Great cozy cottage
We’re really enjoyed the layout and accommodations. The bigger bedroom was split from the second room giving some privacy. The bathroom was a decent size with a nice shower. The living room was a good size for hanging out together.

Why they chose this property

The Beach Institute Neighborhood, on the east side of Savannah's Historic District, was developed in the 1850s by investors for the Savannah-Albany Railroad seeking to create housing for their workers. Overall, it was an integrated neighborhood with a strong German presence and black ownership as early as the 1860s. The predominant building type was the double one-story cottage. These cottages are not found anywhere else in Historic Savannah. The streets are tight, and homes abut the sidewalk, creating a very urban, city neighborhood atmosphere.

In the 1980s, the King-Tisdell Cottage Foundation and the Historic Savannah Foundation aimed to resist the gentrification and displacement occurring throughout downtown Savannah because of the historic preservation movement. The effort was successful, and today is considered a model for conscious historic preservation planning throughout the nation. Because of these initiatives, the established Beach Institute Historic Neighborhood remains the oldest surviving African American neighborhood in Savannah.

What makes this property unique

Built in 1867 by George Bulloch and Cyrus Campfield, the 1st floor apartment of this unique 150-year-old cottage house has historic charm and a deck with a vintage spiral staircase to the balcony above that overlooks the home’s private courtyard. Please note that the courtyard may be shared with guests staying in the 2nd floor apartment.
