Gorgeous townhome. Great view of the river. Great location -- close to downtown and easy access to Truman Pkwy. Bakery next door was super convenient (we highly recommend the focaccia)!

This condo is absolutely impeccable. Owners thought of everything and couldn’t have been better. Location is ideal as it’s a little bit away from the busiest part of town (so not noisy) but still close enough for an easy walk.

Wonderful location

This rental was immaculate. Everything was very clean and the location was central to everything downtown. The hotel next door had two wonderful restaurants and a fantastic bakery. Highly recommend. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Savannah.

Excellent service and a gorgeous new townhome!

The host was so kind, communicative and accommodating for our family upon check-in. This townhome is lovely and new, with designer touches that were so comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful spot for a Savannah getaway

This property is beautiful, in an excellent location and the views of the river provided endless interest in how those huge container ships can navigate that waterway. The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed and the detailed communication with Kristi left nothing wanting. Just FYI The rooftop lounge at the Marriott next door has a magnificent nighttime view of the city lights.

Girls trip

Beautiful home. Quiet (except for some construction). Excellent location. The house is supplied well and the deck is nice with the fire pit. The main living area needs more comfy seating but it’s probably in the plan.

Perfection!

This property could not have more immaculate. The owner's attention to details was ridiculous. I've never stayed in a vrbo with such high end everything from the towels and sheets to the toilet paper and soap. The owner's were great and gave me ideas of things to do that made the trip, Will definitely return!

Gem in Savannah

This was our first time visiting Savannah, and wanted to find a place that was close to everything so we could walk to everything. This vacation rental was perfectly located to walking trails by the water, shopping, bars, and restaurants. The host was very responsive, the house was perfectly decorated, and very clean. In addition, there were tons of household items that made it very convent. Thank you for a wonderful stay and making our experience in Savannah and perfect experience!

Luxury Stay Just Steps from the River Walk

This property was an absolute dream—stylish, spotless, and packed with luxury touches that made our stay unforgettable. The location couldn't have been better: just a short, scenic walk to the iconic River Street, where we enjoyed amazing restaurants, charming shops, and peaceful morning strolls by the water.Inside, the home was modern and beautifully designed, with high-end finishes in every room. One of our favorite features- The incredible Terra Kaffe espresso machine! It felt like having a café in the kitchen—fresh, barista-quality coffee at the touch of a button was the perfect way to start each day. We truly miss this machine now that we have returned home. Every amenity was thoughtfully chosen—from the ultra-comfortable beds with hotel-quality linens, to the fully stocked kitchen. The house was not missing one item, down to beach bags, coolers, or umbrellas. The outdoor space was just as impressive, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring.The host was responsive, welcoming, and provided great local tips. We’ve stayed in several VRBOs, but this one truly stands out for its combination of luxury, comfort, and unbeatable location.

Gorgeous home in a great location!

This home is gorgeous, clean, all the amenities you could possibly need- not to mention LOCATION! We enjoyed a beautiful sunset river walk on the first evening, the kids loved seeing the riverboat pass by off the dining room window. Plenty of space for our crew of 3 adults and 4 kids. Nicely stocked kitchen, toiletry, towels, sheets. The decor is straight out of a magazine! There is a cute little bakery close by within walking distance that we stopped in both mornings we were there and highly recommend as well as the fantastic rooftop bar at the Thompson Hotel next door- the mixologists were fantastic and the views are incredible. Kristi is a fabulous host! Her communication is prompt, she gave excellent recommendations for things to do/see and even accommodated a last minute request. As of our stay in April 2023, there is some construction going on in front but never found there to be a noise factor- even with a baby. Plenty of parking available directly in front, in addition to the garage. Definitely recommend a stay here for your next Savannah trip!

This townhome is Incredible!!!

This townhome is absolutely incredible. The entire 3-level property is in immaculate condition. Everything looks brand new. The home is decorated extremely well. The owner thought of everything. The bedrooms are spacious. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which makes it so easy for all the guests to get ready for a nice outing in Savannah. The master bathroom is large and it has a walk-in closed with plenty of room to keep everything you need for your stay. The garage is nice to keep your vehicle inside just in case its raining out. There are more than enough towels so you will NEVER need to bother the owner for extra. They have more than you will ever need. There is a washer and dryer on the upper floor with the soap pods and cling free sheets neatly separated so there is no confusion. The entire townhome is extremely clean. Hardwood floors throughout the property are very nice. My only small negative is there is only one TV in the main living room. It would be nice to have other televisions in the bedrooms. But maybe having the one TV in the living room promotes the family staying together to enjoy a movie or what have you. We certainly gathered together to watch a Netflix movie a few times. Overall, you can't find a better more spacious place to stay in close proximity to River Street. There are so many restaurants and places to go on River Street that are a 10-15 minute walk from this property. We would definitely stay at this property again!!!

Prime property in a great location

This is an impressive and spacious property with upscale furnishings that include comfortable beds, a big screen tv, a spacious deck with a grill and nice outdoor furniture. The kitchen is also well equipped. Everything was it perfect working order during our visit. The property is located in a peaceful area, close enough to walk or take the free trolly to many of the main attractions and restaurants in the historic district. It is also a short drive to the beaches on Tybee Island, which is well worth a trip.

Fantastic Property/ Great Location

This unit is fabulous. Everything was as described. It is certainly walking distance to historic Savannah although we generally drove 1/2 mile -1 mile and found parking over there. The attached garage is a bonus for unloading and loading. This home is a great size, spread up and down allowing for privacy. It has spacious rooms, a lovely kitchen and great deck. There were little details that made it feel luxurious too (bath items, coffee...)
