We found the boathouse a perfect place to get away for a few days to relax and enjoy the Savannah area. We highly recommend the Bread and Butter restaurant, a short distance away. The owners of the Boathouse provided for all of our needs, and the place was very clean. Highly recommend!

The location was perfect for visiting Savannah. It is well kept and the decor and theme made for an enjoyable stay. It was very private and felt like a home away from home. We met Brian and he showed us the dock and made us feel like family. This spot is a hidden gem and a great spot to celebrate an anniversary. We loved our stay! Thank you Brian and Patsy!

Even better than advertised! This is a beautiful home with every accommodation you’d need for a relaxing stay. Jazz was playing on the big screen as we entered and all the lights were on to welcome us. The downstairs a/c unit kept us cool as it was in the 80’s outside. The 1/2 bath off the kitchen was perfectly placed. Special touches were everywhere.We ate every meal out (highly recommended a local favorite, The Flying Fish, for live music and great food!) but we could have cooked in the gourmet kitchen with a full gas range and frig, and anything needed to prep a special meal. Wine glasses, coffee maker, filtered water, a few snacks, sparking water, creamer, spices, and sugar were provided.The ensuite, with a very comfy king poster bed, luxurious linens, sitting area with tv, upstairs a/c and ceiling fan with a gorgeous bathroom, and second porch were beyond expectations.Unlike the last beautiful BNB we reviewed on Whitemarsh Island where you are right on a deep water dock, you will need to pack your own beach bag, towels, bug spray, and sunscreen before trekking around the lovely grounds, through the owners driveway and gorgeous long yard to reach the deck. We enjoyed sunset and sunrise everyday with gorgeous views, wildlife, and several pelicans diving for fish right in front of us.A relaxing, quiet, upscale place to stay for a long getaway or work trip. Stay more than one night to really enjoy!

Brian and Patsi have created the perfect place to stay, nice and comfortable, with attention to detail. The Boathouse is just an awesome place to kick back and relax. Everything seemed to be well thought out and the decorative touches were beautiful. The location is perfect as well - just a short drive to Savannah and Tybee Island. We would definitely stay there again.

Dreamy location! Peaceful retreat along the inner coastal, sitting on the back dock we saw beautiful wildlife, even a dolphin! Downtown is a short drive away for night life or for beach vibes head to Tybee Island. Gracious and easy to communicate with hosts. This was our 2nd trip to the Boathouse, highly recommend it!

Boat House

This property is so beautiful. The boat house is super cute and the decor was very well done. Brian and Patsi have thought of everything that you may need to have a very relaxing trip. It is just a short stroll down to the dock where there are 2 kayaks and beautiful views. Would recommend this to all that are looking for a relaxing getaway.
