Your Private Retreat in Historic Savannah | Heated Pool Access
Oglethorpe Estate Main House: A Spacious Savannah Historic District Retreat Experience Savannah from the heart of the Historic District at Oglethorpe Estate Main House, a spacious historic residence located along East Oglethorpe Avenue. Recently refurnished with thoughtfully selected décor and updated furnishings, the home offers a welcoming atmosphere that complements its original character. Accommodating up to 10 guests, the main house features generous living and dining areas, a full kitchen, multiple sitting spaces, access to a shared courtyard, and off-street parking for up to two vehicles. Located beside Colonial Park Cemetery and surrounded by the architecture, landscaped squares, and tree-lined streets that define city centre Savannah, Oglethorpe Estate Main House places guests in an ideal location for experiencing the city on foot. Restaurants, shops, museums, historic landmarks, and many of Savannah's best-known attractions are all within convenient reach. Whether you are planning a family holiday, reunion, wedding weekend, or getaway with friends, the home provides plenty of room for everyone to stay together. Its spacious layout also offers separate areas where guests can read, relax, work remotely, or enjoy a quiet moment away from the group. After a full day of sightseeing, return to a comfortable home base where your group can gather, prepare a meal, and settle into the relaxed pace of Savannah.
Recently Refurnished Living and Dining Spaces Oglethorpe Estate Main House has been recently refurnished with updated pieces and thoughtfully selected décor that complement the character of the historic residence. The interiors feel fresh and inviting while still allowing the home's original architectural details to remain an important part of the experience. Hardwood floors, tall windows, classic trim, and generously sized rooms reflect the traditional character found throughout Savannah's Historic District. The main house begins on the second level of the building, above the separate garden-level unit. Upon entering the main living spaces, guests will find a comfortable setting designed for gathering. Leather sofas provide ample seating for larger groups, making the living room a natural place to reconnect after a day spent exploring city centre. Settle in for an evening of conversation, plan the next day's activities, or simply enjoy a slower moment together before heading out to dinner. Tall windows allow natural light to fill the room, while the home's architectural details provide a sense of history and character. The generous floor plan helps the living area feel open and comfortable, even when the entire group is gathered in one place.
Nearby, the formal dining area offers a dedicated setting for shared meals, morning coffee, or an evening spent at home. The dining space allows everyone to come together without feeling crowded, whether you are enjoying takeaway from a nearby restaurant or preparing a meal in the kitchen. The full kitchen includes full-size appliances, ample cabinetry, and generous counter space for storing groceries, drinks, and holiday essentials. Guests can prepare breakfast before heading out for the day, pack snacks for an afternoon of sightseeing, or enjoy a relaxed dinner without leaving the property. The combination of a complete kitchen and a formal dining area makes the main house especially convenient for families and groups planning an extended stay. In addition to the primary living and dining spaces, several bedrooms include their own sitting areas. These smaller spaces give guests additional options for relaxing throughout the home and make it easier for different members of the group to follow their own schedules.
Sleeping Accommodation for Up to 10 Guests Sleeping accommodation is arranged across the upper levels of the main house, with a total of two king beds and four queen beds. Each bedroom has been furnished to provide a comfortable and welcoming place to unwind at the end of the day. On the second level of the main house, the first bedroom features two queen beds. The airy room offers plenty of space for guests to unpack and settle in, while its fresh design creates a relaxing atmosphere. A sitting area within the bedroom adds to the room's generous layout and provides an additional place to read, enjoy a cup of coffee, or relax before heading out for the day.
The second bedroom on this level features a king bed surrounded by serene colours and layered accents. Two armchairs create a separate sitting area within the room, giving guests a comfortable place to relax outside of the main living room. This bedroom also includes an ensuite bathroom with a tub and shower combination, providing added privacy and convenience. Continue to the third level of the main house, where two additional bedrooms offer their own distinct styles and spacious layouts. One bedroom features two queen beds along with a sitting area, making it a convenient option for guests sharing a room. The additional seating creates a comfortable space to unwind and gives the bedroom a more open, flexible feel. The final bedroom includes a king bed and its own sitting area. Thoughtfully selected furnishings, comfortable bedding, and a spacious arrangement make this room another inviting retreat within the home. With four bedrooms distributed across two levels, the main house provides flexibility for families, couples, and groups of friends travelling together. Guests can enjoy shared spaces throughout the day while still having comfortable bedrooms and sitting areas to return to when they are ready to relax.
Shared Courtyard and Private Parking Outside, guests of the main house have access to the property's courtyard, which is shared with the separate garden-level unit. Outdoor seating provides an easy place to enjoy morning coffee, spend a little time in the fresh air, or unwind after exploring the city. A grill is also available for guests who would like to prepare a casual meal outdoors. The courtyard offers a welcome change of pace from the activity of city centre Savannah. It provides an additional gathering space beyond the home's interior and allows guests to enjoy the city's mild coastal climate during their stay. Oglethorpe Estate Main House also includes off-street parking for up to two vehicles. Parking is an especially valuable convenience in Savannah's Historic District, where street spaces may be limited or metered. Guests can park at the property and explore many nearby destinations without needing to move their vehicles throughout the day. Because of the home's central location, walking is often one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to experience the surrounding area. Guests can leave their vehicles at the property while visiting nearby squares, restaurants, museums, shops, and historic landmarks.
Stay in the Heart of Savannah's Historic District Oglethorpe Estate Main House places guests within convenient reach of Savannah's most recognisable historic sites and city centre destinations. Colonial Park Cemetery is beside the property, while Oglethorpe Square, Columbia Square, and the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters are all nearby. Continue towards Broughton Street for shopping, coffee, dining, and local boutiques. City Market, Bay Street, and River Street also offer restaurants, galleries, entertainment, and views along the Savannah River. The Historic District's walkable layout makes it easy to explore the city at your own pace. Tour a historic home, enjoy lunch at a area restaurant, or wander beneath moss-draped live oaks as you pass landscaped squares, historic churches, brick pavements, and preserved architecture. With accommodation for up to 10 guests, a full kitchen, generous living and dining areas, multiple sitting spaces, access to a shared courtyard, two off-street parking spaces, and a highly walkable location, Oglethorpe Estate Main House offers a comfortable home base for experiencing Savannah.

Great location and large spacious rooms for all guests. The hosts are very easy to work with and give clear directions for check in/check out. A great place to stay!
We spent two nights here. The house is in nice spot - easy walking distance to the river and other dining options. The house itself was large, comfortable, and clean. Would definitely stay here again!
We came to Savannah to celebrate two birthdays! The home was wonderful for the number of people we had. The location was GREAT! We would love to come again!!
Great location for a girl's trip! Could walk to City Market, Riverwalk, shopping and restaurants. Clean, charming house with lots of character and an elevator!! Had a great time!
I stayed here with some business associates. The house was as advertised and worked quite well for our visit. Pretty conveniently located, would definitely use again.
The home could not have been better! Very large bedrooms and living room. Each bedroom has a separate bathroom, so with 8 adults this was key. Perfect location, the home was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at!
Our stay was great! A group of 9 of us stayed comfortably all weekend. The rooms were spacious, as were the beds, so no one felt cramped sharing. All the bathrooms seemed to work well too. The 3 floors were a lot of climbing with our big suitcases, so maybe wouldn’t be too suitable for older guests but we did fine. The location was great, we walked absolutely everywhere with ease. We would absolutely stay again, thank you!
This property was perfect for my bachelorette weekend. All 11 of us had a bed to sleep in (no pull out couches or air mattresses needed) and each room had so much space! The location cannot be beat, it is right in the center of everything-- half way between River Street and Forsyth Park and 2 blocks away from Collins Quarter. The shower in the master bedroom on the 2nd floor is not super intuitive, but you have to pull the handle out and then spin to the desired temperature. It was a great stay overall!
This charming house was the perfect place for my friends and I to relax and enjoy Savannah. The house was very spacious and comfortable. It has an elevator but there are many stairs so be aware if you have mobility issues. The location was perfect, and everything was within walking distance. It is across the street from a graveyard that locals treat like a park and use it for walking and exercising their dogs. A nice historical property that bears its age well.
The house is located amid beautiful historical houses and lush scenery. Great place to walk around and shop local businesses. Quiet and serene. Loved Tybee Island especially the beaches. The weather was warmer than what we're used to but the house was nice and cool. Plenty of space for 5 adults and 3 teenagers.The stairs were a bit of a challenge but we made it. We all loved it and the atmosphere. Would love to come back and see more. Definitely worth it!

Love the location!
Our group of 6 college friends came from all over the country. Beds were clean & comfortable. AC worked well, internet was good. Furnishings were pretty worn, stair railing to 3rd floor needs stabilizing, elevator was not usable, back stairs are fairly tricky for anyone w mobility issues. Strong odor at the back door. We kept the dehumidifiers running 24/7. Would have loved to have two little soaps per bathroom but we made it work & had a good time.
Amazing location in Savannah. Able to walk to all the top sites. The property was clean, beautifully apppointed and in a wonderful, safe neighborhood. The property manager was very responsive to any and all questions. The only real negative was the beds. They weren’t great to be honest. The queen beds are like college dorm mattresses. One of the king beds was softer and more comfortable but the rest needed a mattress topper or new mattresses. I like a firm mattress but these were rough. Even with that, it is still a 5 star stay because the location and home is just amazing. Would highly recommend.

Great location
Location great. House is large and functional, but worn. High ceilings mean steep staircases. Railings dangerously wobbly. Elevator not working on arrival.Management did get it fixed end of next day. Glass pane missing in bathroom door to fire escape. Not repaired during stay. Outdoor front lighting poor. Kitchen amenities basic.A few trip hazards with rugs. Needs maintenance. Perhaps owner needs to visit.
Our stay was good overall. The location was ideal and in the middle of all the great restaurants but still walking distance to the river. Communication was great and quick. We were not able to use the elevator since it was not functioning upon arrival, but they did over to fix it. Our stay wasn’t long enough to really bother with it. So we just dealt with the inconvenience. House was not as clean and a bit run down. The floors creaked a lot and walking up and down the stairs to heat up milk for the baby sucked, especially since the elevator lead straight into the bedroom. Not the most suitable for a family traveling with a newborn and dog.
The property is great with minor issues. Doors were almost impossible to open into the house with continuous rain. Became way too tight. Can't be helped, there was A lot of rain. A few blinds need to be replaced, an easy fix! In one top bedroom, 4 nails are sticking up out of the wood (we didn't have a hammer). In the same bedroom, the carpet needs to be fixed down, its permanently raised in one corner. Grandaughter (teen) fell leaving the bathroom. A great location and an enjoyable family time. Lots of room.

Good location, disappointing residence
Residence is on 3 floors. Have to walk up a flight of stairs with luggage to enter the residence before you can access the elevator. Elevator was inconsistent. Living room furniture is very uncomfortable. Bathroom bar soap and shampoo very tiny. One bathroom door handle fell off. Kitchen glasses were a random, unmatched assortment. We only had 5 people and had to contact management company so we could get phone and tv internet connection, which they handled promptly. Outside patio was along an alley and dirty. Convenient location. Fir the price we expected better accommodations
Our group of 8 stayed for four nightsThe Good: Communication with the host was excellent. They sent multiple emails and texts before our arrival date with clear info for how to find and enter the property. Location is perfect for exploring Savannah— walkable to just about anywhere and near bus stops. The parking spot in the alley behind is handy and (just barely) fit our 15-passenger van. Spacious home, comfortable enough beds, and air-temp was just right.The Bad: As others have mentioned, the stairs are creeky and also slanted, due to the age of the building. There are three flights inside, so I wouldn’t recommend this place for families with tiny children or people who have mobility issues. Things like hand towels in the powder bath, a TP roll holder in one of the master baths, and extra towels for dishes were not provided. There is no window covering over the doors where the elevator is for two bedrooms, which allows light in and also isn’t very private. One rug someone had mentioned tripping on is still sticking up and caused tripping for us, and one of the privacy glass panes from the bathroom door is still missing, as mentioned in a previous review. Also, the chairs and sofa are super worn out and ought to be replaced. Beds were okay, but the pillows weren’t very comfy.The Ugly: there is black mold in the kitchen cabinet beneath the sink. There was a swarm of bees in the top floor master bedroom upon our arrival. We did alert the host, and they were trying to arra
We brought our Girl Scout troop and this place met all of our needs for our trip. The management company was constantly sending communications sharing very helpful and detailed information, and was pretty quick to respond to any questions that I had. We had a great stay.
The property was beautiful and clean the host was wonderful in responding back if you have a question or concerns. I definitely recommend it to my family and friends. I cannot complain. About the overall experience staying there.
