Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the house, the backyard, and the driveway. Please refer to the check-in guide on the app for more details.
*Note: The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood, so we ask that the space be treated with dignity and respect. Please keep noise to a minimum. Parties and events are not allowed. Bring plenty of bug spray while enjoying the outdoors in Savannah!
The Neighborhood:

*Food goodness is walkable! Try Finches for breakfast or lunch, Tubbys for happy hour, Tortugas for brunch, and Lowcountry for dinner.
*Walk along River Drive and check out the historic shrimp boats
*Historic Bonaventure Cemetery is 1.5 mile away with a 1.5 mile perimeter trail
*Set up a farm bag with Vertu Farms located at the historic Roberd's Dairy 2 miles away and check out their farmer's market on Tu & Fri
Getting Around:
The property is conveniently located halfway between Tybee Island’s beaches (15-min) and Downtown Savannah (10-min). You can easily Uber/Lyft to either side if you're not interested in driving around - but you will definitely need transportation to get around between those places as the roadways are not walkable due to the lack of sidewalks. You can certainly go for a morning stroll on the in the Town of Thunderbolt, where the property is located, here as they are mostly quiet during the day and do have sidewalks.
There is a very nice Publix grocery store approximately six minutes from the house. In the event of an emergency, you can go to Urgent Care 24/7 in Whitemarsh (6-minute drive). The Chatham County Police Precinct is approximately 2.5-miles. And the closest fire emergency station is 1.5-miles away.
Other Things to Note:
This home is perfectly situated between Downtown Savannah and Tybee Island (beach), so your stay here will place you in the best location to explore both areas of Savannah. The best part is that you can explore the city, or the beach, then retreat to a quiet and quaint neighborhood in a less-traveled part of town.
We ask that the space, other guests, and our neighbors are treated with dignity and respect. Please respect the home and its rules. This will help us maintain peace and ensure that all of our guests have a wonderful Savannah Stay!

This house was so cozy! We stayed here with friends to go see the Savannah Bananas and it was such a convenient location--located just a short drive from Grayson Stadium, Historic Downtown Savannah, and everything we wanted to do! Plenty of space for all four adults and just a lovely place to stay. Would highly recommend staying at this property and would certainly stay here again!
Convenient location, not very far from the Thunderbolt Bridge. It’s a short walk to the water where you can sit on benches and watch the boats go in and out. The property is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. It’s minutes away from a convenience store and Tubby’s on Thunderbolt Restaurant.
The house itself has a private backyard and gated side yard which we took part in relaxing in both locations. Our favorite spot was the screened in back porch. This place was ideal for my husband and I and my mom. Beautifully decorated and equipped with most of what you’d need for a few days stay. We did order groceries via DoorDash from Food Lion with no issues as well.
Cute, clean and comfortable. The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was also quiet. There was a festival across the street and we couldn’t hear it inside the house. We were in town for our daughter’s wedding and it was just perfect.

VRBO gave us the wrong address, the wrong check in time and the wrong check out time.
Given that VRBO gave us primarily all the wrong info, it caused a SIGNIFICANT delay in check out and check out time considering we were given the wrong address and had Multiple visitors in Multiple vehicles. All our plans and reservations were based off the address VRBO gave us and caused such a headache. We had to suffer long waiting periods bc we did not have reservations for the correct location. We were even given the wrong check in and check out times which caused panick specifically at check out. This was supposed to be a surprise birthday get away and her significant other planned to propose. VRBO really let us down on this once in a life time opportunity we will never get back.
