Welcome to the Historic Dickerson House

Step into Savannah's rich maritime history at the Dickerson House, the former residence of Captain Henry James Dickerson, a prominent 19th-century sea captain and entrepreneur. Born in Maryland and drawn to Savannah's bustling harbor at the age of 19, Captain Dickerson rose from sailor to ship owner, building a fleet of vessels that played a vital role in the city's commerce and wartime efforts. His legacy lives on in this beautifully preserved home, situated at the vibrant corner of York and Abercorn Streets.

This stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers the perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Located directly on Savannah’s renowned St. Patrick’s Day Parade route, the Dickerson House provides front-row seats to one of the city's most cherished traditions. From here, you’re just steps away from Savannah’s finest dining, nightlife, and cultural landmarks—no car required.

Inside, you’ll find two spacious king bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with a convenient half bath nearby. Luxury bedding, thoughtfully curated furnishings, and a private outdoor patio overlooking historic Abercorn Street enhance your stay, offering a tranquil retreat in the heart of the city.

Please note: Guests will need to be able to climb stairs to access the property.

Stay where history meets hospitality and make unforgettable memories at the Dickerson House. Whether you’re here to explore Savannah’s storied past or to enjoy its vibrant present, this extraordinary home is ready to welcome you.

Great stsy

We loved this place. The apartment is beautiful and spacious. The location is perfect for walking all over Savannah. We parked in the garage across the square and didn’t take the car out until we were leaving.

Nice neighborhood and Location

We picked this because of the location and it fit our needs perfectly. We wanted to be close by to the waterfront and shopping and in walking distance to restaurants. The unit is spacious with high ceilings and is located on a nice square full of history. We had good luck with parking also.

Thanksgiving.

We had a wonderful time exploring Savannah and visiting with family during the Thanksgiving holidays. Our VRBO was conveniently located to restaurants and in walking distance to sites in the historic district. We would 100% stay again.

Great location and lots of space

This property was perfect for two couples - two large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms plus a really spacious common area. Communication with the host was also fantastic, and the location is great - close to Broughton Street and a lot of landmarks but far enough away from the main drag to be nice and quiet. The balcony overlooking the square is a really neat touch. Our only recommendations are a bit more of a thorough cleaning in the bathrooms and an upgrade to the provided shampoo/conditioner/body wash included in the listing. Our unit had a watered-down shampoo and two conditioners but no body wash. It’s a small detail but one we definitely would have noticed!

Perfect Accommodations for 2 Couples

This place was just as advertised - perfect location and walkable to many sites. Even though we had to use street parking (we purchased a 2 day visitors pass), we were able to find parking nearby.

Great Property and Location

This was a great and quiet location to stay and had a very historical feel to it. Sitting in the living room listening to the horse carriages in the street gave the impression I had traveled back in time! The only thing I was worried about was the parking, but there were plenty of street parking close by and it was cheaper than parking at a hotel. Would stay here again.

Very nice location

Very nice location towards the center of Savannah. It makes for a very good walkable vacation. Just be aware, this location is on the 3rd floor via stairs. Also, master bathroom's shower can be a tight fit to enter if you are a little overweight. Both of these were fine for our group, but won't meet everyone's needs. We would stay here again.

Perfect location off a Savannah Square

As a Savannah native returning to town with friends to show off the city, I could not ask for a more picturesque location. Accommodations were beautiful and the location is perfect for walking nearly anywhere in the historic district. Property owner was easy to communicate with, and we knew they were there in case we needed them! Thanks again for opening your place to us.

Great Stay in Savannah

The location was terrific and the property was a lot bigger then we expected. The spacious unit had great amenities and offered tourist information to help us during our stay. We did not hear back from the Owner with one small issue we had during our stay. Otherwise the property was amazing and we would definitely stay hear again!
