Great Place to Stay

We have used HomeAway in several cities the cottage was one of the best we have stayed in. It was exactly as represented and the owner was more than helpful we have visited Savannah several times but new arrivals will find all the information they need for a great visit.

Perfect place for exploring Savannah!

This rental was exactly as described (possibly even better) and the location was perfect! We were able to walk many places in Old Town and easily drive out of town for exploring further. We were so incredibly comfortable and happy with this little place that we spent more time at the rental than we usually do. Modern kitchen and bathroom, ample bedroom, & cozy living/dining area. We appreciated the washer dryer and enjoyed the little semi-private deck.

Old world space in great locale

I stayed here for 2 days. The place was great, and had an old world charm to it (though it's fully updated). It was in a great location too: close enough to walk into town, but not too close where street noise could be a factor. Very comfy place!

Relaxing Stay

We were in Savannah for the week. The house is cute and comfortable and walking distance to just about anything down town. We picked up a walking guide book and used it to guide us around town several days and we took a drive to Tybee island one day. We enjoyed everything and knew we had our comfortable cottage after a day out. We will be back<3

Perfect

This was a wonderful property. My husband and I loved the fact that you can walk everywhere within 20 minutes or less. It has a sweet little patio outside and the house is impeccably clean. The owner is super nice. Would highly recommend!

We enjoyed our recent stay! Thank you

The only issue we ran into was parking. Our rental car did not fit in the space provided and we had a very difficult time finding street parking nearby that wasn't affected by the street sweeping "no parking" schedule.

Quiet, Historic & Charming

Savannah is my favorite place to vacation and now the Jingle Bells Square Cottage is my new favorite place to stay! The cottage was clean and had modern appliances yet had a historical feel. It was close to several good restaurants and not too far to walk to River Street. Parking was available on the street but make sure you're not parked there on street-cleaning day which was Saturday or you will get ticketed!

Wonderful!

We really enjoyed our stay at Jingle Bells Square Cottage - what a cozy little house full of character perfect for a couple. Hands down a much better stay here in a beautiful neighborhood where you can truly experience the character of Savannah versus staying in a nondescript hotel room. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen where we were able to cook some tasty breakfasts thanks to a butcher shop just around the corner which was full of wonderful food items. The fireplace was especially nice as it warmed up the cottage during the chilly January evenings. We were concerned about the parking spot since other reviews stated how small it was, but the owner was incredibly helpful with parking directions and we had no problem at all backing in our small SUV in the space and had no reason to move it again until our departure since everything was a short walk away. The only drawback to our stay was how early in the morning the construction crews started next door (shortly after 7:00am) so don't plan on sleeping in, not even on Saturday, until they finish the building behind the cottage.

One of our best rental experience ever!

We have used VRBO for many years and this is one of the best experiences we have had. The cottage is adorable. I wanted to move right in! It is within walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The owner was very responsive to emails and answering any questions we had. We even received numerous emails prior to our arrival letting us know about special deals and events. My only comment would be (and this is not a negative), it is not easy to find. The parking is actually off an alley and not the street listed as the address. Also, the owner says parking is intended for a small car - he means SMALL!!! We had no problem fitting our car, but the passenger had to get out first or the door wouldn't open! Again, this isn't meant as a negative - only to inform other renters. There is plenty of other parking nearby We would absolutely rent this cottage again. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect location in historic district

We enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood, the secluded patio for eating and drinking, the proximity of the Beach Institute for morning coffee and brunch as well as museum tour. The cottage furnishings are beautiful and queen bed is very comfortable. We would definitely return.

This property was very nice, clean, and as shown in the picture. Old house but very nice overall. Kitchen was well stocked and big considering size of the house. Location was awesome. Within 10-15 min walk of everywhere. Property manager Pam was very nice by stopping in our little backyard to chat with us and answered of of our questions. A great stay

All was great except the contact info for the property manager we received pre arrival online was incorrect. The booklet on site had the correct phone number so we were able to make contact. They may want to correct this oversight. Thanks

Walk to Everything in Savannah Historical District

The cottage had everything we needed for our short visit to Savannah. We chose to use the free street parking and then walked everywhere. It's close to restaurants and is easy to access the best of the historical district and river district. It has a nice kitchen, comfortable bed and washer/dryer.

Quiet and peaceful

We loved our stay at the jingle bells cottage. The directions for check-in were clear and precise. We found the house to be clean and beautiful! The perfect mix of old and new with the old flooring and fireplace, but an updated kitchen and bathroom. The parking space is small, but with the recommendation from the property manager, we unpacked before we parked. We were grateful to not have to pay to park or park on the street. The small touches, like dvds to watch that were filmed in Savannah (Forrest gump!) and having popcorn bowls available in the cabinets were not missed! Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home!

Quaint & Clean

Adorable little cottage! Great combination of historical structure and modern conveniences. Very clean, comfortable beds (the pull out couch with inflatable air mattress was very comfy). Close to the historic area, short walk straight down Price St to the Pirate House. Only 15 minute walk to Forsyth Park. Great location! Our 2 and 4 year old thought the cottage was wonderful! The parking spot is very narrow, but we emptied out vehicle first then backed in and didn’t move it until we were ready to leave. We drove a Chevy Silverado with 4 door Crew cab. Once parked, the only door accessible was the driver side. We could access the truck bed from the garden gate though, so it worked out well. We would definitely recommend and stay again.

Great little cottage

What a cozy little cottage! Host was so nice and even came to check on us to see how we were doing and give us recommendations on where to go. We had enough room for 4 adults. In a great area and walking distance from everything. The parking spot is very tight but we made it! We drove a Highlander anything bigger would not fit. Would definitely stay here again!!!!

A quiet getaway

This was the perfect little cottage for our vacay. It's located not too far from Riverstreet & just minutes from the park. Everything was there for us to use during the stay. They even gave superb restaurant recommendations. I was very happy with this visit & plan on using the Beach Institute again!

About the host

Hosted by Owner

Host profile image
We are a nearing-retirement age couple from Philadelphia with backgrounds in fine arts and restoration, an appreciation for eccentricity, and a limited amount of patience for shoveling snow - so Savannah is perfect for us.

Why they chose this property

When our son was clever enough to pass up the blustery New York area where he was born and enrolled in the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) in animation in 2004 we began thinking about escaping ourselves - at least for visits. He graduated in 2008 and has moved on to other challenges but we continue to be fascinated by Savannah, one of the most magical cities in the US.

What makes this property unique

For short and longer term visits we have stayed in quite a few Savannah hotels and a dozen or so furnished vacation rentals, so we have a good idea of what we want to find to make us comfortable, which has guided us in renovating and furnishing this cottage.
