Best Location!

The Captains Cottage is just a short walk to the Riverfront's party life, yet distant enough to enjoy quiet time also. We thoroughly enjoy our time at this retreat. The owners are gracious and welcoming- defining southern hospitality! The furnishings are comfortable, the beds were comfortable. The lighting is divine. I would highly recommend this rental - Five Stars!

Excellent host and stay! We will be back. We have stayed several places in Savannah and this place was by far the best we’ve stayed at. We thought we would need items at the store, and everything was already there! I highly recommend the Captain’s Cottage.

Warm and welcoming

Great location! Near many shops, restaurants, squares/parks and river in the historic district. Captain’s Cottage is notably popular. The hosts are wonderful and we plan to stay again longer next time. Suggest that if you stay at this location for more than a weekend, get a parking pass at the Bryan Street parking garage. Easy and allows you to sleep in when meters are in affect 8 am-8 pm.
