Stunning Downtown c.1890 Estate w/ Wraparound Porch by Lucky Savannah

This spacious 5BR estate was designed in 1890 by Hyman Witcover (architect of Savannah’s beautiful gold-domed City Hall) for prominent Savannah native, Simon P. Kehoe. Simon was the son of William Kehoe, beloved citizen and founder of The Kehoe Iron Works. After undergoing an expansive restoration, ‘The Simon’ offers a one-of-a-kind Savannah experience. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of the city’s most well-preserved examples of the Queen Anne Revival architectural style.

THE LOCATION

Located just off of Lafayette Square, The Simon is in the heart of Savannah’s historic district. You’ll find the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the Hamilton-Turner House and the Andrew Low House mere steps from the front porch. Situated right around the corner is Pinkie Masters, McDonough’s, and Hitch. Walk a few squares to the south and find Forsyth Park with nearby coffee shops and a weekly farmer’s market. Less than a half-mile away, explore the SCAD campus or enjoy a show at the Savannah Theater. Architecture buffs can stop by the Davenport House Museum or Owens-Thomas House, then visit Leopold’s Ice Cream for a sweet treat.

KITCHEN & DINING

You’ll find everything you need to prepare delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and high-end cookware. A convenient cocktail and coffee bar includes all the right tools for morning and evening beverages.

Gather for meals at the in-kitchen dining table, the intimate breakfast nook, at the formal dining room with seating for 10, or outside on the porch.

LIVING ROOM

Lounge in the main living area that accommodates your entire group, while unwinding listening to some tunes on the Sonos speaker. The vivid sun-filled parlor overlooks the sprawling front porch and quiet Harris Street. The architectural focal point from the interior is the original tiger oak mantle with ornate columns and intricately carved faces. Dramatic leaded windows in the entry hall cast waves of rainbow prisms into the living area on sunny afternoons.

BED & BATH

Bedrooms are open and airy with high ceilings and tall windows. There are two full baths on the first floor, and two full baths upstairs.

The first-floor primary bedroom is fitted with a plush king bed, en-suite bath with walk-in shower, and access to the very-private side porch.

A lovely staircase leads to the second floor with four guest bedrooms. The second bedroom has the king bed nestled into the beautiful bay window, which is a prime feature of the Queen Anne Revival style. The large bedroom is fitted with the original fireplace and a private dressing nook with full length mirror.

The third bedroom has a king bed, original fireplace, and a beautiful leaded glass window. The cozy fourth bedroom boasts a colorful fireplace and a queen bed.

The roomy second-floor primary has a king bed, en-suite bath, and a view of the Cathedral spire. An adjacent bonus den has a queen sleeper sofa and desk.

OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES

Stroll the sidewalks under the Spanish moss-draped Live Oaks until you find the right spot to linger. Many guests declare their favorite spot in Savannah is The Simon’s wraparound porch.

Reserved parking is available for three vehicles at the back of the house.

Complimentary Wi-Fi, YouTube TV, Smart flat-screen TVs in each bedroom, and a washer/dryer are provided.

highly recommend, loved it, and my family did too!

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: The house is beautiful! I went with my two adult children and some friends. Everyone loved it, thought it was gorgeous. We all appreciated the amount of fun games that were there to play (we had a lot of rain the week we were there!) the kitchen was well stocked (they made frozen margaritas easily with the blender) and the rooms were beautifully appointed. The a/c ran surprisingly well for such an older home, and I so appreciated all the beautiful details around the home. I would recommend this home 10/10 for anyone with a large family or a large group of friends. Very well located, near everything I wanted to see. I was very very happy with the stay! Would absolutely recommend!

Quick visit to Savannah

This is a lovely old house smack in the middle of the Historic District. 5 minute walk to the waterfront and surrounded by lovely city park blocks. House was in good condition and all bedrooms were pleasant. My only 'beef' is the cleaning fee was very high (and non-negotiable) for a quick stay.

There were plenty of sitting areas inside where we could enjoy cocktails and conversations, but our favorite location was on the amazing front porch! The house is in a great location and we could easily walk to restaurants and explore all that Savannah had to offer.

Beautiful home

We had six people staying at the Simon, which had more than enough room for all of us. The beds were comfortable, The porch in the front was gorgeous and very welcoming. The kitchen had all the appliances and cookware needed for making breakfast and so much barware and dinnerware! You could host a party there! Located in historical district very close to the Basilica and gorgeous park. We could walk to our venue location easily since we were there for a concert. We had an issue getting into the house with our code, but I could immediately get in touch with the rental office and received a new code. Otherwise, no other problems during our stay.

College Friend Get Together

The accommodations were perfect for our group. There were five women and we each had a bedroom and enough bathrooms. We loved gathering on the porch as the weather was perfect. We could walk to any of our destinations. Three of us had vehicles and there was enough parking behind the house. Our only problem was with the front door. Although the code unlocked the bottom lock, the top lock did not release enough to allow entry. We always had to use the back door. It would have been handy to know, when we received the access codes, that parking could be accessed via the alley behind the house.

Charming & Unforgettable Historic Home

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: The charm of this beautifully renovated home set the tone for our trip. The decor is absolutely stunning. The furnishings are stylish and comfortable. There are plenty of linens, pillows & towels. The kitchen and bar has everything needed and more. The location of this property is perfect. The street is quiet and so pretty. Plenty of places nearby for a quick bite. It’s centrally located and is half a mile each direction front anywhere you would want to go. We walked everywhere. The front porch is a gem. We spent hours out there from coffee in the morning to cocktails at night. Truly a wonderful place. I don’t usually stay in the same place twice, but I can’t imagine a better house is Savannah and will likely return.

Beautiful home, great location

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: Nine ladies from Nebraska thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful home located in the Historical District and within walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The house was immaculate, the beds were so comfortable, the front porch was a delightful place to gather. We travel a lot and this may have been our favorite place to stay! The only suggestion I have is when the home is cleaned, they also address the parking area in back; it was covered in trash.

This was a fabulous location and a charming house to stay in. Everyone in our group was very glad we picked the Simon. The house is old, so there are some little foibles like hot water takes a long time, but nothing major that affected our stay. Location too is unbeatable. It's about a 1/2 mile walk or less to anything in Savanah you'd want to see. We parked our car on arrival and never used it until we left. Would love to stay again!

Fabulous Weekend Trip

We were a group of nine ladies. The house was beautiful, clean and well appointed. There are two parking spaces in the back. We were within walking distance to everything we wanted to do. The kitchen was large with lots of counter space, tons of dishes cups, and anything else you could want. Loved the large dining room, and quiet spaces to get away on the porch and upstairs sitting room. Beds were comfortable. No trouble sleeping at night. Everything was perfect and would stay again!

Bachelorette Weekend (3-night stay, Thurs-Sun)

House was stunning, clean, spacious and had plenty of bathrooms. Beds were extremely comfortable. Location was perfect for walking everywhere however, during weekend nights it’s LOUD late into the early morning due to a bar being a few steps from the entrance to the house. This kept some of us up. Getting early checkin was somewhat frustrating since we were paying extra for it - but Lucky Savannah eventually confirmed we had it. We were not happy with the fact that we had to replace toilet paper and trash bags before leaving the house. We’ve never ever had to do this at a Vrbo stay before (and we use Vrbo ALOT) and felt a bit “nickel and dimed” especially since the cost to stay was extremely expensive (even after splitting it with 8 people). A maintenance man also walked into the back door dlthe first day of our stay, and we were a bit taken aback but he was friendly and left letting us know he’d come back after our stay. Overall it was a wonderful stay in a beautiful home where we got to celebrate a bride and all be together and bond over coffee, cocktails and snacks, but the property managers could do better with eliminating small costs and a better request/confirmation process for early checkin.

Location, location, location!

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: This historic home is perfectly located for enjoying Savannah. It is easy to walk to both the riverfront and Forsyth Park, and everything in between. Several great spots for coffee, food and shopping within a block or two, and beautiful squares nearby. The house itself is full of historic charm and well kept. Unfortunately, the internet was not working during our stay, but the property management company was on top of the issue and kept us informed the whole time. The house has dedicated parking, which was a huge bonus. We were in town for a sporting event that I had to shuttle my son back and forth from several times a day, and it was great to not have to worry about parking each time I returned. It was very cold when we were there, so we did not get to enjoy the porch, but I imagine it would be the perfect spot to enjoy some iced tea or a glass of wine after a long day of sightseeing- before heading out to a nearby restaurant! The bathroom layout is a little strange, but worked out fine for our family. Only two of the 5 bedrooms have a bathroom en suite. That said, there are enough bathrooms to go around and it did not detract from our stay. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone!

The Simon is in a perfect location in the heart of the city with three coveted dedicated parking spots. A warm and inviting space with plenty of room to invite family and friends over to relax and share stories. Kitchen had everything we needed to feed a crowd. Appreciated the details like plenty of plastic storage bags, serving dishes, bath soap and TP. Beds all comfortable and the upstairs “suite” perfect for a family with small children. Artwork and decor a love letter to the city that gives this beautiful home so much history. Loved calling The Simon “home” for our stay.

Hidden gem walking distance to just about everything

We stayed at the Simon for three nights and will definitely be back. House was spacious, well appointed, and incredibly quiet. Covered porch allowed us to sit outside and enjoy our coffee while listening to the morning rain. There’s a tavern on the corner but it never got too rowdy and wasn’t an issue while we were there. One block from Lafayette Sq, Cathedral Basilica of St John the Baptist’s and Treylor Hitch (a good brunch spot). Downtown is a 10-15 minute walk depending on where you’re going. If you’re planning on site seeing get the Hop On Hop Off tickets, you will be dropped off steps from the house. This is a great house for families who want to enjoy everything Savannah has to offer.

Perfect Family Getaway in the Heart of Savannah!

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: We had an amazing stay at the Simon in Savannah, Georgia! The location was perfect—within walking distance to Forsyth Park, City Market, and an abundance of shopping and restaurants. The front porch quickly became one of our favorite spots, whether we were enjoying wine in the evening or coffee in the morning. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the spacious rooms made it easy for our family of 10 to spread out and feel at home. We especially loved gathering in the large dining room for family dinners. The TVs offered a great variety of entertainment options as well, making our evenings cozy and relaxing. Highly recommend this home for anyone visiting Savannah!
