The house on Moon River is the perfect marriage of comfort and outdoor accessibility. We brought our boat with us and the proximity of the boat ramp and floating dock at the house made it a breeze. We caught plenty of redfish and blue crabs from the dock out back. If you want to get off the beaten path to fish and enjoy the outdoors this place checks all the boxes. Owners were super easy to work with and check in/out was very easy.

Beautiful Home and Great Location! Lisa is very responsive and a wonderful host. The younger adults enjoyed the pool and did a bit of fishing off the pier. The house had everything we needed....accommodations were very comfortable with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. I highly recommend Moon River House! We are hoping to book again for our next Savannah trip!

the house is so spacious and laid out perfectly to give everyone enough space. It is a truly relaxing environment. If you love comfortable beds, swinging on the porch, swimming in the pool (that has some great shade!) and boating/fishing....this is the place for you!

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend getaway with the entire family! Although the house had TVs in every room, we never needed them—there was just too much to enjoy outside. Between the sparkling pool and the gorgeous dock, there was always something to do: fishing, kayaking, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water. The home was spotless and decorated with a charming beach theme that made it feel cozy and welcoming. Our host was excellent—quick to respond and so helpful with any questions. Most importantly, The Moon River House gave our family the perfect place to unwind, laugh, and make lasting memories together. We're already planning our next trip to return!

A Fun, Family Getaway

The Moon River House provided all our family needed for an amazing week away. From fishing on the dock to soaking up the sunshine by the pool, there was so much for everyone to enjoy. Let’s also talk about location! The house was in perfect distance to both Tybee and Savannah, allowing us to visit both the beach and historic landmarks.Above all, Lisa was wonderful to work with and was quick to respond if we had any questions. We look forward to coming back!

Great spring weekend getaway!

We stay at a lot of nice VRBO houses, and this was among our favorites. The fishing and kayaking right from the dock are great activities. And the house is well maintained and functional, plus spacious with great views. Lisa is easy to communicate with and super nice. We hope to be back!
