The property was perfect for our three family units. The lichen in upstairs unit had everything we needed. Maintenance had to come once and they were very responsive. Highly recommend this property.

Great House
This house was perfect for our group! The beds were so comfy and the space was so nice. Everything was tastefully decorated. It had all the amenities. The location was great if you wanted to walk to the beach and it wasn’t a bad drive into downtown Savannah. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

Great house with good value
We got the house thinking it was all one large house. However, this was actually two separate units that you have to go outside to go to the other. Then one of the full bathrooms was outside completely which we didn’t really understand I guess. The home was well cleaned and is a reasonable distance to the beach (about a 5-7 minute walk). The bottom floor was very cool but some get the top floor was very hot and the ceiling fan in the living room only does the slow mode and some rooms didn’t have a fan at all. The grill was not working well when we were there but only found out after buying a ton of food to grill out (which some had to go to waste because we didn’t have the right kitchenware to cook on the stove). After sending a message, we got a very odd response and no one reached out or came by to fix it during our 4 days there. Overall, the experience was good and we would recommend it and just encourage you to know it is not one big house but two units in total with one bathroom on the outside.
