Stayed here to drop my daughter at SCAD for her freshman year. Great little historic place only a mile away from campus. We were personally welcomed by the owners, who are very hospitable. We will stay here again!

Charming Garden Apartment
We had a lovely stay, and Carmen was a tremendously gracious host. The apartment is located just a couple blocks north of Forsyth Park, a couple blocks south of Mrs. Wilkes' Boarding House (the best Southern food you will ever have), and within a fifteen-minute walk of just about everywhere in the historic district. The apartment is quaint and charming, with a wonderful courtyard patio perfect for sipping wine or coffee.

About the host

Hosted by Jon and Carmen

Host profile image
Savannah is our passion. We have a love of her history, her architecture, her people, culture, and lifestyle. We have lived in Downtown Savannah for over 20 years transforming ourselves from renters, to homeowners, to full-time property managers to the more than a dozen historic properties we have been so fortunate to preserve. We have rented a number of our properties over the years to countless corporate and vacationing travelers. We are excited in 2015 to now be part of the Homeaway/VRBO family to be able to serve you, our guest, every step of the way from initial rental inquiry about our home to completion of your Savannah stay. We look forward to sharing our passion for Savannah and historic homes with you.

Why they chose this property

From the moment you open the gate to enter the grounds of this ideal downtown address, built around 1852, you will be transported back in time. This is not just a place to stay, it is an experience to remember. The Garden Apartment is 'quintessential' Savannah. We are not ashamed of the historic character 'she' has earned, but instead covet it. We can't walk into a store and buy the ambience that this space naturally radiates.

Aside from the unique charm of the Garden Apartment, the prime location is what vacationers are looking for - just walk out the door and be in the middle of the 'tourist attractions' of downtown Savannah. Lucky for us the tourist attractions are mainly beautiful outdoor areas like Forsyth Park (one block south of this house); the gorgeous Squares throughout downtown; and the standout architecture and history found at almost every building you walk past.

What makes this property unique

There's just something special about this charming garden apartment. We have always considered this apartment our favorite rental unit! Cozy, quaint, rustic and comfortable, this apartment serves as a fantastic getaway from Savannah's bustling downtown.
