We stayed the weekend of the marathon. It was the perfect location. We never had to move our car, walked everywhere even to the grocery store. The weather was great to sit out and enjoy the park view. The owner is very detailed down to telling us how to work the ceiling fan in living room. Best vacation ever!!!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car.

Wonderful Homey Place Away From Home
Wonderful Homey Place Away From Home

This condo suited our needs just perfectly - 3 friends (2 from Europe) in town for a wedding and roommate reunion from Geneva, Switzerland. We loved the spaciousness, openness, 3 large and comfortable bedrooms, 2 porches, fabulous and convenient location (1/2 block from the wedding reception at The Mansion), steps from Forsyth Park, 2 blocks from a supermarket, and easy walking access to the Historic District and all of downtown Savannah. A new glass shower unit was installed in the 2nd bathroom just before we rented it (replacing the claw foot bathtub) - it was very convenient and efficient to have 2 baths with showers - great addition! We felt totally at home in our vacation base away from home. Mark was very gracious, accommodating and hospitable in helping out when necessary. This is a special rental and I would recommend it highly and without hesitation to anyone considering it (we enjoyed the extra exercise to the 3rd floor!). We had a wonderful stay in the condo and loved our visit to Savannah. We hope to come back again sometime in the near future.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Nancy - it was a pleasure meeting you! I'm glad you had a wonderful stay. Thanks again for your Feng Shui feedback, we'll be incorporating your ideas! Looking forward to your next visit.

I loved our time in this rental. I got married in Savannah during this time and booked the property for my my groomsmen to have for the weekend and I slept in the property for one night. Overall the layout is great, very roomy! The check in and out process was very simple. The location was great and the amenities make it very much like being at home. I would definitely stay here again and my groomsmen and their significant others all loved the space and the convenience of being able to stay together in one location.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car.
Owner response: Josh - Congratulations on your marriage! Savannah is a beautiful place for a wedding and I'm so glad your group had a wonderful stay at Forsyth on the Green.

The house was fabulous for our little girls getaway. The beds and linens were very comfy and the space was very accommodating and spacious all around. Only pieces of feedback for guests to would be to make sure and bring your own toiletries. Outdoor patio and back deck. Great location near The Mansion and directly across from Forsyth Park, short walk into the heart of downtown. It was a wonderful stay, and we had one of the most fun weekends of all time! The house and Mark's kindness and flexibility definitely added to our experience. We love Savannah, definitely going back!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, girls getaway, tourists without a car.
Owner response: Katie, It was wonderful to meet you! I'm so glad you had a wonderful Girl's Getaway weekend. I wanted to pass along your recommendations for: Dining: (1) The Public Kitchen and Bar (1 W Liberty St Savannah, GA 31401) (2) The Tavern (bottom floor of Mrs Wilke's). Transportation: (1) Pedicab back to the condo is the way to go! (2) Taxi - Adams A1 Company Looking forward to seeing you on your next trip! Mark

Old school charm with modern upgrades

I wanted to write a better review because I get the feeling that the owner tries to be a really great host without actually being there. He's super responsive, has a great check in / check out instructions pamphlet (you'll see, it's super cute), and just seems really NICE. The house, however, was not really what I expected. I expected a newer home (which maybe was just wishful thinking on my part) with 2 usable bathrooms. This home is more of a 1.5 bath - one of the bathrooms only has a bathtub, so we all had to share 1 bathroom to shower. That being said, the home was clean, and does have everything you need. The location is also literally right on Forsyth Park, although trees blocked our view of the park. We also ended up driving to the downtown area instead of walking, since the home is still about a mile+ away. .Owner response: Maggie, Thanks for your feedback. By definition, homes in a historic district tend to be older. The property was constructed 1905 with the most recent renovation performed in 2011. Our first bathroom has a combo bath/shower. At the time of your stay, our second bathroom was equipped with an antique claw foot bathtub which had a certain aesthetic appeal. However, I agree that practicality outweighs aesthetics. The tub was removed and replaced with a new corner shower. Please browse our photos to see our latest upgrade. Forsyth Park has a tree line planted on the entire exterior boundary that has grown over many decades. The third floor balcony offers a wonderful people watching perch. It is also a fine place to take in a beverage and occasionally take in the sounds of a concert from the nearby Forsyth Park band shell. The condo is located at the southern end of Savannah's historic district. The northern end is ~1.1 miles away. The majority of our guests park and never move their car until departure. A historic stroll down Bull Street provides an opportunity to take in the historic architecture and charm of this southern gem. For those times when walking is not viable, DOT offers a fare-free transportation in downtown Savannah with a pickup point conveniently located two blocks from the condo (reference Forsyth Park stop E9 on the ConnectOnTheDOT website). Regards, Mark

We had a wonderful time at the home. It was in a great location and convenient to many places of interest. The patio was nice and overlooked Forsyth Park. There are 3 flights of stairs to climb, but it wasn't bad at all, although some visitors may need to be aware. We would definitely stay here again!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car.
Owner response: Kami - so glad you had a wonderful time! The property is centrally located and convenient to so much that Savannah has to offer. A 3rd floor walk-up unit would be a challenge to mobility impaired guests. The sense of privacy and enjoyment of the balcony overlooking Forsyth Park makes the climb worthwhile! We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

We were here for my daughter's wedding at the Mansion and this townhouse could not have been any more perfect. The stairs could be a problem if you are out of shape but we had no issues. The owners are easily reached if there are any problems. We didn't read directions and therefore couldn't find the key at first. We called and they responded within 5 - 10 minutes. I highly recommend this place b/c it is central to anything in Old Town Savannah. Easily walked from here to River Street in 20 minutes. We were lazy and went to the Cafe in the park each morning for coffee and a bagel.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: Pegi, We're so glad you had a wonderful vacation at Forsyth on the Green! Thanks for your feedback. Our proximity to the Mansion (1 block north) is a major convenience for many of our guests. The condo is a 3rd floor walk-up unit and may not be suitable for mobility challenged guests. The location is awesome as I truly love Forsyth Park and its easy convenience to the Victorian and Historic Savannah districts. I haven't yet visited the Forsyth Cafe as I've been partial to my old love Sentient Bean at the south end of the park. Please visit us again!

We stayed here for my destination bachelorette party weekend and loved everything about this place! It was such a beautiful home inside and out, the girls loved being able to walk right out the door and be at Forsyth Park, and we were just blocks away from downtown Savannah and the historic district. We went on a haunted hearse tour one night, and the hearse picked us up directly from the house. It was a great location for a girls weekend and everyone was very impressed. I can't wait to come back with my husband!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: I'm so glad you had a great time! Savannah is a wonderful city and we host a lot of girl's get-away weekends. Please come back and see us again soon.

A wonderful stay that was close to the Mansion and many wonderful places about Forseyth Park. The stairs were not a concern for us but might be for those who need assistance. Very comfortable and safe. I would not hesitate to book again if in the area.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car.

It is within eash walking distance to local restuarants and attractions.
