Welcome to the Historic Dickerson House

Step into Savannah's rich maritime history at the Dickerson House, the former residence of Captain Henry James Dickerson, a prominent 19th-century sea captain and entrepreneur. Born in Maryland and drawn to Savannah's bustling harbor at the age of 19, Captain Dickerson rose from sailor to ship owner, building a fleet of vessels that played a vital role in the city's commerce and wartime efforts. His legacy lives on in this beautifully preserved home, situated at the vibrant corner of York and Abercorn Streets.

This stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers the perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Located directly on Savannah’s renowned St. Patrick’s Day Parade route, the Dickerson House provides front-row seats to one of the city's most cherished traditions. From here, you’re just steps away from Savannah’s finest dining, nightlife, and cultural landmarks—no car required.

Inside, you’ll find two spacious king bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with a convenient half bath nearby. Luxury bedding, thoughtfully curated furnishings, and a private outdoor patio overlooking historic Abercorn Street enhance your stay, offering a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city.

Please note: Guests will need to be able to climb stairs to access the property.

Great stsy

We loved this place. The apartment is beautiful and spacious. The location is perfect for walking all over Savannah. We parked in the garage across the square and didn’t take the car out until we were leaving.

Nice neighborhood and Location

We picked this because of the location and it fit our needs perfectly. We wanted to be close by to the waterfront and shopping and in walking distance to restaurants. The unit is spacious with high ceilings and is located on a nice square full of history. We had good luck with parking also.

Thanksgiving.

We had a wonderful time exploring Savannah and visiting with family during the Thanksgiving holidays. Our VRBO was conveniently located to restaurants and in walking distance to sites in the historic district. We would 100% stay again.

What a great host and property!

We loved being in historic Savannah. We could walk to about anything we wanted to see. Lot of great restaurants one or two blocks away. What a great host, generous, helpful proactive and made a point to check in a few times to make sure we are comfortable. I highly recommend this host and property! Mark S.

Great location and lots of space

This property was perfect for two couples - two large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms plus a really spacious common area. Communication with the host was also fantastic, and the location is great - close to Broughton Street and a lot of landmarks but far enough away from the main drag to be nice and quiet. The balcony overlooking the square is a really neat touch. Our only recommendations are a bit more of a thorough cleaning in the bathrooms and an upgrade to the provided shampoo/conditioner/body wash included in the listing. Our unit had a watered-down shampoo and two conditioners but no body wash. It’s a small detail but one we definitely would have noticed!

Perfect Accommodations for 2 Couples

Great Property and Location

This was a great and quiet location to stay and had a very historical feel to it. Sitting in the living room listening to the horse carriages in the street gave the impression I had traveled back in time! The only thing I was worried about was the parking, but there were plenty of street parking close by and it was cheaper than parking at a hotel. Would stay here again.

Very nice location

Very nice location towards the center of Savannah. It makes for a very good walkable vacation. Just be aware, this location is on the 3rd floor via stairs. Also, master bathroom's shower can be a tight fit to enter if you are a little overweight. Both of these were fine for our group, but won't meet everyone's needs. We would stay here again.

Great Stay in Savannah

The location was terrific and the property was a lot bigger then we expected. The spacious unit had great amenities and offered tourist information to help us during our stay. We did not hear back from the Owner with one small issue we had during our stay. Otherwise the property was amazing and we would definitely stay hear again!

Great Location/Beautifully Decorated

We enjoyed our visit to the Savannah area. It would have been fun to have had a little more time to explore. Your location is ideal for walking to the river walk etc. The toilet paper not being available was a bit of issue, but the cleaning gals came to our rescue. They were so pleasant and helpful with some coffee as well. We would like to stay again in the future. We will highly recommend your lovely home!

Disliked: Amenities, communication

The location of this property is awesome! Everything is within walking distance. The communication was less than desirable though. Full disclosure…we had booked this rental 22 hours prior. But after the initial text/email confirmation we never received any further information including building access/parking availability/etc. We had 2 unanswered messages from the host multiple hours prior to check-in. It was quite frustrating trying to get ahold of someone while trying to explore the city… and this was after our check-in time had come and gone. I had held out hope up until that point hoping they were going to notify us at our appointed check-in time to no avail. The house itself was ok…not the most comfortable. The couch/Murphy bed was hard as a rock. The air mattress didn’t hold air.

My family rented this from Friday-Sunday, February 24-26th. As a renter I have never left a review of a property, however, I feel that future renters should know prior to booking. I would ONLY give this rental a 1 star review, and ONLY for its location! The apartment is not the cleanest, showers (mold)/bathrooms, baseboards/bathroom doors/doors-have built up dust/dirt). This rental needs a good deep cleaning! Sleeping arrangements-it does NOT sleep 6 adults. The air mattress provided had a hole in it, the others were thrown on the floor, dirty, next to an empty bin. Futon/sofa bed, sleeps 1...was the 6th individual supposed to be the third party to the King size bed?! That is what my family ended up doing! Bathroom with King size bed, the door opens into the toilet, leaving renter a VERY small opening (approx.16-18 inches) to access shower. You will need to be a thin individual to utilize the shower in that room. The only TV that we were able to access was in the general area, as the others would not connect to internet. As a renter, I would not rent nor recommend this property. My family paid (I am not allowed to say) for 2 nights and I feel that the things included in this review should be standard and expected from the Tenant, we should NOT have to contact anyone during our short stay and address items listed!

Location, Location, Location - and beautiful Oglethorpe Square

The property is effectively two floors above the street, counting the outside stairs to the front door. The master en suite has a cute balcony. And longer term parking is very doable at the State Street parking garage just across the square. This worked great for us - an easy stroll to the river and several other attractions. The inside is lovely and comfortable. The provided toiletries were not what they should have been (huge industrial-size dispenser jugs of all-purpose body wash, only) but so many other attributes made this seem less significant as we had our own travel-size soap and shampoos. Definitely recommend this place!

This place was perfect. Within walking distance to everything. You will not regret booking this place for your next stay. My only criticism would be the shower head in the second bathroom. It is horrible. And the bleach smell after they cleaned was very strong. Glad we had an air purifier with us. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to anyone.

Nice location

This was a better than average stay. The location of the property was definitely excellent. The property itself had several plus and minus features. The unit appeared bigger than 900+ square feet and it was tastefully decorated. The kitchen was a plus with its ability to have several cooks preparing meals. The ice maker was inoperable with only one ice tray. The 12 cup coffee pot was definitely a plus. There were only four flat dinnerware dishes and a scare supply of kitchen cooking pans, bowls, and baking sheets. Getting items out of the oven was challenging, since there were no pot holders. The bathrooms were large and well equipped with towels and bath supplies. The beds were comfy with nice bedding. There was one ceiling fan which was a bit noisy in the second bedroom. We noticed a little dust accumulation on the living room furniture and the living/dining cloth furniture would have been better addressed with non cloth furniture that could be sanitized with cleaners. The balcony was a nice addition if its outside furniture was maintained regularly. Even though the elevator was inoperable we did have management come over and turn it off for security reasons. We had a pleasant stay and would recommend this area and condo.

Great location…okay apartment.

The apartment had everything we needed & was in a perfect location. We were able to walk to nearly everything we did. The apartment was mostly clean. It could definitely use a really thorough deep clean; dusty, dirty shelves & a layer of dust & grime on top of the fridge add zero charm to an older home. Also, bring slippers to walk around the apartment in - after walking around inside the apartment your socks will look like you’ve walked around outside without shoes! The mattresses are also pretty worn out, as are the sitting chairs in the living room. Overall, a thorough cleaning & updating of some furniture & this apartment would be 5-stars across the board.
