About this property

Yellow door carriage house

The main house is in the front and the Carriage house is secluded towards the back of the property. The house has a large front yard in a quiet street, so plenty of space for parking, and the day before your arrival I will send you a message with further information on how to get to the house and into the Carriage house.

We are proud to say that this is an eco-friendly space with state-of-the-art WaterSense certified, low-flow water fixtures and LED lights, and Energy Star refrigerator, as well as double pane windows, an ultra-quiet, low energy, amazing air conditioning / heating system, and fully insulated structure.

Our house is a place to stay while you are out enjoying yourself, day or night, but coming here intoxicated, making loud noises, etc, is not acceptable. Please be respectful of me, my neighbors and possibly other guests or you'll be asked to leave. The carriage house is located in the back of the lot where my home is. It is halfway between charming Historic Downtown Savannah and the fun beaches of Tybee Island, about 10-12 minutes either way.

Nearby you will find grocery stores, pharmacies, bars and restaurants for your convenience - driving distance.

On our tranquil neighborhood island, you can ride your bike or go on a stroll safely and secure, away from major traffic interference. Across the street is Turner's Creek, and the sunsets in the neighborhood are fantastic!

I am pleased to say this is a gay friendly, smoke-free, two-story, turned into a one-story 15 ft ceiling space, custom built home by one of the island's developers back in the 1970’s, however, completely renovated down to studs. We live in the house in the front, so if you need assistance we're home most of the time, however, you have plenty of privacy to come in and out as you please.

In the loft feel-like Carriage house there is a Full size bed, and a sleeper sofa that sleeps one.

There is an utility kitchen with basic modern conveniences, such as a compact refrigerator to store your food and drinks, a Keurig coffee machine, so you can enjoy coffee at your convenience (we provide limited condiments), as well as a microwave - basic kitchen utensils provided as well.

The spa feel bathroom has a large tiled walk in shower, and an oversized vanity counter for all your conveniences.

Well behaved non-shedding dogs (up to 25 lb.) are welcome (for a non refundable fee), however, if any damage is noticed upon departure, we reserve the right to open a claim for damages. They must be potty trained, and long haired, shedding dogs are not allowed, and please pick up after your pets, specially in my back yard, where the dog must be on a leash at all times.

Just outside the door there's a deck with furniture on the large grassy back yard, with a partial privacy fence, so you can enjoy your quiet time.

Some of the flowers and trees on property include: banana trees, palm trees, begonias, impatiens, lantana, bridal veil, Mexican heather, marigolds, snap dragons, petunias, gloxinias, African violets, tons of ferns, confederate jasmine, morning glories, mimosa tree, azaleas, gardenias, walking iris', hibiscus, dogwood, rose plants and confederate rose trees, to name a few; all of this on 1/2 acre.

Video surveillance in use: We have video surveillance outside the property for safety recording at all times. There is a video camera outside in front of the garage door and one outside by the yellow gate, in the back yard, which are always on and always recording.

The house has a large front yard on a quiet street, so plenty of space for on street parking, and once you reserve and send the agreement back, you will receive a door code, that will let you in and out at your convenience, 24/7. Upon booking you will be required to sign and return the rental agreement/ contract prior to door code being sent.

You are welcome to reserve at the last minute!

Quaint Carraige House

We were only at the carriage house for one night but it fit our needs perfectly and we would consider it again on our next trip down to Savannah. It was exactly as advertised and we were very pleased with it.

Cute lil house

We weren't sure what to expect with it being in the backyard of a house but we were very surprised. It is perfect for a couple that wants to be close to Tybee. It was very clean and the place was adorable. We loved the little signs posted throughout. The host Steven was great. Very straightforward and answers any questions you have right away. We would make a suggestion though.... maybe an awning or something that you could sit under outside when it rains. Thank you for making our stay memorable!

Our anniversary stay

This property is such a nice getaway! While it's located in their backyard, you are completely away from the renters Andy and Steve (who btw are amazing). Andy and Steve gave us so many ideas for stuff to do and food places to choose from. You are about 15 minutes from downtown and 15 min from the beach. The spot can be small so not for the claustrophobic but worked well for us. The shower is amazing. Lastly, the bed is a full so if you are used to a queen or king it can be a tight fit but worked well for us!

Simply ok

This property is more like an efficiency apt. It was very clean and met our needs; however, very small bed, not a full size refrigerator but more like dorm. Bathroom was very nice. Had problem with signing into WIFI which Steve addressed. Also, yard in need of TLC. We cut our stay a day short because bed was too small and pull out sofa not comfortable for us. We were on the go and hate to complain. Note that we ate in our 70's..much younger and above complaints may not matter.

Cute back yard oasis

This was a cute little place, only 15 to downtown Savannah. It was in the back yard but very private. The host were very helpful and had good communication. We would definitely stay here again!

Southern hospitality at its finest!

We had a wonderful stay here. We drove up for a four day getaway and couldn't be happier. We met Steve on the day we left for home. Super nice guy. The Carriage House is such a cool place. Even though it's located behind their home you would never know it. Beautiful yard and garden area and very quiet. I would recommend this all day every day!

Perfect Couple Getaway

Steve and Andy have the perfect location centered between downtown Savannah and Tybee Island. Their property is so pretty with the fruit trees, flowers and greenery. You can tell that a lot of thought went into their renovation to turn the carriage house into a vacation rental. The finishes are next-level and you can feel the love that they put into everything.

Fantastic Short Weekend!

First time staying in Savannah since my one time as a kid, needless to say, this was a great place! Steven & Andy had a wonderful place for us, nicely decorated, lots of lovely notes and instructions laid out for us… Everything was just as we needed. The location was great for a quick drive into town, or for a spontaneous day trip to St. Augustine! Lovely place to come back to and crash at while we were in town. Would definitely come back if we’re around the area!! Thank you again!

The Perfect Place

The property was perfect for our little family of three! The carriage house was gorgeous, super clean, and a great location between Savannah and Tybee. Steve was awesome and helped us find some great places to eat as well! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back when we travel to GA again!

Look no further!

Steve & Andy have an awesome place. The location is perfect for both Savannah and Tybee Island. If you're looking for peace and quiet and a blissful night of sleep, this is it! Our little dog loved it too. Great neighborhood for a morning or evening walk. Fabulous shower too with nice towels and roomy bathroom.

Cozy and quiet

The Carriage House was cozy, quiet, and clean. The location is in a pleasant, attractive neighborhood that is conveniently located to all the attractions in Savannah. This is a perfect place for a couple looking for a two or three day get-a-way. The listing and pictures accurately show the House and all its amenities. I would certainly recommend it to others.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
We are laid back, outgoing, and we like to bike, run, and swim (just not all at the same exact time!). The island on which we live is nearly 5K when I run/bike around it.

While you stay in our place, if you need suggestions on places to eat, places to go, and/or if you need directions, I'd be more than happy to share those if you'd like - just let me know. We can tell you where the locals eat if you'd rather eat there than with other tourists.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it is quiet and very beautiful.

What makes this property unique

The best features travelers rave about this property are the fact that we are exactly halfway between Tybee Island and Downtown Savannah, and that we have a self check in system allowing guests to check in at their convenience.
