The Porch Everyone Falls in Love With
One of the most memorable parts of staying at The Abilene is simply slowing down.

Begin your mornings with coffee from the shaded front porch, relax in a rocking chair beneath majestic live oaks, and watch Savannah come to life across Forsyth Park. In the evenings, enjoy the gentle glow of historic streetlights and the
unmistakable charm that makes this city unlike anywhere else. It's the quintessential Savannah experience our guests return for again and again.

Other extras:
• Beach towels
• Tennis rackets (adults and kids)
• Picnic blanket
• Frisbee

Explore Savannah on Foot
The Abilene's premier location places you in the heart of Savannah's Historic District, making it easy to experience the city's most iconic destinations without ever moving your car.

• Forsyth Park Fountain – 5-minute walk
• Mercer-Williams House – 12-minute walk
• Cathedral of St. John the Baptist – 15-minute walk
• Collins Quarter, Local 11ten, and charming neighborhood cafés – just minutes away
• Broughton Street shopping & Leopold's Ice Cream – 25-minute walk
• River Street & Bay Street – 30-minute walk

The complimentary DOT Trolley stops just two blocks away, providing convenient
access to the rest of downtown.

An Authentic Savannah Experience
One of the things guests love most about The Abilene is its premier location directly overlooking Forsyth Park.

Being in the heart of one of America's most walkable historic cities means you'll experience Savannah exactly as locals do, from morning joggers to evening strolls beneath centuries-old live oaks and the gentle rhythm of the neighborhood throughout the day.

The Abilene places you right in the center of it all. Located on Drayton Street, some pedestrian activity and city sounds are naturally part of this vibrant setting, and many guests consider them part of the authentic charm of staying in Savannah Historic District. For added comfort, sound machines are thoughtfully provided in the bedrooms over Drayton St.

As a lovingly restored Victorian home in Savannah's subtropical climate, you may
occasionally encounter local insects during warmer months, despite regular
professional pest treatments and meticulous maintenance. It's simply part of life in
the beautiful Lowcountry.

PLEASE NOTE!!
The City of Savannah is currently giving the tennis courts across the street a fresh refurbishment, so you may notice some daytime construction activity during your stay. Construction is expected to be finalized by Labor Day.

Our group of six recently spent three nights at The Abilene on Forsyth Park for a milestone birthday getaway, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional! The property is beautifully appointed, featuring three gorgeous bedrooms that accommodated our party perfectly. We were particularly impressed by the cleanliness of the home and the thoughtful amenities provided in both the kitchen and bathrooms.While the property offers two convenient parking spaces—which easily accommodated our large rental SUV—we found the location so central that we rarely needed to drive. The historic downtown of Savannah is a pleasant 15-20 minute walk away. Finally, the owners provided a comprehensive guest guide which made check-in effortless, and her quick responses to my inquiries ensured we felt well-supported throughout our stay. The Abilene was the cornerstone of a magical weekend. I highly recommend this property and would certainly stay here again.

Perfect In Every Way

The location is right across from a beautiful park which makes even sitting on the front porch enjoyable. Location makes it so easy to explore the area. I stay in alot of Vrbos and you will not find a property that is cleaner , better stocked , has more beau furnishings , then this property. The owner has thought of everything and has gone above and beyond when it comes to the little details that really make staying at this property stand out as one of the best rentals. You can also tell the cleaning crew does a great job and pays attention to details. I'd definitely stay here again.

We spent Easter weekend at this property . We were a family of 4 adults and 2 young children. This was an outstanding home. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and each had their own bathroom. The home was well appointed with everything you would want or need in the kitchen and bathrooms. Loved the extra special touch of nice bathroom soap and shampoo ! The kitchen had a wonderful coffee station and all the dishes, silverware , cookware and glassware you would need to cook and eat with. Tennis rackets and balls were a surprise and well appreciated , when the court was empty we got a chance to enjoy it! Parking was easy right behind the house and it was great that it was included so you don't have to worry about meters or walking to a parking garage like some vrbo houses we have rented in Savannah . The front porch with rocking chairs was a favorite hangout for our entire family ! From morning coffee to evening cocktails ! Being right next to the park but at the far end was just right, there was just enough people watching without feeling like you overwhelmed by crowds. There was a farmers market on Saturday and it was a short walk across the street, very cool. I honestly cannot say enough good things about this property and the property manager Stacia. You will not regret staying here , it's a perfect home away from home to enjoy Savannah! We would without reservation stay here again!

My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here (and the quaint city of Savannah). The bedrooms were large and roomy, the kitchen was perfectly outfitted with everything you needed for your stay, and the living room was cozy with plenty of seating. The host has thought of everything for a comfortable stay and added some special touches that made it feel even more special. We loved the fact that it’s right next to Forsyth Park and walking distance to shops and restaurants. We did have a car but we found it more convenient to walk or take Uber for places like the riverfront. One drawback for those that are light sleepers: since the house sits on a major street that surrounds the park, the noise of the cars can keep you awake. Since we were so tired at the end of the day we slept well even with the background noise. We liked that the host does have this disclaimer on their VRBO description so that allowed us to make an informed choice.If you’re looking for a place to stay, I highly recommend your stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Stacia

Host profile image
Hi! We're Stacia and Joe and we're thrilled to offer our home for you to enjoy during your stay in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We truly love Savannah!!

We know how important having a nice and comfortable place to stay is and we put a lot of attention into making the home welcoming for you. We are avid travelers and seek to provide the type of experiences we have enjoyed on our own journeys. We hope you enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

Being across from Forsyth Park is magical. It puts you right near everything, but not on top of everything. It's the perfect mix of comfort and convenience.

What makes this property unique

Our home was built in 1891 and still holds many of the grand details from her past. Whether it's the carved inset in the woodwork, the original fireplace details or the ornate chandelier plaques, there's something to marvel at. We love the enormous windows and even the little details on the doorknobs.

We've taken care to preserve these details so you may enjoy the home as it once was. However, we've also renovated the rooms so areas like the bathrooms are modern and comfortable.

One of the biggest compliments we get is about the decor. We went to great lengths to try to adopt comfortable and more modern furniture yet keeping with the quaintness of the home.
