Not a good location
When you pull up and park outside this house....you may be surprised to see people out on their porches smoking weed and letting their kids run around in the street; but that is what you should expect. The music blaring out of houses around the area and the open doors to these locations was a little strange. I'd have to say we did not feel really safe in his area. It is only a couple blocks from the park which is great!! But it is at the very north end of the park which we did not realize is not at all like the much more quiet and quaint Southern end of the park. There is a glaring difference. Here are a couple things about this unit that you can expect.... - Smells very musty. There is a dehumidifier in the very small bathroom but you will need to empty out the bin when it fills up. - Can hear every person upstairs as they move around - Garbage disposal was very stinky (we went to the store and bought some lemon drops to make it better) - Rust all over refrigerator. It is just really old. - Very shallow couch. If you take the back cushions off it will not be as bad. - Really dirty floors. Wear your shoes or socks but DO NOT walk around with bare feet. If you are used to the nice/quiet/quaint Savannah locations you may want to look elsewhere.

Just over a block away from beautiful Forsyth Park and the free trolley which made it so convenient to get around Savannah. Also with a Krogers onky 2 blocks away, getting snacks and groceries was a breeze.The carriage house is just as described with every kitchen and bath essential provided. Great place would stay again!

Great VRBO
Let me preface my review by saying we liked the unit A LOT. They were very communicative, very accommodating and the place was very clean and well stocked. We would stay there again 100% the next time we were in Savannah. 2 things that we wanted to share: 1 - The tub was very clean but a bit beat up. 2 - The tub handles were very hard to turn. Could we turn it on? Yes. Was it a challenge … yes. Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

Clean, Close to Park
The Carriage House was a great choice for me, location wise. It really was a short walk to Forsythe Park, Krogers and easy access to other areas of the city, and the surrounding homes were lovely. And when I got there and had trouble with the AC system, I reached out to the hosts and they were super responsive getting back to me, helping me to get it re-set and cooling. The place was clean, and overall I found it a good lodging. I did have some issues, though: 1-it's very dark, unlike the pix, which must've had extra lighting brought in. It reminded me of a basement apartment. 2 - It's far back on the lot, so it's a long walk to unload your car. There is a back gate and some spaces back there, but apparently not for the use of guests. 3 - The atmosphere is a little cold, overall. The bed is comfy, but the couch is more stylish (though not uncomfortable) and there's only one armchair which again is stylish, not what I'd consider comfy. 4- The plumbing. You had to be careful when flushing the toilet that it flushed all the way. And the tap in the shower was very stiff - you really had to twist to get the hot/cold on and off. But, despite these issues, it was very clean and overall a good place. One final note: for some reason the outside light at the street gate is only motion activated, so finding it at night is pure luck - you have to walk past it to see the numbers. I found some guy wandering when I got home one night, completely confused as to the location.

Ground floor Carriage apartment
The inside of the apartment/suite was quite nice, clean with all the amenities we needed. However the outside grounds were not. A little TLC (e.g. power wash building and sidewalk and stepping stones, etc), mulch the areas around the bamboo, trim/remove dead banboo growth...just needs attention outside

This was a great location for us. The space was comfortable for us and our two dogs. Wish there had been grass or gravel in the yard and not dirt. When it rained it was a muddy mess taking the dogs out. Management was very responsive when our washer did not work and allowed us to use the washer in another unit. Requested cleaning supplies from maintenance man and he brought me some so I could clean the floors. Much appreciated!

Cute spot but needs some work
This particular location was OK. Pros: The bed was very comfortable, the couch pulled out nicely and easy for our daughter, and the kitchen was well stocked. We appreciated the Keurig pods, laundry detergent pods, dish wash pods(although they never seemed to dissolve), soaps, and provided toiletries. The location just a couple blocks away to walk to the south end of Forsyth Park, coffee shops, terrific breakfast and brunch locations, a Kroger, and more. Ample street parking was great. The TV is a Roku smart tv which came in handy when our little one needed a short tv break from all our activities. The decorations were adorable, and the unit stayed cold. Also, we felt very safe, as you need a code to get through a gate to access the property, and another code for the unit. The courtyard was cute, too. Shower water was easy to adjust to steamy hot or nice and cool with great water pressure. Cons: The floor was dirty, so much so that our socks were black and practically sticky within a couple of hours. The renters did offer to send cleaners, but at that point we were already set up and didn’t feel comfortable having somebody come in if we weren’t there. The kitchen sink leaked underneath in the cabinet, the drawers on each bedside table fell out with just the slightest pull, and one of the drawers in the bathroom was practically impossible to open. The pull-out couch had a dirty bed sheet still on it when we opened it (clean ones were provided and used immediately, but still kinda gross to see upon opening). While the unit did stay cold, it was very humid, to the point that clothes and bedding felt slightly damp. Some light switches were missing adjustment covers, and some outlets were missing faceplates. Not a big deal but could be dangerous for a younger child than ours. Overall we enjoyed our stay, as the hosts were very communicative, provided a great welcome packet with tons of helpful information, and included lots of sweet touches to help feel more at home.
