Other Things to Note:

We ask that the space, other guests, and our neighbors are treated with dignity and respect. Please respect the home and its rules. This will help us maintain peace and ensure that all of our guests have a wonderful Savannah Stay!



This is a home with two separate rental spaces. The main home, which you have rented, does not include the studio in the back. Please inquire if you are interested in adding it to your reservation. It will otherwise be rented to other travelers during your stay.



Free parking is found on the front of the property, but please do not block the street, do not park on the grass, and do not block the studio's assigned spot (on the left side when looking at the property).

Please be aware that even though we spray for bugs on a quarterly basis, you might see palmetto bugs, wasps, and other insects during your stay. They usually come out to die, but please do your best to keep them out of the house by keeping the windows and doors shut at all times, only bringing food items to the dining room, and keeping trash in the trash can.
