Great stay!

This place was as advertised Easy access to our family reunion location on Tybee Island. Quick and easy check in. We occupied entire house giving access to both kitchens and five bedrooms which were equipped with everything we needed. Deck was a pleasant addition. Perfect for my extended family. Lots of stairs, definitely got my work-out in.

Absolutely wonderful!

This property is amazing. We were having a reunion with friends from college from the mid 1970 in NC! Everyone had a private bath and the kitchen was well appointed. We talked and laughed so hard that I have laryngitis! Memories for a lifetime.

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
This was the perfect set up for our daughter’s wedding and the house was quite well appointed. There are some things that we wish were a bit more upscale. There was a couple of hangers only in the closets, so that made hanging clothes, and unpacking a little challenging, especially for the many formal events that we had planned. The other issue was the pillows. They were all super flat and that made sleeping a bit uncomfortable. The fountain in the back patio area smelled like mold. I did also find that having only one towel per person was a bit on the less than optimal side of things. In one of the bathrooms the soap pump in the shower didn’t work. Overall, it was nice, but I do think those items would make for a much better stay.

We had to wait 2 hours in the rain to get in. The person sent to help was rude. The instructions sent to open the lockbox were inaccurate causing this delay. The elevator did not work to bring in the luggage or go to the bedrooms for 3 80 year olds. One of the dinning chairs was broken causing an 80 year old to fall and bruise her arm. Nevertheless, the place is beautiful and after we adjusted to the circumstances we had a good time.

For future guests reading this review: The check in details and instructions are VERY CLEAR and VERY DETAILED! These ladies couldn't figure out they should press DOWN on a lever, rather than PUSH IN on the lever. There is only one way in which the lever will move. Sad that no one could figure this out. They did not tell us the elevator wasn't working nor did they tell us about the broken chair until after leaving. The daughter who made the reservation said it was a great success and that all the ladies enjoyed everything despite the 2 issues. Checking in is very simple for 99% of our guests. We hope people will always tell us in the future they are having issues at the time. We do our best to fix any problems!! The chair has since been fixed of course.

The location was perfect. We did a ghost tour one night that ended in Monterrey Square, right by the house. We could walk to everything in the historic district.

Our group of 10 had a wonderful stay at the “Wedding Cake House” in Savannah. The house and furnishings were beautiful and spotless and perfect for our group. The house is in an absolutely perfect area to walk and enjoy the historic neighborhoods and sites. It is a wonderful location to enjoy all the flavor and the graciousness that Savannah has to offer. We had a wonderful stay and Suzanne was superb at answering all our needs and questions. We hope to return and heartily recommend the house.
