We had a great stay here in Savannah! Walking distance to all the great attractions in the city. Parking was easy with the lot in the back & street parking.
The pool was very nice. The house was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. It was also decorated very nicely. My family and I had a great time at this house. There were plenty of places located very close to the house.
My wife and I visited Savannah with our 8 month old daughter and this was a perfect spot for us. Having the pool was a great additional treat along with close location to Forsyth Park for walks. The pack n play was also great to have. We would book this property again!

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Too cold to swim. Strong musty smell. I think a dehumidifier would be good. The mattress in the small room sank in the middle and felt like I was sleeping on a slant. The property was clean but the cleaning charge was excessive.

Thank you for letting us know. Somehow, the box spring was broken and needed to be replaced.
Great historic location. Condo was perfect for us to enjoy Savannah, it is such a fun city and so welcoming.
The pool was a plus after a long day of site seeing.

Perfect location for seeing Savannah sites!
Beautiful and comfortable bedrooms and well stocked kitchen made for a great stay in Savannah. The Kroger just down the street and a short walk to Forsyth Park made for the perfect location.
Great communication, walking distance from pretty much everything. We had a great time. When we come back to Savannah, we will be staying here again.

Great place to stay!
We loved staying here! The condo was perfect for our trip. Comfy, charming and close to everything. Would highly recommend! And David was super easy to work with and very accommodating of our late check in!
Home was nice and it’s in a great location for walking and seeing the area. It’s also a close driving distance to other great attractions! Although we did not use the pool, it’s very nice and well maintained… great space for just relaxing!

Beautiful 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath. Great pool and minutes from all of Savannah's beauty!
The architecture and character of the unit and neighborhood was just what we were hoping for! Location is walking distance to everything! Very comfortable stay! The pool was a big plus after a long day of sights!
We loved our stay at this property. Communication was quick to respond with any questions I had. My kids loved the pool. We would definitely stay again.
This house was perfect for our quick trip to Savannah! David was great and check in was easy! The house was beautiful and perfect for our family of 4! We would definitely rent with David again!
Super nice place...some of the paint is chipping but nothing that would make me not stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Chad Krompak
Hello. This is Chad & Bobbi and welcome to our little piece of historic downtown Savannah. We came to Savannah 23 years ago on a friend's recommendation and fell in love with city. We have been living in the area ever since. As time goes by the city just keeps getting better. I hope you will find it as charming, romantic, and quirky as we do!
Why they chose this property
You picked a great location to explore the city. The condo is only a short walk to the famous Forsyth Park where parts of Forest Gump were filmed and host to many of the city's festivals and events. While you can find Forsyth on any tourist map, you won't see local gems such as Mate Factor Bakery, Treylor Park Pizza or Betty Bombers WWII themed bar. All just a few minuets walk from the condo.
You are also a 20 min walk or 5 min Uber ride to River Street, City Market, and the new(ish) Plant Riverside District. This is the heart of the tourist area and a must see. These areas are home to hundreds of unique bars, restaurants, and shops.
You are the same distance to the new and trendy Starland District. This area is home to the up-and-coming entertainment destination. It is centered by the Starland Yard container park. The whole place is made from old shipping containers.
The condo is also located about 30 min from the areas only public beach, Tybee Island. This can make a nice day trip and offers plenty of its own restaurants, shops, and activities.

What makes this property unique
The house was built in 1893 for Mr. James Leonard. Mr. Leonard was a prominent Savannah business owner and is buried in the historic Bonaventure cemetery. You can go visit him if you'd like. We did! There is a plaque from the Savannah Historical Society on the front of the house, commemorating the building.
We also have a pool! You will not find too many properties in the downtown area with a pool. The lots are typically small and simply cannot fit them. While the pool is shared with the rest of the units, there only 9 so it's never crowded.
You will also find a picnic basket on top of the cabinet in the back room. This is NOT A DECORATION, please use it. Forsyth is a great place for a picnic and Kroger is located right in between the condo and the park.
