Great view!

The location is wonderful. Forsyth Park is right across the street. We couldn't walk much, but if you can everything is easily accessed. Deb was great to work with. She answered all my questions in record time.

Excellent Location

We really enjoyed our stay. The Park Suite at Whitaker Mansion was in the best location. It is in a quiet neighborhood, just across the street from the beautiful Forsyth Park. The Park Suite is within walking distance of the historic district. It was the perfect place for us to unwind from a busy day exploring the museums and homes of the historic district. Plus, we could burn off some calories from the delicious meals at local restaurants.

THE perfect locale! Historic District on Forsyth Park

Location is right on Whitaker which you can walk across the street to the park and also straight shot walking to River District. Kitchen modern, bath smaller, living area furnishings are simple and adequate. Bedroom is top notch in the mattress and bedding department. Walking distance to Kroger. Rate is reasonable for the location. It perfectly met our needs. Owner very responsive to any questions.

Favorite spot in Savannah

We loved the location of this cute little apartment. The cleanliness was a little subpar, just in need of a thorough cleaning- dusty decorations, baseboards, dirty door in bathroom, stains on couch. Could use some lighting updates as well, it’s pretty dimly lit. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

Great Location and Space

This property was very well located within walking distance of a lot of sites. The space worked great for us with the kitchenette as it allowed us to prepare our own meals. The TV was limited on what was available and was told old to have WiFi for casting from a phone or computer.We also ended up having a colder weekend than expected and could not get the heater to work at all.It was not so cold that we had a problem and the basement location kept the temps reasonable but we did have to bundle up while in the room. We were ok, so we did not report it to the manager.Loved our stay and plan to return, hoping that any winter stay will have a working heater. Love Savannah and the process toBook and find the location was easier than expected for a city stay.

Birthday Getaway

My wife and her cousin went down for her birthday. It was confusing what door to go to to find keypad. There were instructions NOT to go inside the gated area because of Dogs. Which is where they needed to go. That part of listing needed updating. It was Cold inside the unit the heat never worked very well!

WARNING STAY AWAY FROM THIS RENTAL

Filthy place! Bed sagged in the middle! 2 people lay shoulder to shoulder in the bed almost on top of each other! Very BIG ROACHES! Not really a safe neighborhood, you have to park on side street can not see your vehicle at all.

Unsatisfactory- Had to leave early

I cannot understand all the highly rated reviews of this property - I think the 2, 4, and 6-star reviews are realistic assessments of this place. We booked it for a long stay in January 2025, but I was nervous based on those low reviews, so we booked for three nights in October 2024 to make sure it would be satisfactory. It was not. The complete deal-breaker was the bed - it appears to be some kind of memory foam mattress, so you kind of “stick” to it, and it sags so badly in the middle that I found myself “throwing” one leg over the side to keep from falling into the center. Our backs hurt so badly after two nights that we left a day early. The comments about flea-market furniture are accurate. There is one tiny table whose top wobbles so badly that you can barely use it. It has two cane chairs whose bottoms are about to fall through, hidden by old cushions. The couch is an old sleeper sofa, which is also very uncomfortable. The toilet leaked when you flushed it, which apparently previous guests had noted. How this is a problem whose fix could be delayed is beyond me - disgusting. The price is right, and we were able to bring our dog, but those are the only positive things about this property. It is rented for most days of every month, so it seems to me that there should be plenty of money coming in to update it. It sounds like the furniture is the same now that was complained about in the 2022/2023 reviews. Could be a nice place if completely remodeled.

Convenient to park hard to find parking. Mattress was pretty much un sleepable. Had a terrible backache everyday. Got locked out of our room for 3 hours our last night. Had to wait outside for a locksmith.

Fantastic “antique” vibe. Could not ask for a better location. Comfy bed. Handy kitchen. Only four stars because it needs a working dehumidifier and the bathroom could use paint top to bottom.

Weekend Getaway

This VRBO was perfect for a weekend getaway. The accommodations were clean and within walking distance of almost all attractions. We particularly enjoyed being directly across the street from Forsyth Park. Our host was a great communicator and left us a list of recommended places to visit/eat. We would definitely consider staying at this location the next time we are in town!

Taste of Savannah

Forsythe Park is truly steps away - directly across the street. We loved being able to take a very short walk into the park with our dog to enjoy a fantastic breakfast at Collins Quarter. Shops, restaurants, the squares were all so accessible. We had a family emergency that created some challenges with our schedule and our hostess was so helpful. Communication was quick and easy. Parking around the corner was easy. We loved the location and the apartment is charming. The bed was cozy, there are books and tv for down time and the bed was comfy. Bathroom is small.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Schott

JIm & Yvonne bought this house in July of 2019 and wanted to continue on with the Vacation rentals that the previous owner had in place. They also decided to keep the previous proprety manager on as she has managed the property for 6 years with a proven track record of quickly responding to any guest issues. They are totally in love with this house and live in the upper part with their 3 children. They are dedicated to making your stay at the Whitaker Mansion a total success.

Why they chose this property

Property is located in a residential neighborhood and offers a real feel for the southern charm of Savannah. It is more like a home away from home than a hotel would feel.
