Hearken back to simpler times with a stay in the Crow's Nest and/or the adjacent Captain's Quarters, two fully-restored downtown properties within an easy walk or bike ride to Savannah's most popular venues, including River Street, beautiful Forsyth Park, the Juliet Gordon Low House and other fine museums, City Market and an array of dining, shopping and entertainment options.
Back in its historic heyday, Savannah was a bustling seaport town. "Cotton was King," and the ship captains who successfully delivered this precious commodity into the hands of mill owners in New England and Europe often had more money than time on land to spend it! During their infrequent stays on terra firma, they furnished their houses with reminders of life on the open sea and unique treasures from their travels afar.
During your time at the Crow's Nest, you'll be well-positioned to fully enjoy the mystique of author John Berendt's "Garden of Good and Evil," wandering among Savannah's famous Spanish-moss draped squares, trying its unique local cuisine, and exploring the fascinating and sometimes chilling stories of its colorful past and present.
During your stay you'll enjoy tasteful furnishings, professional decor and comfortable, newly-restored surroundings. If you're looking for the perfect couple's getaway or affordable small family retreat, you will love the Crow's Nest, a fun, funky carriage house property. Making good use of every inch of available space, the Crow's Nest packs in a fully-equipped kitchen, an open living/dining area with queen sleep sofa, and a quaint spiral staircase leading to a loft with a ship-style, built-in double bed and full bath.
Should you need either larger accommodations, or enough additional room besides the Crow's Nest to sleep up to 12 persons (perhaps a wedding party or family group), you'll be glad to know that the Captain's Quarters, a lovely cottage built in 1887 and sitting adjacent to the Crow's Nest, features two additional bedrooms, each with its own bath, plus spacious living and dining areas, a working fireplace and a fully-equipped kitchen capable of producing cuisine from the simple to the sublime! In addition, the main house features a brand-new leather sleep sofa and, upstairs in the loft, a double-size trundle to comfortably sleep, in all, up to eight additional individuals. (See more information at VRBO listing #83751.)
During your stay in either property, you can enjoy Savannah's warm year-round temperatures in the homes' private courtyard, featuring lush tropical plantings, and ample deck and patio seating. In addition, the Captain's Quarters has a private roof deck for stargazing, sunbathing, reading or just catching a nap! Both properties also enjoy plenty of free, on-street parking (not always a given in Savannah's busy downtown!
If you feel like getting out, pack a picnic and stroll two blocks over to the lush lawns by the Forsyth Park fountain for an afternoon or evening idyll, head down to the river to watch the ships come in, browse the many quaint shops and galleries downtown and/or enjoy the vibrant nightlife of River Street and City Market--it's all right here!
