Downtown Retreat Aboard Savannah Rae

Welcome aboard Savannah Rea, which is docked first in the 5th Street Marina’s gated houseboat community. Nestled in Downtown Augusta and sitting directly on the Savannah River, this incredible retreat provides impeccable day and night waterfront views from inside its quarters or any its outdoor spaces. The open floor plan features a spacious kitchen and living area and a queen sized guest suite with patio access that leads to the 700 sq.ft. rooftop patio. Maximum venue attendance is 10.

Savannah Rea’s front and back patios have ample seating arrangements and provide exceptional views of the Savannah River, 24 hours a day.

Its rooftop deck has an obstruction free view of Augusta's newest attraction, the Freedom Bridge which allows pedestrians to cross the natural state border between Georgia and South Carolina and the iconic 1912 Southern Railroad Bridge that is still active today.

An open concept living, dining and cooking space makes for entertaining very easy while also providing unforgettable views through the large windows and sliding glass doors. A 55” Roku TV is hung in the front corner to avoid sun glare. The futon folds out to a full-sized bed, high top table sits four, kitchen has a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, toaster oven and small cooking appliances to accommodate any type of meal preparation. Coffee itself is not provided but a K-Cup coffee maker and french press are both on the wet bar along with your everyday coffee additives. Due to the stove/oven being propane, it is disconnected and cannot be used and the dishwasher is out of service at this time also.

A full sized washer and dryer is available for use with your own supplies.

We don’t want any surprises when you arrive so these are the things to expect.

GLAMPING - The only difference between the houseboat and a camper is the ground beneath or lack thereof.

SAVANNAH RIVER - Many different species of wildlife call this home and will make a presence when the time is right. The exterior perimeter is sprayed often to lessen the chance of any insects from entering the boat. Keeping the windows and doors closed will also help tremendously. It is strongly encouraged NOT TO SWIM IN THE RIVER AND STRICTLY PROHIBITED NOT TO JUMP OFF THE TOP DECK INTO THE WATER. You will not be able to see clearly much father than 5ft in front of you when underwater. There are objects and wildlife on the bottom of the river, floating on top of the river and suspended everywhere else in between. Certain types of debris and/or certain types of species of animals that call the Savannah River home, can and will cause severe injury to you, your guests and/or pets, that could result in serious injury or death if any in which enter the water.

FISHING - Walmart (less than 10 minutes away) has a full fishing department where live bait can be purchased. Fishing is ONLY allowed off the boat itself, not the dock. Visit Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources website to purchase a fishing license and to read all rules and regulations before casting your line.

MARINE TOILET - Georgia's Department of Natural Resources has a zero-tolerance policy regarding waste entering the river. The marine toilet onboard is nearly identical to the one used at your home, except is controlled by toggle switches rather than a flush lever. The bathroom is stocked with marine grade toilet paper which is the only thing besides waste that should be flushed. A $1,000 charge applies to any waste system failure that is caused by a prohibited object being flushed.

PETS & ADDITIONAL GUESTS - DOGS ARE WELCOME. ALL OTHER PETS ARE NOT. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE ENTIRE PERIMETER OF THE BOAT'S DECK HAS AN OPEN RAILING WITH A TOTAL OF FIVE ENTRY/EXIT POINTS. THESE ENTRY/EXIT POINTS ARE ONLY GUARDED BY A SINGLE ROPE. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PET UNATTENDED WHILE HE OR SHE IS OUTSIDE. ALL GUESTS MUST BE 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER. NO EXCEPTIONS. GUESTS NOT ACCOUNTED FOR ON YOUR RESERVATION ARE PROHIBITED FROM STAYING OVERNIGHT. IF TWO OR MORE VISITORS (NOT ACCOUNTED FOR ON THE RESERVATION) COME ABOARD, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE SO I HAVE A HEADS UP INCASE THE MARINA MANAGEMENT TEAM ASKS.
