The Space
One of our most charming vacation homes in Savannah is the Waldburg Cottage property. This historic Victorian cottage is located in Savannah's Historic District off of Waldburg and Jefferson. Just three blocks from beautiful Forsyth Park, it is walkable to both the historic downtown and the Starland District.

The cottage dates back to 1900 and has all the old world charm that comes with its age, along with thoughtful updates. The outdoor space is a standout feature. When you enter through the white picket fence, you'll find a traditional front porch with rocking chairs. The backyard has a beautiful porch for relaxing, a lush garden, and a grill for warm weather barbeques. There are also two dedicated parking spaces in the rear.

Inside, the cottage accommodates up to four people with two bedrooms and one newly-renovated bathroom. Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, a new queen mattress in the master bedroom, and a twin bunk bed in the second bedroom. The living room has plenty of comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV. Each room has high ceilings with fans in both bedrooms and original hardwood pine floors throughout the cottage. It's a lovely space for a solo traveler, a couple, or a family with kids.

The cottage is just three blocks from famous Forsyth Park, which spans 26 acres and is always lively – From the famous cast-iron fountain, the Saturday Farmers Market, to festivals, to walking the picturesque tree-lined sidewalks, having a picnic, and enjoying brunch at Collins Quarter, we feel the cottage is situated in the ideal area for exploration and adventure.

We are a 15 to 20 minute walk from the historic downtown area boasting City Market, Broughton Street, River Street, and all 22 of Savannah's charming historic squares. Chatham Square is the closest, and is a 5 minute walk from the cottage.
South of the cottage is the trendy Starland District, with artist shops and restaurants, a 10-15 minute walk.

For groceries, Kroger is 0.5 miles away. There is also an independent natural food store called 'Brighter Day' at the south end of Forsyth Park, along with a coffee shop, wine shop, and a beautiful rooftop bar called 'Perch'. The cottage is 25 minutes to the Savannah Airport If you have a car, you can spend a day exploring Tybee Island, a 20 minute car-ride away. You can enjoy the Southern Belle heated pool, eat at the locally famous Tybee Island Crab Shack, take a marsh trek, or book a charter boat to explore the waters around the island. .

Getting Around
