Tara, thank you so much for staying with us and thank you for taking the time to leave a very nice review. We appreciate it. Look forward to having you again when you come to visit this beautiful city.
This carriage house was amazing! The location was excellent-we walked all over! The kitchen was very nice-perfect for 2 people. Matt and Bonnie were awesome hosts-informative and very helpful in the process. We will definitely be back!
This property was just as described in the listing, with a perfect location in the middle of everything. We loved visiting Savannah and would stay here again!

Thank you so much for such a great review, it means a lot that you took the time to do the extra step and review us so well. Look forward to seeing you again thanks Matt and Bonnie
Fantastic little house if visiting Savannah. Great location, everything walkable. If you don’t like stairs this isn’t the place for you, didn’t bother us.Communication with owner was great, easy check-in. Would definitely stay here again.
Cozy sunny place just walking distance from downtown!
This cute guest house is perfect for a couple looking to be walking distance from the historic downtown Savannah area. The little outdoor seating area in the back is perfect for enjoying a lazy morning.

Thank you, Kirsten, glad you enjoyed your stay. It truly is a great location walking distance to just about everything. The beautiful city of Savannah has to offer.
We love to walk and we felt like this was a great location that was walkable to everything downtown. We brought our dog as well and it was so close to so many parks. Overall, the place was great and had a cute little shared garden in the back which was nice. Would definitely come back!!
We walked everywhere every day. Had zero issues with check-in check out etc. the unit was immaculate. Good choice for me and my husband (both in our 60s).
My husband and I loved this place as our launching/landing pad for recent weekend trip to Savannah! We parked Friday afternoon and never got back into the car until Monday. Very walkable to all the things. Even more impressive was we have never stayed in any rental this clean!! It was so clean and so cozy! Loved the linens and personal touches. Will be back!!

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review and it was truly our pleasure to have you as our guests
The property is unique with a spiral staircase to the 2nd floor bedroom and bathroom. Small but perfect for two adults. Filled with lots of great amenities with one of our favorites being a waiting pitcher of ice cold water in the refrigerator after unloading the car in 90+ degree weather. The ground floor entry off an alley made for nice loading and unloading. We were then able to park the car on the street nearby (using the Park Savannah app) and just leave it there while we took advantage of the property's central location and walked everywhere in historic Savannah. Lots of good coffee shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. The hosts were great and provided excellent communication in advance and during the stay. Thank you!

Judy, I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful review.. We do truly strive to make it as comfortable and convenient as possible. I take every review and comment fully , use it to better the experience for all future guests.. thank you , Bonnie&Matt
Our stay was great as we were steps from Columbia Square where we could walk our dog and the 17Hundred90 which we have always enjoyed stopping by to have a drink.
The first floor is the living area and kitchen with a spiral staircase to the bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Decorated beautifully with everything we needed for our weekend stay. Metered parking was easy to find around the corner on Habersham.
Very quiet stay and our dog was very comfortable with everything but the stairs.
Thank you Carlos, we hope to stay again in the future!
FYI…VRBO (not the host) holds your deposit for 14 days after you check out. I had no issues with the return of my deposit.
Beautiful getaway in the heart of historic Savannah!
My husband and I had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful property for three days in June 2024, while we were in town to attend the National Beta Club Convention at the Savannah Convention Center. We selected this location both for its location (easy driving distance to the Convention Center and easy walking distance to restaurants and attractions) and for the historic vibe of the property. Everything was exactly as shown in the pictures, and Matt and Bonnie are amazing hosts. They made the check in and check out process easy and they shared information in advance about parking, restaurants, and attractions from the "local" perspective, which was so helpful! The property itself was not only beautiful, but it was perfectly clean and also the most perfectly "stocked" property that we've had the opportunity to visit. Matt and Bonnie have thought of everything. In addition to the basics, there were a lot of thoughtful extras, from a supply of K-cups for the Keurig and a pitcher of water in the fridge, to toothbrushes (I had forgotten mine!), toothpaste, Q-tips, and cotton pads in the bathroom. We enjoyed our time in this property so much, and we would love to stay with Matt and Bonnie again. We highly recommend!
This unit is so unique and special! Because it's on a small side street, the unit was very quiet--and very clean and fresh! The bed is super comfortable and there are extra linens and blankets so that you can be as comfortable as you'd like. It was great to have the small kitchen after eating out at many of Savannah's wonderful restaurants. The hosts were super helpful, and although there wasn't a parking spot, it was super easy to get parking and easy to walk to many sites, including the historic district. If you are a wine drinker, don't miss nearby Limestone Wines!
