Location, Location, Location!

If you want a place that is walkable to major places of interest in Savannah, this is where you want to stay! This older, quaint two bedroom, two bath cottage has everything a vacationer would need. The house is sweetly decorated with what looks like a newly renovated kitchen. The property manager sent us detailed information about the house and parking before our arrival and was just a call away if needed. We would definitely stay here again.

Best Location!

The Captains Cottage is just a short walk to the Riverfront's party life, yet distant enough to enjoy quiet time also. We thoroughly enjoy our time at this retreat. The owners are gracious and welcoming- defining southern hospitality! The furnishings are comfortable, the beds were comfortable. The lighting is divine. I would highly recommend this rental - Five Stars!

Cottage review

My wife and I loved this property. It had things you usually don’t find such as washer and dryer, some personal hygiene products, laundry products, etc. AND, it’s within walking distance to River St without the noise of staying right on River St. you also have to pay park during the day, 8am-8pm but it’s not bad. I think it says it tops out at 20 for parking but it probably cost us 10 or less. Will definitely stay here again!
