Best of Both Worlds

We loved the convenience of being less than 15 minutes away from downtown Savannah and 25 minutes away from Tybee. Some reviews mention that area around the home is not desirable - that was not our experience. House is well equipped and is seriously massive. Host was very responsive. We encountered a few hiccups, which were addressed with the host directly and they handled them graciously. We enjoyed our time, thank you.

House was awesome, mattresses were not

The owners and management company were VERY responsive. When we arrived the grill was not on site. We called to advise of the issue and within an hour the owner showed up with a brand new grill and charcoal. No way we could have asked for better service.

Good Times..

The house is amazing! It was clean and roomy with a decent location. My only suggestions would be as follows for the owners:1. Update pots/pans currently with the scratched bottoms they are a health concern. We went an purchase a few since the non-stick was all scratched up.2. Get real shades- I want the safety of knowing that everyone can not see in.Positives:Fully stocked with cleaning supplies, trash bags and other necessities. We would totally rent again.

Great House for a group

The house was awesome. There was plenty of space for the 8 guys we had there. Unfortunately, we didn't have power when we arrived. The host had emailed that morning, but I missed it because I don't check my email when I drive. It was fixed within a couple hours fortunately. I had also planned to grill out the night we got there, because the listing showed a grill, but the grill was in terrible condition, and rusted out so we weren't able to use it. If I had known, I would have brought my own grill. Overall it was a good experience, and I would go back.

St. Party girls trip

Just feed back from all guest. The guest bathroom on the main level shower was dirty moldy. The beds are low to the ground. There’s dust behind the beds. Someone slept on the couch and she was the only one who was ate up with bugs, not bed bugs but probably dust mites. The garage bedroom had a horrible smell to it, we just got a candle to somehow try to cover the smell. That didn’t work the entire kitchen sink in the garage bedroom suddenly flooded the most of the floor and it was sewer water. Seems the floors have always had some form or water damage. There weee dead bugs in the garage bedroom and so much dirt and dust behind the beds . The house just needs some loving touches and upgrades and cleaning but the bed in the garage was comfortable, the other young ladies all said their beds were comfortable. The house is big and in a quiet neighborhood. If we didn’t experience the sewer water and the horrible smell from it we would have rented agains. The landlord was responsive however a little condescending with her responses when there was an issue. We expressed the smell was very bad and loud. I said we will just burn a candle and just hours later the entire kitchen in garage flooded and the smell was worse. So she seemed bothered when I went to VRBO instead. For me it seems like this has happened before the flooring looks bubbled up as it look like there’s a water issue water damage sewer issue plumbing issues. The garage full of random items but we did rides the bikes

NOT AS PICTURED!

We rented this for 7 women for a girls weekend close to Savannah. We arrived to a house that does not look like the pictures. The neighborhood is run down. The fence has barbed wire on top of it. There is a shack next door that had an old trampoline, Christmas tree, trash, old lawn chairs and numerous other things all in the yard. The house itself had holes in the bathroom, chipping paint in the shower and black marker writing on the walls to go downstairs to the basement. The inside had dirty doors, most of the rooms had doorknobs that were falling off the door or paint chipping. The outside area was dirty with old porch furniture and cushions, hoses all over the yard, an old couch on the side of the house, a used charcoal bag on the ground and dirty folding table against the wall. One of the extra rooms you had to go through the garage to access it and the garage had trash, paint buckets, fishing poles, boxes, couch cushions, bottles of laundry detergent, and other trash. The outdoor area had debris and leaves all over and the landscaping was AWFUL & not taken care of. The owner laughed when i told them about the hole in the wall, black marker, etc. (which we have pictures of everything as proof!). She sent someone to “help” with the dirty wall, holes & doors but by this time we had decided we were not staying here. We booked somewhere else last minute & lost all the money on this place. The owner did not work with us to even refund the cleaning fee! DO NOT BOOK THIS HOUSE!

A perfect weekend visiting Savannah

My friends and I had such a lovely time spending 4 days at this beautiful home. It is incredibly spacious, maybe more so than we realized, and clean. It was easy to Uber into Savannah daily and the property is right next to the University. My favorite part was the common spaces, the porch is perfect for sipping coffee, reading books, an afternoon nap…this home totally fits the Savannah charm!! Thank you for an incredible stay!
