Fantastic location and property!

Deborah is fantastic to work with, it was the perfect place for my husband and me, right across from Forsyth Park. A quiet setting if you want to be away from the more active river area. Yet still close enough to walk to the river and all that’s happening in between and all the pocket parks. The location is just perfect. The only downside is whatever time the people upstairs get up is when you get up. Understandably, an old home and not much sound barrier between the two floors. Everything else is absolutely perfect!

Quiet Property

We stayed only two nights at this property. The property is on the ground level, but be aware the property has many single or half steps up and down inside going from room to room. If this was mentioned in the description, I missed it. It wasn't a big deal for my husband and I, but others might want to know this. The apartment has all the comforts needed, but is quite dark inside. Good for sleeping. The location was perfect as we went walking around the park each morning.

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.

Beautiful space, no insulation between other apartments- awoken with noisy renters

VRBO renter above our unit had 6 males who were very noisy and kept us awake from 3-4. Are unit was Beautiful but not well ventilated so smelled mildew. The property itself is gorgeous and well appointed and Deborah was very responsive. Unit part of an old antebellum mansion on outskirts of historic district - great location. Didn’t need car - walked to everything

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.

Vrbo Should Review And Rate

This property is beautiful. The location & neighborhood is perfect. The cleanliness not so great! The property manager never replied to my email requests to have the property cleaned. I explained the floors had dirt, dust and chips in the carpet. And the bathroom needed cleaning. No reply from the manager for the entire time of the stay. Very disappointing!

It was a very cute property! We loved the brick work and the style. It was also very close to most everything we wanted to see. Also, it is on the free shuttle line which was very helpful! Had to contact Deb a couple of times and she responded very quickly!
