About this property

Jones Street Retreat on 2nd Floor w/ Lunch from Mrs. Wilkes by Lucky Savannah

Rich in both history and charm, this building was once the home of Mrs. Wilkes, proprietress of the famous Boarding House and still-operational Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room. This third floor apartment offers a unique accommodations for up to four Lucky guests. You’ll wake up every morning to beautiful Jones Street, where cobblestones and ancient oak trees dripping in Spanish moss compelled Southern Living Magazine to name it the “Prettiest Street in America.”

The original hardwood floors and 12’ ceilings will give you a sense of stepping back in time, while the tasteful interior decor and modern amenities provide all the luxuries of staying at hotel - with more room. The large living room has plenty of space and comfortable seating. The galley kitchen opens to the dining room. You’ll find everything you need to cook a full meal, or just enjoy a cup of coffee while you plan your day.

The bedroom offers a king sized, four poster bed, and the dresser and closet provide plenty of space. The ensuite bath has a tub/shower combo, vanity with sink and a separate vanity ideal for getting ready for a night out.

Wilkes Three is an ideal location to call home while exploring the Historic District. Located in the middle of our bustling Design District, stylish shops dot the streets among several historic homes open for touring, including the Mercer Williams House and the childhood home of Flannery O’Connor. With a three night or longer say, you’ll receive one free lunch for two at Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room, where you’ll dine like a local and feel like family!

Why Lucky Savannah Loves this Property:
- This apartment has a full sized washer and dryer, making it ideal for extended stays.
- A walk down nearby Whitaker Street will bring you to several locally owned shops, including One Fish Two Fish, Number Four Eleven, and Lily Bay Studio + Bazaar.
- Digital nomads can get some work done at the desk in the bedroom.

Sleeping Configuration:
Bedroom 1: King Bed
Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa

Noce stay

We enjoyed our stay at Wilkes three. The home was clean and spacious. The amenities were up to date within the historic home. The bed was comfortable. The management company was very responsive when we struggled to get in and then had an issue with the shower.

The building's location on picturesque Jones Street was ideal, as we were able to walk to every place we visited in the old historic district.

Girls trip to Savannah.

There was no instructions on where to put the linens, where the carriage house was for the trash, and what to set the thermostat to. There was food under the couch and a tack on the rug. The refrigerator handles were dirty as well as the lid to the trash can. I’ve stayed at several vbro’s with a long list of to dos. It is really helpful. We also didn’t get our voucher to Mrs. Wilkes Restaurant. That was disappointing. The location was wonderful as well as the neighborhood.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was one of the most fantastic places we have stayed in. It was very clean, and maintained. We were able to park our car in a garage nearby and walk to River Street and the parks, etc. We walked everywhere and used Uber twice late at night. If you can, definitely eat at Mrs. Wilkes downstairs - it will be a meal you will never forget. We highly recommend staying here and definitely recommend taking the trolley tour where you can get on and off. The management company is outstanding!

Memorable Savannah stay

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 really enjoyed our stay in Savannah, a city full of history and character with its own soul. And this appartement, in the heart of the historic district was perfectly in sync with the overall city atmosphere, as we had the impression to live as real Savannah inhabitants. The appartement, pretty huge, has plenty of charm, decorated and furnished with taste in all rooms including bathroom and kitchen. The voucher to access Mrs Wicles restaurant, located in the basement was a real plus to cut the impressive queue forming every day at lunchtime. We really experienced and enjoyed here the delicious simple and true Southern cooking as well as the warm sense of hospitality. Despite the WiFi connection not always very stable, all was perfect. Definitely a recommended address for current and future Savannah lovers.

Loved our location and stay!

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: First of all, there is a fan in one of the closets!! This is important to those that like fans when they sleep. There are not fans in the rooms. I loved our stay in Lucky Savannah! We wandered around the town, by foot, because the location is an easy walk to wherever you need. I recommend going to the City of Savannah office to purchase a daily parking pass, if you will be there on week days. Weekend parking was free. Also look for certain sides of the road to have street sweeping on certain days. You have to move your car. It’s all very do-able!We really liked the charm of our rental, the space was fine for our family of 4. There is not a door between the bedroom and living room though. That’s really all I would change about the entire condo! We had lunch at Mrs Wilkes the last afternoon we were there and really enjoyed it! I highly recommend Lucky Savannah. The price, comfort and location are A+++!

The street and location is beautiful as well. The accommodations were great as well, bed was very comfortable. The rental is very cutely decorated, has everything we needed for our long weekend there. Also, we had dinner downstairs at Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room- (got to go in the back door to avoid the line) it was the highlight meal of our trip- cannot be skipped! Would definitely stay here again.

It is right on Jones St. walking distance to Forsyth Park, good cafes and restaurants and all my nostalgia places I wanted to show my parents around. The place was as described. Really well refurbished to keep the vintage aesthetic. The check-in and check-out was smooth. We had enough linens and towels for all. Parents took lots of pictures around the place! Would totally recommend!

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: The Wilkes Three was the perfect place to stay. A large apartment on the most beautiful Jones Street in Savannah. We were within walking distance of so many wonderful sites. We were able to come back to the apartment throughout the day if we wanted. The apartment was very spacious and tastefully decorated. It was just as described in the description and the communication from the owner was very detailed and extremely helpful. We loved walking to Forsyth Park, City Market, River Street, Mercer-Williams House, SCAD Museum and several cafes and restaurants. Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room downstairs had the best fried chicken too. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Center of Historic district, charming, exceeded expectations

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: We loved our stay at The Wilkes House in Historic Savannah, centrally located on beautiful Jones St. Our Wilkes 3 apartment was spacious & location was excellent. This historic home is clean, well kept, comfortably furnished & charming. It had dishes, pans & utensils needed to cook our own meals. Communication from the Lucky Savannah folks was great: They texted when our room was ready, emailed tips about our stay, sites, tours, & restaurants. We flew in for a 1 week stay in early May & didn't need to rent a car. Took a taxi to & from the airport. We walked or used the free DOT bus (bus stop is on the corner 2 doors away-a 1 minute walk). Only a 12 minute walk to Forsyth Park (awesome farmer’s market on Saturdays, plus during the week it had a dog show, volleyball tournament, a wedding), a 15 minute walk to the Visitor Center/Railroad Museum/ & trolley tour depart points, a 20 minute walk to River St. We enjoyed walking in the historic district and the beautiful squares. Favorite grocery stores: Brighter Day Natural Foods Market & Kroger. Favorite carryout prepared foods: Brighter Day Natural Foods Market, David’s Crab House. Favorite restaurants: the lunch buffet at the historic Mrs. Wilkes House below the apartment (11am-2pm), the Pirates House lunch buffet with a Chatham Artillery Punch, The Sentient Bean. Favorite Activities: Eating & having our morning coffee at the small bistro table on our front porch overlooking beautiful Jones St, the fun Tybee Island Dolphin Tour on Gray Line Tours with Chris who included stops at the lighthouse, beach & lunch at the Crab House, the free passenger ferry on River St. crossing the Savannah River to see the Savannah skyline, the 3-museum tour pkg from Coastal Heritage Society included an historic home tour/Savannah History Museum/Railroad Museum, & Mass at the historic St. John the Baptist Cathedral. When we return to Savannah, we would definitely stay here again.
