Inside the Retreat
When you drive up to the Corner Store Retreat, you'll find a freshly painted clapboard two-story with a classic corner stoop. Once inside, you'll be surrounded by a calming sense of space as you survey the sunlit open floorplan.
The living room features a comfy sofa, a coffee table and large area rug that adds an element of warmth to the airy space. The French doors have a vintage transom that floods the common areas with healing light. A mid-20th century cabinet acts as an entertainment center, and a smart TV sits atop, offering quick access to news, the weather report and your favorite shows. And additional sleeping space is available in the form of a queen air mattress.
A cozy corner nook has seating for meals while the adjacent kitchen provides all the tools you'll need to prepare them. A breakfast bar with a set of stools offers additional places to perch. The kitchen itself is fully outfitted with a stainless-steel refrigerator, dishwasher, range-oven and microwave. Within the drawers and cupboards, you'll find cookware, utensils, glasses and tableware. If one among your party loves to cook, they'll find everything they need to create amazing vacation meals. All you have to add is fresh fare from the local markets.
Just off the kitchen, a stacked laundry set tucked into a handy closet offers you the option of sprucing up your wardrobe during your stay. We provide an ample supply of towels and linens at all our vacation rentals Savannah GA, so you need not worry about running out before the end of your vacation.
Just steps away, the master bedroom provides you with a roomy queen-sized bed, double closets for all your gear and bedside tables. Cute, built-in shelving adds a craftsman touch reminiscent of bygone days. Large double windows overlook a private courtyard with seating, and a ceiling fan offers you options in temperature control.
In the updated bathroom, an antique-like cabinet supplies a wealth of counterspace for your Dopp kit and/or makeup bag. There's a tub/shower combination too.
Access the brick-paved courtyard through the master suite. This fenced-in outdoor space is an ideal place to enjoy the temperate Savannah evenings, a morning cup of java or an intimate tete a tete. Just like all of our Savannah vacation homes, the Corner Store Retreat supplies Wi-Fi, air conditioning and heating, outdoor lighting, basic toiletries and more. Don't forget to take advantage of your pool access, too. The facility is just a scenic drive from the city on nearby Tybee Island.
Activities Near The Corner Store Retreat
Savannah's Historic District encompasses 22 squares, which reflect the city's original grid-like layout. Crawford Square, located just outside your door at The Corner Store Retreat, is unique among these squares in a couple of ways. First, it is the only square that is still fenced, a feature that all 22 originally shared. Also, Crawford is a multi-use little park, offering not only a basketball court with benches but also a shady gazebo.
During the Jim Crow era, Crawford was the only square open to the African Americans of Savannah. It's a great spot to absorb Savannah's history, cool off in the gazebo or organize a game of HORSE on the court. It is also near the Beach Institute African American Cultural Center where the museum and gallery offer more historical perspective.
If the ornate spires you can see from the Corner Store Retreat pique your interest, take a stroll through nearby neighborhoods to the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist, a Roman Catholic edifice that draws local parishioners and visitors at Savannah vacation rentals alike.
Bordering Lafayette Square, the cathedral dates to 1859. When a fire severely damaged the structure in 1898, the congregation had to repair and rebuild much of the church. With 81 stained glass tableaux and 16 gargoyles, the cathedral offers many windows into Savannah's storied past. You can take a self-guided tour or a docent-led tour of the cathedral to learn more.
Other nearby sites to visit while you are out exploring Savannah include:
