Calling all families, artists and dreamers!
The Escape on Jones combines the best of the 19th Century (an old wooden structure) with the best of the mid-20th century (bring on the color and sleek design). The result is an open and creative space for artists and dreamers of all ages. Each new item and construction material was sourced with eco-friendliness in mind. From the certified sustainably-sourced furniture pieces to the 100% recycled materials used to construct the Polynesian inspired courtyard and 'hut,' The Escape on Jones breathes the progressive ideas of today into a classic structure of yesteryear.
Located on the 'prettiest street in the South,' walking on Jones St. is an escape all by itself. Lined with Savannah's famous live oaks draped with Spanish moss, you will sink into vacation mode the moment you hit the street. The location is perfect. It's in a quiet spot in the coveted historic district, but only blocks from the action and beauty of Savannah's renowned squares, stores and restaurants. You can spend weeks without ever needing a car.
The Escape on Jones is not owned by a factory rental company, but is instead the culmination of our family's dream. We visited for years and as much as we love the beauty of all the historic homes, we struggled to find a rental that felt safe for our young children. Steep rickety staircases, peeling paint, dark corners, and hardscaped courtyards led to anxiety-ridden rental experiences. So when a fixer upper hit the market, we decided to do something different.
Out went the steep brick staircase, and in went the deep deck steps (can only fall one at a time!). Out went the cinder blocks, in went the turf play area and soft stone pathways (ok, so our littlest one does still try to eat stones!). Every detail of The Escape on Jones was designed with child safety in mind, and as an inspirational space for creatives of all kinds.
We are committed to providing the absolute best service possible to our guests. Needs will inevitably arise, as we have experienced in our travels, but it is how these situations are handled that makes all the difference. Your needs and concerns will always be addressed in an urgent and considerate manner. You will be greeted by a kind voice or face, focused on assuring your trust in us is rewarded with the most thorough assistance possible. This is our personal family home, and you will be treated as a treasured house guest.
Lastly, as seasonal residents, we know the best of everything Savannah has to offer. If you share your interests, we'll be happy to provide recommendations tailored to them. We want you to love The Escape on Jones and Savannah as much as we do. We are excited to be a part of your next adventure!

The property is clean and cozy and well-stocked. Private and quiet yet located in the heart of the historic district within walking distance from all the historic sights and parks plus restaurants. Perfect space!!! The owner stayed in touch with us and routinely checked up on us.
We had a great time with our 2 kids, ages 2 and 7. The house was perfect for us, especially the outdoor space that both kids loved. We would definitely come back to stay here.
The location is fantastic, the property is unique and cozy. Very well maintained, very clean, very nicely appointed. We would and probably will rent again next time we are in Savannah.

Our family of 4 adults had a wonderful stay at this home. We were in Savannah for our son’s graduation from SCAD and the home was very convenient to the graduation venue.
It is delightfully decorated in fun primary colors.
The kitchen is well stocked, the beds were comfortable and check in and out were simple. The host was very helpful before and during our stay, very responsive. Will stay here again
I am so glad I picked this place over ones managed by a company. Can’t overstate how responsive and helpful the owner was. As a first time Savannah visitor, it was amazing to have so much input on restaurants, activities… all based on our interests and schedule. Like having a travel agent! His love for the town was infectious. And the place was so neat - so many interesting details to discover. Loved the decor, kitchen, bedrooms, back area with fun shelter…. It’s in town so be prepared for a little street noise. The street facing bedroom comes with a really nice noise machine but I didn’t need it. Working gas fireplaces were a treat! The owner really wants you to relax - the checkout list was minimal. Thanks for making this such a great visit!
The stay was amazing from start to finish. Ky was extremely communicative and gave great recommendations on things to do in the area.
Location is amazing with plenty to do in just a short walk or Uber ride.
The house itself has the most welcoming and cozy vibe with a bunch of funky, cool touches throughout.
I can’t recommend this place enough!
Our family traveled and stayed at this beautiful home to attend and support our artist's show at a gallery around the corner. We had a wonderful weekend enjoying Savannah's restaurants and coffee places and Tybee Island beach! This house was beautiful with 2 gas fireplaces, mod 1970s furnishings, comfy bedrooms and big bathrooms and a magical backyard. We will be back!
We stayed in Ky’s place with our 4 kids, ages ranging from 7 to 17. First off, Ky was an incredible host. Treated us like friends and answered our multitude of questions about Savannah and what to do with our family of 6. The property is in an amazing location, as we could easily walk to any part of historic Savannah that we wished. The property itself was great. My kids especially loved the back courtyard for playing. We’d definitely stay here again on another visit.
This is such a great home, and we had a great experience. The private backyard and parking space were very convenient for unloading luggage with a child, and the rooms and beds were very comfortable. We also loved that this home had a bathtub, as they are hard to come by in our home rental experience and very helpful with a young child. The location was convenient for everything in Savannah, and the owners were attentive. They made great efforts to go above and beyond and stayed in communication. We highly recommend this location!

Lovely decor and location, fantastic communication with owner. Would definitely stay again!
Ky and family were the best hosts we’ve ever! They were amazing and responsive and the place so cool and charming. One of the best short term rental experiences I’ve ever had.
This was my first time using this app and this property exceeded our expectations and then some. The home itself is beautiful and we loved the decor. The host made the process exceptionally easy and communicated with us regularly to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible. Would absolutely stay here again.
Perfect location for attending a concert at the Enmarket Arena and then sightseeing in downtown Savannah! The house was perfectly outfitted for a weekend stay. It was fun to be in an older home, which has been renovated superbly and decorated in such fun colors and furnishings!!
Escape on Jones was the perfect location for our Thanksgiving getaway. The house was just as described and walking distance to everything we wanted to do. Ky offered wonderful suggestions for activities, restaurants, and shops to check out. (More than we could ever visit in one trip so we must come back!) We loved everything about our stay. Thank you!
Our family of four absolutely loved our stay! We were able to walk everywhere in town, and when we were at the house we had plenty of space for everyone to hang out and the backyard was the perfect place for the kids to have space to run around. We will definitely be back. Thank you Ky, you were an amazing host!
This is a very well kept home in historic Savannah. It's very well decorated and has a lot of charm! We love the location as it's an easy 15 minute walk to anywhere in historic Savannah. The owner was awesome and made sure we had all the check-in information and didn't have any issues. He gave us some great recommendations for places to go. In general, it was obvious he wanted to make sure everyones' needs were met and he did it in spades! Will definitely stay here next time we're in Savannah.
We had a relaxing family getaway in this unique, quaint, artsy, family friendly home. It was perfect for all ages in our family and has Savannah vibes. Our daughters loved the bright friendly decor right when we stepped in the doors. Beds were comfortable and everything is extremely clean and well thought out in each room. Backyard is a great hangout location. Host provided great recommendations, answered questions timely and was extremely thoughtful. It’s a special place and we are looking forward to returning.
This colorful Savannah cottage is so well done! We appreciated every detail…the well-stocked kitchen, plush towels, private outdoor living space, keypad entries, comfortable mattresses, adorable artwork, thick rugs, storage cubbies, and convenient office desk. Also noteworthy is the comfortable air temperature for an older home, especially with the ceiling fans operating. The location is central and walkable. The host was extremely helpful with exceptional responsiveness and communication. I highly recommend this property! Thanks for a great stay, Ky!
