Amazing Place to stay in Historic Savannah

We LOVED this house, and its location. We are three adults visiting Savannah for the first time, as a reunion. We stayed in the downstairs 2 bedroom unit. The house has everything you could ask for. Loved the courtyard and spent many hours there with a cup of coffee or bottle of wine. The bicycles provided an easy way to see every inch of the historic district since my husband has a "foot issue" and cannot walk long distances. We could have spent the entire time at the house and been happy there, but this city has so much to see and do! The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds were comfy, the living room is spacious with plenty of cozy couches! Loved that we could keep the back door to the patio opened and fill the home with the perfect breeze. We met the owner, Chuck and he is very friendly with helpful suggestions for our visit. So very convenient having our own parking spot also, which many homes do not have. We will be back, hopefully soon!

Overall good accomodations for the price.

Easy to find, great parking spaces, kitchen nicely quipped, courtyard area well maintained and relaxing, wireless internet easy to access, very short walk to Forsythe Park, close to historic downton area.

Construction noise and loud traffic a bit of a nuisance. Second bedroom is very very small with two adults just barely squeezing in. Luggage stands for suitcases would be nice. Direction for using TV/DVD combo would be helpful and TV could be upgraded.

Owners do a good job providing tourist information and many essentials for a comfortable stay.
Would definitely rent again.

fine home, terrific garden

Three adults stayed here for three days in March. While not high end (and we didn't expect that), the furnishings were very comfortable and the garden was a total delight. We had wine and dinner there two of the three evenings. The location of the house is excellent for walking throughout the historic district. The only complaint was the difficulty of making the TV/DVD work. We wanted to watch the news and a DVD but had great trouble with the controls. Otherwise this was definitely 5 stars for us.

My son and I came to this property so that he could participate in Georgia All State Chorus. It is a short walk to the Civic Center, where his rehearsals were held, or a bike ride, which he preferred. I was able to enjoy the courtyard and the wi-fi allowed me to get a little work done while I was here. This is a very comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood and was very clean and in good order for our visit.

Terrific value for the price -- a well kept property with a lovely courtyard. We ate about 1/2 of our meals at the house -- Kroger's is an easy drive, and even walkable if you are in fairly good shape and like to walk. Very easy walk to Forsyth Park, Georgia Historical Society, Mercer-Williams House, and several lovely squares. It is also a nice place to relax when you need a break. Very easy to work with Deb & Chuck!

The Visitor Information Center on MLK Blvd. was a great place to start. Friendly, knowledgable staff, and they offer a good deal on a parking pass -- good for several ramps and all meters (except those with 1-hr. limits).

FOOD: Blowin' Smoke BBQ on MLK Blvd. is a 4-block walk from the house -- great food and beer. We also enjoyed a 5-star dinner at River House Seafood & Bakery and a good breakfast at Huey's -- both on River Street.

HOUSE TOURS: Williams-Mercer House KNOWS how to do a tour -- the best of the lot. Owens-Thomas and Davenport also have very good tours. We were a little disappointed with the Green-Meldrim tour, but it was OK.

CEMETERIES: The Old Colonial and Bonaventure cemeteries were very interesting.

We took a brief trip out to Tybee Island and Old Fort Jackson -- ran out of time, so did not see Fort Pulaski.

We highly recommend The Savannah Walking Tour & Guidebook ($5.95). We used it alot and several locals told us that it was the best guidebook. Easy-to-follow walking tours with good historical information. Nicely done.

Everything you needed that you forgot to bring!!!!

The condo was just as the picture showed...It was very clean with so many extras that you don't think to bring with you and the kitchen was fully loaded with spices,coffee,condiments,even aluminum foil....these extra things add up at the grocery store and then you have to haul them all back home with you...They were there when we arrived. For you beach lovers theres everything you need to take to the beach and enjoy the day chairs,umbrellas,sunscreen,towels,coolers etc.... And it has 2 tv's which I really loved because then I could watch something I like when he was watching sports. There is a new grocery store and at least 4 well known fastfood chains within a couple of blocks which was very helpful to us. Deb and her husband were really down home friendly southern people. They were helpful in getting us set up on such a short notice. So I would recommend staying here. For the price it is well worth it and a motel room doesn't even compare~~~~~~~~P.S. I even seen the police cruising really slow down the streets at night. So this made me feel really safe in this big nice tourist town...Plenty of shopping,eating,drinking and siteseeing for everyone.....Have a great time we did.....

Character home, good location

We stayed here Nov. 2-9, 2010 and all was perfect. Loved being in a neighborhood rather than hotel, especially in this home full of character, art and special touches. A pleasure to just 'stay home' some evenings, cook our own meal, watch a DVD or read a book (Chuck & Deb have provided several about Savannah). Great location: 2 short blocks to Forsyth Park, a few more to downtown. Lots of info in the rental about things to do/see. Walking everywhere is a joy: historic architecture, many lovely squares and, oh, those majestic live oaks draped with spanish moss (sigh). A week isn't long enough for seductive Savannah to reveal all of her charms, but it's definitely long enough to achieve a
very pleasant state of swooning.

I stayed in the upper room this past weekend and had a wonderful time. The bikes came in handy, and the rooms were more than what I had expected. The antiques and artwork gave the place a real Savannah feel adding to our already wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this place to others. This was my first experience with using vrbo dot com, and I am thoroughly impressed. Sorry hotels dot com, you don't compare.
