About this property

Lower-Historic & Walkable Duplex near Forsyth Park

This 1864 two story house was once the home to a railroad clerk and his family. It was restored maintaining the original hard pine floors, fireplaces and decorative trim. Plus, it has off street parking. It’s in an excellent location, 3 short blocks from Forsyth park fountain. But it’s been given a modern touch by its current owner–an artist and graduate of Savannah College of Art & Design.

There are so many cool paintings and creative touches (the standout yellow front door among them) that we’ve taken to calling this the “Artist’s House.”

The home is a top/down duplex, and this listing covers the rooms on the lower-level apartment. The larger bedroom has a queen-sized bed, while the other bedroom holds 2 twin beds.

There is one bathroom.

The small kitchen has all the appliances you’ll need during your visit. There is a large living room with smart TV and seating for eight. The walls are decorated with the owner’s artworks. Through the windows, you’ll see the streets of Savannah’s historic district beckoning.

The walled-in backyard has a shady patio and outdoor seating. This area is shared with guests living in the top story.

You won’t find a more picturesque corner of Savannah to stay. Forsyth Park, with its fountain and oaks draped with Spanish moss, lies just blocks away, and historic downtown Savannah is fully accessible with the DOT shuttles running every 10 minutes.

The house were recently painted and decorated.

Lockbox for self check-in.

Parking area with outdoor security camera.

There is a laundry room next to the stairs outside the living room.

For stays of 38 nights or more, we are able to split your payments into multiple payments so that you do not have to pay for the entire amount upfront. Please contact us for more information on this.

Host?
It is old, quaint, great location, and a little risky for those not light on their toes, due to uneven floor surfaces, we wore heavy shoes at all times. I chose to pass on the non-refundable insurance option and placed a large damage deposit (5 x the insurance price) on my AmExpress card. Apparently Julie wasn't familiar w/ how VRBO handles that. So the communication may have been influenced by her lack of understanding the process. She repeatedly sent emails that there was no "hold" on my damage deposit. That is totally wrong. In addition, the VRBO site shows that I canceled 2 property reservations. So that may have tainted her attitude before hand, too. That was not the case. I clicked "book now" but never gave any credit card info to reserve any unit until one day prior. And that is the reservation we made and kept. At any rate, Julie took offense at my requesting the deposit, as there was no damage. She's rather touchy, so take care not to hurt any feelings. I know that the customer is NOT her 1st concern. I pointed out the failure of coffee maker to auto turn off after 2 hours, (we were gone all day & smelled burned coffee, dangerous) sponges being used to shim the granite near the kitchen sink, 2 large dead trees in backyard posed a threat of injury should they fall, Asian jasmine was growing into he wood siding near back steps, & the smoke alarm in the master bedroom broken. I mentioned these items to her after our stay so that she would be aware & hopefully improve the property for the next renter. She was most offended & confrontational. That is a shame. Consequently, VRBO informs me that there is a 14 day window that the host has to claim any damages. In a phone conversation Julie stated that she did not intend to provide any help in retrieving my credit card deposit. It would automatically be credited on July 7. Again: great location! Sadly, not much more!
