    The property host was quick to respond and the cottage was well stocked. The chairs on the covered porch were perfect for our morning coffee. The location was perfect with everything we planned to do in walking distance.

    My wife and I spent our wedding anniversary at this lovely cottage and what a great decision it was. If you can believe it, the house is even more charming than the pictures. We spent our mornings drinking coffee on the porch and evenings having a pre-dinner drink there as well. The interior is spacious, clean and very comfortable. I didn't take any pictures inside, but rest assured, the photos in the listing are very accurate. And the location is great. You're right on a very peaceful square and literally a 15-20 minute walk from anywhere you want to go in the historic district and downtown. We walked almost everywhere and really got to see all this beautiful city has to offer. But perhaps the best part of the home is the owners. Leading up to our stay, anytime I had a question I got an answer within minutes. And during the stay it was the same. We couldn't find a lighter in the house to light a candle on the porch at night. I told them it wasn't a big deal, but before you know it, they had dropped one off for us. And we arrived very late at night so they left a lot of lights on and snacks knowing that nothing would be open if we were hungry. Amazing owners, amazing house and an amazing city. if/when we return to Savannah we will definitely stay there and I highly recommend you do too!

    **5 Stars – A Perfect Stay in Savannah!**We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this quaint, old-world-charmed home in Savannah! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how *spotlessly clean* everything was — we wore white socks and they were never dirty. Every room was well-maintained and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout that made our stay extra comfortable.The home was filled with *every amenity we could have asked for* — a fully stocked kitchen, plush towels, comfortable beds, fast WiFi, smart TVs, and even small extras like board games and local guidebooks, popcorn and even hot cocoa for the kiddos. You can tell the owners have put a lot of care into making sure guests feel right at home.Speaking of the owners, they were *absolutely amazing* — warm, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure our stay was perfect. They offered great local tips and were always just a quick message away if we had any questions.We can’t recommend this place enough — it was the perfect home base for exploring beautiful Savannah, and we’ll definitely be coming back!

    We spent a week in Savannah, the house was excellent. I really like the front porch. We spent our mornings out there having some coffee. The house is with walking distance to downtown, and all the sites.The house furnishings were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need. Bathrooms were well supplied. It is a very cute house. We had a great time, and would rent it again.

    This was our first time visiting Savannah and we couldn’t have found a better place to stay. Greene Square is lovely. Part of the selling point of the property for us was the back yard area, but we spent all of our outdoor time on the front porch. Plenty of shopping and restaurants within walking distance - be sure to get the crab cakes at 1790 (we had them twice). The guys were thrilled to stumble on the military museum around the corner which we probably wouldn’t have found if we had stayed in another part of town. Parking was easy. Victor was quick to respond and super helpful and accommodating in every way. We loved Savannah and loved this house and will definitely stay again!

    My husband and I spent a few days in Savannah to visit with our youngest child. This adorable old cottage was so welcoming. We enjoyed feeing at home and relaxing as we watched a whole different world go by from the big beautiful windows. The neighborhood is gorgeous. The location is wonderful, an easy walk to enjoy food and shopping on Broughton and River St. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay here again and again!

    The cottage is perfectly located across from Greene Square. It's a quiet, safe area, but a short walk to anywhere you want to go. Every evening before dinner, I enjoyed a glass of wine on the front porch. It's fun to sit outside and watch the horse drawn carriages clopping along. The cottage is clean, comfortable and roomy. Tastefully furnished, with plenty of soft towels. Beds were comfortable. The host was quick to respond when I had a question. Parking directly in front of the cottage was always available. For future visits, I will check availability here first. It was perfect for our needs. host kindly sent a ton of valuable information p

    We enjoyed our stay here. It’s nice not to have a big mgt company managing the property. I have stayed at others like that in Savannah and the difference shows. This house is clean and it’s easy … VERY easy …to get in touch with the owner. Parking is available on the street all the time which is nice. Book it!!!
