My husband and I stayed in the carriage house for our honeymoon. After staying in a couple hotels in Savannah, and many other rental homes during other destinations, this was by far our favorite! Walt worked with us (long-distance) throughout the rental arrangement, and check-in was a breeze. Not only was this quaint little spot clean, but it was stocked with most things we would need (linens, kitchen utensils, etc.).

The size of this little cottage was perfect for two, and it's in a great location for anyone willing to walk around town. Make sure to catch a Sandgnats game, and don't miss out on Clary's Cafe just around the corner. We were extremely impressed with our stay, and recommend Southern Belle to anyone traveling to Savannah. We have this cottage booked for our anniversary next month, and cannot wait!

Perfect for Couples

We loved this carriage house for our recent getaway in Savannah. Everything in the unit was perfectly clean, comfortable, and appealing. We especially enjoyed the quiet and privacy of the shady patio. Savannah is all about walking, and the carriage house's location made it easy to see most of the important sights. (River Street is a little farther; on the evenings we went there, we drove about halfway to avoid the parking and traffic headaches.) Parking near the carriage house was always available.

The kitchen is small but well-supplied, quite adequate for breakfast and snacks. You'll probably eat out for most meals; Savannah has loads of great restaurants (and not just the famous ones). Note that you will need to be able to navigate stairs to the bedroom and bathroom.

Walt was a pleasure to deal with. We appreciated his very detailed directions -- including a photo of the door -- since the location is a little hard to find the first time.

Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again. Great choice!

My wife and I were celebrating our 40th anniversary and she has always had a desire to see Savannah after reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I love to explore new places and had never been to Savannah previously. This apartment was absolutely wonderful for its decor, location and comfort. It has everything you could possibly need and is located within easy walking distance of the historic district. The outside shared patio was never frequented by anyone but us and we had our evening wine and conversation her most every night. We brought our bicycles and took them on day trips to Tybee Island, Isle of Hope and Beaufort, SC. It made for a great way to see more of these wonderful communities. We had a few of our meals at the apartment and all the necessary amenities were available for that but there were so many great restaurants to try and so little time to hit them in but we tried our hardest. Lunch at Vic's on the River was excellent but pricey a better value was at Six Pence Pub, great fun at Jazz'd Tapas Bar, delicious breakfast at Goose Feathers and our favorite dinner the week we were there was at 17 Hundred 90. From our experience I would say avoid Mellow Mushroom unless you like cigarette smoke and a really loud atmosphere. Can't say enough good about the apartment though, having laundry facilities was especially nice and everything was spotless. The queen bed was very comfortable and there was lots of reading material available to choose from. With all the walking and biking we did this is the first time I've come back from vacation and actually lost two pounds! And we never skimped on food or wine. Try this place, you'll love it. We did and will definitely stay here again if we return to Savannah. Oh yeah, watch out for the no parking signs for the street sweepers. I did pretty good until our last night and ended up with a $15 ticket, well worth the free parking we had all week long.
