We had a group of 5 stay here while we were in town for a family birthday. It was very comfortable and clean. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. We’ll definitely stay here again!
We met some friends here to visit for the weekend. The house was clean and the neighborhood was super cute. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again if in the area.
Very close to GSU, ample parking, lots of little extras for families with young children. Three clean very spacious bedrooms each with a bathroom. Our daughter commented on how lovely it would be to have their friends and families alumnus of GSU for a future get together.
We enjoyed our weekend at this place. It was clean and quiet little home in a cul de sac neighborhood. This was our second time. The home had everything you needed for a short stay. A lot of shopping and amenities close by. Owner is quick to respond
This is our second time to stay at this property. 3BR, 2BA with plenty of room & fenced in yard. Great neighborhood & close to town. Will always chose to stay here for our yearly trip to Statesboro. Thank you for being pet friendly for responsible pet owners !
We stayed at this little cottage when we came up to move our daughter into GSU. It was perfect for our needs!
It’s in a great neighborhood, very convenient to everything we needed.
The house was cozy and comfortable and tastefully decorated.
The owner was very responsive to my messages.
We will definitely stay here again when we come up to visit our new Eagle!
Clean and comfortable and super convenient to campus and more
We were moving our daughter into her dorm at GSU, so we didn't spend a lot of time at the property, but it was everything we needed. Clean, comfortable, everything worked (including the Roku TV that was great for catching a movie and unwinding after the move-in). Extremely convenient to campus, dining, etc. Kaelin was super nice and helpful in all our communications regarding check-in, check-out, etc.
This was an average VRBO property. It worked for our stay in Statesboro, but could use some updating in appliances, kitchen utensils and needed some maintenance. Have stayed at other VRBO properties that provided a better value relative to the cost paid. However, the Property manager was excellent, responsive and helpful in resolving some of the issues we encountered.
Pretty home in an appealing neighborhood. Close enough to downtown that we walked to dinner. House was well appointed. Plenty of supplies in kitchen and bathrooms. Very comfortable.
