Make yourself at home in Savannah's prestigious downtown historic district at this charming cottage, which was built in 1870 as a carriage house to the neighboring manor. You'll enjoy 1,200 square feet of thoughtfully restored living space with lofty ceilings, tall windows, a wide staircase, an open, airy layout, and a 43' Smart TV. This home even features its own gated courtyard and deck, convenient driveway parking, and an unbeatable location within walking distance of Savannah's restaurants, squares, and museums!
What's nearby: This home is located in the southeast quadrant of the historic district, where it sits among gas-lit streets, brick sidewalks, and live oaks draped with Spanish moss in the largest landmark historic district in the nation. Here on a residential street within Georgia's original colonial borders, you'll be across the street from Beasley Park, one block from the famous Savannah squares, five blocks east of Forsyth Park, 10 blocks south of the Savannah River, and a five-to-10-minute walk from cafes, shops, and restaurants. (Depending on weather, physical agility, and time of day, the owner agrees that using your car or grabbing a quick Uber/Lyft can be helpful, depending on the destination you have in mind.) This home is also mere minutes from Whitefield Square, Calhoun Square, and Monterey Square, and a half-mile stroll from Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room and Savannah College of Art and Design.

Wonderful

Location of the cottage is great - walking distance to many popular sites in Savannah as well as trolly and CAT, DOT pickups. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with property manager, which is important, was excellent!
Beautiful and comfortable cottage located in historic downtown Savannah. We enjoyed the easy access to the downtown area with plenty of space to relax and celebrate Christmas. Nicely equipped kitchen. Really appreciated the onsite patking. The only thing we did not consider is that the upstairs bedroom does not have a door so it is noisy if you try to sleep while others are awake. Otherwise pretty perfect!
This is a wonderful house, especially for the price. It's in a good neighborhood and only a mile from River Street. Highly recommend.

Lovely little cottage within 1 miles walking distance of just about everything. On a quiet street so there was NO traffic unless you lived there. Very cozy!
The location was great. Close enough to the historic district but not so close to be in the middle of the chaos. The turn was a little hard to find, but the instructions in the check in email were really helpful.
The cottage was clean and just as listedWe walked around the neighborhood and had coffee in nearby shopsWe uber downtown to the market and the restaurants were wonderful!

Comfortable cottage
Free parking, close to everything. You can walk to most things in town. The steps weren't steep and we're easy to go up and down. Upstairs was comfortable and bathroom nice and clean.

Lovely home
Just as described. Beautiful area. Be sure to walk down Jones St. For beautiful homes.
House was clean and pretty. Nice park just a few steps away.
The location was great. Property was charming. The cottage was in need of a deep detailed cleaning but over all ok. The property was comfortable and homey but could use more blankets as it was cool while we were there and only one blanket on each bed. There were no pillows or blankets for the pull out that we could find. The kitchen was stocked nicely. We had a great time and would stay again.

Comfortable and convenient
The house is a nice size for 4 people and 2 dogs, and well located for coffee shops and restaurants (which, to be honest is why we were in Savannah). The house had everything we needed and is in good condition. Several reviewers had said the directions were confusing but we found it easily. More confusing was the door lock but by following the instructions it works out OK. We would definitely stay there again if it were available.
I enjoyed staying at this location with my two cousins. Though hot in Savannah we were able to walk to many great sites and restaurants in town within 15-30mins. The house worked well for the three of us. Some quirky things to work through (ex. the toilet had a unique flush handle and the shower had to point to the wall so as to not get water all over the floor in the downstairs bathroom), but not really a problem after figuring this all out. I would recommend this place and I would consider staying here again in the future.
The cottage was exceptionally clean. It was in a great location for walking. I only have one suggestion and that would be to have the upholstery cleaned on the living room chair. The arms were a bit sticky and dirty. But everything else in the cottage was very clean. The floors were so clean as well as the bathrooms. Bedding was also very clean and comfortable. Overall, a great place to stay. The location of the home is in an alley behind the beautiful Jones Street. We walked a little path to then walk down Jones Street. It’s breathtaking.

Adorable cottage in quiet neighborhood
The whole cottage, it’s charming, cozy, homey,Vintagey, spacious & lovely. We had everything we needed and then some in kitchen, dishes, utensils, pots pans, COFFEE POT , ice, & much more. We almost ran out of toilet paper the last day, had to ration lol. The cottage is located real close to the tourist sections , my grand daughters loved the jetted tub & quaint upstairs room. It was absolutely fabulous..
The kitchen chairs aren’t great but it was ok. Wouuld gladly stay again.

Entrance On An Alley
We had difficulty finding the address based on the directions given to us. It would have been better if they said that the entrance was on an alley between Taylor and Jones. Instead we wandered around the dark trying to find the place. The house was cute and comfy and in great location. The downstairs/main TV wasn't working and we called and messaged Vacasa and the owner. They did not respond until 48 hours later and by then we had someone come in to properly attach the cables.
the stay at the cottage was good overall. It was a nice space with everything that we needed on our trip. It was in a nice central area that made walking downtown easy. The only minor annoyances came from the maintenance men who showed up unannounced. First a man came to power wash the driveway and deck while we there. He was friendly but asked us to move our cars so he could power wash the driveway. This was annoying because 1.it was super loud and distracting and 2. We shouldn’t have to move our cars and inconvenience us when this could be done after we check out. Then on our final day another maintenance man came and said he needed to come inside to paint the upstairs bedroom. We flat out told him no and to come back later. I understand these properties need maintenance but please send them after guests check out. It was a bit annoying dealing with them for 2/3 we were there. I reached out to Vrbo and Vacasa and neither were any help.

Very Accurate Reviews
Before staying here I read many reviews and they were accurate, both positive and negative. What we liked: it was cleaned well (except the upstairs sheets smelled like cologne upon check-in), the location was fantastic (we walked everywhere and it’s very close to Forsyth Park), the area was safe and it was great to have a parking spot. Challenges: the keypad did not work so we had to carry the heavy key safe cover around with us during our stay. If it’s important to you to talk with an actual person, this is not the place for you. When trying to speak with someone regarding the malfunctioning keypad communication was sporadic, mostly via text, and half the time it was a bot. We never received a code that worked and it was clear that the answers were automated. The upstairs shower didn’t get hot so we both used the one downstairs which was fine, and it was well stocked. Overall we loved our stay, but I agree with people who said the furniture, rugs and mattresses are a little tired. It’s such an ideal location and the place itself is great, it just needs some love. It’s also worth mentioning that we found it and, I thought, booked it using Vrbo but it was transferred (without our knowledge or consent) to Vacasa which is a company I had never heard of and felt very impersonal. A decent price for a stand-alone house in the heart of historic Savannah.
We really like the house and the location was very good. It fit our needs almost perfectly, but the local management was horrific! I would stay away from any property managed by Vacasa. Their local office absolutely does NOT care at all if you have any problems. They refuse to service the property and will not call you to assist. We arrived to a broken toilet that had no handle. How do you lose the toilet handle? And how does the cleaning team not report it. And how do you ignore your customer for 4 days while you remove one of the most important utilities in the house. Vacasa did everything they could to try to ruin my wife's 40th birthday weekend. It failed, but so did my faith in their service. Also, the address that was provided was not the actual address of the property, so we had a lost overnight package! Do you think Vacasa cared to assist? Nope, not a chance. They actually blamed me because I didn't ask if it was OK for me to ship something to myself. It was a terrible experience. Stay away from Vacasa and look to another option for someone that actually cares.
The property management company was friendly and quick to respond when needed. The house was perfect for 3 girls. The white towels and sheets were a plus and the beds/pillows were very comfortable. The house is only a 15-20 minute walk from main attractions.
Accurate listing. Worked great for our large family!

We had a great stay, nothing to complain about - everything was as advertised. Nice property in a convenient location for historic Savannah. Booking was easy, will definitely book thru Vacasa in the future.
