Excellent location, we were able to walk to everything. The cottage was very clean and the back private patio was perfect for our 2 dogs. It does have steps to the upstairs bedroom that had nice lighting after dark. Very cute place.

When you step inside this beautiful cottage, it is impossible to not LOVE while being transported back in time! The quaint and authentic feel are excellent! It was immaculately cared for, clean, and is walkable in the north historic district to River Street and E Broughton Street shops and restaurants. Next time we are in Savannah, this is at the top of our list!

Lovely cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved it! Very cute quiet cottage. Lovely area. If you don’t want to walk downstairs at night to the bathroom might not be for you. Or if you want to cook and entertain the kitchen is small. Very cute little garden area fully enclosed. I would definitely recommend and come back for sure!
