Guest Access:
Guests have exclusive access to the entire duplex and backyard! The duplex features side-by-side units, with both units opening to the same backyard. Identical sets of furniture have been set up in the backyard for each unit to use on their own. If you decide to bring them together during your stay, please make sure to place them back in separate positions. The units can be rented individually as well, so the outdoor furniture is spaced to separate them. Keypad next to the front doors allows for easy entry (code provided prior to check-in). Please be mindful of noise throughout your stay. Free street parking can be found directly in front of the house and on the side streets to either side of the house. Be sure to read the signs though, each side is off limits at different times throughout the week for street sweepers!
The Neighborhood:
Just two blocks from Forsyth Park, the duplex is located in the middle of a lively and well-maintained neighborhood in Historic District - South. There's plenty to do in any direction, with all of the notable sights of Downtown Savannah within walking/ biking distance! The numerous biking lanes and crosswalks means that all of Savannah is easily accessible from the cottage. Some recommendations for nearby areas to explore are Forsyth Park, the Telfair Museum of Art, the Owens-Thomas House, City Market, and the Plant Riverside District!
Getting Around:
The duplex is within walking distance to the bus stop; buses run all over downtown Savannah and even offer free rides for tourists during certain times of the day. The cottage also has plenty of street parking directly in front of it and on the streets to either side of it. Finally, the app "Downtowner" offers free taxi services for the Savannah downtown area. Hours are limited for Downtowner however, so please make sure to check hours before planning on utilizing it.
Other Things to Note:
The duplex is a historic home and as such is not sound proofed to the standards of modern construction. We have done our best to provide better insulation, by plexi-glassing the bedroom windows and providing noise blocking curtains but it is not a perfect solution. If you are a light sleeper, please consider bringing ear plugs as the prime location of the duplex leads to a decent amount of road traffic!
Dogs must be leashed at all times, including in the backyard. There are gaps under the fence where dogs could slip through if left off-leash.
We provide doggy bags for cleanup—please pick up after your pet to keep the space clean. Failure to do so may result in an additional charge.
Check in is any time after 4:00 PM. Please ensure you read through the check in instructions prior to arrival, to ensure a smooth and seamless entry.
Check out is any time before 10:00 AM.
We provide a basic starter pack of amenities to get your trip started.
Please note that the sizing of the duplex will ensure you are close to all your travel companions, and we cannot accommodate more guests, even for a short duration, than the maximum reservation occupancy listed. This cottage is cozy and intended for groups that are the same.
We are available during you stay for anything you need, and we strive to make sure your stay is 5-star worthy! Please reach out if you need anything during your stay!
To make your stay more comfortable, we provide a starter pack of essentials, including:
1 paper towel roll
2 toilet paper rolls per bathroom
3 dish pods
3 laundry pods
3 trash bags
1 new sponge
Coffee: 5 K-cups or 2 bags of ground coffee
Shampoo, body wash and conditioner are included!
Please note that these are starter supplies, and any additional items needed during your stay will be a guest responsibility :) Thank you so much and we are looking forward to hosting you!

Interaction with Guests:
As a former Savannah local and someone who returns frequently, I would be happy to provide recommendations for touring, eating, or fun! I also understand that some people prefer to explore on their own, so if you need anything at all, just let me know!
