If cookie cutter neighborhoods and homes are not for you, you're in luck.
The neighborhood: The historic Montgomery district of Savannah is a community comprised of diverse backgrounds. It's filled with character, wherein the working class and wealthy coincide. Unlike HOA communities, which are rigidly conformed, your neighborhood's community experiences more freedom in its ability to live, landscape, park, and live however it desires. Unlike the majority of Savannah, according to mapping resources, the neighborhood is one of Savannah's safest areas. Although some surrounding homes may appear unmaintained, your safety is more maintained here than in the majority of Savannah's areas.
The home: Just as the neighborhood exudes a historic and diverse atmosphere, the home's authentic 1979 brick build and original windows provide a humble and down-to-Earth experience. Original bathrooms host an experience not of modern and luxurious appeal, but cozy charm. Overall, the area exudes more of a peaceful country ambience as opposed to urban convenience. Its close proximity to Skidaway's islandic life is accentuated with Spanish moss lined roadways accompanied by the Vernon and Moon rivers' faint marshy aroma.
Important Note about Sleeping Arrangements: The listing displays a maximum guest count of 8. Just to clarify, this number reflects the maximum number of people allowed on the property - not necessarily the number of mattresses and sheets provided to comfortably sleep 8 guests. This home has enough mattresses and sheets to comfortably sleep 6 guests, but air mattresses are provided as supplementary unconventional sleeping arrangements.
We list guest counts this way on our listings so that guests who are comfortable with unconventional sleeping arrangements—like using a sofa or bringing an air mattress—can still book if the space fits their needs. If we didn’t list it this way, many groups would be excluded from search results even when the home could still work for them.
If sleeping arrangements are important to your group, please reach out - we’re more than happy to clarify what’s available and help ensure we're a good fit!
Artwork Information: 1) Artwork showcased in the photographs is for sale! Pricing and more is posted on the dining room's gallery style walls. The featured artwork is original, so when it is sold, new and exciting works are to replace them. This listing's current photographs may not accurately reflect the current artwork showcased in the space. If the vacationers staying prior to your check-in decide to purchase one of her works, I cannot guarantee that I'll have fresh artwork in right away. However, I'll do my absolute best to provide fresh pieces to replace sold works as soon as I possibly can.
Long length of stays are welcomed and encouraged! A rental agreement will need to be signed for stays over 30 days.
Note: the duplex's adjacent unit, Unit B, may be occupied by the property owner or other short term rental guests during your stay. Your unit is completely private and separate; the only shared space is the yard access. All I ask is that you maintain a respectful noise level for your friendly neighbors.

Our large group with 4 adults and 3 children were very comfortable and enjoyed the spaciousness and layout of the property. The art theme was a bonus and added a refreshing appeal to our stay. Logan was amazing the entire stay, always available to answer any questions we had and extremely helpful and friendly.

I was very satisfied with my stay. The owner was quick to respond to questions. The place was very clean and neat. The owner even had a bag of candy delivered to the door, as I was going into surgery after departing. I highly recommend this place.

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌟 I'm so glad you were satisfied with your stay and that everything was clean and comfortable for you. It was my pleasure to help make your time here a little sweeter before your surgery. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery, and I’d be honored to host you again in the future. Take care and thank you for the heartfelt recommendation! 😊
We only stayed 2 nights, but the house was clean and comfortable. My husband remarked on how organized everything was. We had no issues, and the host was prompt in his responses. The coffee bar was a nice touch. The house is 1/2 of a duplex, but we never saw or heard the people next door. Nice and quiet.

About the host
Hosted by Logan Hoyt
I may or may not be addicted to little things like fluffing pillows and getting furniture in "just the right spot." I fell into hosting after realizing that I love turning spaces into vacations—where guests can nap like royalty, drink coffee like philosophers, and cook up ridiculously tasty meals. When I’m not obsessing over cozy bedding or the perfect lighting for a vacation vibe, I’m probably out hunting for quirky art, debating whether a throw pillow can actually change a room’s energy (it can), or testing out local restaurants—all in the name of "research," of course. Hosting isn’t just about handing over the keys; it’s about creating an experience so good that you’ll wonder why you ever considered staying anywhere else. So, come stay, relax, and if you ever need a recommendation for the best local eats or hidden gems—I’m your person!
Why they chose this property
This duplex isn’t just a place to stay—it’s strategically positioned for maximum Savannah enjoyment. Nestled 15 minutes from downtown and just a short drive from essential stores (because who wants a trek for a midnight snack?), this spot offers the best of both worlds: easy access to the city's lively charm and a peaceful retreat when you need a break from all that excitement.
For the nature lovers, the surrounding area delivers big time. Gorgeous marsh views? Check. Skidaway Island State Park? Just around the corner. The historic Wormsloe district and the ever-enchanting Moon River? Practically next-door. And for those who believe no getaway is complete without a proper bonfire-and-s’mores situation, the quiet suburban setting makes it all possible.
Whether you’re here for history, adventure, or just an excuse to lounge with a cup of coffee while admiring the scenery, this cozy hideaway is ready to make your Savannah experience one to remember.
What makes this property unique
Even before I pulled into the driveway of this duplex, I knew it was a winner. Its connecting street is filled with winding live oak trees and lush Spanish moss. These pieces of nature connect with the morning sunlight to create a dazzle of light rays across the street. This is a breathtaking sight in itself, no matter where you're headed. Driving to the house, you can practically smell the Moon River.
I have personally rode my bike over to Skidaway Island State Park to experience its miles of winding bike trails. Living just a couple miles from the island makes this possible. Enjoy the country's peacefulness while just being a skip away from the city's lavish history!
