Guest Access:

Guests have the whole home, the screened porch, the upstairs balcony, and free street parking in front of the building. The check-in guide in the Guest App has the details for getting in.



The home is in a building that also houses other spaces and local residents, it shares a wall with another home, and the courtyard is shared with other units in the HOA, mostly private residents. You may hear other guests coming and going. Please treat the space and the neighbors with respect. Quiet hours are 8 PM to 8 AM. Events are welcome if cleared and coordinated with us first. Smoking is allowed outside only, in designated spots.



The Neighborhood:

The home is in Savannah's historic downtown on a quiet street. Whitefield Square is steps away, and Forsyth Park is about a 15 minute walk. Highly rated restaurants, boutique shops, historic monuments, squares and parks are all nearby, and River Street is about a 20 minute walk.



Getting Around:

Street parking in front of the home is free and first come, first served. Please read the posted street sweeping signs (white and red) and move your car when needed to avoid a fine.



Most of downtown Savannah is walkable from the home.



Other Things to Note:

House rules in short: 4 guests maximum. Minimum age to book is 21. Check-in is 4 PM and check-out is 10 AM. Smoking is allowed outside only, in designated spots. Events must be cleared and coordinated with us first. Quiet hours are 8 PM to 8 AM. Please leave your shoes at the door.



Pets: Hypoallergenic dogs up to 30 pounds are welcome, one dog per stay, for $50 per dog, per day. Dogs must be crated when left unattended in the unit. Service animals are welcome under ADA guidelines, and emotional support animals pay the pet fee.



Stairs: There are six steps from the sidewalk up to the front door, and 17 steps from the foyer up to the bedrooms and bathrooms. Both bedrooms are upstairs.



The front door auto-locks when pulled shut tightly from outside, give it a tug afterward to confirm it is locked. Exterior security cameras cover the front door and back door.



We spray for bugs every quarter, but you may still see palmetto bugs, wasps and other insects. Keeping windows and doors shut, eating only at the dining table and keeping trash in the trash can will help. Starter amounts of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and laundry detergent are stocked.



House quirks: To run the fan with the light off in the primary bedroom, turn the switch off and then back on. The upstairs porch light switch is in the primary bedroom. The mirror in the second bedroom opens toward the door when you pull gently on its right side. To open the microwave after use, press the red Unlock button in the middle of the keypad, then the large silver button.



Interaction with Guests:

We live close by and are available day and night through the app or by phone.



Check-in is self check-in. Your codes and instructions are sent through the app at 3 PM on your arrival day, and we ask that you wait until check-in time to enter.
