About this property

A perfect home for a traveling couple, this luxurious retreat has a unique layout with seating areas both upstairs and downstairs. The alternating exposed brick and grey wood panel walls give a rustic feel to the industrial decor.

You’ll find everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The first floor has a large couch and TV, a dining table for four, and a half bath tucked away under the staircase. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, beautiful dark cabinets, and a breakfast bar for morning musings.

Upstairs is a spacious primary suite with a king sized bed and sitting area. The balcony off of the bedroom is perfect for catching a sunset, having a cup of coffee, or reading a book. The bathroom has an open shower with built-in seating and a large vanity with plenty of room to get ready for an evening on the town.

You’ll be just a quick walk from Mrs. Wilkes Dining House on Jones Street, where you’ll find some of the best Southern home cooking in the city. Take a leisurely morning stroll through Forsyth Park to people watch while having coffee at the Sentient Bean, and don’t forget to check their upcoming events for live music and theatrical performances!

Spring Getaway

Charming carriage house in convient location to walk/visit Savannah sites. Check in was a bit challenging at night due to poor entry way to the house with unven brick and stepping stone lined walkway. Once settled everything was perfect with modern appliances/updates in historic house.

nice, quiet spot for a couple with no kids

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: we've stayed in various rentals throughout savannah trying to find the place we want to keep returning to. this one almost fit the bill as it was in an excellent location with ample parking and was relatively quiet. bonus for not having to worry about hearing other people clomping around at all hours of the day since this is it's own stand alone property. the only blemish in our stay was the shower situation. the shower upstairs was an exercise in frustration in that we never got it to work. fortunately there is a shower downstairs too but it's one of those rain showers that are pretty in theory but ridiculous in practice. but if you don't mind that type of shower, then i'd highly recommend staying here! maybe by the time you stay here, they'll have fixed whatever chaos is happening with the upstairs shower!

Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay with Lucky Savannah. The pictures and descriptions of the rental were accurate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Loved being within walking distance or a short drive of local shops and restaurants. They were very accommodating and responded to our needs in a timely manner… they brought us additional towels and even a can opener per our requests. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and dish ware, glass ware, cooking ware, etc. The premise were very clean and we felt very safe Throughout our stay. Thank you for making our 26th Anniversary a memorable one.. Yes, we would recommend this rental to couples visiting the Savannah area.

Lovely hidden gem!

This place exceeded our expectations! I loved how quiet and intimate it was! It felt like we were walking through a secret garden each time we came back or left. We would absolutely reserve this place again! It is conveniently located to everything! The place was clean, well decorated, and had modern amenities while still embracing the historical charm! The only critique I would give is the need for a washer and dryer, that would have made it perfect! We'll definitely be back!!

Comfortable, close to Forsyth Park

Less than a block from Forsyth, Dot (free city bus) stop literally a few steps from the door. Rental has two full bathrooms, comfy couch with cable TV and full kitchen. Only downsides are poor lighting from outer gate to front door (cellphone flashlight was helpful) and limited cookware available in kitchen (no frying pan).

Charming Carriage House in Great Location

The carriage house embodies the charm and uniqueness of Savannah. We loved having the little courtyard. The space was perfect for two people. Our only complaint was the lack of handles on the inside of the sliding bathroom doors. Other than that, we were very happy. The location is right at the edge of Forsyth Park and in the historic district. We were easily able to find parking on the street but also walked everywhere.

Good location terrible property maintenance

Property is in a nice location. That's literally the only good thing about it. Kitchen was filthy. It's clear the cleaning crews do the most basic of wipe downs. The fridge and stove had stains all over them, the coffee maker basket had never been cleaned in its life. We washed all the dishes prior to first use as some still had food stuck to them. Overall cleanliness of the property was well below even the level of the most budget of hotel chains. House had ants on both floors. We woke up the first morning and found ants even in our toothbrushes. It rained every day during our stay and it's clear the property manager doesn't do any building maintenance. The double doors on both the main level and 2nd floor leaked badly leaving pools of water under them and running down the walls to pool at the base of the stairs. There is also a roof leak that was evident based off the water coming from the light fixture in the shower. The only reason we didn't leave was the fact that we had so many excursions planned in the city that we were only in the property to sleep. It's only redeeming quality was the fact that it's located very centrally in the historic district. 1000000% do not recommend. Renters beware.

Peaceful Retreat with Everything We Needed

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: This rental was perfect! It was roomy and cozy, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nights were quiet, bed was extremely comfortable, showers were clean, and air conditioners on both floors were quiet and worked well. The courtyard and balcony were beautiful places to enjoy a cup of coffee or eat dinner leftovers. Forsyth Park was a block away so we visited often to enjoy a view of the fountain, the Sunday Farmers Market, and receive palm roses from street vender, Will. We felt safe because someone was always around walking their dog or jogging. Location is across the street from the Mercer Williams House Museum, a few blocks from great coffee - Origin Coffee Bar, best coffee I ever had! and the Sentient Bean. We walked most of the time, used free DOT bus and free ferry, and Uber to places farther away like Tybee Beach. Highly recommend this rental for a relaxing and memorable stay in Savannah!

It was our first time visiting Savannah and it was recommended to stay downtown, close to everything. The location of this property was decent to be able to walk around town. It’s a cute space.

Unless you don’t have kids , don’t stay here

Lucky vacation was great, the location wasn’t. Unless yout don’t have kids, don’t stay here. You have to walk everywhere. You have to pay to park multiple times a day for either street or garage parking. The keys wouldn’t work for the gate or the house and had to be re-keyed. Outlets didn’t work. You have “cable” but it’s 5 channels. The doors to the bathrooms are an awful design, no real privacy. No blinds for the glass doors. The old lady in the court yard stares into the house, constantly. I would not stay here again. Over priced and just a handful of problems!

40th Anniversary

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: My wife and I planned to spend our 40th anniversary in Savannah. After reading several reviews online we decided on 443 Whitaker Lane. The area was perfect, one block from Forsyth Park and really close to many of the Historic homes. We found the property without issue. Entering through the gate (had to jiggle the key) entering the courtyard was really nice (area with the patio above was nice in the rain) The apartment was directly on our left but required following the path around to the entry door. (Again jiggle the key) the apartment was really nice and had that new old theme down pat. Upstairs large bedroom and bath were really nice and the kin size bed was the most comfortable we have had while traveling. Although there were manors that shared the courtyard (we saw them at a distance),really the apartment was like our own private getaway. We sat on the upstairs balcony in the mornings and had coffee while enjoying the treetop view of the courtyard, the street and the breeze. The AC was a little loud but not terrible (most mini split units seem to have fan noise) and did keep our room comfortable. We cooked our breakfast every morning and the kitchen seemed well stocked. Overall we had a wonderful trip and look forward to our return to Savannah and hopefully Whitaker Street next year.
