About this property

Charming Cottage - Completely Renovated. Close To Downtown Savannah And Tybee

1950s Cottage. Extremely quiet neighborhood - wonderful place for a stroll with view of the tidal marsh and Half Moon River. Lighted tennis courts within walking distance. 12 miles from downtown Savannah or Tybee Island. Completely renovated. All new appliances (all electric - not gas burning), systems, furnishings. Beds have luxury linens and excellent mattresses. 60 inch Samsung flat screen. Comcast cable with premium channels and 75 MBS internet connection.

We do allow dogs -NOT cats due to family member's allergy- but require that you confirm with us that they are on flea control. They are not allowed on furniture or bedding as this creates so much additional work for our housekeeper. Please be sure to read the pet policy and other house rules and contact us
We also have outdoor cameras viewing the front and back yard. We DO NOT have any indoor cameras.

Another great Tybee trip!!!

We really loved the location, it was very quiet, close to shopping and restaurants, and not too far from Tybee Island. The house itself was perfect for us, very clean, everything worked, and plenty of towels.

Wilmington island cottage

Overall it was a fantastic experience. Only concern I had was lack of paper products (paper towels and toilet tissue) but we had a Publix nearby so it wasn’t a showstopper. That being said we would definitely visit again

The cottage was a beautiful stay right across the street from the marsh. The neighborhood was quiet and gave a feel you weren’t 15-20 minutes from downtown Savannah. Plan to stay here again.

Great place to spend Thanksgiving!

This place was clean, quiet and perfect for us and our two pups. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and then some extras! Beds were comfy too which is always a big plus for us. Convenient location between Tybee and Savannah. I hope to be back after retirement.

This was our third stay at the Charming Cottage, and it continues to be our favorite getaway spot near Savannah. Every time we return, it feels like stepping into a peaceful retreat—cozy, welcoming, and full of charm.The location is perfect: close enough to enjoy the energy and history of downtown Savannah, yet just a short drive to the relaxing beaches of Tybee Island. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring.The cottage is always spotless and thoughtfully furnished, with everything we need for a comfortable stay. We especially love the outdoor space for morning coffee and evening chats, and the beds are incredibly comfortable.Jack is a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and clearly dedicated to making each visit special. His attention to detail and hospitality make all the difference.We’re already looking forward to our next visit. This cottage has truly become a cherished part of our travel tradition.

Cute Cottage

Be aware, finding this house in the dark can be a challenge. The cottage is comfortable and clean. The, surprising exception to cleanliness is the bathroom, in particular, replacing the icky shower liner would be a simple step to raising the cleanliness of the bathroom the the level of the rest of the cottage. Thank you!

Beautiful cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute little Cottage, and definitely would stay there again, it was quiet and they let us bring our little dog with us, unlike the beach where he (or any dog) wasn't welcome at all sadly . This was vacation for all of us and a place to call "home" while away from every day hassle . Next time, we would love to meet the owners.

About the host

Hosted by Jack Howkins

Host profile image
We live a few doors away from the cottage. We bought the cottage not just to rent, but also for our growing family - 11 grandchildren so far!

Why they chose this property

We love the neighborhood and the neighbors. The street is very quiet - great place to take a walk. Public park and tennis courts within walking distance. Beautiful views of the marsh as you walk down the street.

What makes this property unique

Quiet and peaceful yet close to the action of either downtown or Tybee. Great restaurants (Lili's and Basil's) and two grocery stores on the island.
