House was not only a great lodge decor, it was clean and everything you need. The deck is fabulous if you have dog! We had easy access and communication with owners! Thank you!
We had a lovely few days at the Moonshine Cabin. The cabin was dated but well equipped with everything you could possibly need, all of which was good quality. The place was spotless. The location was fabulous and just what we needed - quiet and peaceful. We could never tire of the view from the deck that overlooked the river. The only sound was the birds and an occasional passing boat. We can't wait to go back.
Great house and location for a relaxing getaway. Not too far of a drive if you need to go get groceries, but bring what you need so you wonât have to.
My wife, son, and I enjoyed our stay at the Moonshine cabin. Weather was not the best but the cabin was cozy and we just relaxed and used the dock to fish when we could. We will definitely return.
Very nice cabin but the back porch and covered dock overlooking the river steals the show!!! Dolphins pass by nearly every morning and evening. Owners are very attentive. Would love to come back in the fall.
Moonshine cabin met all our requirements: close enough to Savannah and Jekyll Island for day trips; far enough from neighbors so our dogs had room to play; something for the tween and teen to do while parents relaxed.
Even checking all the boxes, this cabin exceeded our expectations. Very clean, comfortable beds. Huge back deck complete with more than enough seating optionsâand even an outdoor TV!
My family had a great week at this cabin. Setting was ideal. We brought our own boat and really enjoyed going out to St. Catherineâs to drop anchor and spend the day. My boys fished from the dock every day. Caught many crabs by dropping a trap on the other side of the river. Dana was very helpful and quick to reply. Would definitely stay here again!
My sisters and I chose this property for our annual getaway. We enjoyed the peace and quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta/Savannah. The cabin is very cozy and well stocked. Although we did not have any luck catching fish from the dock we sure did enjoy trying every chance we got. We look forward to staying here again. If our brothers are lucky, we may invite them to join us the next time.
The Moonshine Cabin was great. The location of the property was beautiful. We enjoyed the panoramic view of the North Newport River from the cabin. The sunsets were epic. We had a lot of fun âcar hikingâ in the afternoons exploring this area. The beds were very,very,very comfortable. I believe they were brand new. Wonderful memory foam that felt like you were sleeping on a cloud! Kitchen outfitted with top of the line appliances and items to prepare any type of meal. There is a dual coffee/ Keurig maker. The communication with Dana, the property owner was quick. We are pesty seniors that canât figure out these fancy TVâS. The next door neighbor has a dogâŠRiver, a huge, adorable and âstick crazyâ yellow lab. Come and stay here just to meet him. I will never forget him and will never look at a stick again without thinking of him. Thanks yâall for a wonderful Christmas stay(they even had the cabin decorated and a tree!) canât wait to return to Colonels Island.
God, thank you! I felt so relaxed at this lovely, fantastic, beautiful, tremendous home! And I really enjoyed sitting on the dock "of the bay". We caught a few fish which we ate, and we saw one dolphin way out and a few jelly fish. The deck was tremendous and enjoyable; the breeze from the water was great! Never really hot! Plus they have ceiling fans on the dock. Man, I'm hoping to return here maybe next year or later. Worth the trip! Thank you, Dana!

Pros: Close to dock, dock is covered and has fans, running water cleaning station, pretty outdoor lights on dock and house deck, ice maker in freezer works well.
Cons: ice and water have a sulfur taste (bring bottled water), rugs are tripping hazard (especially in hall), dishwasher is not secured, no step-stool to reach cabinet shelves (I am 4â10), sheets on master bed slip, pots and pans handles heat quickly, dishes are no microwave friendly for they get hot quick, communication with manger was not as prompt as other places we have stayed, ceiling fans and lights not clearly marked.
Not a bad place but just could have been better. Please remember to bring skin-so-soft for the no-see-ums.
very clean rental, excellent ramps for older folks. overall great place. one side thought-ramps are great for older folks but old lowboy toilets are a pain in the rear! will stay again.
We had a very enjoyable stay. The cabin was so spacious. The back porch was a pleasant surprise.
The views were amazing and beautiful sunsets. And dolphin sightings were a plus.
Pros: dock was awesome, beautiful view, clean house, plenty of parking, right by a marina, price
Cons: fishing off the dock is difficult due to how deep the water is, how much the tides change and being on an oyster bed. We couldn't crab off the dock because it was too deep and we mostly only caught toadfish which was disappointing.
All in all it was a solid house. If you bring a boat, it would be amazing! But for what we wanted fishing wise, it could've been better.
