Interaction With Guests
We are always available by text, email, phone, or face-to-face interactions. We love for our guests to be comfortable and feel completely "at home;" therefore we interact with our guests as much or as little as they’d like. There is self-check-in, so you don't have to coordinate meeting us to get the keys. We live in the main house and can help with anything you might need, including sightseeing and restaurant recommendations!

The Neighborhood
We are in a wonderful area of mainly historical residential houses mixed with a few businesses. Located one block from the twenty-plus acre Forsyth Park with playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, and many year round festivals including the start of Savannah’s renowned St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The main house was built in the 1890s. Our quaint street is safe with light foot traffic and friendly neighbors. We have several tasty restaurants within a few blocks and a large grocery store right around the corner. A number of coffee shops, bakeries and a health food stores are all within 1-5 blocks too.

Getting Around
Carriage house is one block away from Forsyth Park and walking distance to all historic Savannah attractions. A trolley stop is two blocks away. River Street and City Market are an easy and beautiful 15 minute walk. Take a different street each time you go and explore the unique character and history of the city.

We are a 25 minute cab ride from Savannah/Hilton Head International airport. Savannah is a wonderfully walkable city; so if you’re arriving by air, a car isn’t necessary.

Very nice property
The place was great and very clean. We’ve had vacation property on VRBO in St Petersburg FL. Just a couple of suggestions. Supply your guests with paper towels. A little better TP. It might be time for a new couch. Overall it was a very pleasant stay.

Decent small place
Overall property was fine for what it was…. No TVs in bedroom, beds were pretty basic and not overly comfy, towels were really rough, no paper towel starter roll, it was a 1 mile walk to river street which isn’t bad but the distance adds up. Overall not terrible but a little pricey for how far it was from midtown area

Great apartment near Forsyth Park
This 2nd floor apartment (no elevators) is located a short walk from Forsyth Park and a bus stop for the free DOT service, which runs to the downtown area. I'd give this apartment a 5* review for location except the DOT bus stops at 7:30pm. Many of the nearby restaurants stop service after lunch, and we frequently found ourselves a mile away from the apartment in the historic district for the evening. Safe walking environment during the day and evening hours. The garage was plenty big enough for an Audi Q5, but beware that that the garage is immediately adjacent to an alley with another building immediately across the road, so cornering into the garage is tight. The apartment was clean and well furnished.

Disappointed
Upon entry, flies, gnats and unidentified flying bugs flying around in living room, kitchen and bedroom. No dishwasher soap, ran out of soap in bathroom on day 3, burnt out light on the very dirty back porch which also included a bucket full of cigarette butts. The pull-out bed was full of food and crumbs when we pulled it out to use it. During rain, the door to the house leaks so we had standing water at the entry point. The refrigerator leaks. There are not any wash clothes to do the dishes and no dishwasher soap, so not really possible to wash the dishes. While trying to find a decent size pan, I came across some cooked chicken strips in the cabinets just laying in there, I threw out a few of them, but not all. Didn't find a pan bigger than a 6 inch skillet to make food for 5 people. We made it work, but a larger average size pan would be nice. I understand that the air gets turned up when not in use, but as advised we turned it to 78, so why was it 81 in there when we arrived. HOT and took all night to cool down. The roku stick also doesn't work well, it errors out a lot. Not a big deal to us, just making note. We tried to wash and dry some towels, but the dryer doesn't dry anything. We ran it 4 times and towels were still wet. That was trying multiple settings. The kitchen could really use some pepper (plenty of nutmeg :) ) and maybe a spare roll of paper towels as we quickly ran out. The place has potential. It's in a nice neighborhood, grocery store is next door. We were disappointed in how dirty it was inside though. I did not reach out to the owner as I wasn't going to expect her to come clean the place while we were there. We just dealt with it. I had just hoped for a much cleaner, better stocked place for the price. The owner was very nice when I did communicate with her before our trip. It's quite possible there is a cleaning company that does the cleaning and they are just failing. I'd give the owner another try in hopes of a better experience.
