We had a wonderful week in Savannah at the Captain’s Cottage. It’s in a very central, ideal location for exploring the city. The house is immaculate, includes thoughtful and useful amenities, and is beautifully decorated. The beds are comfortable and there is a cozy feeling to the home. The hosts were easy to communicate with and went out of their way to make the stay enjoyable.

We spent year-end in this beautiful Savannah apartment and couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The location is ideal—close to everything, yet incredibly quiet and relaxing, exactly what we were looking for. The property is charming, thoughtfully designed, and absolutely pristine. Charles is an amazing host. Every detail was clearly considered to make guests feel at home. Both we and our pups felt completely comfortable here; and settled in right away. Being so close to the historic squares and the river made exploring effortless. We truly loved our stay and would absolutely come back.

1,000% recommend this cute place! The host has thought of everything and it is perfectly decorated. I have never stayed in a more clean VRBO. He was very helpful when arriving making sure we were able to park and get inside with ease. I wish I could live in this place full time. It was easy for uber to find us, you can see the Pirate House Restaurant from the front door, we recommend the crab dip! We will be repeat customers. He even had coffee /creamer and sugar - now you know that was a win- win!
