About this property

Historic Home near Emmet Park, Heated Pool Access

Offering room for 12 in a dreamlike setting, Spanish Moss Inn delights with old-world touches combined with modern comforts! This five-bedroom home offers a high-end retreat space that pampers the senses with stunning architecture, beautiful décor and a picture-perfect front porch. The home also comes with exclusive access to a private, heated pool located nearby in beautiful Tybee Island! While enjoying the outdoor space of Spanish Moss Inn, you can enjoy views of Bay Street from your own front porch. Glimpses of the Savannah River and Emmet Park are also visible. Spanish Moss Inn is a home with a fascinating history. Originally built in a different location on the corner of Jefferson and Hull in 1808, the home was relocated to its current location at Bay and Price in 1968. When you arrive at the rental for your stay, take a moment to look for the numbers etched into the home's exposed beams to see the placement markers used by architects when reconstructing the home. There's simply no comparison between this home and other Savannah vacation rentals if you're dreaming of spending some time in a Southern estate by the river!

Welcome to Spanish Moss Inn: A Look Inside One of the Most Captivating Savannah Vacation Homes

Take a minute to soak in a large front porch accented by classic touches like black shutters, potted plants and ceiling fans that scatter the breeze. The porch leads you inside to an elegant, oversized foyer that truly belongs in a movie! Next, it's time to step inside one of the most stunning Savannah vacation homes to take in views of a breathtaking living room featuring tall windows, built-in shelving, intricate crown molding and a grand fireplace. Next, the dining room beckons with its elongated dining table for eight, crystal chandelier and grand fireplace.

Bringing things to a more casual level, the home's kitchen is all that you could ever dream of when designing a functional, high-end place to handle meals and snacks. This large kitchen is overflowing with countertops and cabinets. In addition to a beautiful gas stove with stainless-steel hood, you'll enjoy a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. All of your cooking essentials are waiting inside the kitchen. There's also a large walk-in pantry situated just off of the kitchen that features storage, a utility sink and an auxiliary refrigerator.

It's now time to enter what many would consider to be the highlight of the home! Spanish Moss Inn features a beautiful glassed-in sunroom that is fully furnished with a dining table, hutch and extra seating. This portion of the home leads directly to your private courtyard that is peppered with umbrella-topped patio tables. Plan a little cookout any day of the week using your private outdoor grill.

The bedrooms of Spanish Moss Inn are easily the most impressive "suites" found in any Savannah vacation rentals. Every single bedroom in this home features a king-sized bed with access to its own private full-sized bathroom! Every aspect of the home's bedrooms and bathrooms will delight you with the quality and attention to detail you're observing! No expense has been spared when decorating these bedrooms with large, high-end furnishings that provide space for storage and relaxation. The bathrooms feature touches like high-end, marble-topped vanities, beautiful tiles and oversized showers or tubs. In addition to the five full bathrooms accompanying the bedrooms, a half bathroom is located off of the home's main living area. The home also has its own washer-dryer setup.

While this home may have a rich, fascinating history going back two centuries, you can rest assured that it will fit all of your modern tastes in terms of amenities and technology! Guests enjoy air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and flat-panel televisions. Touches like keypad entry, ample outdoor lighting and off-street parking for one vehicle make entering and exiting this rental property a breeze for guests. Prior to your arrival, the home will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in anticipation of your stay. Finally, Spanish Moss Inn comes with free access to a resort-style heated pool located at 19 Silver Avenue in Tybee Island. Located just 30 minutes away by car, Tybee offers an amazing spot to visit if you'd like to swap city views for beach views for the afternoon!

Things to Do When Staying at Spanish Moss Inn in Savannah

Savannah is filled with amazing restaurants, shopping, live music and exhibits. It is also known for its city ghost tours, haunted cemetery walks and fun pub crawls. Of course, keeping a loose itinerary allows Savannah tourists to enjoy the simple pleasures of admiring ornate front porches, chasing down magical water fountains or following floating jazz notes to little clubs by the river. Spanish Moss is one of the vacation rentals Savannah GA visitors looking to soak in a truly historic experience will love!

Girls' trip

Friends for over 50 years stayed at this wonderful home. Everything was wonderful, from the communication, check-in through check-out reminders. The only "downside" was the busy street the house was located on, BUT that was easily ignored since we were located so close to the waterfront and the historic district. Had a great stay and would highly recommend this house.

Dream location. We were so close to River Street, shops, restaurants, and the historic district. It was super convenient to walk to most of the touristy spots without having to keep getting in and out of a car.Easy access & parking. The entry process was smooth (keypad/lock access was a big plus), and the off-street parking meant we didn’t stress about where to leave our vehicles.Room to roam. With five generous bedrooms (each with its own full bathroom!), a comfy living room, dining space, and a sunroom opening to the courtyard, we never felt cramped—even with all of us together.Character & charm. The historic touches (wood beams, classic architecture) gave the place a real personality. It felt like you were staying in a piece of Savannah’s heritage, but with modern updates.Pool perk. While the pool isn’t right on site, the access to a resort-style heated pool on Tybee Island was a nice bonus for when we wanted a beach-vibe break. If you and your crew like classic, atmospheric homes and planning to explore the city more than lounge inside, this place really delivers. For a girls’ trip with lots of exploring, wine nights, and laughter, Spanish Moss Inn is a gorgeous and memorable pick.

We had an excelent all around experience!The communication was great from begining to end! The home was gorgeous, very clean and a ton of space for all to get away from each other but come together for meals or games. The kitchen was very spacious to have a few people preparing meals. The bedrooms were all decorated with beautiful historic furniture. The bedrooms all had their own bathroom. I wanted to stay in the lower level but the showers in the lower level and the 3rd floor had very tiny showers. We stayed on the second floor with a full bathtub and shower. Access to the house was simple and the location was just walking distance from everything! The historic area is amazing! We would highly recommend this house to others! I have already told some friends we need to make another trip back to Savannah and stay in the same house.

We came for a family wedding. The home was walking distance from the venue and nearby shops and restaurants. It is nice to have a place to stay that still provides each person the privacy they would not have at a hotel without several rooms. We were very happy with our stay.

Great location

College gals celebrating 42 years of friendship! So rare to find a house with 5 beds and baths in a great location. We were able to walk to several restaurants and shops. The staff was quick to answer any questions we had. Check in was a breeze. Now, this is a very old house and there are LOTS of steps, so if you have mobility issues it may not be the right choice for you. There are old house quirks, but it adds to the charm. The kitchen is well appointed. Many folks said the house was too warm, but we felt the air conditioning worked just fine. There are plenty of fans also if you need more cooling. It is very nice to have private parking too….a rarity in Savannah.

Great location - had some issues

The location of this property was great. Within walking distance to everything downtown and the Riverfront. We did experience some issue while there. We couldn't use the dishwasher or kitchen sink for the first 2days. It was repaired however it was done while we were trying to have a family dinner. Also during our stay the gardener decided it was time to trim all the hedges and bushes, which made for a very noisy morning. The house is old, but the floors were not the cleanest and some of the bathrooms smelled moldy.

Club 57

In our family there were five (5) cousins born the same year. We celebrate vacations together with our spouses at various destinations. This year we met in Savannah, Georgia. We stayed at the Spanish Moss House on E Bay Street. The house is well equipped for dining in, a patio with bistro tables on the back of the house, a front porch for people watching, a short walk to River Street and accommodations for five couples to be very comfortable.This historic home is roomy and comfortable, and the decor is fitting for the era of the home.Robinson Family

For being the age that the house is, it was in pretty good condition. Everyone that stayed in the house during our vacation loved the home and looked up some of the history on it since it was actually moved from another location in Savannah. We plan to rent the house again in the future.
