    This property is truly gorgeous!!! The amenities are great, the location is superb and within a quick Uber ride or walk to downtown! The check in process and communication with the property manager was a breeze! I will definitely look to stay here again!!! Would highly recommend for a weekend getaway or girls trip!
    Beautiful, clean, great location, we walked everywhere.
    Beautifully decorated, fully equipped, excellent location.
    Great property. Would recommend and stay again.
    Great location! The house has been updated and they did a nice job. However, finding someone elses bra under the pillow on the couch was not a nice surprise. There are some definite maintenance issues. When the air conditioner turns on, the front bedroom is filled with hot air. It is almost like the fireplace is open, but it’s not. I reached out to the property management with the issues and never heard anything back. The back bedroom toilet also had issues flushing. Thankfully we knew how to make it work. Inconvenient but not a huge issue. The house is blocks from the park and the area is fantastic.

    We stayed for a long girls weekend. The house was absolutely amazing! Everything was clean and the location was perfect! Thank you so much for being an awesome host!
    We had an awesome time and this house was perfect for our group of 7 ladies. The house was clean and the decor was so cute. Very convenient location. The property manager reached out via text making sure everything was good and to let them know if there were any issues (there weren’t). Very happy with our stay.
    This home was in a great location and easily accessible to the shops/restaurants on Broughton and only a few blocks from the River walk area. The home is beautifully decorated. We especially loved it given we were there to celebrate our SCAD grad. We loved having the garage for our rental car. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all spacious and well appointed. The kitchen was perfect for us as we only planned breakfast and snacking in the home. The courtyard was used the most as it was great for meeting up. Unfortunately, we were unable to enjoy the rooftop lounging area as it rained too often making the seating unusable. My young adult kids enjoyed having their own private/locked entrance to the over the garage living quarters. Mom, Dad and grandma liked that we did not have to be disturbed in the main house as well. Will book again!
    My friends and I stayed at this property during a girls’ trip to Savannah. The place was beautiful and spotless, and the location was ideal for sightseeing. The courtyard was lovely and perfect for coffee in the morning or a drink at the end of the evening. The kitchen had everything we needed. Perfect accommodations for a perfect trip!
    We loved this spot. Three couples with three great master bedroom set ups! Decorated beautifully, we walked everywhere, rooftop is fun, beds super comfy! I am a regular in Savannah and this is the perfect Savannah vacation rental.

    Really good communication in the time leading up to our trip. Very easy check-in process. Property was clean, tidy, and ready to go. The location was excellent for parks, restaurants, etc. There was some noise from the apartment above us but it did not disturb our trip in any way. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well-equipped. There are two showers/bathrooms at different ends of the property, which is handy. One of the showers dripped constantly, with no way to fully turn it off but it is in a wet room and so it wasn’t really an issue. We avoided using it though in case it caused a problem. We didn’t call the company as it didn’t affect our stay. The other one sprays straight at you when you turn it on, which is a bit inconvenient but we worked around it. Other than those minor observations, the property was excellent and we had a really wonderful stay.
    We absolutely loved staying here—we felt at home yet like we had found a little Savannah gem. We are already talking about when we can book again and come back. We did have trouble with the Wifi throughout our stay—and didn’t hear back from the number who had texted us about maintenance support. But, other than that, it was a perfect stay.
    Beautiful and well appointed apartment. Perfect location that puts you in the heart of Savannah. Loved the decor and furnishings and the tub in the master is heaven. I’ve stayed at at least one other property managed by Southern Belle and they are wonderful. Well organized and highly responsive.
    Everything here was really nice!! I would definitely recommend this garden level apartment. Only complaint is the AC was locked out at 70* and the bedroom doesn’t get much air flow from the AC.

    The house was just great and exactly as listed. The courtyard was so nice to have with small dog. Neighborhood was really nice and we walked to Forsyth Park to eat breakfast couple of morning. Had family together for daughter’s wedding in Savannah and this house worked perfectly. Would highly recommend!!
    Location of this property was top notch. Close to everything without the noise or business. Neighbor is super friendly & assisted with parking, trash day etc. Back patio is relaxing & quiet. All the beds are very comfortable & the master shower was relaxing. The living room, hallway, staircase was a very tight fit. Just the way the house was built. We did notice a flea problem soon after our arrival. We notified management about it & they acknowledged having an issue the month prior but had the yard & house treated. It would have been nice to know this prior to our arrival especially since we traveled with a 21 month old & pet. They were accepting of the information & relayed they were going to address the problem again.
    This home is in a great part of old Savannah and is walking distance to some of the fascinating history of the area. I would definately stay here again.
    This home was perfect for celebrating my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary. The property was well stocked and very clean. The fountain on the patio was a perfect addition.
    We enjoyed the old feel of this beautiful home and the back patio felt very private and calming. It was a great location to set off on foot for the day in downtown Savannah and the street was very quiet. I wish we had spent more time enjoying the home rather than cramming sightseeing in every day.Be sure to pay attention to parking. We knew about the street sweeper days due to the signs but the spot in front of the home has a yellow curb due to a hydrant I didn’t notice the first night and we did get a parking ticket for it. :/

    Beautiful space, and right where you can walk to anything fun you want to do. Owners are right on top of communication and perfect hosts. Highly recommended.
    It was an altogether enjoyable stay. The condo was close to everything and I liked the loft like updated look. It also had a washer drier that functioned well. The bath was clean and the shower had plenty of hot water.
    Myself and two of my friends stayed at this property and we would definitely return. It’s location was perfect as it was right in the middle of all of the shops and stores. There was construction on the street the condo overlooked, but nothing we did was affected by it. The parking garage that was suggested was the perfect place to park and safely leave my vehicle for the weekend.
    The apartment was so clean and stylish. We were very comfortable during our stay, and appreciated the thoughtful details like full coffee supplies for the morning. The property manager was so responsive and kind when we asked to check in early.

    House worked well for our group! It was easy to walk to wherever we wanted to go in Savannah, and then we had a nice place to relax and hang out in the evening. The beds were super comfortable and all the bathrooms have recently been redone. The only small piece of criticism I would give the house is that we did hear some traffic outside when we were sleeping. I wouldn’t say the road was busy, but the age of the house and the single pane windows probably contributed. We would definitely stay here again though.
    The house was beautiful and easy to find. The location was perfect and we were able to easily walk to restaurants, River Street, and many historical sights. Could not have asked for a better location! Beds were comfortable, rooms were spacious, and everything was very clean. A full length mirror would be a nice addition for getting ready to go out but we did fine without one. Thank you for opening up this beautiful home to share!
    Great location – close to the River Walk and reasonable walking distance to almost everything else. The DOT bus stop is very near, as was the tram stop. House was beautiful! We had a little trouble getting in with the code when we first arrived but the property manager was extremely helpful. The garbage cans on the back deck were very full – looked like they hadn’t been emptied for a long time.
    Had a fun weekend away in Savannah and this was the perfect place to stay. Very clean and spacious! Everything was updated. We didn’t have any issues and plan to stay again!
    We stayed here for our girls weekend and it was the absolute perfect set up. The 3 master suites worked perfectly for our group of 6 and the unit was clean, nicely decorated and spacious. Walking distance to pretty much everything and surrounded by great restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again!

    Jones Street Penthouse

    Stairs seem to be a theme in downtown Savannah. Located on the top floor of a gorgeous historic brick building on Jones Street, this rental is only suitable for those who can handle steep stairs as there is no elevator. But, once you make it up to the peaceful third-floor penthouse, you can enjoy its gorgeous views. There’s a private back door, but front door access is shared via the foyer. Private parking is provided for one car while free street parking is available for a second vehicle.

    Stayed here for a mother-daughter trip! It’s in a fabulous location, in walking distance to everything. The space was beautiful and we enjoyed it very much, but the bathroom really needs an upgrade. I’m tall and the shower head barely came up to my shoulders, so showers were awkward. The rust stains and grungy bathroom tiles didn’t appeal to me either. Finally, I’d really like to see a more cozy main living space. The couch is sunken in and doesn’t provide much comfort, which we hoped for after walking thousands of steps each day. The bedrooms have plenty of natural light and there are really nice upgrades that made it feel classy and new. The kitchen was perfect for us and we enjoyed sipping coffee in the mornings as we mapped out our day. I’d recommend this place and return, I just hope for an upgraded bathroom by then. Overall a great stay!
    It was a great place in a great location for our girls weekend (5 women). We were there only for a weekend. The only downside was the daybed was much more like a bench. We chose to sleep three in a bed. Otherwise, the listing was very accurate. Overall it was nicely decorated and well equipped for a weekend vacation.
    All I can say is BOOK IT. I am beyond happy we picked this place of all the choices we had to stay in historic Savannah. The location on E Jones St is phenomenal- there were so many beautiful homes directly around us! Right around the corner is Troupe Square. Really it’s easy to walk anywhere from here, but it’s also tucked in a quiet corner. There was usually plenty of street parking available (useful for friends meeting us) besides our reserved spot in the back (which was another indispensable luxury). Definitely check out the Fox and Fig around the corner! The place itself was adorable with lovely furnishings / accents throughout. The master suite had a very comfortable bed/bedding with gorgeous views of the huge live oak tree directly from the street below. I loved all the huge windows pouring in natural light in every room. It does get a little warm so we needed to keep the AC very low the entire time to keep up with the heat but it was fine and both bedrooms have great fans. It was very nice to have both front door (via the foyer and stairs which was also gorgeous) as well as rear door entrances and the digital lock systems were so easy and effective. We enjoyed not having to worry about a physical key. The kitchen was stocked with great quality matching sets but I was missing some tongs when I went to reheat some leftovers on a pan. No ice maker but we made do with storing the pre made ice from silicone trays provided. Also no filtered water system for drinking. I recommend investing in a Brita pitcher. The washer was great and liquid detergent was even provided (bring your own dryer balls or sheets) but the dryer was very tricky to start (old), however worked great once it turned on. Unplugging and replugging worked once. No biggie on any of these things. The bathroom wasn’t amazing but it was quite doable and had amazing water pressure with hot water almost instantly. It can take a while for the water to drain in the tub so I recommend not using as strong of water pressure. The shower head is a bit low, be warned tall folk, but it was great for me. Everything else was impeccable. Very clean, comfortable, beautiful place in a gorgeous neighborhood. Book it!
    It was such a wonderful apartment and a great location. The only thing is that it gets pretty warm even with the air conditioning and fans. I took my portable fan with me. I suggest putting a portable fan in each room for the summers. What a great location the apartment is in. So walkable.
    We really enjoy our stay. Nice location. Really charming penthouse lot of space . We will come back

    The owner was very accommodating. Because of the hurricane we only needed a room for one night and he allowed us to do that with an early check in. Location is great. We enjoyed our stay
    This beautiful property located in the heart of gorgeous Savannah gives you the ultimate experience of the city!
    Our 18m old twins loved all the space to run around. We walked to the park and walked to river street. It was 1.2 miles but we were there in less than 20 min. It is on the 3rd floor and no elevator but that did not bother us. Kitchen had everything we needed. We did not find parking a problem at all. Just read the signs of where to park! Outdoor balcony was nice to, great place to sit out and enjoy a cocktail.
    Short walk to Forsyth Park, very quiet area, cozy comfort.
    Pictures were spot on, great place for a girls weekend with an infant. Loved how close it was to everything!

    Broughton Street Loft

    Speaking of being in the center of the action, this 1860s loft is situated on historic Broughton Street in the center of four of Savannah’s famous squares: Ellis, Telfair, Johnson, and Wright. All of the city’s most popular attractions, including River Street, City Market, Forsyth Park, St. John the Baptist, the SCAD buildings, and several incredible restaurants and cafés, are all just steps away.

    Amazing access to the heart of downtown does mean there is some noise. Also, note that this loft is above the Savannah Bee Company on the top floor of a third-floor walkup, so visitors should be prepared to haul their luggage up a few flights of stairs.

    Came in town for a family wedding. This property was cheaper than renting 2 hotel rooms, had many more accommodations, location could not have better, and did I mention location location location. Easy walk to anywhere in the downtown area.
    Place was in a perfect location. Host was very responsive. Clean, modern, nice linens. Beds were comfortable. Had a blast! Would stay again for sure.
    When we decided to try a new, different destination for our anniversary, we decided upon this super cool location located in the heart of activity. The location offers many great places to shop, eat and/or explore. The loft is very much as listed and pictured. The hosts were communicative , helpful and kind. We enjoyed the city and all it had to offer and spent the evenings relaxing in the comfort of of this spacious loft.
    loved everything! great location. great city.
    Kim’s listing is just lovely! She made sure to outfit the loft with so many awesome touches. It was the perfect spot for a group of 5 on a bachelorette party. From the wireless phone chargers to all of the board games to the eclectic decor – we loved every second in the lost. Only downside and its not really a true downside but more of a cautionary tale – the loft is atop 3 flights of stairs so if you or anyone in your group has mobility issues its something to keep in my mind. My group had no trouble at all with it!

    Such a great property, close to everything. Having your own parking spot is the best.
    From the ease of access to getting to shops and restaurants, the cleanliness of the apartment, the comfortable beds and wonderful views, our trip was great. Having two cars presented a challenge. But we were able to park close and pay for parking.
    elegant- fabulous beds and bedding
    We absolutely LOVED staying at this property! Everything about it from the start of our trip to the end was amazing! The beds were extremely comfortable and we felt at home from the minute we walked in. We were very impressed with the cleanliness and would absolutely book again! It is sometimes a challenge to impress my husband and he said more than once how much he enjoyed our stay! We could not have been happier!
    We would definitely stay here again. GREAT location, walking distance to so much! Very clean and very responsive when you send emails.

    Our group of 9 had a wonderful time in the Whitman house. The location at Forsyth Park was perfect for seeing the historic district. The property managers were very prompt and attentive. The home is well appointed to suit a large group of people. Highly recommended.
    Great Place. 10/10 Recommend.
    Had a week stay at The Whitman with 10 family members. The property’s location was idyllic for exploring the city. The house was beautifully equipped. Plenty of room for the group with the 2 porches and 3rd floor game room. The 10-person dining table was an extra bonus as we were able to have several sit down meals together. The Whitman certainly delivered as a luxury rental. Will stay again next year!
    This house was just what we needed. It was spacious and what a kitchen. The house is located across a wonderful park. We loved the porches and being in a historic area. I would love to stay here again.
    The property is beautiful and inviting with every convenience imaginable. The location on Forsyth Park is picturesque and close to the Dot line. The manager is outgoing, helpful and very quick to respond to questions. We plan to visit again soon with more family.

    Although the listing calls it a “cottage,” this Vrbo obviously had a former life as a commercial building. It has been repurposed into a well-equipped vacation rental with a cute little courtyard patio. Situated on Jones Street, the one-bedroom, one-bath is within walking distance of several points of interest, including River Street, Forsyth Park, and City Market.

    Perfect location to walk to everything. Very clean, cute and quiet place to stay for two people.
    Place was perfect for my husband and my stay. It was great location and walking distance to downtown and River Street. Very cute and clean. Would definitely stay again.
    We enjoyed our stay in Savannah. The cottage was nice and cozy. The location was excellent and we were within walking distance to the downtown historic area. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. People in the area were also very friendly. Cindy is an excellent host; quick to respond to our questions and provided all the details needed for our stay. Thank you!
    My husband and I stayed here during our anniversary trip September 8-11. It was absolutely the cutest! Perfect for a couple. Had to reach out to the property owner a couple of times; she was very quick with her responses and extremely helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
