History Galore! Secluded Carriage House : Private Porch : Superb Walking Locale

SVR-00084 | City of Savannah Short-Term Vacation Rental Certificate

Stay in your very own historic retreat! The phenomenal ambience of this circa1852 Savannah carriage house will be be remembered long after your vacation (or weekend getaway) has ended.

This is an ideal location in the center of the Historic District! A block north of Forsyth Park and just one block off of Bull Street which is the center of downtown! Walk to everything from here. Less than a mile to River Street.

Two stories with a King bed upstairs and a Full-size pullout sofa bed in the living room downstairs. A cute and petite, fully equipped kitchen with brick walls is on the first floor by the living room. A bathroom with pedestal sink, granite tiled floors, and shower is located upstairs by the bedroom adjacent to a separate dressing room. Best of all, a private upper porch/balcony accessed from the bedroom and overlooking the courtyard is yours to enjoy.

This charming two-story Carriage House is located within a gated courtyard in the rear of one of Savannah’s noted “Gordon Row” townhomes circa early 1850’s. With access from a gated entrance, this stylish two-story 1BR/1BA apartment has an almost ‘loft-like’ feel. The living room has an open floor plan as does the bedroom on the upper level.

A laundry room with coin-operated washer and dryer is available on site shared between the 5 total rental units in the building. The Carriage House overlooks the bricked and landscaped courtyard shared between the year-round residents and guest at this classic Savannah estate.

Note: If your selected travel dates are not available for the Carriage House, check-out our neighboring vacation rental listings for the 1BR/1BA Garden Apartment located on the ground level of the main house (see VRBO listing ID #675593) or the larger 1BR/1BA Parlor Apartment located on the 2nd level/parlor level of the main home (see VRBO listing ID #815634). We also own several larger homes in the Historic District that are offered as vacation rentals, so please inquire if you need a larger space.

-Parking is free on weekends! No charge for metered parking (and no pass needed) from Friday at 5pm until Monday at 8am.

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.

Super cute and great location!
Small and cozy, perfect for 2 people. My husband and I really enjoyed staying here and became comfortable very easily. Nice welcoming touches, plenty of soap, tissue, towels, coffee, etc that many other rentals don’t offer. We really loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings drinking our coffee. My son lives in the area and wanted to stay with us so he was relegated to the pull-out couch and it was horrible (as most are). Luckily we had brought an air mattress because, let’s be honest, most pull-outs are not comfortable. Street parking was easy, just pay attention to the street sweeping signs as it’s different nights on each side of the road. Easy communication with the owners. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Savannah Carriage House
A delightful cozy comfortable stay with all the amenities ...a short 20 minute stroll to beautiful famous squares or dining and shopping. We had bikes and used quiet streets to get to River district and City Market. Beautiful area! The private porch overlooking the courtyard with its distinct photo ops was a favorite morning and evening retreat. Carmen very responsive before and after arrival to answer our questions. Interesting history behind these gates. Loved this stay!

Wonderful Spot
This was such a peaceful, quiet spot to stay at. Wonderfully clean, cozy, and had everything one could possibly need. Close to so much downtown as well. The check-in process was smooth and the hosts were quick to answer any questions and reach out to us. Thank you!

Historic Savannah location
Super comfortable king bed...small private balcony...fast internet.... historic and quiet location. And the accessible and friendly owners made our Savannah stay pleasant. Keep in mind this is an old building, which is part of the charm. Bathroom and kitchen are tiny but how much time will you spend in them...enjoy Savannah's great restaurant scene and walking around the gorgeous local squares.

Excellent stay!!!
Megan and I loved our time at the Carriage House. Extra bonus of being a mere few steps away from Forsyth Park. Carmen and Jon are superb hosts and the Carriage House had everything we needed and was very clean. It is also within walking distance of just about everywhere in Savannah. I would highly recommend this place and would most definitely stay here again.

Excellent location to explore.
Excellent location with thoughtful touches by the owner. Small shower but not a big deal. Easy to get around the historic district using the Dot buses. May want to consider adding blackout curtains to block the light from the lights in the alley. Otherwise, just wonderful.
