Great weekend despite the rain
My husband and 2 adult children plus their spouses came to Savannah for a long weekend. Unfortunately, it rained all weekend. This did not stop us from having a great time. The house was perfect for us. It was very comfortable and had all the things we needed. The host, Lisa, was the best. She was very accommodating and quick to reply to our emails. I would highly recommend renting this house.

Charming house on the river
Absolutely wonderful property for a long weekend with friends. The house had ample space for 3 couples and well-stocked kitchen to make breakfast and lunches. The views from the deck are stunning, and the neighborhood is quiet and serene. Excellent communication with the host Lisa. Absolutely recommended!

Perfect Weekend!
My friends and I stayed at Moon River for a long weekend. We hung by the pool and went swimming off the dock. The owner was very helpful through the whole process and the house was even more than what we were expecting. It is just outside downtown Savannah which was perfect for what we were wanting. Can’t wait to come back!

This is the ultimate home away from home! We swam everyday in this wonderful pool, grilled, kayaked and loved the bed swing on the porch. Great location for the beach and downtown.

Great Getaway
The property fit our family needs completely. Our family enjoyed the pool and dock especially. The fishing and crabbing was fun. Lisa offers so many more amenities than other places. The home was well equipped with all kitchen necessities (including a great grill), plenty of linens and games. Lisa was the perfect host, quickly responding to requests or needs. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

Great Home with everything you need and more! Lisa was wonderful and her home was amazing with anything you need for a great week. Dock was clean and easily accessible, pool was great, beds were amazing, would stay here again no questions asked! Within driving distance of pretty much anything, and far enough that you can get away from the crowd!

Moon River House
My family and I enjoyed a weeklong stay in the house. The house had plenty of space and bedrooms for our entire crew. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The smaller kids really loved the pool and took full advantage of it the entire week. We even tried fishing off the dock. It was close enough to downtown Savannah and we made several trips downtown. Everyone had a great time.

Moon River House is a beautiful property inside and out. We had a wonderful time hanging out by the pool and sitting out on the dock (we even saw river dolphins!). The home itself is clean and beautifully decorated. Great communication with the owner. A quiet neighborhood close to downtown Savannah. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely views of the water
Well-equipped home about 20 minutes out of Savannah, and a little further to Tybee Island. We had our immediate family with us, including 2 little ones. and spent most of our time on the property. There were some good golf courses nearby, and parts of our group golfed several days. We did manage to catch a crab or two off the pier. The sunrise views over the pier were beautiful. The pool was nice, if a little chilly. It warmed up enough for us to enjoy it the last few days we were there. The host was very responsive and accommodating . The pool guy was friendly and gave us some good recommendations. Parking was private, off the main road. The primary bedroom was very nice, with a great view.

We had an amazing stay here! It’s a spacious home on a beautiful piece of property. The home was very clean, cozy and also kid-friendly. Our kids had fun jumping in the pool and enjoyed watching the different fish and marine life swim by the dock. The host (Lisa) was very responsive and welcoming! We hope to be back to this part of the world one day and would certainly stay here again. To anyone debating booking here, I’d highly recommend it!

Relax and Refresh
We are a group of four couples who found the house spacious and accommodating for all our needs. The rooms were large and there was plenty of room for us to spread out and enjoy the beauty of southeastern Georgia. We had wonderful communication with the property owner, Lisa. She was very responsive, gracious, and welcomed us with a goodie bag. The pool looks wonderful, but it was too cool for any of us to try it. If you are interested in spending a lot of time experiencing Savannah, this is a little ways away. For us, however, we appreciated the distance from the crowds and bustle, while still having the city nearby. We spent a full day in Savannah, and another on Tybee Island. We recommend Wormsloe Historic Site, just a few miles away. There are a number of great restaurants nearby. The one issue was that there were a lot of sand gnats swarming while we were there. This is beyond the control of anyone, but repellents with deet don't work. We have heard, but did not try, that eucalyptus oil or lavender oil work well as repellents. A great place. We highly recommend.
