The Mimosa House can be combined with the two Carriage Houses to create a 5 or 7 bedroom property that can accommodate up to 14 people. Contact us with any questions or to check availability of all three units.

Guests have sole access to the whole carriage house and a balcony overlooking the fenced in garden.

Interaction With Guests
We are always available by text, email, phone, or face-to-face interactions. We love for our guests to be comfortable and feel completely "at home;" therefore we interact with our guests as much or as little as they’d like. There is self-check-in, so you don't have to coordinate meeting us to get the keys. We live in the main house and can help with anything you might need, including sightseeing and restaurant recommendations!

Neighborhood
We are in a wonderful area of mainly historical residential houses mixed with a few businesses. Located one block from the twenty-plus acre Forsyth Park with playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, and many year round festivals including the start of Savannah’s renowned St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

The main house was built in the 1890s. Our quaint street is safe with light foot traffic and friendly neighbors. We have several tasty restaurants within a few blocks and a large grocery store right around the corner. A number of coffee shops, bakeries and a health food stores are all within 1-5 blocks too.

Getting Around
Carriage house is one block away from Forsyth Park and walking distance to all historic Savannah attractions. A trolley stop is two blocks away. River Street and City Market are an easy and beautiful 15 minute walk. Take a different street each time you go and explore the unique character and history of the city.

We are a 25 minute cab ride from Savannah/Hilton Head International airport. Savannah is a wonderfully walkable city; so if you’re arriving by air, a car isn’t necessary.

Other Things to Note
Dogs are welcomed. There is a one time $75 pet fee payable upon arrival.

Perfect for a stay at Forsythe Park

While it's not in the busy touristy area it's right by Forsythe Park and there is a trolly stop there that takes you all over the city. The unit itself is perfection!

Fantastic Location!

We couldn't have asked for a better location. We were only two blocks from Forsyth Park, the trolley stop and park restaurant and only steps from Kroger, which was quite handy. I really liked the dedicated parking so we didn't have to rely on street parking. The balcony was nice, a very quiet place to sit and relax. The place was very clean, all appliances worked and we had everything we needed. We ran into one minor snag and the owner was available in a matter of minutes. Would recommend.

Nice central location

Needed a place for a short stay while attending an event near downtown. The garage did not fit our full size truck but there was plenty of available nearby street parking. Very convenient to grocery shopping, parks, and our event. Felt safe walking our dog in the neighborhood. Unit is up a flight of stairs so we left the heavier things at the bottom. Overall cozy and comfortable.

Great rental, convenient location

This rental worked well for us, it is located just a short walk to Forsyth Park and very close to a grocery store. Interior was clean and appears as listed. Didn’t have much interaction with host because we were set up well and had everything we needed! Only thing to note is that bedrooms are located directly over garages which might not work for a lighter sleeper—if you sleep heavier you wouldn’t even notice!

Savannah

The pull out couch was very hairy and had crumbs and dirt all over it so we didn’t use it as intended assuming it isn’t used often and maybe the cleaning crew wasn’t aware to clean it? and the garage below us was pretty loud when opened and closed but that wasn’t done often. But overall would recommend staying here! The host was very friendly and responsive. Close to the big Central Park and having Kroger RIGHT there was nice especially having a toddler. Great stay for the price

Perfect Location

A perfect Savannah Location - every morning I did a 1 mile walk around Forsyth park with my dog and grabbed a coffee from Collins. We were able to walk to the waterfront in 30 mins. The apartment was a perfect 2 bedroom spot with a small living room and 4 person table. I believe the couch could pull out into a bed. It is an open living-kitchen-dining area so if you used it, you'd be in the center of everything. The 2 person spot on the balcony was nice. It overlooked the owners backyard who we had a nice conversation with - a neighborly interaction. The parking garage fit our Audi q5 nicely with a little extra clearance. Not sure it would have fit if we had our Thule cargo box on. So if you have a massive car, double check with the owners. Otherwise, the parking spot was a dream to have. Krogers is a block away. Super helpful for getting some supplies. Our dog did bark at the pesky squirrel but otherwise was ok with the local noises -- which were not bad at all. Overall, I would and already have recommended this location to a few friends wanting to visit Savannah. A perfect spot if you love to walk everywhere.

Stayed here for a girls trip. The location was great- close to downtown but not right in the middle of everything. Plenty of parking nearby. Very clean and had everything we needed. I would stay here again!

Wonderful Property

We had a great stay! We loved the fact there was off street parking available. Forsyth park is a very short walk where my kids enjoyed the playground. Anything else was a cheap Uber ride away. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed. Would recommend

Great location, decently priced

Overall it's a great location. I would stay there again (so would my gf and that's pretty high praise). There is a grocery store within a block for necessities (which you'll need). I recommend guests bring their own pillows and a roll of paper towels. Other than that, great apartment at the edge of the historic district.

Great Place To Stay

The property is very close to Forsyth Park. There's a Kroger that's really close and convenient and you can walk to several of the historic squares in Savannah. The balcony made a great place to relax after a long day of sight seeing. The cottage was clean and well taken care of. We had a great experience for our first time in Savannah!
