The location of the house just couldn't be beat. We were able to walk everywhere and the neighborhood felt safe. The house itself was beautiful, very clean, and gave our group of four women enough room to have our own spaces but then congregate in the living room for fun and laughs. The host was very responsive to any questions we had. We are hoping to come back and stay again!

Not baby/toddler friendly

Nice property, just not ideal for little kids. Beautiful weather, able to utilize the courtyard to play. It’s a “grown up” house. Decorated nicely, with large furniture and lovely (breakable) decor. Glad we were out and about most of the weekend. Didn’t enjoy the neighborhood noise- cars playing loud music, motorcycle engines revving; typical city sounds, however, the walls are not very sound proof. The original staircase is lovely but makes a ton of noise , while using, when the whole house is sleeping. Lastly, had a jolting incident with other tenants. After being on the property for a few hours , cleaning up after dinner, tenants of the “Carriage House” walked right into the front door insisting they were the rightful tenants of the main house. It almost got heated and took me quite a while to explain they had rented the “apartment above the garage”, which the owner described as a “Carriage House”. Spoke with the owner after explaining the situation. The owner uses the address of the main house for dir renting the 2 bed apartment. My advice- please refer to that property as “apartment above garage” rather than “Carriage House”. This whole situation would have been avoided if these tenants understood the correct description of the 2 bed property they rented.

Great Historical Home

A great space for our family of 6. Loved the quirks and beauty of the home. Grateful for the space to park in the garage, well equipped kitchen (for our needs), dining space, seating for all of us in the living room, and it was exceptionally clean. We walked EVERYWHERE! Great restaurants and historical sites nearby and close to the river. We are a family of walkers, so this was perfect. The only down side - the bath in the room with the king bed has NO storage (other than the edge around the tub and an 18” shelf) and minimal convenient storage in the bedroom. It was our room, and we made do. Despite this, we would stay again.

Great house for an unforgettable weekend!

We had a girls trip with 8 of us. Everyone flew in and one drove, she was able to park in the garage. We didn’t need to use the car once though, we could walk or take a quick Uber anywhere we needed to go. The house was beautiful, comfy beds, great AC glow and be try nice bathroom setup for 8 women. We had a blast. Our only challenge was the key lockbox at the front door. A few girls had trouble closing it but I think that was more user error. Otherwise, zero complaints! Amazing house and amazing trip!!

Historic home in Washington Sq Savannah

Home is exactly as pictured; historic charm with antique furniture. The dining chairs were very delicate so sit with caution. The beds are beautiful and very comfortable!! The bathrooms are luxurious! The home accommodated 8 adult women and gave us a special sense of the South. Location landed us in all our desired landmarks within 10-15 mins! The furthest walking distance was 30 mins to Forsyth Park. There was several homes in the neighborhood under construction but it did not interfere with our fabulous time!

Excellent property that was beautifully and historically renovated. Walking distance to the historical downtown, several squares, and also easy walk to the river front. Lots of restaurants in the area. We parked the car and walked to everything! Beds and baths were Wonderful. Kitchen was ready to use. Shared back patio with the Carriage House rental unit was a little strange, but did not cause too much concern. Excellent place to stay!

Birthday Visit to Savannah

This property was better than the listing pictures portrayed and we enjoyed our stay. The decor was historic yet the kitchen and baths were modern and updated. The master bath is especially nice and large. We traveled with a group of 10 and there was plenty of room for everyone. The beds were comfortable and the linens were luxurious and comfortable as well. There is a nice sunroom and a courtyard for everyone to enjoy. The location was great and we walked to everything except the grocery store which is not very far away either. The property manager is responsive and everything that was described to us for check in and check out was accurate. We plan to return to Savannah again to visit and will definitely look into the property if we are with a large group.
