About this property

Charming Freestanding Cottage in Historic District

  • Southern Belle Vacation Rentals in Savannah, GA, and Tybee Island, GA provides first-class amenities including access to our exclusive resort-style heated pool located at 19 Silver Avenue, Tybee Island GA. All of our homes are professionally cleaned after each stay and disinfected using a quaternary disinfectant throughout the entire property prior to each new arrival.

    Welcome to CraftSmith Cottage on Charlton, a charming freestanding cottage in Savannah's historic district. Exceptionally quiet, this freestanding private cottage offers many cozy indoor and outdoor nooks to relax while “living like a local.” Enjoy a glass of lemonade on the front porch overlooking a sweet garden of camellia and azalea. Or, dine al fresco in the airy screened porch, which opens to a paved backyard patio and garden.

    Comfortable, serene space

    Recently updated and furnished, the cottage offers serenity in the living room with its stylish, comfortable chairs and couch, Smart TV, local art, and heritage tables made of reclaimed wood. Twin beds in the guest room and a queen bed in the primary suite offer brand-new pillowtop comfort. Beautiful wood floors gleam throughout the home, and sunlight streams through three sides of historic windows in the living room. Vaulted ceilings help the 820-square-foot gem “live large.” A modern galley kitchen includes granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A front-loading washer and dryer are in the spacious dressing area between the primary bedroom and light-filled master bath. The hall bathroom lies across from the guest bedroom and features a pedestal sink and full bath/shower.

    Close to everything

    Unprecedented in downtown Savannah, the CraftSmith Cottage boasts two private parking spots behind the cottage, even though you'll probably find yourself walking everywhere. You're just a few blocks away from author Flannery O'Connor's childhood home, Colonial Cemetery, and the historic St. John the Baptist Cathedral. A leisurely stroll through the leafy squares of Savannah will bring you to a bountiful array of coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques. Return home to the CraftSmith Cottage for elegant comfort and artful style.
