Reviewer Comments: The property description was accurate based on the description and it was clean. The rental agency provided excellent customer service. I would recommend this property and did to someone while we were there. I only have a few things that were not a problem but could be addressed. The TV in the main room did not work, the pocket doors could not be closed to separate the bedroom from the main room and the lighting in the first bathroom was very dim. We loved sitting on the front porch and even had a kitty visit. This property was perfect for our girls trip.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was perfect! It was very clean. The location is wonderful and you don't need to use your car if you don't want to. The free trolly stop is just around the corner. Just a short walk to Forsyth park and there is a wonderful coffee shop just a block away. The parking is a bit of a learning curve because of the street sweeping but we didn't have any problems.

Many disappointments - Renter Beware

Not clean, poor layout, appliances not working, no dining area. Cobwebs in corners and visible dirt on molding and flat surfaces. Cheap and flat pillows on poor quality mattresses. No area for eating. Washing machine door seal covered in black mold. Dishwasher left slimy residue on dishes. Property manager came and looked at moldy washing machine, they advised they would try to clean.....

Good, not Great

Went for a long weekend and the listing photos seemed to capture the Savannah charm we were looking for. Overall the house wasn't bad, but not great. The good: great location, just a block off Forsythe Park and walkable to many of the attractions. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and the front porch was our favorite gathering spot with plenty of room for five or six people to sit. The bad: most of the furnishings in the house were not the same as the list photo, particularly in the living room. While it looked similar, it was much more drab than you see in the pics. The living room had a small couch and two chairs, not much seating for a 3 bedroom unit. Also, that is all the seating you have inside the house. There is no place to sit and eat. Out back, there is a small patio table and a grill that is useless. It's tight and very loud as the AC units are also back there. Lastly, the beds have foam mattresses that look like they were pulled from the curb. Not very comfortable after a night or two. In the end, if you're looking for a budget friendly place to crash while seeing Savannah, this may be for you, but if you're looking for a quaint & charming home, keep shopping.

Four Friends Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The living room has less furniture than the photo shows, it has one sofa, no coffee table, and two chairs. There are very few electrical outlets in this house, which limited where we could charge phones and watches. The TV in the living room is old, does not have the most popular streaming apps, the remote needs to be replaced, the select key sticks, and it is difficult to use the remote buttons. There is a Roku remote and it did not work. We had to use the tv in the front bedroom to watch a movie on Prime. The curtain rod for curtain covering the front bedroom closet fell down and hit my friend on her arm, breaking the skin, when the curtain was gently pulled to open the curtain. The water pressure was very low. The first bathroom shower faucet plate was not attached. The second bathroom has rotted wood next to the bathtub. There are only 3 chairs on the porch and we had to use an inside chair on the porch.

The much ignored vacation rental

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were extremely disappointed by this vacation rental having stayed with Lucky Savannah before. Positives: great location, walking distance to Forsyth Park and coffee shops, on a quiet street with plenty of parking and a cute front porch perfect for enjoying the weather or having a cup of coffee in the morning. After that, it’s all negative. First of all there is nowhere to eat in the home- no coffee table no kitchen/dining table. There is one table in the neglected backyard, but it was dirty, and there was glass on the ground. The decor in this rental is a bunch of mismatched furniture that is old and seems to have just been thrown together. The kitchen offered minimal items nothing but salt and pepper, and didn’t even have a cookie sheet. home was clean but door knobs were falling off, cracks in the wall, paint peeling, and everything looked just sort of haphazardly put together

Nice but...

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This location is wonderful! The house has a great front porch with nice furniture to enjoy morning coffee. The inside is historical and intact which is wonderful, but needs work. Nice layout with 3 spacious bedrooms. Adequate kitchen. Lighting is very poor in both bathrooms and much of the furniture is in poor condition being tattered and ripped and not feeling fresh. We also missed having a basic coffee table. This place has potential to be super nice with some furniture upgrades and attention to detail. It didn’t feel crisp and clean because of that. Also the beds are very low, which was fine for us but for an older crowd this could be a big problem getting in and out of bed.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Great location, checking in and out was very simple., parking was not a problem. They had everything we needed for our stay, including a small artificial Christmas tree. My only critique would be the hot water in the shower took a very long time to heat up and did not stay warm for very long.

Savannah Vacation Gem

Overall, our stay was very good. The property is as presented in the images, but I will share a couple of key points I would have found helpful. One of the bedrooms does open to the front sitting room. There are doors to close the room from the rest of the house, but the old pocket doors between the bedroom and sitting room do not close. I also neglected to notice the lack of a dining room table and chairs (note: there is a table and chairs in the pack patio, but not covered from the weather). Admittedly, Savannah is a food town with a tremendous number of really good restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nonetheless, it is still nice to have a dining table, especially since the one bedroom was connected to the sitting area. I was traveling with my 80-year-old mom who has trouble with stairs. Virtually impossible to find a place in Historic Savannah without some stairs. Thankfully, the only stairs for this home are the front steps which were easy enough for her to navigate.

There was plenty of towels, place was cute and clean. Loved the outdoor areas, overall enjoyed our stay! The only suggestion is the front steps could use a rail so people who are older can walk up them safely.

Summer Vacation in Storytime

This vacation in Savannah marked our third trip, my family and I really enjoy staying in the historic district. When booking Storytime, we were familiar with the area and found Storytime quite charming. The parking was really good, the curb appeal was excellent, and the pictures on VRBO well represented the property. When we opened the door, the interior was great, but there was a strong musty smell at the door, but as we went in, it faded. The interior is very charming. My family is a house divided on cow-hide rugs, I thought they were a great touch. We had a couple of issues, no light in one of the bathrooms, and the clothes dryer did not work. We contacted the management company, they promptly sent a maintenance crew to address the issues. The lighting problem was quickly resolved, but the dryer issue was never resolved. I also found that the drapes in the living room covered up the A/C vents and there was little to no airflow in that room or entry area. We moved the drapes off the vents and the musty odor was barely noticeable toward the end of the visit. If it were not for the musty smell and the dryer issue, my visit would be 5-star.
