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 25 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 to be a 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

This historic house is on Henry Street in between Abercorn and Lincoln Streets just two and a half blocks south of Savannah’s enchanting Forsyth Park. The parade route on St. Patrick's Day literally starts here! Wake up to the bagpipes and watch the floats prepare in the staging area!

What makes this property unique

The size of this house will allow larger parties to comfortably vacation together and the location allows you to walk to the grocery store (Kroger or Brighter Day) as well as restaurants and tourist attractions. The designated free parking is highly sought after as well.

“The Clara” has accommodated thousands of vacationers over the years including many families, family reunions, Christmas vacations, Spring Break, girl’s getaway weekends, bachelorette parties, wedding parties, corporate housing, marathon groups, snowbirds, community service, virtual work, virtual learning, and groups for choral, dance, and gymnastic competitions. Whether in town for SCAD family weekend, Sidewalk Arts, graduation, Savannah Music Festival, Savannah Book Festival, or the Rock n Roll Marathon, we want you to have a wonderful stay where the only problem is that you won’t want to leave!
