Whitemarsh Island,
Savannah, Georgia

Just 10 minutes from historic downtown Savannah and 15 minutes from Tybee Island — perfectly positioned between the two.

Whitemarsh Island sits on the Georgia coast between two of the South's most beloved destinations. Historic downtown Savannah offers cobblestone streets, antebellum architecture, world-class dining, ghost tours, and the famous Forsyth Park fountain. Tybee Island — Georgia's beach — offers Atlantic surf, the iconic Tybee Lighthouse, and the laid-back coastal charm the area is known for. The surrounding coastal marshes are home to dolphins, egrets, and some of the most stunning sunsets on the East Coast. Mossy Tides Retreat puts you at the center of it all.

🍂 Fall 2026 · What's On

Fall is one of the best times to visit Savannah — crisp evenings, fewer crowds, and the city absolutely comes alive for spooky season. Savannah is consistently ranked one of America's most haunted cities, and October brings ghost tours, haunted pub crawls, and eerie walking tours through the historic squares. It's the perfect backdrop for a family gathering or a group getaway — spend your days exploring the fall color along the moss-draped avenues, and your evenings around the fire pit, in the hot tub, or challenging each other in the game room. Thanksgiving and fall family reunions are a specialty at Mossy Tides — with space for 8 guests, a full kitchen, and an 8-person dining table, there's plenty of room to gather, cook, and make memories.
