About this property

Radiant 1866 Home on Jones, the "Prettiest Street in the South."

**Most weekends have at least a 3-night minimum**

**I generally don't start or stop reservations on Saturdays**

**Please send an inquiry before requesting to book**

**8 adult guests are my capacity by law and I cannot make exceptions. I don't allow bachelor or bachelorette weekends or any similar type get togethers, or any party weekends or parties**

The authentically restored beautiful historic home will allow you to live like a local in the center of the historic district of Savannah, steps from all the sights.

Built in 1866 as part of the Ruckert Row on Jones Street, considered by most to be the prettiest street in the South. A two-story, 3 Bedroom (convertible to 4BR with a murphy bed in the den) / 3 Bath home with a remodeled kitchen.

Original heart pine floors, exposed brick, ten-foot ceilings, four non-working original fireplaces, authentic Victorian furniture and decor, gas lamps, a peaceful courtyard, and all the modern amenities which allow you to relax in the charm of the 'Hostess City."

The open double parlor (living room and dining room) is a perfect place to relax in the comfortable leather couches or to eat your home-cooked meal. Off the remodeled kitchen there is a cozy den which can be converted into a 4th bedroom with its Murphy Bed. The tranquil courtyard is recently rebuilt and landscaped, giving shade in the summer, and full of sun during the winter, where you can enjoy your morning coffee, eat a meal, or just take things slow like a local, sipping on your favorite drinks. The back bedroom has a balcony on the second floor, great for sunning, overlooking the courtyard (and the St. Paddy's Day Parade route).

Two of the full bathrooms are upstairs: The master bath has a shower and the other, which is shared between the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms, has a shower/tub. The third full bathroom is downstairs and has a tub with a handheld showerhead.

There are two parking spaces in the driveway

Check-in is after 4 pm and Check-out is before 12 pm. These times are usually firm but occasionally could possibly be flexible if the calendar is not full before and/or after your stay, but you must check with me and get approval before.

You will have full access to the entire house, courtyard, and private driveway with parking for two vehicles.

**Instructions for entry to the house will be unlocked after you book beginning three days prior to your stay on the website and the app under My Trips. You will also receive a Welcome Guide email 3 days prior to your stay with the information**

I will allow pets on a case by case basis, but there will be an extra fee (usually $100 but depends on the situation/number and size of pets/etc. You must coordinate with me ahead of time and get permission.

**I have a strict cancellation policy, so it might be desirable for you to purchase trip cancellation insurance in case you have an emergency arise. Allianz and CSA are some of the big companies, but there are many options**

I ask if you are staying for longer than a weekend, that you do me a favor and make sure the plants inside don't get too thirsty.

I have a landscaper named Belvin, middle-aged and missing a few teeth and walks with a limp, a very nice guy. You may see him working out front, or possibly watering plants in the back which he does a few times during the week in the mornings.

Wonderful Retirement Trip!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. It was perfect for our group. Very clean, the beds were comfortable; lot of thought went into the accessories of this home. The location is great, an easy walk to The Cathedral, Forsyth Park and even River Street. Powell was easy to work with and so very responsive. We will definitely be back!!!

Sisters Trip

The home worked out well for our trip. It was very convenient for walking to so many of the places on our lists. Great off-street parking behind the courtyard. On-site washer and dryer allowed for us to pack lighter. High quality towels and shower supplies are all provided, as well as a nicely stocked kitchen. Check-in was smooth, and was so appreciated after we arrived from a nearly three hour flight delay. Communication with the owner went well and a small issue was handled quickly with great satisfaction.

Wedding weekend

6 of us stayed here all weekend. It was great location for us close to Forsyth park and close enough to river street. Plenty of space for 6 plus a trundle bed we did not use. Communication was great and the home was very clean.

Superb stay!!

Wonderful is the one-word description. The house feels like old Savannah, which is what I wanted. There is history here and the house is so comfortable. The location was perfect - walkable to shopping and eating on Broughton St, close to Forsythe Park, which my grandson said had the best playground anywhere! From the living room windows the spires on the Cathedral are readily visible. On New Year's Eve we could see fireworks in the sky behind the spire. Beautiful! Jones is truly a beautiful street with wonderful old architectural buildings. Such nice walks we had on that street and others close by. My entire family was pleased with the choice I made. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your home.

Very good location! Next to a WONDERFUL diner. Over great experience. I don’t know if it’s normal, but being available at the time of check-in seems important to me. There was a problem and I couldn’t get ahold of the host. Just a little frustrating. Overall a wonderful experience with the stay

Excellent Location to experience Savannah

What a perfect place to stay if you are looking at the heart of Savannah. You have a four-minute walk to Savannah's Basilica, fifteen to downtown by the river, Forest Gump's famous scene about seven minutes away and a cute diner right next door. The homeowner is gracious and is in contact with you every step of the way. If you are looking at experiencing Savannah's rich, southern charm, you would be hard-pressed to find a better example of this in another location. The streets just ooooooz with the South off Jones Street & you will enjoy just walking the streets close to this fantastic home. Savannah at its best!

Awesome Stay at This Gem in Savannah

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, historic home in Savannah! The home is located in a very nice area and is walkable to many attractions. Everything was as described or better! One of our days overlapped with the arrival of tropical storm Debbie. We were so fortunate to have this incredible place to stay and ride out the storm. Powell is a wonderful host and was checking in with us throughout. Our group of 6 absolutely loved this place and highly recommend it. We will stay again. Thanks Powell!

About the host

Hosted by Powell Pittman

Host profile image
I am a retired army helicopter pilot, now a writer, originally from Montgomery, Alabama. I've lived in Savannah for 10 years and I know how to enjoy this city, its food and drinks, its social life, all the activities. And it would be my pleasure to share my knowledge with you.

Why they chose this property

This is one of a handful of rental properties on the famous and beautiful Jones Street in the center of the historic district of Savannah. You'll have the comfort of being home and will be within a few minutes walking of almost every tourist site in town.

What makes this property unique

Walking out the front door and taking a stroll on Jones Street is one of my favorite pastimes. You won't need a car and can walk everywhere. Very few people get to experience life like this.
