As one of our most-asked-for Savannah vacation rentals, its overwhelming charm, its location and its many amenities add up to more than the sum of its parts, making for a Savannah vacation homes getaway like no other.
A Tour of Riverview Penthouse
When you first drive into the quaint brick courtyard of Riverview Penthouse, the stately building with distinctive art deco touches won't fail to impress. With two dedicated parking spots, you'll have plenty of room for unloading your luggage. Once you go up a flight of stairs, there is an elevator inside for convenient loft access.
Gracious French doors open at the top to gleaming hardwood floors, exquisite brickwork and large, light-filled windows. The generously sized living area features a pair of plush sofas, a wall-mounted television, and tasteful art. In an alcove adjacent to the living room, a rich wood cupboard conceals a Murphy bed for two. The grilled windows and glass balcony door frame priceless views of the Savannah River and the brick-paved River Walk below.
Just outside, your own private balcony provides a bird's-eye view of the bustling harbor, the wide, languid river and the kaleidoscope of passersby. You'll love stepping out into the open air each morning to relax over coffee or enjoy refreshing cocktails as the evening begins.
At mealtimes, enjoy the spacious breakfast bar with stools for six, which delineates the gourmet kitchen. A French door refrigerator, gas range-oven, dishwasher and microwave provide the means to create sumptuous meals, and the cupboards hold dishes, glasses, silverware and cookware for your use throughout your Savannah vacation homes stay.
Take the graceful spiral staircase to the next level, which hosts its own sitting room. A wall of windows provides more spectacular views. A rooftop sundeck offers luxurious cushioned seating plus a bistro table for intimate conversations over tall ice teas.
Inside, the majestic master suite features a fabulous king-sized bed piled high with pillows. Large, shuttered windows let in morning light while beyond a half wall, the sitting room awaits with a cushy loveseat and a desk space for your laptop. The master bath boasts a spacious glassed-in shower, ample counterspace and all the towels you will need during your Savannah vacation rentals stay.
The second bedroom has a queen-sized bed, night stands with reading lamps plus a chest of drawers. Two additional bathrooms feature showers and lovely décor. Behind the curtains, you'll find a washer and dryer for your use.
Don't forget your unlimited access to Southern Belle's guests-only heated pool. Other amenities you'll enjoy at Riverview Penthouse include ceiling fans throughout, central heating and air conditioning, and those little essentials, such as an ironing board, that cater to your every need.
A Tour of the Savannah Riverfront
Riverview Penthouse is ideally located for exploring the city's history, arts and eclectic cuisine. With several monuments and greenspaces to visit, you'll be well supplied with photo ops as you stroll along the River Walk. The area also offers more than 75 galleries, shops, studios, restaurants and friendly pubs, so you can divide your days between shopping, dining and sunning poolside with other guests of Southern Belle's vacation rentals Savannah GA.
As you navigate the cobblestoned walks, take a look at the individual stones beneath your feet. They hail from far-flung ports of call where cargo ships took them aboard for ballast. Upon arriving in the Port of Savannah, these ships left the stones behind. Thrifty settlers used this granite, quartz and basalt in building the streets and walkways that serve the city's historic district still.
Be sure to visit one or more of the monuments along the river. From the Waving Girl Statue and the Olympic Caldron at the eastern section of River Street to the African-American Monument and the World War II monument further west, these artful statues are well worth the short walk.
If shopping is on your agenda, you're sure to find what you're looking for and more in the many unique shops along the river. Located in stately brick cotton warehouses from yesteryear, they offer treasure troves of souvenirs, clothing, home décor and sweet treats. You'll even find an outdoor market with a little bit of everything.
Some of Savannah's most popular restaurants are nearby your Riverview Penthouse accommodation too. These include the Olympia Café, The Shrimp Factory and Vic's on the River. They all serve local fare, including fresh seafood. Stop for a nightcap and a view of the city lights at the Topdeck or Rocks on the Roof.
Rousakis Plaza, a riverfront venue, features frequent festivals and events, including:
Film Festival in March
Spring Fling in April
Celebrate Women in May
Juneteenth on the River
Cool-down Summer Music Fest in August
Gullah Geechee Weekend in October
If your visit coincides with a fun event, be sure to join in to get a true taste of what makes Savannah wonderful. Reserve the Riverview Penthouse today, and you'll be at the center of the River Street action.
