This home was wonderful. Beautifully historic home with tons of charm. Easy location to the highway and downtown! The host was the best, very accommodating and made sure our stay was seamless.
We loved our stay at the Clara House! The house is wonderful, and we really appreciated Carmen and Jon's hospitality. Carmen gave us some great recommendations of activities and restaurants that were perfect for our family. Thank you again for a lovely stay!
Hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We loved the home, from its historical details to the many well placed decorations in every space of the house. It felt very warm and welcoming, even though I was convinced it would be haunted, as much of Savannah is. House was not too far from attractions. We felt safe walking nearby during the day. River Street was walkable if you were up to it, but trolley and Uber were used often. Thanks for a great place to crash!
The property was amazing, exactly like the description, very clean and plenty of space. Great location. Carmen was very communicative and easy to work with on our reservations as well as our stay. Highly recommend.
The house has charming decor and well laid out. The beds were comfortable with plenty of space for all. Well equipped kitchen. Nice place to chill while in Savannah.
The Clara was a wonderful place to stay. Check in was easy, it’s in a walkable neighborhood. The home was beautiful with so much space and everything you need. I hope to stay there again on my next Savannah visit.
We loved how much it felt like Savannah in this one! We had so much room for everything and it was so close to all of our plans that we barely even had to use it except for sleep! The host was great at communication as well if we needed anything.
The host was so kind in decorating the house and getting a treat for our daughter who turned 11 during our stay. Truly made us feel like family. Loved that the house was stocked with everything we needed. Definitely a unique stay in a vintage house - we absolutely loved it. Great location for us to explore Savannah. Beds were super comfy and our 3 daughters all had a place to have some time to themselves. Thanks again for such an amazing stay!!
Plenty of room for 6 of us girls. Inside was amazing. Host was very kind and very responsive. Nice little back outdoor area and parking for 2 cars off alley a definite plus. Walking distance to the parks. The only negative was the couches were very uncomfortable. They are pretty and fit the Era but not comfy at all.
We had a wonderful stay at the Clara! The vintage furnishings were charming! The kitchen was well stocked and we were even greeted with fresh flowers, chocolate, and birthday wishes! Our host was very pleasant and responsive! The location was “walkable” to several historic spots and good coffee shops and restaurants!
The house was perfect to experience some Savannah charm. The host was great with communication and overall the process was super smooth. Great location to downtown.

We had an absolutely amazing time in Savannah!!! Our house was gorgeous and the owners were the epitome of true Savannah hospitality!!!! We can’t wait to go back!!!
Carmen’s property was wonderful. It was a beautiful Savannah home with plenty of space for a large group. As one of our friends said, it was nice to be in a house advertised to sleep 10 people that also had enough living space for a large group to actually relax! We had a wonderful time here.
We were so incredibly happy to stay in this charming historic home. It seems bigger and more stunning than the pictures. Has 3 separate outdoor sitting areas as well. Upstairs bedroom area was adorable and historic. Location was perfect and we either walked, road the DOT, or used uber. Parking and checking in was a breeze. Jon and Carmen could not have been more inviting and initiated contact all the way, making certain every need was met. Our only regret was we didn't plan to stay longer. HIGHLY recommend The Clara!
Owners were great. Communication was very good. House is historic and has some beautiful things about it but it’s old. If you like modern this isn’t the place for you.
Living room was comfortable and the kitchen has all the necessary conveniences. The bathrooms are old! That might work for you. The beds were comfortable and pillows good which you can’t say for a lot of areas. The location was convenient.
Very charming Victorian. In "as is" condition. The house is over 100 years old, and you can tell for sure. It was immaculately clean, but in very fragile condition. Peeling paint on the ceilings, precariously sloping floors in upstairs bathroom, inability to lock most inside doors, not enough outlets to plug in all tech for 10 people. But, on the positive note we had fully stocked kitchen, walked to the waterfront, and pretended to be dainty Southern ladies walking down a gorgeous hundred year old staircase. Incredible house. Bring powerstrips and extention cords. Southern charm 12 out of 10!!
