Cozy and lovely space right by Forsyth Park. If you're looking for a hotel experience, this may not be the spot for you, but if you appreciate the historic feel of Savannah and want a similar space that feels like a home away from home, this is perfect! Loved having the full kitchen and location couldn't be better.There's a great cafe that is a short walk in the park. Walking thru Forsyth for breakfast was a great start to each day. Everything I wanted to do was either walkable or a quick bus ride. I think I used my car once thru my stay.Host was very helpful in sharing suggestions for great restaurants and things to do. Will absolutely stay here again on my next visit.

Hanging in Savannah

This place is excellent. The location is amazing. You are right across from the park. When you step out you can hear the fountain of Forsyth Park. The bed is very comfortable and you can feel the history of the mansion. Loved it here and we will hopefully stay here again on our next Savannah adventure.

Memorial day weekend

We stayed 3 nights with our toddler. Loved the space. Alot more spacious than pictures do it justice. Loved the shower. Great water pressure. Ladies bring a shower cap as it is hard to not wet your hair in a rain shower but it felt very nice. We enjoyed the savannah children's museum, Forsyth park,tybee isand, river street and everything in between. Was so glad to find my favorite book store had not closed but had just moved. Books on bay now on abercorn street. Had some wonderful food at clarys across the road from the book store as well as savannah seafood shack, A taco affair, collins quarter at forsyth and treylor parch beach party in tybee.

Historic Savannah

We loved the Vrbo, the look, size, location and especially the shower. It was within walking distance of almost all of historic Savannah. Our one comment would be that you should check supplies at the house before shopping. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, pots, plates and glasses and a few coffee pods, there was nothing else except salt and pepper.

Great Location!

Great location across from Forsyth Park. We got there late and had no problems with checking in. We got all check in info prior for keyless entry. The bed was super soft, which for my husband was rough since having three back surgeries. He needs a firmer mattress. Just something to note.

We had a wonderful stay .

We really enjoyed our stay. The place is lovely. I have only one complaint. For the love of God, get a new mattress! The mattress is so old it's indented on both sides. It's so old it creaks like a door in an old Haunted Mansion. It reminds me of the mattresses in my great grandma's house on the farm when I was a kid. Get a new mattress!

Charming space in a superb location

Absolutely beautiful street level suite. Location was amazing directly across from Forsyth Park. We walked everywhere. Locals are very welcoming and seemed to appreciate having us there in their beautiful city. The suite is adorable and much larger than we expected. King size bed was awesome and the shower was HUGE! We didn’t have a chance to take advantage of the kitchen but it seemed well appointed. Suite is quite dark which wasn’t an issue for us as we were out exploring the entire time. Parking was easy on the side street. We felt very safe in the location and I couldn’t get over how clean the city was. The only issue we had was with the renters in the upstairs, main floor suite of the house. From the sounds of it, the family had multiple small children who ran through the house screaming and jumping off of furniture. As an historic home, soundproofing was non-existent. They finally settled down around 11pm but it made falling asleep impossible. Not the owners’ fault but I hope those guests read this and realize that the behaviour of their children impacted others during their stay.
