WEEKNIGHT DISCOUNTS! Washington Square: Steps to River Street w/free parking

ASK ABOUT OUR WEEK-NIGHT DISCOUNT - Mon through Thursdays! (excludes holiday weeks)

Located next to Savannah’s picturesque Washington Square, (named for George Washington) The Washington Square Main House is one of Savannah's oldest homes built between1790 and 1810. The award-wining, historically preserved home is a luxury refuge for families and friends looking to relax, unwind and explore Savannah.

This home sat vacant and decaying for YEARS until we bought it in 1992. Miraculously, we were able to retain the vast majority of its original details! The stair case, heart pine floors, windows, fireplaces and mantles are all part of the original home.

No expense was spared on this painstakingly restored, but modernized historic mansion. It is fully outfitted with a gourmet kitchen and island seating for 3. Doors from the kitchen lead to the lush, private courtyard.

The private courtyard features historic terracotta statuettes and lush foliage. Table seating for 8 allows for alfresco meals or evening cocktails. This courtyard is shared with our guests that rent the Carriage House, which is over the garage and behind the courtyard.

Our dining room and sun room are beside the kitchen featuring the original fireplaces and millwork. Guests can lounge in the comfy sun room and appreciate the courtyard views.

The formal living room has comfortable seating and a large smart TV for family gatherings with historically preserved details like the original fireplace - no, we don't allow fires any longer!

On the first floor is the first of four bedrooms with a queen bed tucked into the front window nook. There is a full bathroom beside this bedroom with a large walk-in shower and this bathroom has a entrance from the hallway for all guests to access.

On the second floor you will find the other 3 bedrooms and spacious bathrooms.

The primary bedroom faces Congress Street and with a queen size bed, chaise lounge and a LARGE luxury bathroom! This bathroom has a decorative fireplace, 2 separate vanities, a lovely soaking tub and a walk-in shower. On the other side of this bathroom is a large walk-in closet for the primary guests.

The second bedroom has a King size bed, en-suite bathroom and closet. The airy and sunny bathroom has a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower.

The last, 4th bedroom has TWO charming, TWIN antique maple poster beds and a full e-suite bathroom. These rooms are bright and sunny and this bathroom has a large walk-in shower.

The front porch and entrance of the home has 3 steps approaching the porch. So it is not wheel chair accessible but it may be suitable for some folks with mobility issues, as there is a full bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

Words cannot explain how perfect this house was for our family. The house is cute, clean, and comfortable. The surroundings are breath taking and peaceful. To top it off, the owner is more than accommodating and welcoming. We would highly recommend it, and hope to stay there again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is perfectly located on a quiet road but minutes from all the sights of Savannah. The inside is tastefully done in antiques and perfect for the family reunion we had. All fell in love with the patio and sun room. It was a perfect stay!

Great Historical Home

A great space for our family of 6. Loved the quirks and beauty of the home. Grateful for the space to park in the garage, well equipped kitchen (for our needs), dining space, seating for all of us in the living room, and it was exceptionally clean. We walked EVERYWHERE! Great restaurants and historical sites nearby and close to the river. We are a family of walkers, so this was perfect. The only down side - the bath in the room with the king bed has NO storage (other than the edge around the tub and an 18” shelf) and minimal convenient storage in the bedroom. It was our room, and we made do. Despite this, we would stay again.

Charming, Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this house for my bachelorette party. We had 9 girls, and there was plenty of room for all of us to sleep and, most importantly, get ready! The patio is a great space for happy hour. Location is awesome, too. We used peticabs to get around downtown all weekend, which we all had a lot of fun with. Honestly, the pictures don't do it justice. We were pleasantly surprised when arrived. Couldn't have been a better weekend!

Not baby/toddler friendly

Nice property, just not ideal for little kids. Beautiful weather, able to utilize the courtyard to play. It’s a “grown up” house. Decorated nicely, with large furniture and lovely (breakable) decor. Glad we were out and about most of the weekend. Didn’t enjoy the neighborhood noise- cars playing loud music, motorcycle engines revving; typical city sounds, however, the walls are not very sound proof. The original staircase is lovely but makes a ton of noise , while using, when the whole house is sleeping. Lastly, had a jolting incident with other tenants. After being on the property for a few hours , cleaning up after dinner, tenants of the “Carriage House” walked right into the front door insisting they were the rightful tenants of the main house. It almost got heated and took me quite a while to explain they had rented the “apartment above the garage”, which the owner described as a “Carriage House”. Spoke with the owner after explaining the situation. The owner uses the address of the main house for dir renting the 2 bed apartment. My advice- please refer to that property as “apartment above garage” rather than “Carriage House”. This whole situation would have been avoided if these tenants understood the correct description of the 2 bed property they rented.

8/10 Good

Great location, very nice house, parking & amenities issues.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location of the house is awesome - you can walk to River St. The house was clean. If you have more than one car you need to pay for street parking (big hassle if you have more than 1 car). The bathroom had 1 face and 1 bath soap - a huge problem if you have many people in the house. They should put soap/shampoo in each bath stall. They should put a hair dryer in each bathroom (only one hair dryer was not of good quality). Kitchen needs basic supplies - oil, sugar etc. They had one coffee for one day and we were 7 people for 3 days. We needed 7 beds - 2 beds are in living room and they were a little small. Checkout is at 10PM and we got it extended to 11 (which was still a bit inconvenient but I can understand)

Avoid staying at all costs

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ellie, the head of guest services, verbatim said in an email she sent me, “we wish that you never stayed with us”. As not only a guest but a professional in the hospitality and services industry, I am APPALLED and disturbed to have paid as much as I did to have such condescending, patronizing behavior from the head of guest services herself. If you can find ANYWHERE else to stay, do it. The entire weekend was such a headache, I received six calls from Ellie in the matter of 10 minutes, she was extremely rude both on the phone and in person, and threatened to charge my card on file for “wasting the housekeepers time” though she started cleaning at the time of checkout. I used to live in Savannah, I am extremely accustomed to southern living, hospitality, the whole nine yards. We had an amazing time, the house was beautiful but this experience with the service completely tarnished our trip and the reputation of “luxury southern living”. Y’all, no property is worth the experience I went through with these owners.

Great house for an unforgettable weekend!

We had a girls trip with 8 of us. Everyone flew in and one drove, she was able to park in the garage. We didn’t need to use the car once though, we could walk or take a quick Uber anywhere we needed to go. The house was beautiful, comfy beds, great AC glow and be try nice bathroom setup for 8 women. We had a blast. Our only challenge was the key lockbox at the front door. A few girls had trouble closing it but I think that was more user error. Otherwise, zero complaints! Amazing house and amazing trip!!

Historic home in Washington Sq Savannah

Home is exactly as pictured; historic charm with antique furniture. The dining chairs were very delicate so sit with caution. The beds are beautiful and very comfortable!! The bathrooms are luxurious! The home accommodated 8 adult women and gave us a special sense of the South. Location landed us in all our desired landmarks within 10-15 mins! The furthest walking distance was 30 mins to Forsyth Park. There was several homes in the neighborhood under construction but it did not interfere with our fabulous time!
