Summary:
Four bedroom, four bath coastal home on Wilmington Island, sleeping 10. It is about 10 minutes from Downtown Savannah and 15 minutes from North Tybee Beach, on more than an acre of marsh land with a hot tub and a gazebo. The Master Suite has a king bed and a private screened porch. Restaurants, bars and shopping on Wilmington Island are about 1 mile away.
Two Airstream campers on the same lot are separate rentals. Only the driveway and parking area are shared.
The Space:
Sleeps 10 in four bedrooms:
- Upstairs Master Suite: king bed, private screened porch

A full-size washer and dryer are in the laundry room. A covered porch off the living room has outdoor seating.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the driveway, the home, the front yard and the hot tub. The backyard and parking area are shared with guests staying in the two Airstream campers, who are asked to respect your privacy, and we ask that you respect theirs.
Hot tub: turn the temperature up an hour before use (we recommend 98 to 99 degrees) and lower it to about 90 when not in use. Keep the cover on when not in use. Do not stand or sit on the cover. No children under 12 in the hot tub, and unsupervised minors are not allowed. Overheating in a hot tub is not recommended during pregnancy, and use is at your own risk. Our housekeepers drain, sanitize and refill the tub before your arrival, so it may not be warm until later in the evening. A certified spa maintainer services it weekly, usually on Fridays.
The Neighborhood:
The home sits on the corner of Blue Heron Dr and Quarterman Dr, on 1.4 acres of private property with no immediate neighbors in front, behind or to either side. Quarterman Dr is the main road connecting Wilmington Island with Highway 80, so you may hear traffic in the morning and evening.
Getting Around:
Wilmington Island is about halfway between Tybee Island (15 minutes) and Downtown Savannah (10 minutes). Roads here have no sidewalks, so you will need a car or a rideshare. A Kroger is about a mile away, and Walmart, Publix and Kroger are all within 5 minutes. For emergencies, Urgent Care is open 24/7 in Whitemarsh (6 minute drive). The Chatham County Police Precinct and the closest fire station are each about 2.5 miles away.
Other Things to Note:
The Marsh Retreat has three separate listings on the property: this home and two Airstream campers. The only shared spaces are the parking area and the driveway. Unless they are part of your group, guests of the other listings are not allowed in the home or the front yard.
We stock starter quantities of toilet paper, paper towels and other consumables, enough for a typical 3-night stay.
Interaction with Guests:
We are available as much or as little as you want. We live close and are quick to answer by phone or in person. Our priority is that you have a great time and that your privacy is respected.
