We had a wonderful stay at the Clara! The vintage furnishings were charming! The kitchen was well stocked and we were even greeted with fresh flowers, chocolate, and birthday wishes! Our host was very pleasant and responsive! The location was “walkable” to several historic spots and good coffee shops and restaurants!

What a DELIGHT!! The pictures just DON'T do it justice! We wanted to bring our teenagers to Savanah and stay somewhere that had some history and charm. The Clara KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!! Such thoughtful touches. Carmen, the host, made it so easy to find the place, and get settled in by sending helpful photos and texts. The parking was awesome. She was a great source of knowledge and ideas for things to do, as well. The beds were comfy, the sheets and towels were clean and soft. Plenty of amenities for cooking and games for playing. Southern Hospitality is alive and well in this VRBO. HIGHEST RATING.

Hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We loved the home, from its historical details to the many well placed decorations in every space of the house. It felt very warm and welcoming, even though I was convinced it would be haunted, as much of Savannah is. House was not too far from attractions. We felt safe walking nearby during the day. River Street was walkable if you were up to it, but trolley and Uber were used often. Thanks for a great place to crash!

We loved how much it felt like Savannah in this one! We had so much room for everything and it was so close to all of our plans that we barely even had to use it except for sleep! The host was great at communication as well if we needed anything.
