Best Location Period! Luxury On Renowned Jones St In Heart Of Historic District!

PLEASE READ NOTES AT THE END OF THIS DESCRIPTION FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Welcome to Jones Gem, a Southern Demesne luxury property! Conde Nast Traveler Magazine has named Savannah one of the “Top Cities in the United States”, and our mission is to help you have a top travel experience. We accomplish this by providing a world-class accommodation in a perfect location with the intimacy and convenience of a private residence. We pride ourselves on being available 24/7 to ensure that our guests have an outstanding experience.

This exclusive property is located in the heart of Savannah’s Landmark Historic District, specifically within the trendy Design District, on renowned Jones Street, a cobblestone paved lane that Southern Living Magazine called “one of the prettiest streets in the South”. Nestled among Spanish moss-draped oak trees, Jones Gem is a short walk to anything you will want to experience in downtown Savannah. Once you arrive, you can stash your car keys for the duration of your stay because you are just a few blocks from both the lively atmosphere of City Market, Plant Riverside and River Street in one direction and the quiet beauty of Forsyth Park in the other. Directly across the street is world-famous Ms. Wilke’s Restaurant as well as some of the most popular boutiques and homegoods shops in the city. The St. Patrick’s Day parade route is just 1 block away, Paula Deen's Lady & Sons is a leisurely 5 minute stroll through the picturesque squares, and the wonderful beaches of Tybee Island are only a short 20 minute drive. Hilton Head Island is only 45 minutes away. We encourage you to use the 'location' tab or map to compare our location. You won't find a more centrally located property.

Jones Gem is a completely renovated 2 bedroom 2 bath flat with 1,740 square feet of living space that occupies the 2nd floor of a federal style brick mansion built in 1850. While having all of the modern amenities and cleanliness one would expect from an upscale hotel, the home’s character and ambiance remain true to the historic charm of Savannah. With antique heart pine floors, high ceilings, original moldings, crystal chandeliers and 3 decorative fireplaces, it is also well-equipped with free Wi-Fi, cable/streaming TV, and premium fixtures, appliances and furnishings.

The large living room features original wood floors, a decorative fireplace, 48” flat screen smart TV and a queen-sized sleeper sofa. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, natural stone floors and granite counter tops with a tumbled stone back splash. The Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances include a two-drawer dishwasher, 30-inch range, microwave, wine refrigerator, full sized refrigerator/freezer, Nespresso machine and a Keurig coffee maker (K cups included) in addition to a traditional drip coffee maker. There is also a washer/dryer. Directly off of the kitchen is a cozy dining room that overlooks a common courtyard.

The oversized master suite boasts heart pine floors, decorative fireplace and a king-sized four poster bed. Connected to the bedroom is the private master bathroom, which features yet another fireplace, custom glass surround shower, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures and dual custom vanities with natural stone surrounds and floors.

The guest room has two twin beds that can be combined to make a queen, original wood floors and high ceilings. The guest bathroom, located in the hallway, has a large shower in natural stone surround with a built-in bench.

A staircase leads from an outdoor deck off of the dining room to the charming courtyard below, the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine with friends at the end of the day.

We provide all of our guests with an iron/board, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. We are happy to help arrange private tours, fishing charters, boat excursions, babysitters or to assist in making reservations at any of the wonderful local restaurants. Visiting Savannah for a special occasion? We will arrange to have flowers and champagne waiting for you or do our best to accommodate any other special requests you might have - just let us know!

The history and charm of Savannah is what makes it one of the most popular tourist destinations in America. When booking your stay, be sure to look for a property that will enhance your experience by offering the historic feel that makes Savannah so special. Thank you for considering Jones Gem!

Gorgeous home, perfect location

This beautiful home set the perfect tone for our family trip to Savannah. Jones street is stunning and this home is the perfect walking distance to the beautiful parks and squares, restaurants and coffee shops, and tourist attractions like the trolly tour and multiple museums. The house was very clean, the beds were really comfortable, and it was the perfect way to unwind at the end of our long touristy days. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Savannah!

A Perfect Savannah Stay

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful VRBO on Jones Street. The home was not only beautiful and spotless but also dog-friendly, which made traveling with our pup so much easier. The thoughtful touches throughout the space made it feel extra special—clearly a lot of care goes into making guests feel welcome and comfortable. And you simply can’t beat the location—peaceful, picturesque, and just steps from all the best that Savannah has to offer. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Taylor

Host profile image
Jones Gem is owned and operated by the Taylor family; Michael, Melissa and their 2 amazing children, Will & Noland. Michael has lived in Savannah for more than two decades. After visiting the Hostess City for a long weekend in 1998, he fell in love with its beauty and charm and decided to make it his permanent home. Melissa was born and raised in Savannah. She is a realtor and knows every detail of the local market.

As avid travelers, we have spent extended periods of time overseas and have been to some of the most exotic places on the planet, so we have a unique perspective on hospitality. One of the reasons we purchased this property was because we absolutely love hosting guests and enjoy introducing others to our fascinating hometown. We strive to provide our guests with the same discriminating level of accommodations and experience that we expect when we travel.

We live in Savannah and stand ready to provide whatever service we can to make sure your stay is wonderful. Our goal is to provide you with a 5-star memory so that you'll leave a 5-star review.

Why they chose this property

We chose to purchase this property because of it's ideal location and it's true-to-Savannah charm. Jones Street has long been considered one of the most exclusive addresses in the South. Very few streets in America offer such character. When the opportunity to own a piece of such storied history presented itself, we couldn't resist.

What makes this property unique

While there are many nice vacation properties available in Savannah, many of them offer nothing unique. Because so many properties are in recently finished loft spaces or in newly constructed complexes, they are no different than thousands of other condos in any city in America. Folks come to Savannah for its unique history. Why would you come to a place for its charm and character but stay in a property that lacks it?

And don't forget about location. Stay too far down town and you'll end up battling unbearable noise and impossible parking. Stay too far South and you'll be inconvenient to shops and restaurants. Jones Gem offers the best of both worlds - a leisurely 10 minute walk through beautiful squares to either end of the historic district but with the peace and quiet of an upscale residential area. We encourage you to use the 'location' tab and map to compare Jones Gem to other properties.
