Perfect Location and Perfect Condo
Guest: LDHouston

Review Submitted: 11/12/09
My boyfriend's sister had her wedding in Savannah, with her ceremony being in Forsythe Park, and this turned out to be the perfect location for us. Between running around town for wedding needs and also squeezing in some sightseeing, this location could not have been more perfect. It's only about 2 blocks from the park and a short drive or nice walk to everything else. Not only was the location ideal but the condo was too cute. It had everything we needed, including an adorable courtyard that helped us unwind after long days. We loved having a kitchen too - there are tons of great restaurants but it's also nice to be able to wake up and make a pot of coffee and a good breakfast. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone and everyone (I'm actually trying to talk my parents into visiting now). We had 4 adults staying there and it was the perfect size for us. We definitely did not want to leave. Thanks Deb and Charles! We had a great time :)
Owner response:We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you return with your family. I love weddings in Forsyth park!

Great Place to call Home in Savannah

My daughter and I spent a week in The Artist House. Very centrally located to historic areas and beach. We were never scared and it had everything that we needed and was extremely clean. Chuck and Deb have thought of everything and it had such "personality" unlike an expensive hotel. Loved the off-street parking. We will definitely stay there on a return trip and I definitely recommend The Artist House for your stay.

Your house is fantastic! Beautifully decorated; loved the courtyard; a very comfortable home-away from home. The location was perfect of us. We spent our days at the beach, cooked out on the courtyard grill in the evenings, and later walked to and/or road the bikes in the backyard to nearby Forsyth park. We'll definitely return. In fact, I tried to rent your property recently but, unfortunately, it wasn't available. Believe me...I will try again!

Cute and Cozy

This condo is great! It is clean, cute, cozy and walking distance from just about everything. The kitchen is fully stocked and easy to use. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place to call home while staying in Savannah. However, 5 adults found the condo a little tight. Two of the beds are only full size making them a bit small for two adults and comfy seating in the living room for 5 required a little bit of rearranging of furniture. Chuck and Deb were great to work with as we tried to get money from 3 states to pay and were gracious hosts. Easily five stars.

We stayed this last weekend and had a wonderful time. The house is very well maintained and extremely clean. The bedding is all in good condition and we all slept quite well. We've stayed at several vacation rentals on the coast of NC for spring break and none were this nice. Anything you may have forgotten was provided including hand soap, toiletries and tissue. The house is beautiful and the courtyard garden was a wonderful extra space for the kids. An earlier review suggested it was overgrown. It was lovely, I'm not quite sure what that person saw that I didn't. I would highly recommend this house. Although it was a slightly longer walk to the river, we were right next to Forsyth park and in a very nice quiet neighborhood. Parking was a breeze and the streets nearby were easy to navigate. Within walking distance we recommend Blowin Smoke for family friendly BBQ. We easily walked to Leopold's for ice cream and loved it.

Peaceful and Convenient

The Artist house ( Upper) was small, but very adequate for two people. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed, except a washer and dryer. It was quiet and the location was very convenient for walking to Forsythe Park and local cafes. Savannah is a wonderful historic city and has so much character. Many of the homes were huge and beautiful! The people were friendly and the pace was slow. The shopping was great and there were hundreds of restaurants to pick from,. It was so much better to stay in an apartment as opposed to a hotel. The only two complaints I had were that the courtyard was very overgrown and needed to be better maintained and it also would be helpful to put a washer and dryer in the bathroom in the corner where the mirror is. That would save carrying the laundry up and down the stairs. Thanks for everything!.

Great little house

We had 3 couples stay at this cozy little rental in the upstairs portion of the house. Good location with plenty of parking at an open lot across the street. I trailered a boat which I was concerned about being able to get it around downtown. This house worked out beautifully. We kept the boat in the water at Hogans Marina, they were incredibly helpful and the fishing was great. What an awesome town to hit both the bars and the ocean. Stopped by the Crab Shack on Tybee and ate our fill of seafood. I would recommend this house to anyone, especially for the price. The house was well set up and had really everything we needed, didnt need to bring/buy little things like toilet paper, coffee, sugar ect..it was already there. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

We enjoyed our stay and found the house comfortable. We were lacking sheets for the pull out bed but once we made Deb aware of the situation we had sheets well before bedtime. The location is convenient to the many parks and within walking distant to downtown. We enjoyed the many amenities that came with our stay such as beach items, bikes, wifi and ect. We would recommend the house for a stay in Savannah.

This place was perfect! Exactly what we were looking for. Close to the park and downtown.

When we arrived, we found that we were on the second floor instead of the first floor as previous emails stated. No picnic basket available. Had to contact the owner of the property for deposit refund when we were told they would contact us. This property rental is NOT for anyone who can climb any stairs. The stair are extremely steep and long. The chairs were not beach compatable. The garden out back was infested with bugs and mosquitos. When we arrived, there were termites climbing the walls in the bathroom. The tub didn't drain properly, therefore leaving you standing in your dirty bath water. NOT RECOMMENDED.
Owner response:We are very sorry you did not have a pleasant stay. I mistakenly sent you the lower floor receipt which I apologized for, but you did request listing 17324 which is the upper floor. and is on our emails. If I had known you had difficulty with steep stairs I would have made you aware. The picnic basket is on the shelf above the stove/stemware. The property description says a beach basket and towels, not beach chairs- But we have added "beach" chairs as well. We would have responded immediately to the water drainage problem and the insects inside if you had let us know-if we are not told about problems then we cannot fix them,( these problems have been fixed). As far as the courtyard, it is hard to control insects outside, especially for summer in Savannah. I leave insect repellant and citron candles. Again, I am sorry it was not what you expected. We have always strived to make our guests comfortable and happy! Sincerely, Chuck and Deb
