SVR-01126 | City of Savannah Short-Term Vacation Rental Certificate

The Parlor Apartment is located on the second level of our circa 1852 historic townhome with impressive ironwork located on Gordon Row, the longest continuous row of townhomes in the Landmark Historic District. We take pleasure in offering a genuine, unpretentious or 'cookie-cutter' rental, catering to guests looking for the unique charm and history that Savannah is so well known for. While The Parlor Apartment's kitchen and bathroom are modest, The Parlor is uniquely furnished to offer a combination of comfort and sophistication to create a distinctive and remarkable experience for your Savannah getaway.

Parlor Summary:
-Large living room / dining room with 48" large screen TV with cable and DVD player
-Sunroom with writing desk and seating with brick-lined walls
-Spacious 'Parlor' bedroom with King bed, cable TV, vanity, and seating area
-Semi-private deck with bistro set with access to our small gated brick courtyard
-Modest kitchen with full size gas stove and freezer/fridge. Country-cupboard well stocked with all kitchen cookware and dishware, cooking and eating utensils, coffee maker, toaster, and blender.

This is an ideal location in the center of the Historic District! A block north of Forsyth Park and just one-half block west of Bull Street which is the center of downtown! Two of Savannah's beautiful squares are a stone's throw away out the front door. Walk to everything 'touristy' from here. Less than a mile to River Street.

We are very attentive and hospitable owners. Please inquire with any questions. Note: If your selected travel dates are not available for The Parlor Apartment, visit our 'sister' vacation rental listings for the 1BR/1BA Garden Apartment located on the ground level of the main house (see listing ID at www.vrbo.com/675593) or for the more secluded 1BR/1BA Carriage House (listing ID at www.vrbo.com/675591).

Communication was superior
Carmen went out of her way to communicate with us about possible COVID-19 shut downs. Her place was clean, sanitized, and exactly as advertised. You were able to walk to all 22 squares, the river, and major cemeteries with East. It was a beautiful stay and a beautiful soul who owns that place. Thank you Carmen for a great stay

Great location, excellent value
My husband and I just spent a week at this property, and it met or exceeded our expectations in every respect. Carmen was great to work with, and the location was perfect. Quiet neighborhood but still close (15 min walk or less) to the entertainment, dining, and shopping areas. Kitchen is small, per photos, but it had everything we needed. Very efficient use of storage space. Bed quite comfortable. Porch area felt fairly private, we sat out there a lot. I was a little concerned about parking, but it was not a problem at all. We parked on the street the entire time, right in front of the unit, and Savannah’s online parking app (highly recommend) made the whole thing quite painless. We will stay there again.

Pretty, clean and comfortable
What a find! This gem suited our needs perfectly: spacious, charming, and perfectly located. At first it seemed it might be tough to sleep as street voices were quite audible from the bedroom BUT it turns out there was no pedestrian traffic at night- very quiet. The owners were communicative and helpful, and the small touches- holiday decor, fresh coffee and sugar, Savannah reading- were appreciated. Parking was not an issue as the property is walking distance to all the sites and tastes we wanted to indulge in. We'll stay there again when next in town.

My sister and I travel to Savannah frequently and this is our favorite property. Perfect all the way around! But you cant go wrong with anything on Gordon Street, or any property with Carmen as owner/manager.

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. While we have rented a number of our properties over many years to countless corporate and vacationing travelers, we joined the Homeaway/VRBO family in 2015 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

We are simply enthralled with the historic architecture and the stories of people and places that these magnificent homes in Downtown Savannah tell. Any home that has age and history instantly earns my respect. Like a great mystery or detective novel, I love to imagine and discover details in each of our properties...what hands laid the brick, forged the iron...whose footsteps have paced the floors and climbed the steps? With every passing day we become part of the home's history and have an opportunity to preserve, share, and create a story to tell of generations of old for generations to come.

What makes this property unique

The Parlor Apartment is filled with personality. Unique furnishings and decor with several sitting arrangements to relax and reflect on your day of exploring Savannah during the waking hours and resting soundly in the glamorous bed at night dreaming of the day to come.
