Good to know
I purchased this property pending foreclosure as a burn out in 2013. Over the course of the following 7 years, I lived and worked at this home restoring and renovating the site myself into what is now available for you to experience! I immensely enjoy my time there, and I'm optimistic that you will too. These spaces and the experience curated within them has been given a great deal of love and consideration. I'm hopeful that you will be willing to offer the same. *Please be note that the A/C system was revamped for better efficiency in early 2025 after after reported inconsistency to provide a better guest experience for all.* Originally built in 1920, this studio has been fully redesigned and features historic charm, modern decor, and unique character. Enjoy an open floorplan featuring a full kitchen, a king-sized bed, and cozy sofa. Hardwood flooring and decorative brick fireplaces highlight the historic integrity of the home, while updated design elements and artwork bring in modern touches, mimicking the eclectic nature of Savannah itself. The full kitchen is stocked with basic cookware, appliances, and complimentary coffee. The Roku TV adds easy access to a variety of streaming software for the guest’s enjoyment. There is also a hot tub and fire pit in the backyard that are available for guest use! Please be advised that this space is a single studio with an attached bathroom, both of which are divided from the rest of the home. It is a first-level studio apartment in a multi-unit building. There is a passage door in this unit that connects it to another studio, but it is securely locked from both sides. Ask about booking about studios if you have a larger party. You're within walking distance to many Savannah staples, including Tacos+Tequila, Cotton and Rye, Sentient Bean, Forsyth Park and so much more! It's about a 10 minute drive (or a cheap Uber ride) to River Street and about a 25 minute drive to Tybee Island. Parking: There is one space in the back of the home that is available to use when renting this unit. Please only park in the We cannot guarantee enough space for trailers, U-Hauls, boats, etc. There is also ample free street parking available around the unit, but this is all first come first serve and is not guaranteed. Please be advised of weekly street cleaning - there are signs that indicate which day of the week the street cleaning is, and if you happen to stay during street cleaning, you can just park around the corner and the schedule will be different. Quiet Hours: This is a residential neighborhood. Please be advised that we ask all guests to respect 10PM quiet hours every night of the week. Any violations may result in a formal report on Airbnb or an early termination of your reservation. Any unapproved late checkouts may result in additional fees. There is a $50 shipping fee for any items that you leave behind and need shipped back to you. This listing is a great fit for those traveling alone, or couples looking to come to Savannah to have a great time and experience the city as locally and authentically as possible! If a residential neighborhood filled with art students and families of folks who look differently than you will make you uncomfortable, then I’d recommend a hotel. Our team has worked very hard to create a luxurious experience that reflects the eclectic and artistic nature of the city and if you’re unsure about what may be the most suitable for you and your needs, I’m happy to chat with you at any point to help you determine that!

Neighborhood
The Starland District, located within the borders of the Thomas Square Streetcar Historic District, is one of Savannah’s most fashionable emerging neighborhoods. The district traces its history back over a period of more than a hundred years. Specifically, its origins lie in the founding of the Starland Dairy, a milk processing factory around which the rest of the neighborhood would develop over the course of several decades. The restoration of the Starland District began in 2000, and is still a work in progress. The plan for Starland aimed to restore both its residential and commercial functions, creating a vibrant new art and design district —a haven for local artists and musicians and packed with the city’s best indie boutiques, cafés, shops, and even a brewery —has piqued the interest of preservation buffs because of its Queen Anne, Greek Revival and Craftsman-style homes. This is a rapidly gentrifying area with a lot of renovation projects happening in this trendy and diverse neighborhood consisting of SCAD students, Savannah locals, and vacation homes alike. There are dozens of amazing dining options nearby, including Cotton and Rye for eclectic Southern fare, or Tacos+Tequila for tex-mex, both on Habersham, or Collins Quarter Café in Forsyth Park for brunch and mimosas, all less than a 15 minute walk. It's an exciting time to visit, and we ask our guests to be tolerant and respectful of our diverse neighborhood, and the people who call Savannah home. Local neighborhood shops and restaurants include: • Forsyth Park - Just an eight minute walk. Make sure you check out the Forsyth Farmer's Market, which takes place every Saturday from 9a.m. to 1p.m. • Brighter Day Natural Foods Market - Savannah's historic natural foods market has served as an anchor at the south end of Forsyth Park since 1978, offering a wide selection of organic goods, fresh produce, natural foods, and they even have a walk-up deli window serving up tasty sandwiches on the go! An ideal stop for visitors who would like to pack a healthy picnic to enjoy in Forsyth Park • Back in the Day Bakery - This Southern gem serves up time-honored recipes made by hand with the highest quality ingredients. Don't miss their signature vanilla cupcakes or delicious Biscones - a favorite among visiting celebrities. This crumbly cross between a scone and biscuit is actress Jennifer Garner's absolute favorite. • Grave Face Records & Curiosities - Funky destination for used records & cassettes, plus taxidermy animals & pop culture novelties. • Starland Yard - You're going to love this place! This outdoor food truck haven offers a kid and dog-friendly atmosphere with lively entertainment on most nights, draft beer, and probably the best wood-fire pizza ever! • Foxy Loxy Coffee - A mixture of an art gallery, coffee shop and bistro, Foxy Loxy has a menu options that include all three mealtimes, coffee drinks and even wine alongside constantly changing creative displays. • La Scala Ristorante - An upscale establishment where the food is impeccably prepared and presented. They have a patio featuring live music every first Friday of the Month from Spring to Fall.
