We had our family Thanksgiving in Savannah, GA. (9 of us) We loved the rental. Beautiful old house. Plenty of room for all. The park across the street was a great place for family walks and throwing the football around. We would rent here again.

Our family stayed in this beautiful property for our nephew's wedding. We had plenty of space for everyone. Forsyth Park across the street was so nice to stroll and take our grandchildren to play. We walked everywhere. Never had to use our vehicle.

Beautiful Wedding Week!

This home provided a stunning backdrop for my daughter’s Savannah wedding prep. The vibe of the house, location right on Forsyth Park, walking distance to the river and downtown area were absolutely perfect. Our family enjoyed everything about it! By far one of the best I’ve stayed in.

Serious Health and Safety Concerns During Our Stay

This home is charming and well-located, but our experience was overshadowed by serious health, safety, and cleanliness concerns. The dryer vent was filled with standing water that had turned black with mold and mildew, making it unusable. Two bedrooms had sheets that smelled like mildew. We later realized this was tied to the same mold issue. Two towel bars fell off during our stay. One fell near a child. A nail protruding from the kitchen floor cut a guest’s foot.Cleanliness fell far below expectations. We found hair on linens, towels, bathroom surfaces, and floors. A throw pillow in the living room smelled strongly of vomit. Bugs, some alive and some dead, were present throughout the home. Several of the dead bugs were dried and brittle, indicating they had been there long enough to have been cleaned by housekeeping. Behind a small dresser in the bunk room, we found a disturbing assortment of unsanitary items left behind from previous guests: a condom, makeup, a bottle of Dramamine, and hundreds of rubber hair ties.The kitchen was also severely understocked. Basic tools and supplies were missing or limited, making it difficult to prepare meals for a group.We reported these issues and received a one-night refund. While appreciated, it didn’t reflect the scale of the disruption. We tried to resolve things respectfully and privately, but this stay fell far short of expectations and put our group’s health at risk.
Unsanitary items found behind the dresser in the bunk room. Includes a condom, makeup, bottle of Dramamine, rubber hair ties, and other debris—clear signs the area had not been cleaned between guests.
Vent tube behind the dryer filled with standing water that had turned black with mold and mildew. Created a strong odor and made the dryer unusable. We stopped using it for health and safety reasons.

Clump of hair sitting against the base of the wall in the center of one of the bathrooms. Indicates poor cleaning and lack of attention to hygiene between guest stays.
