Thanksgiving.

We had a wonderful time exploring Savannah and visiting with family during the Thanksgiving holidays. Our VRBO was conveniently located to restaurants and in walking distance to sites in the historic district. We would 100% stay again.

Great Stay in Savannah

The location was terrific and the property was a lot bigger then we expected. The spacious unit had great amenities and offered tourist information to help us during our stay. We did not hear back from the Owner with one small issue we had during our stay. Otherwise the property was amazing and we would definitely stay hear again!

Great Location/Beautifully Decorated

We enjoyed our visit to the Savannah area. It would have been fun to have had a little more time to explore. Your location is ideal for walking to the river walk etc. The toilet paper not being available was a bit of issue, but the cleaning gals came to our rescue. They were so pleasant and helpful with some coffee as well. We would like to stay again in the future. We will highly recommend your lovely home!

Great condo! Great location!

The condo was spacious and well decorated in a perfect location. We did have an issue receiving check in instructions from the owner and had to call VRBO to help us get in touch with him the day of check-in which was a little stressful, which is why I didn’t give this unit 5 stars. If we hadn’t booked inside the cancellation window I probably would have cancelled after not receiving any communication from him within a few days of the booking. Other than that the condo was well appointed. The beds are a little bouncy but we slept pretty well. The only thing missing is an ironing board. You couldn’t ask for a better location to explore the town. Close to the river and Broughton street but nice and quiet in the evenings. The small balcony made for a great place to relax after exploring all day and before heading out to dinner at night.

Disliked: Amenities, communication
The location of this property is awesome! Everything is within walking distance. The communication was less than desirable though. Full disclosure…we had booked this rental 22 hours prior. But after the initial text/email confirmation we never received any further information including building access/parking availability/etc. We had 2 unanswered messages from the host multiple hours prior to check-in. It was quite frustrating trying to get ahold of someone while trying to explore the city… and this was after our check-in time had come and gone. I had held out hope up until that point hoping they were going to notify us at our appointed check-in time to no avail. The house itself was ok…not the most comfortable. The couch/Murphy bed was hard as a rock. The air mattress didn’t hold air.

My family rented this from Friday-Sunday, February 24-26th. As a renter I have never left a review of a property, however, I feel that future renters should know prior to booking. I would ONLY give this rental a 1 star review, and ONLY for its location! The apartment is not the cleanest, showers (mold)/bathrooms, baseboards/bathroom doors/doors-have built up dust/dirt). This rental needs a good deep cleaning! Sleeping arrangements-it does NOT sleep 6 adults. The air mattress provided had a hole in it, the others were thrown on the floor, dirty, next to an empty bin. Futon/sofa bed, sleeps 1...was the 6th individual supposed to be the third party to the King size bed?! That is what my family ended up doing! Bathroom with King size bed, the door opens into the toilet, leaving renter a VERY small opening (approx.16-18 inches) to access shower. You will need to be a thin individual to utilize the shower in that room. The only TV that we were able to access was in the general area, as the others would not connect to internet. As a renter, I would not rent nor recommend this property. My family paid (I am not allowed to say) for 2 nights and I feel that the things included in this review should be standard and expected from the Tenant, we should NOT have to contact anyone during our short stay and address items listed!

The property was perfectly situated in the city. Close to everything but far enough to be quiet at night. Both rooms were big with comfortable beds. Morning coffee and nightcaps on the balcony were nice too. It was not an issue for us, but know that if stairs are a problem, there are a couple flights to navigate to get to the entrance to the property. Plenty of towels, kitchen supplies, pillows and blankets. Would recommend.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at the Historic Dickerson House in Savannah. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how beautifully decorated and comfortable the home was. The two bedrooms were spacious, and the entire house had everything we needed for our two-night stay. My husband and I, along with another couple, found the space to be just what we needed. The location was absolutely ideal—not only was it beautiful, and close to all the action but it was also incredibly convenient with a parking deck nearby. The hosts were amazing; they were very responsive and their suggestions for things to do around the city were spot-on. We truly loved our stay and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a memorable Savannah trip. I would definitely rent this property again the next time I am in Savannah.

Nice neighborhood and Location

We picked this because of the location and it fit our needs perfectly. We wanted to be close by to the waterfront and shopping and in walking distance to restaurants. The unit is spacious with high ceilings and is located on a nice square full of history. We had good luck with parking also.

Great location and lots of space

This property was perfect for two couples - two large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms plus a really spacious common area. Communication with the host was also fantastic, and the location is great - close to Broughton Street and a lot of landmarks but far enough away from the main drag to be nice and quiet. The balcony overlooking the square is a really neat touch. Our only recommendations are a bit more of a thorough cleaning in the bathrooms and an upgrade to the provided shampoo/conditioner/body wash included in the listing. Our unit had a watered-down shampoo and two conditioners but no body wash. It’s a small detail but one we definitely would have noticed!

Very nice location

Very nice location towards the center of Savannah. It makes for a very good walkable vacation. Just be aware, this location is on the 3rd floor via stairs. Also, master bathroom's shower can be a tight fit to enter if you are a little overweight. Both of these were fine for our group, but won't meet everyone's needs. We would stay here again.

Great Property and Location

This was a great and quiet location to stay and had a very historical feel to it. Sitting in the living room listening to the horse carriages in the street gave the impression I had traveled back in time! The only thing I was worried about was the parking, but there were plenty of street parking close by and it was cheaper than parking at a hotel. Would stay here again.

Location, Location, Location - and beautiful Oglethorpe Square

The property is effectively two floors above the street, counting the outside stairs to the front door. The master en suite has a cute balcony. And longer term parking is very doable at the State Street parking garage just across the square. This worked great for us - an easy stroll to the river and several other attractions. The inside is lovely and comfortable. The provided toiletries were not what they should have been (huge industrial-size dispenser jugs of all-purpose body wash, only) but so many other attributes made this seem less significant as we had our own travel-size soap and shampoos. Definitely recommend this place!

This place was perfect. Within walking distance to everything. You will not regret booking this place for your next stay. My only criticism would be the shower head in the second bathroom. It is horrible. And the bleach smell after they cleaned was very strong. Glad we had an air purifier with us. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to anyone.
