About this property

Panoramic Water Views, Deep Water Dock, Right outside Your Doors!

!! Please inquire if interested in 2 nights at a different rate. !!

The Casita may be my favorite home.
1 bedroom, 1 bath...a perfect hide away. You wake, stretch and look out your windows at the spectacular views of water and nature. After a leisurely morning, you just have to try the outdoor shower with enough room for two. From The Casita, you may see a pod of dolphins playing near the dock.
As the day continues, you may choose to boat over to St. Catherine's or Ossobaw Island and relax on the beach with a picnic lunch. By mid-afternoon, you head back to The Casita and the spacious outdoor kitchen now comes into play. You fire up the grill and prepare an evening meal (that somehow tastes better than any meal you've ever prepared), or you may choose to have your meal prepared for you! Your Hostess offers menu options, information upon booking. And of course, there is always the option of dining out at a local seafood restaurant.
This beautiful hideaway is close to I-95 but FAR from everything. Don't worry about leaving your pet. Pets are welcome!! Bring Your boat, dock it, then use our fish cleaning station to clean your daily catch! Local fishing and Beaching charters are also available.

We enjoyed a wonderful 3 getaway. The Casita and property offer peace and tranquility. We came to the area to relax and explore the surrounding towns. The outdoor kitchen and seating are wonderful, set up for anything you may want and the view is bar none. We did experience torrential rain the second and third night and throughout our departure which limited our use of the wonderful outdoor space. Cookie was a pleasure to work with, very kind and accommodating. We highly recommend staying at the Casita if you don't mind being off the beaten path!

A great weekend getaway!

Absolutely loved our stay! It was amazing to wake up to the river every morning. The tide was so fun to watch, and the views were incredible. The outdoor kitchen was a total highlight. Cookie was truly wonderful—so kind and always helpful. This is a must-stay, and we’ll definitely be back. I’m from the area, so it’s great to know we now have a place to book when we return!

Nature with comfort

Its a beautiful location, both the house and surrounding area. The house is small but perfect for 2, with a large outdoor kitchen, hottub overlooking the river and a dock that is perfect for fishing and crabbing. It's definitely a more wild area so you will see plenty of animals, many sharing the patio with you. It's a bit buggy so make sure you bring some bug spray or torches if you don't want to fist fight the flies while you cook. Past that it's a wonderful place and Cookie is a wonderful host that will go out of her way to make sure you're taken care of.

Beautiful location with great hospitality

Really enjoyed the time at the property with beautiful scenery, quiet surroundings, and close proximity to several local attractions. We spend a day just enjoying the cottage followed by an afternoon up in Tybee Island and then another at Jekyll Island. Loved the proximity to multiple locations yet away from the busy tourism. Would recommend to others

The Casita is a fabulous property for 2. Beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need including an outdoor kitchen! The dock is super also.

Cookie is the best host.

The place was everything described and more. What really made it 5 stars and more was Cookie. She is by far the best host I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with on vrbo. Cookie reached out before our trip to speak in person. She gave us all the information about the area, went over different options of things to do in the area. Throughout our stay, she reached out to see if we were ok and if we needed anything. We will definitely be back again. Thank you.

Kayak and Kitchen!

The info before the trip was great. Directions perfectly fine to get there. Clean and exactly as presented in the listing. Outdoor kitchen extremely well equipped, hot tub worked fine, kayaks we had ordered were on the deck. Gorgeous views over the marshes watching the tide come in and out. Easy day trip to Savannah. Was able to contact manager during our week for some questions. Will come back and rent the house next door for a family gathering! Thanks, folks.

Heaven on Earth

These pictures simply do not do this little cottage justice. Everything is meticulous planned out and laid out so well, it really makes use of the space in the best way possible. I'll admit, I had my doubts about the hanging bed, but not only was it incredibly comfortable, the slow, gentle, swaying was incredible. To say nothing of the views. I saw dolphins swim by the dock every single day, at least once a day. It feels like living in a painting. And the host, Cookie, was absolutely incredible to deal with! She was so kind and friendly, and went out of her way to make sure I had everything I possiblely needed throughout my stay. I will ABSOLUTELY be coming back for a longer stay. This place is an absolute gem!

Santos Salvo

Property was clean and nice. Very cozy and accommodations were great. Issues with rentals involved check-in and communication. Was left trying to figure out how check-in worked until after the initial time for check-in. There was an initial issue with reservations as I reserved another property by the property owner. Of no fault of the owner, VRBO double booked the reservation and the owner offered the Santos Salvo property instead.

Never wanted to leave

I dont know where to start. It was all just perfect. The outdoor kitchen was amazing. Even when it was raining, we were able to comfortably cook and hang out. There was no need for anything except the food to cook. The home itself was so cozy. I will always be begging for a suspended bed. So wonderful. There are beautiful views no matter which window you look from. Waking up to watch the sunrise without leaving the bed is remarkable. Outdoor showers, night time hot tub relaxing, fishing from the pier.. there were memories made, for sure. Cookie was amazing and offered far more than expected. 11/10 recommend. **I will be back, Cookie**

Beautiful Property

My wife and I stayed at Colonel Island’s Casita and absolutely loved it. The cottage was tastefully decorated with care personal attention. It was a perfect place for just her and I. The property is located in the most beautiful surroundings with all the wonder nature has to offer. Pink Spoonbills, Blue Herons, Cranes, Bottlenose Dolphins are constant sights along with some of the most beautiful sunsets we have seen. The outdoor kitchen offers everything one would need to prepare any meals during your stay. There are a multitude of historic and outdoors activities close by as well as being just 30 minutes from all Savannah has to offer. If none of that is your speed, then the property itself is draw enough I assure you. There is a pier and dock on this property where you can launch your kayaks or SUPs for adventures in the wetlands, or just lounge between the patio furniture and hot tub while taking in nature and beverages of your choice. My wife and I did little of it all and look forward to making a trip to Colonel’s Island an annual trip for her and I.

NOT AS ADVERTISED! SPIDER INFESTED!!

I am forced to leave a negative review due to the fact that the house was not as advertised.Our stay was going to be sat-wed &as we were on the way to the house Cookie text me that the gas,outside kitchen&hottub does not work which the hottub was not a big deal to us being i was 7&half months pregnant at the time of our check in but we were still being charged for it. Upon arrival@10:30pm on Sat we entered the house and started to unpack my husband proceeded to bring our stuff in the house,which he had a flashlight in his hand when he came inside and noticed a very LARGE SPIDER&spider web in the corner where the brick wall joins the bedroom.He then started looking around even more&seen 2 more spiders near the ceiling fan and even more spider webs throughout the home at which point we contacted Cookie&ask for her to come take a look at what we had found.She arrived around 11pm and we showed her the pictures we had taken and told her that not knowing whether the spiders were poisonous or not that we did not feel comfortable staying in this house.She then proceeded telling us that she had another house we could look at and possibly stay in if we wanted.So we loaded up everything&went to the other house just down the street,we went inside&there were as many if not more spider webs in that house.We then decided not to stay at either location.At this point Cookie informed us that she would have no control over giving a refund and that we would have to contact VRBO which we said we would do the following day.Now it was around 12midnight&we decided to part ways.We made contact with her the following day to seek out a refund after being informed by VRBO that the refund would have to come from her.She then proceeded to tell us that her houses were not dirty&that they were off the beaten path that we should not have left due to 1 little spider&1 spider web.She then told us that she was going to have an exterminator come out on Mon which she said neither of them seen a spider.Then she said a few messages later that the spider we had seen was not poisonous.Either way we did not feel comfortable staying at either location due to the 3 spiders we had seen and the signs of spiders.So at this point she does not want to give a full refund&tells us that we are just trying to hurt a small business.We have not received an apology or any refund. She has been very difficult to deal with&she has now blocked my #.I hope you have a better experience than we did.

About the host

Hosted by Cookie Lopez

Host profile image
After retiring from the corporate world, I decided to dedicate Myself to the Island and to providing the ultimate Island Paradise Vacation for our guests. I turned this rustic garage into a beautiful guest house for friends. Comments from family and friends about our hospitality, the beauty of our guest house renovation, and the unique beauty and serenity of the Island ultimately helped us decide to open up our Casita!!!

Why they chose this property

I was a 'City Girl', but a friend brought me to the Island and their family spent over 30 years on Colonels Island enjoying and celebrating Island Life. My first time visiting the Island, I thought I was going to some Godforsaken middle-of-nowhere places. After a few days, I knew that I never wanted to leave!

What makes this property unique

Imagine living in a place where you can look in almost every direction and see beautiful coastal water! Dolphins jump every day! I wake up and see Deer in our front yard! Living in the outdoors surrounded by the sounds of nature... indescribable! Please come see for yourselves!
