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!

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!

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!

The interior was clean but the outside area where our family enjoys the pool and relaxing on the patio was not clean or appealing. There where things like bathtub clog the first night of our stay and no lights in the showers (which we had to replace) shower heads where clogged the first night and I feel the cleaning staff should have known this so I was not completely sure showers and tubs had been cleaned so had to clean them myself to feel safe for my family of 10 to use. Because of these issues I who have been renting vacation homes for 20 years would rate the property a 5 out of 10

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!

Beautiful peaceful place!

I cannot say enough about this wonderful rental. Truly we stay in many wonderful VRBO rentals, but this was one of the best! Started and ended our days on the back porch with its fabulous (peaceful) river view. In between had easy access to wherever we wanted/needed to go thus excellent location. House has so many extra touches; wine cooler, ice maker, air pump (for pool floats), kayaks, fishing poles...whatever one needed seemed to be there. The lovely surroundings (front and back) added to the comfortable and welcoming feel of this exquisite home. You can't go wrong with a stay at Moon River House.
