Savannah Dream Vacations
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Savannah
When I traveled thru Savannah in 1994 for the first time, I immediately fell in love with the City. I knew then that I wanted to own a piece of history. I also knew I wanted it to be on Forsyth Park, as it`s just like Central Park in NY. Of course so did everyone else. When the opportunity finally arose in 2000 to acquire the historic George Hummel House it was a dream come true.
After nearly 8 years of renovation it`s restored to it`s former beauty. Come and experience History.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Our home is conveniently located in the heart of Savannah’s downtown landmark historic district overlooking Forsyth Park. Guests can easily walk to our beautiful green squares & other historic sites. There are many shops and fine restaurants within a few minutes walk.We have off-street parking , so you don`t have to wrry about those pesky parking meters. Most of our guests park there car and never use while here.
An easy walk http://savannahdreamvacations.com/walk.php from our Home to the famous Lady & Son's restaurant near the new Ellis Square!
The line for lunch forms early so get there early. Still a local favorite restaurant with southern comfort food served family style. You have to take your own plate to the kitchen!
A little bit of everything including Vinnie Van GoGo's Pizza (they only take cash.) Lot's of shops and some other great restaurants. Live music most Thurs - Sat.
Site of Savannah College of Art & Design graduation in addition to concerts and plays.
Organic, fair trade, and home made food, drinks, art, and entertainment. http://www.sentientbean.com/
Brighter Day Natural Foods - deli, produce, product reviews, lectures, on-line health and wellness info, and glorious organic

What a great home . Onwers did a outstanding job restoring it. We loved the house and especially the location so much we made an offer to buy it. sadly they declined. It really felt like home and I hope one day we can live here.

We stayed in many vacation rentals all over the world and even in Savannah, but this one truly stands out. It really captures the charm of the city, the blend of old and new is so well done, I asked the owner if he would renovate my house too :) . We loved the location, right on the park and within walking distance to everything. The free off street parking was greatly appreciated, we never used our car and never had to worry about a meter or expensive parking garages. This is the Home we`ll be staying in from now on on our savannah visits. The owners are very friendly too, Manderly is a real southern lady. What a joy.

We come to Savannah all the time and always stayed in a hotel. Then a friend told us about vacation rentals and we gave it a shot. What a pleasant surprise it was. This Home is immaculate. We found it hard to believe the owners would let us stay there. Everything was there too, linens, towels, shampoo, soap, hairdryers, coffee, even tea. We loved the location right on the park. We got up every morning and walked around, there is a little coffee shop just around the corner, where we grabbed fresh bagels. Can`t wait to be back.
Owner response:Hi Christine glad you enjoyed it. We have all the amenities a Hotel has, plus many extras you don`t find in a hotel, nit to mention you have a lot more space and actually can socialize with your friends around the dinner table. Hope you`ll be back soon.

Perfect !! This was the best Home we ever stayed in in Savannah and we stayed in a few. Normally don`t leave a review, my mom used to say, " If you don`t have anything nice to say don`t say anything at all " Well I finally have something nice to say, this is the best vacation rental in Savannah, look no further. Great owners too.
Owner response:Hello Ashlee Thank you so much for your kind review. We`re glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We, Savannah Dream vacations , has been voted best vacation rentals 2011. We`re proud in what we do and hope we`ll get to host you again soon.

We wanted a nice place to stay with our children for Halloween and came across this listing on VRBO. It looked very good and from the reviews it seemed great too. It was even better than we imagined. The people at Savannah Dream vacations are extremely friendly, especially Manderly, she`s a real southern darling. She came after we locked ourselves out and even so it was already 10pm on a Saturday evening, she still had a big smile and even brought some candy for the kids !! I`m glad we decided against a Hotel, the Home was so much nicer and more spacious than a Hotel, plus we were there for a week, so it was nice to have a full kitchen and not to have to go out all the time. It felt like we were really living there and experiencing the city like Savannahnians do. The park right across the road seems to be the heart of Savannah. We went to the Farmers Market, Jazz fest was right there and it was just wonderful lively. We can`t wait to be back

Vielen dank and Manderly und Roman ( er ist Deutscher ) für die tolle Wohnung. Sie hat wirklich alle unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Ganz tolle Lage, mitten in der Altstadt, direkt am Park. Wir haben unseren Mietwagen kein eiziges mal benutzt. Falls wir irgendwann mal wiederkommen wissen wir schon wo wir wohnen werden. LG Theresa

Beautiful home exterior. Beautiful upper condo. Beautiful city. Perfect home-base location. Great walk through the squares from the rental. Perfect for 2 couples to lodge on vacation or 2 individuals traveling together. Concierge services are highly recommended. We felt right at home, and, if the city had not offered so much to see and do, we could have just stayed in the rental, watched DVDs, cooked, relaxed, etc. We even experience some of the famous Savannah haunting with the playful activity of the fan and fan lights. Hope to be back some day!

Dear Jeanne, Thank you for the lovely stay at the townhouse, it was really nice. I did want to ask you something about it. On four different occasions, while we were there staying, 3 times at night, our lights in our room, just came on by themselves while we were asleep. I was curious if anyone else experienced that. With all the talk from the tour guides about the "ghosts" around Savannah, it made me wonder??? Also did you know that the townhouse was also mentioned on the historic Oglethorpe tour we went on, very interesting!!! Thanks, Jennifer Hamm
