Steps from River Street – Walk to Bars, Shops & Dining!

Welcome to Dickerson House, the home of a former sea captain. This gorgeous two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is located directly on the parade route for Savannah's St. Patrick's Day Parade. No need for a car, you can walk to all of the best restaurants and bars from this location.

Step into Savannah's rich maritime history at the Dickerson House, the former residence of Captain Henry James Dickerson, a prominent 19th-century sea captain and entrepreneur. Born in Maryland and drawn to Savannah's bustling harbor at the age of 19, Captain Dickerson rose from sailor to ship owner, building a fleet of vessels that played a vital role in the city's commerce and wartime efforts. His legacy lives on in this beautifully preserved home, situated at the vibrant corner of York and Abercorn Streets.

This stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers the perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Located directly on Savannah’s renowned St. Patrick’s Day Parade route, the Dickerson House provides front-row seats to one of the city's most cherished traditions.

Inside, you’ll find two spacious king bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with a convenient half bath nearby. Luxury bedding, thoughtfully curated furnishings, and a private outdoor patio overlooking historic Abercorn Street enhance your stay, offering a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city.

Please note: Guests will need to be able to climb stairs to access the property.

Stay where history meets hospitality and make unforgettable memories at the Dickerson House. Whether you’re here to explore Savannah’s storied past or to enjoy its vibrant present, this extraordinary home is ready to welcome you.

The property was perfectly situated in the city. Close to everything but far enough to be quiet at night. Both rooms were big with comfortable beds. Morning coffee and nightcaps on the balcony were nice too. It was not an issue for us, but know that if stairs are a problem, there are a couple flights to navigate to get to the entrance to the property. Plenty of towels, kitchen supplies, pillows and blankets. Would recommend.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience at the Historic Dickerson House in Savannah. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how beautifully decorated and comfortable the home was. The two bedrooms were spacious, and the entire house had everything we needed for our two-night stay. My husband and I, along with another couple, found the space to be just what we needed. The location was absolutely ideal—not only was it beautiful, and close to all the action but it was also incredibly convenient with a parking deck nearby. The hosts were amazing; they were very responsive and their suggestions for things to do around the city were spot-on. We truly loved our stay and would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a memorable Savannah trip. I would definitely rent this property again the next time I am in Savannah.

We picked this because of the location and it fit our needs perfectly. We wanted to be close by to the waterfront and shopping and in walking distance to restaurants. The unit is spacious with high ceilings and is located on a nice square full of history. We had good luck with parking also.

Great Property and Location

This was a great and quiet location to stay and had a very historical feel to it. Sitting in the living room listening to the horse carriages in the street gave the impression I had traveled back in time! The only thing I was worried about was the parking, but there were plenty of street parking close by and it was cheaper than parking at a hotel. Would stay here again.

Perfect location off a Savannah Square

As a Savannah native returning to town with friends to show off the city, I could not ask for a more picturesque location. Accommodations were beautiful and the location is perfect for walking nearly anywhere in the historic district. Property owner was easy to communicate with, and we knew they were there in case we needed them! Thanks again for opening your place to us.
