A perfect cottage!

A perfect location - quiet, comfortable, cozy (would be crowded for more than two, however), and easily accessible to the historic district and walking to see the sights. The owners have made it very easy to find your way around the place and the community. We especially appreciated the complete and easy to follow instructions about using the tv/dvd, labeled light switches, information about trash and recycling pick-ups, notebook with information about how to use appliances and where to find nearby restaurants, etc. We also appreciated the fully equipped kitchen. For folks visiting Savannah for the first time we especially appreciated the basketful of brochures about attractions to see. That truly helped us plan and maximize our time in the city. The parking spot is small, but we could have used it (we have a van) but it was quite easy to park on the street (we were not there when street cleaning was scheduled). We definitely would stay again.

This cottage was even better than it looked online. It was clean, well-maintained, with a well equipped kitchen and cozy living room. It has a good location, just on the edge of the historic district but close enough to walk to everything, private and quiet. I would recommend this rental to anyone who loves to walk the city, yet be off the beaten path.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage! The accommodations were charming, nice kitchen, cute bathroom, comfortable bed. We did very little cooking as there are so many delightful restaurants to explore. The cottage was in walking distance from most sights. We have been VRBO enthusiasts for years, and this cottage would be high on our list to reccemnd.

We loved our six day stay at this spotless, welcoming, and charming cottage. It had everything we needed, and more. We loved the personality of the place, everything was up to date. It is a short run to Forsyth Park and an easy walk to town. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location. Walk to anywhere. Quiet, cozy, warm and inviting! Used the kitchen quite a bit, it was awesome. Did laundry before we left, so easy and the quietest machines. Comfy bed, beautiful lighting, nice outdoor space and friendly neighbors. Parking spot was small but we fit an Infiniti in it, just backed into it. We used the fireplace one rainy night, very romantic. Good water pressure in the bathroom, everything was neat, tidy and very clean.

We were delighted with our month’s stay in Jingle Bell Cottage. It’s kitchen was unusually well equipped for a rental; it’s interior was comfortable and decorated attractively with plenty of lights (and three TVs); and it was convenient to walk anywhere in the historic district. We hope to return for another stay in the near future.

My husband and I stayed at this cottage with our teenage daughter for 3 nights in early November, and could not have been more impressed. Communication with the owner was easy and his instructions were clear and easy to follow. We found the house with no problem and were able to park on the street as directed. The cottage is simply wonderful, beautifully renovated and artfully decorated. Both beds were extremely comfortable. We did not use the kitchen during our stay, but it was equipped with everything you could possibly need. There are clear instructions covering everything in the house, including how to use the TV remotes, and a binder listing local attractions/restaurants, etc. No detail is overlooked. The location is perfect – walking distance to any part of the historic district and close to many restaurants. We highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again in the future.

We have used VRBO for many years and this is one of the best experiences we have had. The cottage is adorable. I wanted to move right in! It is within walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The owner was very responsive to emails and answering any questions we had. We even received numerous emails prior to our arrival letting us know about special deals and events. My only comment would be (and this is not a negative), it is not easy to find. The parking is actually off an alley and not the street listed as the address. Also, the owner says parking is intended for a small car - he means SMALL!!! We had no problem fitting our car, but the passenger had to get out first or the door wouldn't open! Again, this isn't meant as a negative - only to inform other renters. There is plenty of other parking nearby We would absolutely rent this cottage again. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Owner response: Thanks for describing your parking experience. We have successfully parked our own Toyota Highlander SUV in our private space, but felt that describing the space as intended for a "small" car would be more practical. Parking in Savannah is a bit of a grab bag. There are areas in the Historic District that have meters, which either means buying a visitor's parking permit, or getting up before 8am to feed the meter. Our neighborhood doesn't have meters and many of our guests choose street parking over squeezing into our dedicated parking space. None of our guests have reported difficulty in finding street parking close by. One guest did fail to read the signs about overnight opposite-side street sweeping and got a ticket.

Great Location - Clean, Comfortable, and Quiet

Review Submitted 10/09/12

My husband and I came down for a long weekend during Oktoberfest and were SO happy with the Jingle Bell Square Cottage! The owner responded quickly to my initial inquires and working with him was a breeze. The location of the cottage was fantastic - we were able to walk everywhere in downtown Savannah, from Kroger to River Street, and not have to worry about the car (plenty of safe parking on the street). The cottage was clean, quiet and comfortable - we really could not have asked for anything else. All the recommendations and information about restaurants and attractions was extremely helpful as well. The Firefly Cafe was great for brunch! The Public, a newer restaurant that recently oped and located a short walk down Liberty St was fantastic as well. We even contacted the property manager the first night about the internet not working and she responded quickly and fixed the problem right away (we just had to restart the modem). I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing time in Savannah and should we visit again we will definitely be looking to book here again.

Charming and Quaint Cottage

Review Submitted 10/03/12

We headed to Savannah to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this charming cottage because it was so relaxing and quite but also not too far from River Street. We did get tired of walking some evenings so we helped out local college students by taking a pedicab. We cooked breakfast every morning since we had a fully equipped modern kitchen so it was nice to have that choice. The décor is very quaint with a mixture of modern and vintage. It was very clean and all the toiletries were provided. It was an added bonus to be able to do laundry so we didn't have to dread it when we went home. Richards was very helpful during the entire process and very quick to respond. The property manager called the first morning to make sure we were all set and that was very reassuring. We highly recommend the Jingle Bells Square Cottage.

Our visit to Savannah was even more pleasant because of our stay at Jingle Bell Cottage. It was welcoming with its modern kitchen, comfortable bedding and quaint decor throughout. We felt as though we were really in the heart of the city. Richards has been helpful during the entire process, even suggesting various events during our stay. Staying here was so much better than a hotel, given the room and feel of the place. We would recommend it to anyone wanting an enjoyable visit.

We booked this cottage last minute and we had a wonderful time. Communication with owner was good. E-mails were answered within the same day, usually within 2 hours. We stayed with 3 adults and a 10 month old baby. We brought our own pack 'n play, which fitted perfectly in the bedroom. One adult slept on the pull out sofa, which was in her words the most comfortable pull out sofa she ever slept on. Cottage was very clean and lovely decorated. Fully equipped kitchen, which was wonderful, I cooked every day of our stay and the cookware was great! Property manager called the first morning to check if everything was all right. Location if cottage is great too! We could walk to all main attractions/ shopping. Tybee island about 30 minute drive. We enjoyed the beach too!

What a delight...it was an ideal way to enjoy Savannah! The place is way better in person - really great decor, super clean and comfy space, well stocked everything (kitchen, bathroom, local guides, etc.). It's in a great location walkable to everything in the historic district. And Richard was super responsive and helpful all throughout the process (even forwarded some tour discounts ahead of time). We've been renting on homeaway for years and this was one of our favorites!

We stayed in this outstanding cottage for 3 nights in June to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday. I cannot recommend this property or its owner more highly. We were spending 3 weeks touring the south-eastern states and needed to book at short notice (we emailed on a Sunday evening and had a response almost immediately) Then spoke to the owner first thing Monday to complete the booking for Tuesday. The location is perfect you are in a quiet area within the historic district a 10-minute walk to the riverfront through gorgeous streets and squares. The owner has provided everything within the cottage. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could conceivably need. The master bedroom is lovely with a very comfortable bed and the pull out sofa bed in the lounge was, ‘the best thing she’d slept on ever’- according to our 13 year old daughter. The deck was ideal for a relaxing breakfast before going off to explore the wonder that is savannah. The interior décor is breathtaking and you can see the owner has given considerable thought to the cottages restoration. I can’t imagine a better place to have spent my wife’s birthday it made the day and our holiday even more memorable. Why stay in a mundane carbon copy chain hotel when for the same (or in some cases less) money you could have your own little piece of history

Savannah is my favorite place to vacation and now the Jingle Bells Square Cottage is my new favorite place to stay! The cottage was clean and had modern appliances yet had a historical feel. It was close to several good restaurants and not too far to walk to River Street. Parking was available on the street but make sure you're not parked there on street-cleaning day which was Saturday or you will get ticketed!

Owner response: Savannah is one of the few cities in America that has scheduled street sweeping - it's one of the things that keeps Savannah so beautiful. Street sweeping in the Historic District occurs on each street on a weekly basis on the same night each week. There are signs on each street that post the nights and times for alternate side schedules. If parking overnight on streets in the district be sure to read the signs and park on the side of the street that isn't being swept.

Super cozy cottage!

Guest Christi M.

Review Submitted 05/15/12

It was such a cute cottage! We had a great time, everything was clean, and everything was wonderfully stocked. The only suggestion I would have for improvement is to add a memory foam mattress topper to the bedroom's bed. You can get 1 at overstock.com for 150 dollars, and it would make all the difference in the world. We ended up sleeping on the pullout couch in the living room because of the air mattress, which was with a lot softer than the actual bed. Regardless, it was an ultra comfortable stay, and I would definitely, definitely come back again! The location was fabulous...right down the street from the firefly cafe, which I love! Pretty much everything was within walking distance, and Savannah is just breathtaking at night. The samples of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion were a nice touch, too!

Owner response: Guest feedback has shown us that some like a firm mattress, while others prefer something softer. We have purchased a memory foam mattress topper. It’s removable, so our guests who like a firm mattress can take it off during their stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage! The decor was a great mix of modern and vintage-super clean and classy! Everything you could possibly need is provided, from toiletries, down to brochures for places of interest. It was so nice to come back to our own private "home" each night. Everything you want from the Historic District is convenient from this location, and there was plenty of parking. Having the fridge and washer and dryer was so handy! The neighbor was a bit noisy at night, but it was tolerable. I read that the owner is now providing a mattress topper, which is a nice touch, and shows that he is very accommodating to guests. We highly recommend this location, you will be very pleased!

We have rented several very nice places in Savannah, but we think this is our favorite! Very near Troup Square, this neighborhood is quiet which we like. And the 2 restaurants within yards of the cottage are excellent. This cottage has everything we like to have, and it is decorated with great style which we appreciate. All communication has been quickly and professionally conducted. Everything worked as it should. By the way, the air mattress on the sofabed was very comfortable! We are hoping to snag this place for our next visit!!!

Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells was even nicer than the pictures. It was very clean, great living space and really comfortable pull out couch. The kitchen had everything you needed - even though we didn't use anything because we were there for 2 nights. Richard was so accomodating, we booked on the Tuesday and flew out the Thursday, and he had everything processed and ready to go. The location is fantastic- walking distance to everything- we had a car and only used it to go to Tybee Island. We would recommend Debi's which is now called Laurie's- good old fashion food- Fried chicken sandwich was so good. It is so beautiful in Savannah, lots to see and lots of shopping in small stores. Highly recommend Jingle Bells.

Owner response: We're always happy to receive suggestions from our guests. It's nearly impossible to find the perfect mattress for a wide variety of different people. The manufacturer describes this queen-size bed as Firm - not Extra Firm, not Soft. Mattress Toppers can add a level of softness, but can also be hot to sleep on.

I just got back from spending three nights in the Jingle Bells Cottage and had to write a review before I forgot all of the details. The Jingle Bell Cottage exceeded my expectations - it was fantastic in every way. To start with, the owner, Richards, was wonderful to work with via telephone and email. He was professional, informative and incredibly fast with all communications. I had read other reviews that alluded to such and I found it to be true. Excellent service. My husband and I had driven all day and arrived at the cottage around 6:30 p.m. It was easy to locate, easy to enter (following Richards' directions) and we were even able to park our midsized SUV in the small parking space to the rear. The cottage is stunning - I told my husband that I wish we could uproot the whole thing and take it home with us! No detail is overlooked. Kudos to Richards and his wife for creating such a beautiful, eclectic space. I wish my own home had the same style and panache. Unique art work throughout the house - very cool to take it all in. The furnishings are top notch. Very comfortable bed and couch. We had to check the tags on the couch because we liked it so much. We're in the market for a new one and we've found what we want! The bed linens and towels are of fine quality - very soft and luxurious. Small bathroom, but well equipped. I was even able to enjoy a nice, relaxing bath during an afternoon shower. Perfect! The kitchen is gorgeous and we got some good use out of it. Nice stainless steel appliances and a gas stove. Dishwasher, too. We ended up cooking a couple of meals just because we enjoyed being at 'home' so much. The washer and dryer were a great addition, too. It was nice to come home with clean laundry. I was impressed to find that laundry detergent was provided, as well as everything else we could have needed - trash bags, soaps, shampoo, paper towels, dishwashing detergent, even some spices, oils and vinegars. I only have one caution and it is that the unit is essentially a duplex with the bedroom wall shared between the two units. We could hear the neighbors next door - they weren't very loud, but I woke up a few times on one particular night listening to commotion next door. My only suggestion would be to possibly install a ceiling fan in the bedroom. The rest of the house was a bit cooler than that room. Overall, a five star experience. We can't wait to stay again. I would tell everyone I know to stay here - it's awesome!

The cottage is all we hoped to find, and more. We found the Owner to be highly supportive and keeping the guests' comfort and convenience uppermost in the transaction. The interior is bright and cheerful with high-grade trim, finishes, framed art, and appliances. It is also well supplied with the necessities. The location is very convenient for walking or pedaling throughout the historice district. We'll definitely stay there again during future visits to Savannah.

We stayed in Jingle Bells Square Cottage for 4 nights. It was a great place to stay in that it met all our needs, plus more. The cottage was very roomy - big family room/dining room with comfortable furniture to relax on. The bedroom was very nice with room for everything - hanging clothes, putting clothes in drawers, and keeping things in the nightstands. There is a full size, very nice washer and dryer. The kitchen had everything necessary as well, although we didn't cook any dinners in the cottage, we easily could have. We found everything to be very clean and everything was just as it was advertised to be. We walked from the cottage everywhere. We parked when we arrived and didn't move the car until we left. We easily walked to all the areas in the historic district and the waterfront. It was actually nice to walk home each evening after having a big meal! We went to a show at the Savannah Theater (great show, great fun!) and walked home afterwards. There's no issues walking anywhere to and from the cottage at night, and the streets in the area are beautiful to walk down. The cottage is decorated so nicely, it felt like staying in a comfortable home. It was very private as well, with both a front and back entrance and exit. There is a private parking space for a small car, but there is also plenty of street parking available if you want to come and go in your car and the streets are very wide. The owners are very nice to work with. We had to change our initial reservation date by two weeks and it was done for us without hesitation. The property manager called to check on us the first day. We would definitely and without hesitation recommend this cottage for a stay in Savannah.

This was our third trip to the wonderful annual Savannah Music Festival and our third VRBO for the event. The Jingle Bells Square Cottage was definitely our favourite and the one to which we hope to return. It was everything it says it is. Our favourite features were the fact that it was so bright and that we had our own little deck (overlooking the courtyard) out the back door. We enjoyed our morning coffee there as well as our happy hour glass of wine. The bed was comfortable (another thing important to us), the kitchen well-equipped, and the sitting room was perfect for reading and relaxing (well situated lamps which are also not always the case) . The location is absolutely perfect, walking distance to everything. The little parking space was also a bonus.

We were able to just park our car and walk to the parade as well as all the activities on River Street. The cottage had everything and was so very clean. Much better then a hotel room. Richards was a pleasure to deal with as well. Thanks again - we will be back for sure!!!!

My husband and I just returned from 5 nights at the Jingle Bells Square Cottage. This was our first visit to Savannah and we were visiting our son in nearby Statesboro. The cottage met all our expectations, well furnished, cozy, clean and a convenient walk to anywhere in the Historic District. The picture perfect weather and the azaleas in full bloom added to our wonderful stay. Our son stayed with us a few days, and the cottage was roomy enough for 2-3 people. The washer/dryer was a plus. This was our first experience with VRBO and Richards was great to work with!

My partner and I stayed at Jingle Bells Square Cottage for the weekend and we really loved returning to this charming homebase each evening. It is very attractively decorated and every detail has been seen to. The kitchen is lovely and had everything we needed. It was easily walkable to the historic areas of town--we only needed the car to get to a larger grocery store. We would definitely return to enjoy another visit to Savannah.

Our stay at this very charming Jingle Bells cottage was outstanding. Before we even arrived, we expected good things, because Richards provided very thorough customer service. Upon arrival, we were very impressed as we walked through the cottage and noted how well it was appointed - not only the decor, but also the amenities. There is nothing that is overlooked here. The linens are luxurious, and the kitchen has everything we needed. The location also works very well. While it is a bit away from the center of the historic district, all attractions are walkable at a mile or less away. I wished we could have stayed longer!

My fiance and I spent a week here, and it felt like home. The cottage is cozy, warm, and stocked with everything you need to feel like a resident of the beautiful Hostess City. We have spent a good amount of time in Savannah, and this has been our favorite place yet. The location is just close enough that you're in the beautiful historic district, but with a little distance for peace and quiet, as well as the resident feel. Also, the service and process for the rental was beyond excellent. Would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend to anyone visiting.

My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Savannah. We fell in love with the city, especially The Jingle Bell Cottage. Tucked away on a quiet street, the houses look like dollhouses. The cottage is newly renovated and decorated with a touch of modern contemporary and a touch of antique at the same time. It's small but has everything you need. We rent from vrbo all the time and this is my all-time favorite. It's big enough to sleep 4 if you need it with the pullout couch, but was very roomy for the two of us. I loved the soft, soothing colors of the walls with soft blues, yellow, and white. The linens were top quality. The bathroom had the cutest little sink! The kitchen had stainless steel appliances, nice cabinets, and granite countertops. The location was great. I loved all the furnishings which again was a mix of new and old. You could park the car and walk within a mile to anywhere you needed to go. Don't miss seeing St. John the Baptist Cathedral which is just up the block. We will definitely come back and rent The Jingle Bell Cottage again. You will not be disappointed. Also, the owners were very good to work with. Thanks for providing us with this adorable little cottage.

My wife and I spent four nights in the cottage. It exceeded expectations. The location was great, parking on the street was always available. (The carport was a little tight for our vehicle). Did takeout dinners from Zunzi's, which we recommend for great, affordable food. Very private and quiet accommodations. Nicely firnished and appointed. No complaints whatsoever. Thanks, Richards. We have used VRBO many times, but had a bad experience in Atlanta, no thanks to VRBO. The landlord breached their agreement, and since we never actually stayed in the unit, we could not leave feedback. Apparently VRBO only wants positive reviews. Sheila from customer service did a terrible job. This paragraph is NOT related to the Jingle Bells Cottage, which, again, was wonderful..

My wife and I recently attended a wedding in Savannah. We stayed in The Jingle Bell Cottage and had a wonderful time. The accommodations were quite nice. We had all the room we needed and the furnishings were adequate. The cottage is in a great area and everything you would want to see is in walking distance. What a great location. A great big thank you to Kathy for putting us in touch with Richards. He was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend The Jingle Bell Cottage to anyone wanting a clean and convenient location while staying in Savannah.

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We had the priviledge of being the first guests of this newly renovated property. We enjoyed our stay, it is very comfortable and in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We had 3 adults which was snug, it would be great with a couple and child. I would recommend this property to a friend, everything is nicely done and decorated. The owner, Richards was great to work with, you couldn't ask for someone more accommodating. The property manager, Kathy, was great as well!
