Weekend Getaway
This VRBO was perfect for a weekend getaway. The accommodations were clean and within walking distance of almost all attractions. We particularly enjoyed being directly across the street from Forsyth Park. Our host was a great communicator and left us a list of recommended places to visit/eat. We would definitely consider staying at this location the next time we are in town!

Really enjoyed our stay in Savannah. Nice quiet location across from Forsyth Park. Easy to get to other areas in the historic district. Outside area was nice. Turned on dehumidifier right away which helped keep humidity down.

Taste of Savannah
Forsythe Park is truly steps away - directly across the street. We loved being able to take a very short walk into the park with our dog to enjoy a fantastic breakfast at Collins Quarter. Shops, restaurants, the squares were all so accessible. We had a family emergency that created some challenges with our schedule and our hostess was so helpful. Communication was quick and easy. Parking around the corner was easy. We loved the location and the apartment is charming. The bed was cozy, there are books and tv for down time and the bed was comfy. Bathroom is small.

This is such a great location in a charming area next to one of the main squares in Savannah. It was great to be able to walk to restaurants and city sites all weekend! The condo was spacious and had all the amenities. The property manager was very responsive and helpful.

Quirky and Quaint
This place is really cute and very centrally located. It is about a 20 minute walk to River Street so just close enough to join the festivities but far enough away to enjoy the tranquility of Forsyth Park. It was relaxing to sit on the porch and watch people walk by in the mornings before starting the day. However, just a few things to note…when we arrived the unit was pitch black with just the TV on which I found odd. Second, the unit smelled extremely moldy and musty which was not desirable at all. We figured out it was coming from the HVAC unit and we turned it off. The HVAC unit needs to be replaced. It was filled with black dust and mildew. Thankfully the weather was cool enough so we did not need it. Third, the unit lacks light. The light bulbs are so dim. We ended up opening all the shutters to allow light in because there was never enough light. We were practically eating in the dark one night. Lastly, I wish the owners would put a little more “love” into this unit. It was so dark and dingy. They could really spruce it up with some good lighting, more modern decor and better furnishings/bedding. All in all, I would stay here again because of the location but I have seen other reviewers mentioning the same things I have and I would hope the owners take this/these reviews into consideration because the space and location are very darling.

Perfect in every way
Wonderful apartment - has everything you need. Terrific location - we walked to everywhere we wanted to go. Lovely neighborhood. No challenges finding parking - there’s even an EV charger at Forsyth Park (slow but free). Highly recommend!
