About this property

Historic Home Overlooking Emmet Park! | Heated Pool Access | By Southern Belle Savannah

Offering room for 12 in a dreamlike setting, Spanish Moss Inn delights with old-world touches combined with modern comforts! This five-bedroom home offers a high-end retreat space that pampers the senses with stunning architecture, beautiful décor and a picture-perfect front porch. The home also comes with exclusive access to a private, heated pool located nearby in beautiful Tybee Island! While enjoying the outdoor space of Spanish Moss Inn, you can enjoy views of Bay Street from your own front porch. Glimpses of the Savannah River and Emmet Park are also visible. Spanish Moss Inn is a home with a fascinating history. Originally built in a different location on the corner of Jefferson and Hull in 1808, the home was relocated to its current location at Bay and Price in 1968. When you arrive at the rental for your stay, take a moment to look for the numbers etched into the home's exposed beams to see the placement markers used by architects when reconstructing the home. There's simply no comparison between this home and other Savannah vacation rentals if you're dreaming of spending some time in a Southern estate by the river!

Welcome to Spanish Moss Inn: A Look Inside One of the Most Captivating Savannah Vacation Homes

Take a minute to soak in a large front porch accented by classic touches like black shutters, potted plants and ceiling fans that scatter the breeze. The porch leads you inside to an elegant, oversized foyer that truly belongs in a movie! Next, it's time to step inside one of the most stunning Savannah vacation homes to take in views of a breathtaking living room featuring tall windows, built-in shelving, intricate crown molding and a grand fireplace. Next, the dining room beckons with its elongated dining table for eight, crystal chandelier and grand fireplace.

Bringing things to a more casual level, the home's kitchen is all that you could ever dream of when designing a functional, high-end place to handle meals and snacks. This large kitchen is overflowing with countertops and cabinets. In addition to a beautiful gas stove with stainless-steel hood, you'll enjoy a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. All of your cooking essentials are waiting inside the kitchen. There's also a large walk-in pantry situated just off of the kitchen that features storage, a utility sink and an auxiliary refrigerator.

It's now time to enter what many would consider to be the highlight of the home! Spanish Moss Inn features a beautiful glassed-in sunroom that is fully furnished with a dining table, hutch and extra seating. This portion of the home leads directly to your private courtyard that is peppered with umbrella-topped patio tables. Plan a little cookout any day of the week using your private outdoor grill.

The bedrooms of Spanish Moss Inn are easily the most impressive "suites" found in any Savannah vacation rentals. Every single bedroom in this home features a king-sized bed with access to its own private full-sized bathroom! Every aspect of the home's bedrooms and bathrooms will delight you with the quality and attention to detail you're observing! No expense has been spared when decorating these bedrooms with large, high-end furnishings that provide space for storage and relaxation. The bathrooms feature touches like high-end, marble-topped vanities, beautiful tiles and oversized showers or tubs. In addition to the five full bathrooms accompanying the bedrooms, a half bathroom is located off of the home's main living area. The home also has its own washer-dryer setup.

While this home may have a rich, fascinating history going back two centuries, you can rest assured that it will fit all of your modern tastes in terms of amenities and technology! Guests enjoy air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and flat-panel televisions. Touches like keypad entry, ample outdoor lighting and off-street parking for one vehicle make entering and exiting this rental property a breeze for guests. Prior to your arrival, the home will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in anticipation of your stay. Finally, Spanish Moss Inn comes with free access to a resort-style heated pool located at 19 Silver Avenue in Tybee Island. Located just 30 minutes away by car, Tybee offers an amazing spot to visit if you'd like to swap city views for beach views for the afternoon!

Things to Do When Staying at Spanish Moss Inn in Savannah

The amazing location of Spanish Moss Inn makes this home one of the vacation rentals Savannah GA visitors who want to feel connected to the city from their own front porch should not miss! During your stay, be sure to put spots like Forsyth Park, the Mercer-Williams House Museum, the Savannah Historic District, River Street, City Market and the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens on your list of places to visit! Savannah is filled with amazing restaurants, shopping, live music and exhibits. It is also known for its city ghost tours, haunted cemetery walks and fun pub crawls. Of course, keeping a loose itinerary allows Savannah tourists to enjoy the simple pleasures of admiring ornate front porches, chasing down magical water fountains or following floating jazz notes to little clubs by the river. Spanish Moss is one of the vacation rentals Savannah GA visitors looking to soak in a truly historic experience will love!

Club 57

In our family there were five (5) cousins born the same year. We celebrate vacations together with our spouses at various destinations. This year we met in Savannah, Georgia. We stayed at the Spanish Moss House on E Bay Street. The house is well equipped for dining in, a patio with bistro tables on the back of the house, a front porch for people watching, a short walk to River Street and accommodations for five couples to be very comfortable.This historic home is roomy and comfortable, and the decor is fitting for the era of the home.Robinson Family

In for awedding

We came for a family wedding. The home was walking distance from the venue and nearby shops and restaurants. It is nice to have a place to stay that still provides each person the privacy they would not have at a hotel without several rooms. We were very happy with our stay.

Property is so conveniently located to River St. that you can walk everywhere. Once we parked the car in the garage we did not get back in it until we left Savannah. The house is beautiful and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked. Would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

I would rent this home again.

For being the age that the house is, it was in pretty good condition. Everyone that stayed in the house during our vacation loved the home and looked up some of the history on it since it was actually moved from another location in Savannah. We plan to rent the house again in the future.

Wonderful house in an excellent location!

Our group of seven women who met MANY years ago but now live in states from Alaska to Florida normally have a difficult time finding a house like this. This home is exceptional because it has: 5 bedrooms, each with a beautiful king bed and a bathroom, a garage to save hassles of parking, a sun room and backyard terrace, a super front porch from which to observe historic Savannah, a responsive host team, and best of all, AN EXCELLENT LOCATION!!!

Awesome stay!

We loved this house for our girls weekend in Savannah. The location was perfect, walkable to almost everywhere we wanted to go. It was very spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed its historic vibes. The only negative was the critter living in the house. We could hear it running around and it also got into a package of toilet paper in the middle of the night.

Great Place for a group Bachelorette Trip

This was a great place to stay with a large group. We had a lot of space to move about for the different activities that we had planned. On top of that, we didn't have to Uber to any of our locations around Savannah. Our longest walk was 12 minutes and the area is cute to walk around. It was a great bonus to get to stay in such an old and historic house!

Great location

The location was great and I loved the king beds. Outdoor setup was also really nice along with plenty of space. The upstairs bedroom was warm even with the AC. Getting in was very easy and the check out process was very quick with minimal lift (no stripping beds, loading washing machine, garbage bin effort, etc.). It was a bit musty upon arrival but I think it is just the nature of the old house. Overall it is a great spot to stay if you are looking to explore Savannah with a group of people.

Great property

Location is amazing. History of house is amazing. Was able to see large ships from front porch. Only real negatives are the in room portable AC units and the community pool. Hard to install AC ducts in a historic house and appreciated them as it was hot when we were there. Community pool is a drive to get to and very small. Just pivoted and went to the beach instead once we saw it in person.

Terrific Location!

Great value for the location and size of this house. You’re perfectly positioned directly across from the river walk and just about everything is in walking distance. Plus, finding a house to fit my large family, and everyone still have enough room for privacy, is hard to come by.

Thanksgiving retreat

The property was very clean and spacious. We had 10 adults and never felt crowded at all. Location is great, you are on the main road, and can hear the traffic. The fire pit didn’t work, they tried to fix it but think it just needs to be replaced. Would stay here again if looking for a large spacious home.

Cute old house in a great location

Great customer service from property manager when we locked ourselves out one day. Tons of character! Stairs down to the basement are narrow and there are no rooms on the ground floor so just be aware if anyone in your group struggles this might not be the best house. It is right across from a green park and a quick walk to cobblestone streets and stores. We stayed here and drove out to the beach at Tybee Island which was about 25 minutes away and a really cute beach town.
