The Moon River House was a perfect spot for our family of six. Beautiful home with plenty of space and a gorgeous view of river. Close to grocery and easy trip into Savannah city. Host was lovely and answered all of our questions quickly. Thank you, Lisa. We can’t wait to come back!

The home was clean and comfortable and well stocked. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and the views of the river were peaceful. The location was an easy drive to a large grocery store and good restaurant choices. Lisa was very responsive and helpful. We hope to rent this property again. Thank you!

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.

This property fit the bill for our weekend. Amazing views, open floor plan and gas fireplace (the weather didn't quite cooperate).
Lisa is an amazing and responsive host. We couldn't have asked for a better place! We will be back!!

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!

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.

I can’t say enough good things about Lisa and the Moon River House! It was the perfect house for my best friends bachelorette weekend. The house is gorgeous, the beds are super comfortable, Lisa has the house stocked with anything you could need for a great weekend! It felt like a hotel, down to the mints on our beds! Will definitely be renting again!

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!

The Moon River House is a great getaway with gorgeous views, wildlife, and fun! Our family enjoyed the spacious pool, the comfy furniture, and fishing off the dock. The home has great amenities and is our favorite vrbo yet!

This property is amazing! Truly feels like a little resort getaway! The sleeping spaces are such high quality. The pool was perfectly clean and warm for our pool day. Couldn’t be happier with our weekend.

This home was great! There is nothing better than waking up on the river! Having your own private dock was great and jumping in the pool to beat the heat or using the dedicated ice maker for a cold drink! Close to downtown Savannah!

Great house with very responsive host! So many thoughtful personal touches with even a gift bag nicely welcoming us at the entrance. You can tell the host and owners put so much love into this home. Nice quiet location with grocery store close by.

This location had it all. We saw dolphins in the river, caught crab, fished, saw rainbows, paddle boarded, and swam. We spent a day at the beach and spent time in historic Savannah. The pool was perfect and the house was the perfect size and beautiful. I am so glad we picked this location. Couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.

A beautiful property and setting.
Lisa was great to work with, and everything exactly as described.
Convenient location, but also remote enough to be very relaxing.

My family and I stayed at the Moon River House for a long weekend and had the most wonderful time! There was truly something for everyone--fishing, kayaking, birdwatching, reading, board games--and we were so sad to leave. The pool was a bit too chilly to enjoy, but later in June-August it would be incredible. The scenery is gorgeous, the location is ideal--close to Savannah and plenty of stores, yet secluded and peaceful--and we can't wait to go back.

This place was great for a large family vacation. You had everything that you could have possibly thought of which made the vacation even better. It was nice to travel from Illinois without packing your house as well to be comfortable with a 2 and 4 year olds. The pool was a little chilly so if you plan to use it I would book during the summer. The beds were so comfortable, clean and relaxing. Outside was breath taking as we fished, set crab traps, swam, sunbathed, and took advantage of the cover deck. Could not have asked for a better stay, well only one ask better weather as we had to cut our trip a day short due to it. Only reason I rated a 4 star is because in the last day the power kept going out and stayed out for a bit (due to weather of course.) a small back up generator might be a good investment to keep the renter at ease that anything that might be damage due to a surge they would not be liable for. But…..the host was extra attentive due to this issue and stayed in great contact with me as I panicked a bit because of it. They even went out of their way to draw us a map to get around due to down trees because of this storm. We will 100% be back!

The home is beautifully comfortable with a serene location. Close enough to fun activities and restaurants as well. Lisa is very accommodating and we were so grateful for all that she did to make our stay great. Highly recommend!

The home on Moon River was awesome! The furnishings and decor were beautiful. The layout of the house was great and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need. The view of the pool and river was amazing from within the house. We enjoyed relaxing on the back porch every afternoon. We even saw some dolphins in the river! The location was convenient- about 20 minutes from downtown Savannah. Lisa was very responsive and answered all our questions. She even provided additional board games and some lovely treats for our stay. We had a great time in Savannah and would love to stay at the Moon River house again!

Everything here was absolutely wonderful!
Beautiful location, home and surrounding views.
The dock was great for sitting and watching and for fishing from.
There were dolphins a couple of mornings.
Inside had everything we needed and was very spacious.
The hosts were wonderful as well. Very communicative and friendly!
We will definitely come back to this home for as long as it is available!!

We stayed at this property with friends and we loved our first time experience in Savannah (we wish we had a few more days)! The house was clean, the property was beautiful, and the host Lisa was so sweet and accommodating for all of our needs (jason as well, he taught us Minnesotans how to crab)! We hope to come back soon very soon. ☺️

Lisa's place is gorgeous! Absolutely spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. The beds and linens were super comfortable, as were the couches and common spaces - ideal for group lounging. You really don't have to bring anything but your clothes - all the linens and towels you could need are there, as well as soap, laundry detergent, shampoo/conditioner, toilet paper and paper towels. The dock was super fun - you can jump off at high tide for a swim and the kayaks made it fun to explore the river. We even caught a few crabs. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly - great for morning jogs. Lisa was a tremendously gracious and attentive host - super responsive and proactive in anticipating our needs. She even let our kids jump on their trampoline anytime.
Had we visited in the peak of summer, we would have given Moon River five stars without hesitation, but the chilly pool was a bummer. It's technically heated via a solar heater, but functionally it is only usable on hot days with full sun (and even then only after there have been a couple hot days in a row to let the water reach a brisk 74 degrees). A heated pool is the big draw for spring break for us, since our kids pretty much want to live in the pool all day. But it was just too cold for even the kids to enjoy for longer than 30min or an hour at a time on warm days - the adults didn't get in much at all. If you don't need a warm pool, this would be the perfect place year round, but April was unfortunately too early for us to enjoy the biggest selling point.

We absolutely loved our stay here-Exactly as described and pictured. It was close enough to Savannah for us to go explore for a few hours. We also enjoyed a visit to Tybee Island. We loved the dock to fish off, watch dolphins, and enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Lisa was an amazing hostess and was readily available. We highly recommend staying here.

The Moon River House was perfect for our Wisconsin group. We had a mix of adults and young children, and everyone was satisfied! Sleeping was very comfortable, bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked. The family room and porch seating was comfortable for everyone. The best part of the house was the outside area. Our group swam in the pool and thoroughly enjoyed the pier. We saw a dolphin one day, caught crabs in the traps, and pulled in a fish too! The kayaks were a great touch as well. Watching the scenery and wildlife change with the tides was really fun for everyone, especially the kids. There were a couple hiccups with the pool, mostly out of Lisa’s control. This time of year the pollen was awful, so it needed to be shocked and cleaned often during our stay. And the new solar heater, while included in the cost, did not hear the pool much higher than about 72 degrees. On the couple hot/humid days, this was fine! But it was hard for the littlest kiddos to get in and enjoy it.
That said, if I were to travel to Savannah with a large group again, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Lisa was SO accommodating — responsive, generous, and helpful.
Thank you, Moon River House!

From the moment we drove up to the day we left, our experience at the Moon River House was nothing short of amazing. Our host was so hospitable - from the sweet treats awaiting us on arrival to going out of the way to make sure we experienced the best the Savannah area had to offer. The home was well appointed with enough space for 8 adults to spread out. Every morning we took our coffee to the end of the dock to watch the beautiful sunrise over the Moon River. We enjoyed the clean pool almost daily and the porch bed swing was divine. The Moon River House exceeded our expectations. We were blessed to have experienced Savannah hospitality at its best!

I would definitely rent this property again. The dock was amazing and the Moon River beautiful.

Our group came to the area for a race and to sight see and the place was perfect for both. Everything was beautiful and the couches and beds were very comfortable to laze about on. At first my wife was concered about safety with the river and pool with out 6 year old daughter, but once we got there it was clear that everything was very secure and safe. My biggest problem with the property is that now I want to stay there when we come back to visit.

We had a phenomenal stay at the Moon River house! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this home. Spotlessly clean, quiet, beautifully decorated, comfy beds, well stocked kitchen. Loved the dock and pool and riverfront location. An easy 15 minute drive to the historic district but far enough away for wonderful peace and quiet! And thank you for the welcome goodies! We will absolutely be back!

We all really loved our stay on Burnside Island! The house is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures and very clean. We loved sitting around in the living room together and enjoying the view out the back over the water. Unfortunately, it was too cold to swim, but we will have come back when it’s warmer!

3 high school buddies having a reunion for our 50th birthdays. House was amazing and a short 25 minute drive to the heart of Savannah. Great views on the river and the dock was awesome.
