Hockey Tournament Weekend with Extended Family for

The home was spacious and beautifully decorated, providing plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. We loved the open-concept living area, which made it easy for us to gather together for meals and spend quality time. We recommend bringing items like aluminum foil, seasoning, and serving utensils if you plan on cooking.The location was great, with nearby attractions that catered to both adults and kids, adding to the overall experience. There were a ton of restaurants in walking distance and it was nice that parking was free on the weekends and after 5:00 on weekdays. Our host was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They provided clear instructions for everything and even reached out to check if we needed anything.Overall, our family had a wonderful time, and we would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a great getaway. We hope to return in the future!

Family Reunion

Our group of 8 adult cousins, uncles, and spouses truly enjoyed gathering at this gorgeous home from all over US. The hosts were extremely welcoming and communicative. We were able to be very close to view the St. Patrick’s Parade, enjoy Forsyth Park, and walk to the downtown attractions. Having family breakfast was wonderful at the large dinning table.

Beautiful historic home in the center of downtown Savannah!

Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday at this beautiful home. All ages (3-71) had a great time! The house was clean, full of all the essentials we could need, and the hosts were so kind and responsive to all our questions. Steps from Forsyth park, a playground, and the many wonderful sites of Savannah! We highly recommend staying here!

Beautiful home

I really enjoyed my stay at this beautiful home in an awesome location. My only complaints are the limited number of towels (I think there should've been at least 2 for each guest...just my opinion) and there should be more trash bags provided, especially with a cleaning fee of over $400 (we had 1 trash bag for our 3 day stay). Otherwise, the owners were very responsive and we're so thankful to have found this home last minute after a previous VRBO owner canceled on us.

Reunion

My family and I stayed at this property and it was a great space to stay 5 days. Half a block from the park, several blocks from shops and restaurants. I used the carriage house to seclude my little one to keep her on a sleep schedule, it also allowed the family to socialize without disturbing her. The courtyard was also a great space to have conversations about anything and everything. Highly recommend.

Reunion of Sorority Sisters

this home was perfect for our reunion. We are a group of 70 year old sorority sisters. The home is beautiful and in a great location, particularly for walking. We were able to walk around Forsyth Park and the SCAD Sidewalk Art Festival was going on during the stay. The large living room was perfect for sitting around and visiting, which we loved! Thank you so much for hosting!

A Memorable Family Christmas

The property worked well for our extended family of 10. When we first walked in and saw the Christmas tree, we knew we'd made a good choice. We appreciated having bedrooms & beds for everyone and a dining table large enough for us to sit together for meals. The location is perfect. We enjoyed being able to walk to so many of the places we wanted to see/explore/eat at. We all enjoyed the Saturday farmer's market in Forsythe Park and the restaurant there on another day. The free DOT busses were only a block or two away, making it easy to visit the waterfront with its many shops and restaurants. Even a grocery store was only a short walk away. Savannah is a beautiful city and the hosts were responsive to our needs. Thank you for a memorable, family Christmas.

Perfect spot for a large crew

We had our wedding in Savannah in October and this is where I housed my side of the family. The house was beautiful and had all of the space we needed. And it was awesome to have the carriage house room all to myself for some peace and quiet between festivities. Jessica was so responsive and kind with all of my questions. Can't wait to come back again! And the location was incredible for quiet walks in the beautiful Forsyth Park.

Best family vacation!!

First, the pictures don’t do this home justice! It was immaculate, historic and beautifully maintained! It had all the modern needs mixed with beautiful history. The host was wonderful, communicative and very accommodating to the needs of my large family. It was an easy and scenic walk into town and we were right next to Forsyth Park. Not only would I highly recommend staying here, but my family has decided we would like to travel the the hosts other properties and check them out as well!! Nothing but good things to say here! Also we ranged in age from 1-58 and there wasn’t a single complaint about the home!! Thank you!!

Perfect and stunning for wedding week

This property went well beyond our expectations for our wedding week. We stayed here with most of our wedding party, and there was plenty of space for everyone (including the downtairs and over-garage apartments, which afforded extra privacy), and plenty of space to cook, eat, and gather. It allowed our whole group to spend quality time and have a blast. The house is *STUNNING*, across the board - and the large Christmas tree the owners set up in the living room was truly a gift. We did many of the bridal getting ready photos by the tree. The segmented spaces also allowed separate spaces for the bridal party vs. groom party to get ready morning-of, with the guys getting ready in the downstairs two-bedroom apartment (so much space down there too, with its own living room and kitchenette!). We did our first look with my husband waiting at the bottom of the stairs as I came out the front door, and I can't wait to see the photos. It was then a very short walk to Forsyth Park for all the rest of the photos. Perfect, absolutely perfect - this property really was a key feature to our fairytale week! Host was very responsive as well. Thank you!

Host profile image
We love to travel with our family. A few years ago, we decided to invest in real estate in areas where we love to vacation. We now own properties in Pigeon Forge TN, Savannah GA, and Isle of Palms SC. We self-manage our properties to ensure great customer service and responsiveness and we've partnered with a dedicated team of local professional service providers to help us clean and maintain our homes. Our collective goal is to provide our guests with a great vacation experience in beautiful and unique properties. We hope you enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

We love this grand old home for its historic appeal, beautiful architecture, original floors, woodwork, and trim, as well as its prime location, which is only half a block from Forsyth Park on beautiful East Gaston Street. It is centrally located within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and squares, and about a 20-minute walk to the historic Riverfront.

What makes this property unique

A great location, within walking distance to most of Savannah's attractions. Tall ceilings, large bedrooms, hardwood floors, original woodwork, a lovely courtyard, and a quaint carriage house add to the charm of this older home. The home has been updated with modern conveniences but retains many original features.
