About this apartment rental
Built toward the end of the 19th century, this one-bedroom, one and one half-bath property is as rich in history as it is charm. Once the home of Mrs. Wilkes, proprietress of the famous Boarding House and still-operational Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room, this parlor-level condo offers a unique stay for up to four Lucky guests. Wake up every morning to beautiful Jones Street, where cobblestones and ancient oak trees dripping in spanish moss compelled Southern Living Magazine to name it the “Prettiest Street in America.”
The original hardwood floors and 12’ ceilings and tasteful interior decor make this home-away-from-home warm and inviting. The large living area has a flat screen TV and a queen-sized sleeper sofa. Pocket doors separate the parlor from the dining room, which has seating for four. The galley-style kitchen is fully equipped with all you’ll need for a weekend getaway or extended stay. The large, elegant bedroom has a king-sized bed with soft, luxurious bedding.
The Wilkes House is an ideal location to call home while exploring the varied sights and activities around the Historic District. Located in the middle of our bustling Design District, stylish shops dot the streets among several historic homes open for touring, including the Mercer Williams House and the childhood home of Flannery O’Connor. With a three night or longer say, you’ll receive one free lunch for two at Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room, where you’ll dine like a local and feel like family!
Why Lucky Savannah Loves this Property:
- Take a leisurely morning stroll through nearby Forsyth Park, Savannah’s largest green space and a popular location for weddings and festivals.
- A small patio in the back is the perfect spot to enjoy a fine Savannah morning and cup of coffee.
- This home has a washer and dryer for added convenience.
Sleeping Configuration:
Bedroom 1: King Bed
Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
What is parking like for this home?
This home has on-street, metered parking which is enforced by the City of Savannah Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.

This charming place is so well appointed and very spacious. It’s on the prettiest street and very convenient to the downtown and River front. Its location makes it so easy to walk to all the beautiful parks/squares and down to the river. We had a lovely stay and would recommend it. Also, since we stayed for 3 nights, we received a complimentary lunch at Mrs. Wilkes dining room which was delicious!

We had a great 3 night stay here. The apartment was beautiful and had a lot of character. It was in a beautiful location that was walking distance to everywhere we went. The weather was a perfect temperature while we were there so walking was easy to do without sweating. I can see where walking may not be the chosen transportation during hotter months in Savannah. We were leaving on a Tuesday morning so we were able to eat our lunch Monday at Mrs Wilkes. While we were told we could enter through the back and avoid the line we sat on the steps as the people started gathering and met the people we would ultimately sit with, which was cool. One couple was local so they made some suggestions of things to do and a little history.The two bathrooms were a huge bonus.There were so many places to eat that we only used the kitchen for the coffee maker. I was pleasantly surprised that there were coffee packets there for us. We had a great time and look forward to coming back!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch @ Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room and we’re able to walk to all the sights of Savannah from this location.It was a beautifully decorated property, the only drawback was a VERY soft mattress and the A/C struggled to cool the humid air.

The rental was exactly as pictured. Beautiful architecture in a historic building on a beautiful tree lined street. The rental was clean and looked beautiful upon our arrival. Entrance into rental was just as described and relatively easy. The only issues were that the apartment was not as cool as we typically like. Don’t know if AC was not operating properly or because of the historic building. We did contact management and they sent someone from maintenance at night to check it out so they were very responsive. The second issue was the parking. We had to move the car in the morning to a parking garage. It was plainly stated but we did not realize what a hassle that could be. Overall it was a great rental in a perfect location. The bus stop was on the corner and we were in walking distance of all the tourist attractions. Savannah is a beautiful city and we enjoyed every moment.

My husband, SCAD daughter and I spent the week while our home in Savannah was having flooring replaced. It was a great stay action location in Savannah's most beautiful street!
We enjoyed eating at Mrs Wilkes, walked in Forsythe park and took a shopping meander down Broughton. I was really fun to be in the historical area of our home town. Thank you neighbor!

The gentleman that worked at the restaurant was very helpful letting us know how the parking worked which was very appreciated since we have a big truck. The bed was great and the furnishings were great and beautifully decorated.

The location is great. We walked everywhere. Description accurate. The property is not as tidy as I would like. But I realize it is an old property. For instance the kitchen cupboard doors need cleaning. Washer and dryer worked well. Dishwasher door appeared to need repair. Customer service was good. The staff was helpful. I would recommend this property to others. We saw the Low house, the house where Gen Sherman stayed. The Public restaurant has really good food. Also The Collins is good food with 2 locations. See Forsythe park, Take a tour of the city on your first day.

A great place to serve as your base of operations for everything Savannah. Quiet, convenient, easily and pleasantly walkable area in the quieter side of the Historic District. Had one problem with the entry door; it was addressed in short order to our satisfaction. Very responsive management. Highly recommend.

Location is what sells this property! We stayed here over Labor Day weekend. The area was surprisingly quiet. The property is above the famous Mrs Wilkes Dining Room so you might have large crowds of people standing in line right outside the home. We only experienced this on check-in day.
Pros- awesome location! Close walking distance to some restaurant/coffee shops, Forsyth park, and shops. You get a complimentary meal for two at Mrs Wilkes Dining Room. Food was delicious and we met some amazing folks! Check-in/out process was super easy. Spacious accommodations for the three of us (souse and 7yr old). Having two bathrooms was nice 😊
Cons: though the home was clean, it still has somewhat of an old musty smell to it. Just something to know before booking. The AC worked, but again old house tall ceilings so it doesn’t get super cool inside. If you are a light sleeper and someone with kids is staying above you, you will hear them lol. 11pm and they were running back and forth up there.
One other thing to add, it is all street parking with meters. Thought this would an issue on a holiday weekend, but we never had a problem parking right in front of the house. Meters are pretty cheap too for the days you do have to pay, and I highly recommend getting the parking app.

This has been a return stay at The Wilkes House. We had a couple with us that had never been to Savannah and we had a wonderful time. Visited River Street,went to Lighthouse at Tybee Island, Savannah carriage ride, Mercer House tour, Cathedral tour, Georgia Queen boat trip and of course our favorite was our lunch at the Wilkes Restaurant. The first time I ate at Wilkes (over 20 yrs ago), I was priviledged to have Mrs Wilkes personally sign our cookbook. It was exciting to see that Ryan (the grandson) has continued the family tradition. Our stay at the home was great. We walked a few blocks to Clary's evey morning and had breakfast. It is true, JONES ST, is the most beautiful street in America.

It was everything we hoped for! Convenient and within walking distance to shops, restaurants and parks. Free lunch offered at Mrs. Wilkes diner was an amazing perk and Lao worth the wait! The house had plenty of room, and 1 .5 baths, not to mention located in THE prettiest street in Savannah!!!

Could not have asked for a better stay. The Wilkes House was just enough for my family. Your booking agent was very easy to work with and was very helpful. We did not get to eat at the restaurant because it is closed on weekends and was closed for the holiday. Would definitely recommend and book again with y’all

It was beautiful. 107 was gorgeous. It had everything one could want for a stay in Savannah. When you advised us to get a parking pass, that was good advice. It made parking easier. When we arrived to the door a nice young man helped us unlock and enter the building. Later we found out he was Mrs Wilkes great grandson. We also met Marcia and she asked how we liked the room and did I see her wedding picture. She signed my cookbook. It was so exciting going down the back stairs, then going through the kitchen where wonders were happening and joining the “regulars” for the most delicious lunch ever. In leaving we forgot to put the key back in the box which we mailed back but maybe an extra mention at checkout about the key like, “ Did you return the key to the lockbox?” Not sure if this would have helped this old couple though. I am recommending this experience to everyone I know who has Savannah on their bucket list. I even wrote a poem about it! Thanks again. Diane

On my last visit to Savannah I took a photo of a building on the most beautiful street I had ever seen. Imagine my surprise when, a year later, I discovered that we could actually stay here. The apartment is comfortable and nicely decorated. It feels like you are staying in a friend's home. The location is unbeatable.

The home was exactly as described. It was very cozy. There was a funky smell but we got use to it. The restaurant mouse from downstairs didn’t bother us at all. It was only open from 11 to 2 so we were gone the majority of the day. Parking wasn’t even a problem.

The property was clean, beautiful, and in a great location to walk most anywhere. There are an abundance of restaurants near yet our hands down favorite was Mrs Wilkes downstairs.
We had a wonderful stay with no issues or complaints at all. We highly recommend.
