About this property

Wilmington Island Retreat: Gorgeous! New! Close to Downtown & Beach

Situated on idyllic Wilmington Island just minutes from Downtown Savannah or Tybee Island. This part of Savannah was historically a tourism destination. Charter fishing, restaurants, local shops etc make Wilmington Island a perfect landing spot for your Savannah/Tybee vacation. Get the best of both worlds with a quiet neighborhood atmosphere just steps from multiple dining and shopping spots. Park in the 2-car garage or private driveway. Walk to Lilli's, Basil's, Molly Maguire's, Cancun, Rio Bravo, or several fast-food spots. 2 major supermarkets are within a mile. Tybee Island is 10 miles away by car. The Historic District (Downtown) Savannah is 10 miles away.

*Additional $100 Pet Fee must be paid after booking if you bring a dog as optional fees are not shown at checkout on VRBO.

​​​​​​​Guests please note: We are an "integrated partner" with VRBO/Expedia/HomeAway. Your credit card will show the rent/tax/cleaning portion of your charges under our company name because Integrated Partners are required to be the Merchant Of Record per VRBO terms of service. Only your "service fee" charged by VRBO will show on your credit card statement as a charge from that company and rest shows separately as a charge from our local Savannah GA company. Please be sure anyone who oversees your credit card statement is aware of this to avoid any confusion. If you book on VRBO you will have already agreed to our basic rules and terms (no smoking, capacity limit, check in/out times, refund policy etc) on the VRBO checkout page. You will then need to digitally sign a rental agreement with our company after booking through VRBO. Nothing in our company rental agreement contradicts the posted terms on VRBO. If you have questions about how integrated software partners are trusted and approved by VRBO and all Expedia Group websites feel free to call them to inquire.

Thanksgiving trip

The house was able to accommodate all 11of us whether we were outside in the backyard, fixing Thanksgiving dinner or hanging out. The house is very well stocked in the kitchen, plenty of towels, soaps, etc. We hope to come and stay again.

Perfect stay for family event in Savanna

We traveled with our family of 6 adults, 6 children, and 2 service dogs to Savannah for my youngest son's wedding and this place was perfect for all of us! It was clean, spacious, and plenty of supplies for family breakfast before heading out to various wedding functions. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Clean

Great vacation getaway with family

We had 10 adults and 1 toddler and didn’t feel like we were top of each other. The house was beautifully built, clean and decorated. We felt at home away from home. There were no issues with the house. It’s in a great location and not far from downtown.

This was a trip for the females of our family. This was the first trip. We had 11 adults and 3 children. We enjoyed our stay. We barely wanted to leave the home to see the sites. We had everything we needed. The home was comfy cozy. A+

Really wonderful property

Great location- plenty of shops, restaurants, and things to do within walking distance of the house. Right in between downtown Savannah and Tybee Island. Inside- it was super clean and had everything we could have possibly needed for the trip. All the beds were comfortable and everyone in our party of 7 said they slept wonderfully. It was also nice to actually get to park in the garage. Outside- beautiful backyard, well maintained, perfect for the dogs and for hanging out. Tip for your stay: the shower nobs are a little confusing. If you can't find the hot water, make sure the handle is between 10 and 12 if you were looking at a clock.

Family Vacation

The house was clean, large enough to accommodate entire family. I loved the loft room. The kids were able to run free and play. My only suggestion is baby gates. We went out and bought 3 to accommodate our stay.

Beach blast

The house was amazing. There was plenty of room for everyone. The house is a ten minute walk to the grocery store and the liquor store(very important). The best part is there is a walking trail across the street that leads directly to the Savannah Country Club. We can't wait to come back here next year!

Great Vacation Spot

This house was beautiful & the owner thought of everything. The kids had the 3rd floor all to themselves. It had 2 twin, 2 fulls which one had another twin trundle bed. The kitchen was stocked with all the appliances you would need from an air fryer to mini waffle maker. The location was great. We were 20 mins from Tybee beach & 17 mins from River Street.

Retreat - Understatement

This Wilimington Island property is phenomenal. The hosts were very gracious in accommodating our dates (at the last minute) and our fur babies. The property is just as pictured and it does not disappoint; everything was highly functional and we found nothing that let us down. Should we ever go back to that area, we will use this home again and we are even considering setting up a reunion with our children at this location! Plenty of room - go enjoy this house!

Thanksgiving Stay

We had family travel from NY, NC and FL to stay at this wonderful house. We loved the open concept downstairs so those preparing our Thanksgiving meal could still be a part of conversations and family activities. The backyard was perfect for family football games and we loved the firepit. We also loved the third floor bunk room for the kids to stay in. (ages 8-13). The owner was very responsive the the questions I asked and the house if very well stocked. We plan on renting this house again.

A great property

We loved the house. Only negative is that the house is near a road with trucks going by during the week.It is very well equipped with many amenities. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could need. A very pretty house. We loved our stay there.

65th birthday party part 2

We are 9 friends that have known each other over 50 years. We had a great time the property was amazing. We have a few suggestions to improve the property. The front door needs to be covered with curtains or blinds. And there should be another full bathroom on the 3rd floor in the loft.

Friends advantage

The house was good there were items that the house could used. On one night we wanted to a movie and there was an issue with no connection to the TV. The set up on the third floor is weird and it should be more of a game room. There is no bathroom on the third floor.

Wonderful stay for our mini-family reunion!

Convenient location (to downtown or Tybee island) in a beautiful home where our family enjoyed everyday together. Very clean, way more space than our expectations, nice yard, plenty of parking…we talked about meeting again in this very home next time. Highly recommended by all in our party!

Why they chose this property

There are very few brand new homes available to rent in the island area just steps from restaurants and and a short drive to Downtown and the Beach. This is a true gem.

What makes this property unique

This is a breath of fresh air when it comes to a stress-free location for your group's lodging in the Savannah area. Forget about fighting for parking spots to unload your car or getting stuck in Downtown traffic. Don't worry about night life, ghost tours or parties talking loudly by your windows waking you up every night. Just enjoy the very best of island neighborhood living minutes from all the touristy things you want to do on Tybee or in the Historic District.
