Rincon Visit
The site listed this #1 place for Rincon Georgia 7 miles away. Its really 36 min drive from Rincon but worth the drive if you love peace and quite in the woods. We enjoyed our stay. Very beautiful neighborhood with big 1 acre lot. Great for playing catch with the kids. Bluffton is 30 + min drive away. Mattress in masterbed was very comfortable. Furniture very nice.

Awesome Stay
We came to watch a Savannah Banana’s ball game for my fiancés birthday. The house was not too far for us from there. Very spacious and slept the 7 of us comfortably. We went to the beach our second day, again close enough for a great time. I would definitely stay here again!

Great location...great house.
The house was great and we loved the quietness of the dead end street it was on. So quiet and serene. We sent messages to the owner and she answered back right away. She was extremely friendly and courteous.

Great place for dogs but needs a little TLC to make great overall
This property is great for dogs as it is away from pretty much everything. Closest other house was about 200 to 300 yards away and out of site. Master bedroom and master bath are excellent and recently redone. The second largest bedroom did not have space to put clothes and it was a bit difficult living out of our suit cases. The existing drawers had the owners stuff in them. The furniture was comfortable and the kitchen was adequately equipped with fairly new appliances. The owner was great to communicate with, but the property manager never returned my call. We were told we could get an air mattress for the 6th person but that never happened so we had to buy one (2 people were single adults). The only way 7 people can sleep here is 2 to each bed and one on the sofa. There were not enough sheets or pillow cases 7 people, especially with an air mattress. There are plenty of pillows though. Great for a family if your not expecting perfection (we were not). Anyone with a dog should know better :). We were just glad to find a place that would allow dogs!!

Secluded stay, not far from bigger cities
My family and I enjoyed our stay here. The house is secluded and surrounded by woods, which we loved. I spent some time observing many species of birds present. The house is about half an hour away from Savannah and Hilton Head. Most of the grocery stores and restaurants we went to were about 15-20 minutes away, but worth the drive. We liked that the property was pet friendly, as we brought our dogs with us. We really enjoyed the Okatie Ale House restaurant, but be prepared for a wait if you choose to go there!

Pup-Friendly Property
We chose this rental because they were dog friendly, and it was perfect for what we needed. Cell service is spotty, but with Wi-Fi being available, we didn’t have any issue. The kitchen has new appliances and is fully stocked with pots/pans/utensils.

The best home away from home
If you’re looking for a cozy place that’s just like home, especially if you travel with pets, this is the place. Everything you can think of for a stay was provided. All we had to do was pickup some food essentials from the grocery story. The information binder was a great resource for recommended restaurants, grocery stores, to how to use the tv, thermostat, etc. and the history of the property. The yard is very spacious and was fantastic for our dogs to roam and explore. The neighborhood was great for extended walks to wear out them out before heading into Savannah. Everyone wanted to stay longer and we cannot wait to come back and visit again.
