Mariner’s Rest | 4BR Game Room, Near Beach

Hi, I’m Gerald, owner and host of The Mariner’s Rest.
My wife and I put this home together with one kind of guest in mind: families and multi-gen trips that need room to spread out without feeling like they’re in a generic rental. Most of our guests are parents traveling with kids, grandparents, and often a dog or two — and that shapes every decision we make, from the fenced backyard to the baby gear to the two separate living areas.
Guests consistently tell me I’m the most responsive host they’ve worked with 90 of our 109 reviews mention communication directly. I take that seriously. Before your stay, message me with any questions about the kitchen, the yard, baby gear, or the neighborhood. During your stay, same thing I’m available by message or phone and I actually answer.
Looking forward to hosting you in Savannah.

We built The Mariner’s Rest specifically for families and multi-gen trips — the guests who need more than what a downtown hotel or a one-bedroom carriage house can give them.
What that looks like in practice:
• Two separate living areas so Grandma’s show and the kids’ game night don’t compete
• A dedicated game room with arcade machines and a PS5 that entertains ages 4 to 74
• A fully fenced backyard for up to 2 dogs — not just “pet-friendly on paper”
• Comfortable beds and quality linens (the single most-praised detail in our reviews)
• Baby gear ready on arrival: bassinet, high chair, monitor, books and toys
• Free driveway parking for 4 vehicles and a Level 2 EV charger
• A Thunderbolt location that gives you both downtown Savannah and Tybee Island in one trip
Our 109 reviews average 4.90 stars. 90 of them mention host responsiveness. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.
