A Port in the Storm - Shangri La, Poolside Estate in Isle of Armstrong

This eclectically-styled coastal vacation home was inspired by a family trip to Mykonos, Greece in 2021. It has 4 proper bedrooms plus a lounge space that features a Twin daybed with extra trundle bed. The private saltwater pool in the backyard, with high-end paver patio, covered cabana space, and outdoor grill, will be your oasis during your vacation, corporate retreat or production hub between trips to the beach or downtown to shop and enjoy museums and fine dining. This compound is, ideally, situated right between Tybee Island / Whitmarsh Island and Downtown Savannah.

The primary bedroom suite boasts a King bed, en suite bathroom salon with a separate soaking tub plus large marble encased walk-in shower and a very generous verandah patio to enjoy the marsh view.

There is Jack & Jill Suite that has a Queen bed in one room and a pair of twins in the other. The last bedroom features a Full over Full bunk bed. The huge bonus lounge room has a Twin daybed with trundle Twin pullout. All bedrooms are upstairs in this home. We allow 8 adults and can sleep 10 including two under 18 years of age.

This is probably the most disappointing place that I have ever stayed at. I expected better quality for the amount of money I spent to stay here. It looks nice from a distance, but isn't well maintained. There are outlets with no covers, the toilets are loose, the paint is peeling off of the siding. The door handles on all of the bathrooms are loose. One of the biggest issues was that there wasn't enough water pressure in the master shower to even wash my hair. I had to use one of the other bathrooms to shower, and it still wasn't great. All of the towels smelled soured. It definitely wasn't cleaned very well. There was hair in every single shower. We bought cleaning supplies and cleaned everything before we used it. We made the best of a not so great situation. I would not stay here again.

Nice but a few issues

Upon arrival we found that the house was not well cleaned. We found Cheetos under the furniture, coffee pot and some dishes were not washed. Host apologized via message.Also had some issues with a wobbly toilet off the kitchen (host said there was not an issue after sending someone to look at it). It wobbles… beware. Also the power outlets in the kitchen had to be reset multiple times per day. Something is up with the electrical at this house. Furniture is musty. Feels like a decent rental that with some tlc could be a great one.Bright side, the pool was fun! You may have to save a crab or two during your stay.Location between Tybee and Savannah was very convenient.The house size is great. We could have brought a few friends.

Awesome family stay

Such a well decorated and thoughtful space! The set up was perfect for our group as it allowed everyone their own mix of privacy and together time. The pool was amazing. It really had everything we needed and more. The location was great for us to experience both downtown Savannah and Tybee island!

Wanted a quick low key getaway with my kids and this was perfect. My kids enjoyed the pool and having their own space instead of being cramped in a hotel. Ive already sent this listing to friends that are wanting to book.

Great place!

Very larger home with tons of space, inside and outside. Two living room areas. Bathrooms on each bedroom. Nice pool area. Very convenient to the beach or downtown Savannah. Master shower has low water pressure due to multiple heads. Other than that it’s a great vacation spot.

Perfect for a group

This house was absolutely perfect for a group of girls! We had my sisters bachelorette party here and the space was amazing. When we checked in the property was a little dirty but the communication with the host was great and they took care of it. The location was absolutely perfect. We even rented a boat on the river at the end of the street so we were able to walk. Highly recommend!

Beautiful

This is a beautiful property. We were a group of two families from North Carolina and Florida that included 4 boys ages 6-11. The house was large enough to accommodate the group of 8. The property is about 15 minutes by Uber into Savannah. It was brutally hot during our stay, but we didn’t mind because the kids were having so much fun in the pool. The property is well stocked and the furnishings are comfortable. I would stay at this property again.

Home away from home

The property was as described. Clean, spacious, and relaxing. All bedrooms are upstairs along with anoth living room area that the kids enjoyed. The pool was perfect for the smaller kids and bigger ones as well. The property manager was prompt with communicating when we reached out with questions. The only thing that is not a big deal was the water pressure if more than one person tried taking showers at the same time. But after the first night we just alternated shower times so it was not a huge issue. If we come back to the Savannah area again we will most definitely stay at this house again.

Perfect baseball week shared with friends

We were in town for a youth baseball tournament and this house was the perfect home for our family, along with two other families. The house had plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and space for people to spread out. The kitchen and pantry are large and can accommodate several people and lots of “stuff”. The pool and outdoor area was perfect. Being conveniently located close to grocery stores, restaurants, etc was ideal for us as well. You are right off of a busy road, but there is plenty of driveway space and an inner road that separates you from the busy road, no danger or inconvenience was presented by the busy road. The water pressure for showering was a bit of an issue if multiple people were trying to shower, but not a dealbreaker by any means. We had the best week and would highly recommend this property.

Beautiful home, loved the pool. Only thing is there are a lot of remotes for various things, wish they were labeled, had no idea what some of them were for and the TV in the main bedroom was hard to figure out and ceiling fan did not work. But those are minor things and would not deter me from renting this home again.

The house is on the highway!!!!

The house is amazing: beautifully renovated, comfortable, well distributed. The pool was very dirty the first day and the kids did not want to swim but the cleaner came on day 2 which was really great. However, be aware that the description is extremely misleading. It says it's ideally located. The reality is that it is the first house next to the highway which means the master bedroom is noisy... day and night... When I reported that inaccurate description after a really poor first night to the property manager, she told me I was very picky and should go sleep in the kids' rooms. Your call but considering the price (especially high season like us), it's a deal breaker to me. I won't book this house again despite the beautiful interior. You just want to be aware before making your decision!
