with you!

Wonderful getaway

This was a wonderful place for us to escape for spring break. We had a pool, kayaks, kitchen to cook in and much more. We enjoyed a baseball game near by in north Augusta, walks along the river walk in Augusta, seeing the James Brown statue, and wonderful places to eat. kJ did such a great job at providing a safe and comfortable place to stay, and also giving advice on fun things to do as a family. Golfing over the river or over the pool was equally fun. We would definitely return to this great property.

Peaceful Secluded River oasis

I stayed here while filming a Tv show in Augusta, the house was perfect, very secluded & pvt, lush landscaping/ garden property along the peaceful Savannah river. Close to everything! The house was very clean and comfortable. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen was perfect. The outside deck was great for working out.

It was such a thrill to host you and hear how much you enjoyed your stay! I'm so glad that the privacy proved to be just what you needed. I have wanted to share the Riverhouse with a famous person like yourself, to know if they felt private and safe with a place they could rest and be restored. So happy the Riverhouse passed with flying colors! It was a treat to have the star of 'Fast and Furious'! If you ever film or vacation to Park City, Utah or Maui, Hawaii, get in touch, as I have some other private stays there too.

About the host

Hosted by KJ Boyle

A native of Santa Barbara, CA, KJ and her husband, Bret, dedicated 15 years to active duty military service. This journey has allowed KJ to embrace a diverse range of cultures and celebrate their unique attributes.

Throughout their lives, KJ and Bret, along with their four sons, have called many places home, including Santa Barbara, Italy, Spain, Hawaii, South Korea, North Carolina, Georgia, and Utah. Their love for adventure has taken them to Europe, Mexico, Thailand, Canada, and various destinations across the United States. Now, as empty nesters, KJ and Bret enjoy exploring the scenic backroads of Utah on Bret's motorcycle.

At **KJ Augusta Rentals**, each property is meticulously cared for, cleaned thoroughly, and regularly updated to guarantee a comfortable stay for her guests. KJ goes above and beyond to create memorable experiences, resulting in many repeat visitors to her homes.

KJ’s life motto is **“Carpe Diem”**, reminding her to seize each day and make the most of every moment.

Why they chose this property

One of the major benefits of our location is its connection to the legendary **James Brown**, the "Godfather of Soul," whose iconic hit **“I Feel Good”** embodies the spirit of the River House neighborhood. Just minutes from downtown Augusta, this area is steeped in James Brown's history, as he grew up here during the Great Depression and World War II, overcoming poverty to become an international music icon.

Be sure to snap a photo with the **bronze James Brown statue** and take the **James Brown Family Historical Tour** for an immersive journey through significant sites around Augusta, guided by a family member. You can also explore "The KING of SOUL" exhibit at the Augusta Museum of Art

Downtown Augusta is rich in **historical and architectural gems**. Noteworthy sites include the **1897 Sacred Heart Cultural Center**. The **Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art**, built in 1818. Additionally, the **Old Medical College Building**, built in 1835, is one of the leading medical schools in the South.

Entertainment options abound, including the **Imperial Theatre**, which opened on February 18, 1918, and features performances for every age group.

Augusta exudes Southern charm, offering artisans, eclectic cuisines, and vibrant bars. There’s no shortage of **things to do**, especially at venues like **The Bell Auditorium** and the **James Brown Arena**.

Despite its proximity, the River House is nestled in a secluded setting along the Savannah River, with 3-acre lots ensuring **PRIVACY IS KING**. The River House is hidden behind thick woods, yet it’s close to beloved seafood restaurants like **Beamie's at the River**, **Sushi Kitchen**, and **Sole Augusta**. Don’t miss the vegetarian delights at **The Treehouse**, classic dining at **Edgar's Above Broad**, and my favorite, **The Boll Weevil Café and Sweetery**.

A guest noted in his 5 * Review after staying at the River House, "Uber rides to downtown are less than $5," highlighting the convenience of our location.
