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.

Had a great time
My husband and I visited for our anniversary. We wanted a quiet and relaxed time away and we chose to take in the beauty of Savannah. The place was just an extension of the beauty. Everything was clean with plenty of clean linen. Cameron provided plenty of instruction and was available for any need. The place is about a 5 minute drive from downtown or a 15 minute walk. It was close enough to savannah night life but still far away enough to enjoy some peace and quiet. The bed was very comfortable and everything was nice. Checking in and checking out was simple. We had a great stay.

Enchanted!
This place is like stepping back in time, and you can feel it in your bones that this will be no ordinary experience. For our first trip to Savannah I cannot imagine a more ideal and perfect location to stay! Savannah is a magical place to visit, and this eclectic adorable little garden apartment is the cherry on top! Had great communication with the owner, and we highly recommend this place to stay!! ❤️

Cozy, comfy and cute!
We loved our stay at this charming apartment! We parked our car and Ubered or walked everywhere. Everything was spotless and the kitchen was well equipped. Carmen was super helpful and kind. The only thing we would ask for is hooks or a bar for hanging up towels in the bathroom.

Great location, nice owners, comfortable home
We visited Savannah so I could run in a half marathon. The main reason I chose this home was due to its fantastic location and proximity to the start and finish line at Forsyth Park. The property owners were extremely easy to work with and gave detailed check-in directions and were easy to get ahold of. We had our toddler son with us and the listing notes it is not childproof, and this is true, so we were just careful and honestly didn’t spend a ton of time at home during the day anyway. It was a tad challenging corralling him since there wasn’t a door to separate the bedroom and living area but other than than slight inconvenience, everything else was great and easy. I would definitely recommend this home for couples, girls trips, or for a rested and relaxed weekend. The location truly can’t be beat.
