About this property
Spacious home in the Historic District. Sleeps 8. Free Parking
Stay in a spacious, well-appointed home on the eastern edge of the Historic District Free with free street parking.
Our home works beautifully for family trips, wedding weekends, SCAD visits, couples traveling together, multi-generational stays, and guests who prefer the comfort and value of a full home over several hotel rooms.
An easy walk to Forsyth Park, Kroger, local restaurants, River Street and the Victorian District are nearby.
A park and playground are opposite.
High ceilings, great light, good room sizes, modern bathrooms and well equipped and stocked modern kitchen (granite and stainless) for cooking real meals and eating at home.
LOTS OF FREE PARKING (that is rare and a real saving in Savannah. Most of Savannah is metered and places with valet are $30 per night per car. )
Central heat and cooling and varispeed ceiling fans in all bedrooms and living and dining room. Living spaces and bedrooms have attractive but non-working fireplaces.
Original refinished wood floors in living dining and halls, new wood floors in bedrooms (no carpet anywhere).
Dining room seats 8 comfortably.
Kitchen has a bistro table and 2 chairs for a quick bite and is properly stocked with pans and utensils so 8 people can cook and eat real meals. Plates, glasses etc for 15+. Kitchen has coffee maker, espresso machine, kettle, toaster, blender, microwave and electric range.
Full sized washer and dryer in utility room.
We have our own quiet private backyard (brick paved). Outdoor seating and tables, lots of shade and gas BBQ for some outdoor relaxing. We even have a blender in the kitchen for making sundowners..
We are child friendly and have a kids toilet seat and step available but are not baby proof.
We also have a few steps up to front and back door and shower/ bathrooms upstairs (a half bath downstairs) so if you need wheel-in access we are not the rental for you.
We are not a rental for the party crew. Principal renter needs to be 25+.
Out of consideration for other guests no smoking/vaping and no pets (and no exceptions).
You will find our home clean and great condition and we ask our guests to take out their trash, load the dishwasher and not leave a sink full of pans when they leave. Excessive mess will result in an increased cleaning charge/claim on deposit.
Look at the map in our photos section. Our house is the red heart about half way down on the right hand side.

The host was very responsive when we needed information. The location was convenient and the outdoor patio area was so nice to have. The beds were very comfortable.
Great location and house! We had one hiccup upon arrival, bu the owner & host responded instantly and handled the hiccup. Lovely house with all the basics in the house & then some! I would most definitely stay here again!
Our stay was great! We had plenty of space and things were clean. The backyard space was lovely to unwind and enjoy a glass of wine. No problem with parking and great location being so close to downtown while also being quiet at night. Beds were super comfy and there was plenty of space in all the bedrooms.
This house ticked all the boxes for us. There was enough seating in living and dining. The rooms were pretty spacious and the beds comfortable. It wasn’t just bare-bones— the shelves have books, the kitchen had the baking sheet to re-heat pizza and some spices (not ketchup though that was our one disappointment). Huge assortment of brochures for things to do as well. And it is in a great location. The stairs are very steep though so if you have little ones or elderly in your party that might be a concern.

We would love to host you again whenever you are in Savannah.
House worked out great for our family of five. Great beds in all three bedrooms. Nice kitchen. Three bathrooms. Everything was in working order. We really enjoyed the patio and grill on the back patio. Location was great for walking to explore Savanna and has an easy driving route to Tybee Island and Wormsloe State Park. We had no issues with parking. It was a great experience for our first trip to Savanna!

We loved hosting you all. Thanks for being great guests
The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the little things that were added such as makeup removers and coffee maker with filters. Parking easy. Would stay here again
House was great!! Fit 6 adults and 2 young children and infant perfectly. We let kids be with parents upstairs, us old people used sofa bed, it was very comfortable. Location was awesome, great walking to everything!! Beautiful city. 30 minute drive to airport!! Highly recommend! 1 minor thing, was may need a new shower head in master with stronger water flow.

We loved hosting you Ellen and welcome you back any time
This house was wonderful! I stayed here with my husband, adult daughter, teenager son, and my father for an extended work trip. It is close enough to the downtown area but away from the crowd. Plenty of free parking. It had all of the comforts of home and plenty of space for our group. I would 100% recommend this house to others! My entire family loved it!

We loved hosting Candace and we we host them again any time.
Our stay was wonderful! The home was even more spacious and beautiful than the pictures. Being right on Broad Street allowed us to get anywhere in Savannah in just minutes and the free parking in this neighborhood was a plus. We look forward to returning soon for another visit.
8 of us were able to eat outside on the patio and inside at the dining room table! It's also uncommon to go to a property rental that has really nice furniture. I would totally book this place again.
The house was the perfect base for our explorations in Savannah. It was beautifully accessorized and well equipped for all our needs. The beds were all so comfortable -- a rarity in most places! Thank you for a wonderful VRBO experience!

About the host
Hosted by Darryl Franklin
We are a family of ex-pat Europeans based in Los Angeles. We came to Savannah when one of the kids was playing in the Music Festival and immediately fell in love with the place. Friendly people, great restaurants, tons of cool places to walk and explore. We love spending time here whether with the kids or as a couple. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Savannah is a top tourist destination for very good reason. We are located in a quiet corner of the Historic District in the Beach Institute area. Leafy streets, attractive homes, and lots of little streets to wander and explore. We bought our home because while it has the character of an old home in terms of light, high ceilings, lovely wood floors and decent room sizes it has been fully updated to provide spacious modern comforts and convenience. Who doesn't love a modern bathrooms and kitchen? We even have a well appointed shaded outside space so you can unwind after a hard day of exploring and make good use of the blender in the kitchen.
We have great neighbors who live here all year round and everyone looks out for everyone.
We also have lots of free on street parking ($30 a car a day to park in the heart of the Historic District gets old fast), a lovely park opposite (with a kids playground set back about 75 yards from the house). We are a short walk (20 mins to River St) or a $5 Uber ride to all the action.
What makes this property unique
Our local property manager and cleaner team, Natasha and Bessie are amazing. You will appreciate their attention to detail and pride in our home. Natasha is on call for anything you need.
