SVR-00084 | City of Savannah Short-Term Vacation Rental Certificate

Stay in your very own historic retreat! The phenomenal ambience of this circa1852 Savannah carriage house will be be remembered long after your vacation (or weekend getaway) has ended.

This is an ideal location in the center of the Historic District! A block north of Forsyth Park and just one block off of Bull Street which is the center of downtown! Walk to everything from here. Less than a mile to River Street.

Two stories with a King bed upstairs and a Full-size pullout sofa bed in the living room downstairs. A cute and petite, fully equipped kitchen with brick walls is on the first floor by the living room. A bathroom with pedestal sink, granite tiled floors, and shower is located upstairs by the bedroom adjacent to a separate dressing room. Best of all, a private upper porch/balcony accessed from the bedroom and overlooking the courtyard is yours to enjoy.

This charming two-story Carriage House is located within a gated courtyard in the rear of one of Savannah’s noted “Gordon Row” townhomes circa early 1850’s. With access from a gated entrance, this stylish two-story 1BR/1BA apartment has an almost ‘loft-like’ feel. The living room has an open floor plan as does the bedroom on the upper level.

A laundry room with coin-operated washer and dryer is available on site shared between the 5 total rental units in the building. The Carriage House overlooks the bricked and landscaped courtyard shared between the year-round residents and guest at this classic Savannah estate.

Note: If your selected travel dates are not available for the Carriage House, check-out our neighboring vacation rental listings for the 1BR/1BA Garden Apartment located on the ground level of the main house (see VRBO listing ID #675593) or the larger 1BR/1BA Parlor Apartment located on the 2nd level/parlor level of the main home (see VRBO listing ID #815634). We also own several larger homes in the Historic District that are offered as vacation rentals, so please inquire if you need a larger space.

Super cute and great location!
Small and cozy, perfect for 2 people. My husband and I really enjoyed staying here and became comfortable very easily. Nice welcoming touches, plenty of soap, tissue, towels, coffee, etc that many other rentals don’t offer. We really loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings drinking our coffee. My son lives in the area and wanted to stay with us so he was relegated to the pull-out couch and it was horrible (as most are). Luckily we had brought an air mattress because, let’s be honest, most pull-outs are not comfortable. Street parking was easy, just pay attention to the street sweeping signs as it’s different nights on each side of the road. Easy communication with the owners. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Savannah Carriage House
A delightful cozy comfortable stay with all the amenities ...a short 20 minute stroll to beautiful famous squares or dining and shopping. We had bikes and used quiet streets to get to River district and City Market. Beautiful area! The private porch overlooking the courtyard with its distinct photo ops was a favorite morning and evening retreat. Carmen very responsive before and after arrival to answer our questions. Interesting history behind these gates. Loved this stay!

Wonderful Spot
This was such a peaceful, quiet spot to stay at. Wonderfully clean, cozy, and had everything one could possibly need. Close to so much downtown as well. The check-in process was smooth and the hosts were quick to answer any questions and reach out to us. Thank you!

Historic Savannah location
Super comfortable king bed...small private balcony...fast internet.... historic and quiet location. And the accessible and friendly owners made our Savannah stay pleasant. Keep in mind this is an old building, which is part of the charm. Bathroom and kitchen are tiny but how much time will you spend in them...enjoy Savannah's great restaurant scene and walking around the gorgeous local squares.

About the host

Hosted by Jon and Carmen

Host profile image
Savannah is our passion. We have a love of her history, her architecture, her people, culture, and lifestyle. We have lived in Downtown Savannah for over 20 years transforming ourselves from renters, to homeowners, to full-time property managers to the more than a dozen historic properties we have been so fortunate to preserve. We have rented a number of our properties over the years to countless corporate and vacationing travelers. We are excited in 2015 to now be part of the Homeaway/VRBO family to be able to serve you, our guest, every step of the way from initial rental inquiry about our home to completion of your Savannah stay. We look forward to sharing our passion for Savannah and historic homes with you.

Why they chose this property

Aside from the unique charm of this carriage house, it has what vacationers are looking for in its location meaning they can just walk out the door and be in the middle of the 'tourist attractions' of downtown Savannah. Lucky for us the tourist attractions are mainly beautiful outdoor areas like Forsyth Park (one block south of this house) and the gorgeous Squares throughout downtown in addition to the standout architecture and history found at almost every building you walk past.

What makes this property unique

For a one bedroom property this accommodation feels like (and truly is) a 'real house'. A great romantic getaway.
