Great location. Walk or take free bus to everything. There was only parking for one car at the property, but we found easy parking a few streets down.

The parking situation was stated in the listing and the confirmation and check-in emails. We only have one garage space and additional parking is along the street, first come first serve.
Wonderful location and great property for large families. Hosts were great and easy to reach. You are steps to Forsyth Park and numerous amazing Savannah hot spots. The home is also decorated very well and stocked with anything you might need!

Thanks so much for the review. So happy you enjoyed your stay and we would love to host you again sometime.
We loved this property and it was perfect for our girls trip. We took two cars and were able to park one in the garage and the other on the street. The sliding glass door into the house could not be unlocked by those who parked in the garage so I’m glad we had two cars. Once we entered the front door we were able to unlock the sliding glass door. There were no paper towels or dish towels in the kitchen which would have been helpful.

The back door of the house is always locked before a guest’s arrival for security. We also do provide paper towels and kitchen towels. I’m not sure why you did not find these items, but if you had let me know, my cleaner could have brought some out to you, no problem. You never mentioned it during your stay.
The house has the perfect historic Savannah vibe. The location is ideal and a half a block from Forsyth Park. Property managers are great and very responsive

Thanks for the review! So glad the house met your needs and you enjoyed your stay!
No idea why this guest rated us with one star. She had no complaints at all during her stay. I’m at a loss as to what was so wrong as nothing was reported to us other than a fitted sheet missing from a bed (total accident on my cleaners’ behalf which could have easily been remedied had it been reported). And it is clearly stated in the listing that there are multiple floors/staircases. .
The property took my breathe away. The property is beautiful and you can't get a better location. The host was very responsive and accommodating. Would love to stay there again!

Beautiful historic home in the center of downtown Savannah!
Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday at this beautiful home. All ages (3-71) had a great time! The house was clean, full of all the essentials we could need, and the hosts were so kind and responsive to all our questions. Steps from Forsyth park, a playground, and the many wonderful sites of Savannah! We highly recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful stay at our home in Savannah. There were hiccups with appliances and such but the property managers were responsive and helpful! Had a great stay just not long enough!
Thank You
Our group of 8 adult cousins, uncles, and spouses truly enjoyed gathering at this gorgeous home from all over US. The hosts were extremely welcoming and communicative. We were able to be very close to view the St. Patrick’s Parade, enjoy Forsyth Park, and walk to the downtown attractions. Having family breakfast was wonderful at the large dinning table.

About the host
Hosted by Jessica Copenhaver
We live in the Charleston, SC area and visit Savannah often. We love the downtown area, with its beautiful parks and squares, huge live oaks, gorgeous houses and architecture, shopping, and restaurants. We especially love walking through Forsyth Park on a Saturday morning to check out the market and vendors. When our daughter decided to attend Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), we decided to purchase an investment property in the area that we could also use as our vacation home when we came to visit. We have over 6 years of hosting experience and are happy to share this beautiful and unique Savannah property with our guests.
Why they chose this property
We love this grand old home for its historic appeal, beautiful architecture, original floors, woodwork, and trim, as well as its prime location, which is only half a block from Forsyth Park on beautiful tree-lined East Gaston Street. It is centrally located within easy walking distance to restaurants, shops, and squares, and about a 20-minute walk to the historic Riverfront.
What makes this property unique
A great location, within walking distance to most of Savannah's attractions. Tall ceilings, large bedrooms, hardwood floors, original woodwork, a lovely courtyard, and a quaint carriage house for two (with garage) add to the charm of this older home. The home has been updated with modern conveniences, but retains many original features.
