On a corner of Monterey Square stands a dreamy, cream-colored stucco home with soft-green shutters and a story to tell. Initially constructed in 1858 by prominent Savannah architect John S. Norris for the Rev. Charles B. King, the historic residence has come a long way since. Today, under the care of homeowners Farrell Click and Hemal Patel, it begins its most personal chapter yet, adorned with three hand-painted murals by local artist Julia McGahee: a nature scene in the dining room, a Savannah scene with meaningful landmarks in their daughter’s room, and a stamp motif depicting their travels in their son’s room.

Before Southern hospitality, there was Scottish hospitality. Taverns, alehouses, and inns, dating as far back as the 14th century, welcomed locals and transients alike. Some of that Scottish hospitality has crossed the undulating Atlantic and made its way to Tybee Island in the form of a gem called The Kelpie, a come-as-you-are bistro owned and run by Chef Gordon Card and his wife, Whitney. Staples include fisherman’s pie, Guinness stew, Scotch eggs, a specialty Mamie Taylor, and a healthy amount of craic. Read more here: https://savannahmagazine.com/taste/whats-crackin-at-the-kelpie/

You’ve most likely driven by this property on U.S. 80 hundreds of times and wondered what could possibly be behind all those trees on this odd little spit of land between the Thunderbolt and Grays Creek bridges, right across the road from the Isle of Armstrong.

The answer: a cramped little cabin built in 1925. The structure and its two accompanying out-buildings sat vacant for nearly 50 years until local contractor Paul Miller arrived. When he toured the property in 2023, it was densely covered with vegetation. There was no running water, no plumbing, and the floor was rotted out. “It was an absolute mess,” he says.

But Miller is good at seeing the potential in things and has transformed this derelict property, which he calls the Shrimp Camp, into an airy, spacious, relaxing retreat. Read more and see more photos here: https://savannahmagazine.com/homes/abandoned-shrimp-camp-gets-new-life/

Our "Life on the Water" Issue is here! Tap the shopping icon to buy. Here's just a little bit of what you'll find inside ...

Slow down and discover — or rediscover — some of the reasons Daufuskie Island is so special. It's quirky, spiritual, close-knit, dripping with history, and practically in its own time zone.

For coastal vibes closer to home, try the hidden gem we found on Tybee Island. The Kelpie Bistro & Pub offers relaxed Scottish-Southern hospitality that’s ideal after a day at the beach.

Next, get a behind-the-scenes look at the "Shrimp Camp," that mysterious property along US 80 (across from Isle of Armstrong) that has been vacant for 50 years. Yeah, that one! Well, the property’s latest owner, Paul Miller, has restored it into a coastal retreat, and you really need to see it.

Then, meet us at the Sun Club, the Municipal Grand's swanky rooftop pool, for a fashion shoot focused on swimwear and inspired by the work of Slim Aarons.

Lastly, get familiar with (and thank) Shell to Shore, a nonprofit that recycles oyster shells from restaurants to help replenish our shorelines. Oysters serve as valuable filters in our coastal waters, and without a healthy stock of shells in the water, oysters have nowhere to grow, and their benefits to the sea life around them disappear.

ALSO IN THIS ISSUE:

Our special health supplement is filled with tips on how to age with power and grace.

Marbled & Fin balances its extensive wine list to satisfy steak connoisseurs and seafood lovers dining at the same table.

British Naval cannons dating back to the American Revolution went from the bottom of the Savannah River to being permanently displayed at the Savannah History Museum.

Kaylee Hettenbaugh, owner of Mirror Image Fish Printing, uses gyotaku, a Japanese method of fish printing dating back to the 19th century, to record that special catch for posterity.

On any given Friday, you might find Brenda and Robert Anderson doing what they’ve come to cherish most at this stage in life: slipping out for a lunch date, like a cozy meal at The Black Rabbit or soaking in the views at The Wyld Dock Bar.

It’s a small ritual but one that speaks volumes about the couple behind Tapley’s Mercantile and Antiques. After 45 years of marriage and six years into their first business together, Brenda and Robert have built something that extends far beyond the walls of their store on the corner of Waters Avenue and East Montgomery Cross Road. Tapley’s is, in many ways, a reflection of their life together: joyful, welcoming, and personal.
