Beautiful property
Moon River House is a beautiful property inside and out. We had a wonderful time hanging out by the pool and sitting out on the dock (we even saw river dolphins!). The home itself is clean and beautifully decorated. Great communication with the owner. A quiet neighborhood close to downtown Savannah. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Moon River! The views with our coffee in the morning were spectacular. We were a group of 8 ladies and had ample space! We enjoyed our dinner overlooking the water an spotting some wildlife. We would love to come back!

Lovely views of the water
Well-equipped home about 20 minutes out of Savannah, and a little further to Tybee Island. We had our immediate family with us, including 2 little ones. and spent most of our time on the property. There were some good golf courses nearby, and parts of our group golfed several days. We did manage to catch a crab or two off the pier. The sunrise views over the pier were beautiful. The pool was nice, if a little chilly. It warmed up enough for us to enjoy it the last few days we were there. The host was very responsive and accommodating . The pool guy was friendly and gave us some good recommendations. Parking was private, off the main road. The primary bedroom was very nice, with a great view.

Amazing stay!
We had an amazing stay here! It’s a spacious home on a beautiful piece of property. The home was very clean, cozy and also kid-friendly. Our kids had fun jumping in the pool and enjoyed watching the different fish and marine life swim by the dock. The host (Lisa) was very responsive and welcoming! We hope to be back to this part of the world one day and would certainly stay here again. To anyone debating booking here, I’d highly recommend it!

Relax and Refresh
We are a group of four couples who found the house spacious and accommodating for all our needs. The rooms were large and there was plenty of room for us to spread out and enjoy the beauty of southeastern Georgia. We had wonderful communication with the property owner, Lisa. She was very responsive, gracious, and welcomed us with a goodie bag. The pool looks wonderful, but it was too cool for any of us to try it. If you are interested in spending a lot of time experiencing Savannah, this is a little ways away. For us, however, we appreciated the distance from the crowds and bustle, while still having the city nearby. We spent a full day in Savannah, and another on Tybee Island. We recommend Wormsloe Historic Site, just a few miles away. There are a number of great restaurants nearby. The one issue was that there were a lot of sand gnats swarming while we were there. This is beyond the control of anyone, but repellents with deet don't work. We have heard, but did not try, that eucalyptus oil or lavender oil work well as repellents. A great place. We highly recommend.

Family Thanksgiving
Our family of 9 adults, ages 33-77, stayed quite comfortably in this beautiful Moon River House. We all had a great time, enjoying both the outside and lovely inside spaces. If the weather had been warmer, we would have used the pool and done some river activities. We had a great day in Savannah, shopping and enjoying an early dinner at Vic’s on the River. We would definitely return to this lovely place on the river.

A little slice of heaven!
This property was the perfect home base for our family vacation. The mornings on the water were beautiful and the layout of the home was exactly what we needed for three couples and a toddler. It was well stocked and there were lots of great amenities. Unfortunately the pool heater wasn't working so it was too cold to use the pool but I can imagine on a hot summer day how lovely it would be! We still snuck in a few 60 degree swims :) Highly recommend!

Wonderful Getaway!
We stayed in this beautiful home as a small group of women looking for relaxation and it provided exactly that. Location was perfect and it was so quiet and serene on the canal. We enjoyed the pool and the great dock for sunsets. The home is about 20 minutes from downtown and we viewed it as the perfect distance from being away from the bustle when we wanted to be and easy to get to when we did. Lisa was wonderful to communicate with! No issues at all.

Family on the river
We had an amazing long weekend at the Moon River House. Two out-of-state brothers (and a cousin from Nebraska!) came to visit with Savannah based brother and their mother. We had a great time enjoying big family meals, telling stories, and catching up around the table. We lounged on the covered porch, watched the river from the dock, swam, and fished for hours. Being there was the perfect blend of activity and restful chilling out. Thank you to Lisa! We hope to be back some day!
