Paradise on Whitemarsh Island - Savannah

Recently returned from a weekend stay at this home. I was exactly as described. Thoroughly cleaned, comfortable, well decorated and in a quiet residential neighborhood. I was there for a Savannah Bananas game and location was very convenient. If I come back I hope to rent this place again if it is available. Oscar was quick to respond to the messages I sent. Messages were primarily questions . No issues.

The photos definitely highlight the good and hide the bad. “Misleading” would be an understatement, while calling this property a “paradise” would be a significant overstatement.The property gives the impression that maximizing the owners’ return with minimal investment is the primary theme. Very little TLC appears to have gone into the property. It feels like cleaning is about the extent of the ongoing upkeep, with updates and improvements seemingly not on the agenda.The property is dated, with worn cabinets, grimy bathrooms, chipped paint, and other signs of wear throughout (e.g. the master shower head clearly isn’t designed for the space). Even the TVs in the bedrooms are extremely small, about the size of a computer monitor. The 500 security deposit for a property charging 270 per night also feels excessive and is difficult to justify given the condition of the home.That said, it’s not a terrible property for the price. It’s functional and certainly livable, but the presentation online sets expectations that the actual property doesn’t quite meet. I’m a frequent traveler, so I recognize that I may have higher standards than some guests. But objectively, I think the owners could invest a little more into the property and improve the overall guest experience. There’s a decent property underneath it all, but it feels like it’s being operated for maximum return rather than maximum guest satisfaction.

Great stay!

I think it is a good, affordable choice for the area Positive: I liked how clean and decorated the house was, I thought the bed in the master room was very comfortable, I liked the TV and having a place to grill and roast marshmallows, and how the house comfortably fit my other 5 guests. I also love how there are extra beach towels, lawn chairs, etc. for convenience. Negative: Certain things of the home seemed halfway put together. For example, the shower heads installed were not fitting for the home, so the water pressure was very low. The remote to the light and fan kept glitching in the master room, so most of the time the overhead light wouldn't come on. Two of the guests complained that one of the beds was hard and uncomfortable, but the others seemed good.

Nice place to stay. Oscar was very attentive.
