About this house rental

This spacious 5BR estate was designed in 1890 by Hyman Witcover (architect of Savannah’s beautiful gold-domed City Hall) for prominent Savannah native, Simon P. Kehoe. Simon was the son of William Kehoe, beloved citizen and founder of The Kehoe Iron Works. After undergoing an expansive restoration, ‘The Simon’ offers a one-of-a-kind Savannah experience. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of the city’s most well-preserved examples of the Queen Anne Revival architectural style.

THE LOCATION

Located just off of Lafayette Square, The Simon is in the heart of Savannah’s historic district. You’ll find the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the Hamilton-Turner House and the Andrew Low House mere steps from the front porch. Situated right around the corner is Pinkie Masters, McDonough’s, and Hitch. Walk a few squares to the south and find Forsyth Park with nearby coffee shops and a weekly farmer’s market. Less than a half-mile away, explore the SCAD campus or enjoy a show at the Savannah Theater. Architecture buffs can stop by the Davenport House Museum or Owens-Thomas House, then visit Leopold’s Ice Cream for a sweet treat.

KITCHEN & DINING

You’ll find everything you need to prepare delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and high-end cookware. A convenient cocktail and coffee bar includes all the right tools for morning and evening beverages.

Gather for meals at the in-kitchen dining table, the intimate breakfast nook, at the formal dining room with seating for 10, or outside on the porch.

LIVING ROOM

Lounge in the main living area that accommodates your entire group, while unwinding listening to some tunes on the Sonos speaker. The vivid sun-filled parlor overlooks the sprawling front porch and quiet Harris Street. The architectural focal point from the interior is the original tiger oak mantle with ornate columns and intricately carved faces. Dramatic leaded windows in the entry hall cast waves of rainbow prisms into the living area on sunny afternoons.

BED & BATH

Bedrooms are open and airy with high ceilings and tall windows. There are two full baths on the first floor, and two full baths upstairs.

The first-floor primary bedroom is fitted with a plush king bed, en-suite bath with walk-in shower, and access to the very-private side porch.

A lovely staircase leads to the second floor with four guest bedrooms. The second bedroom has the king bed nestled into the beautiful bay window, which is a prime feature of the Queen Anne Revival style. The large bedroom is fitted with the original fireplace and a private dressing nook with full length mirror.

The third bedroom has a king bed, original fireplace, and a beautiful leaded glass window. The cozy fourth bedroom boasts a colorful fireplace and a queen bed.

The roomy second-floor primary has a king bed, en-suite bath, and a view of the Cathedral spire. An adjacent bonus den has a queen sleeper sofa and desk.

OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES

Stroll the sidewalks under the Spanish moss-draped Live Oaks until you find the right spot to linger. Many guests declare their favorite spot in Savannah is The Simon’s wraparound porch.

Reserved parking is available for three vehicles at the back of the house.

We stayed at the Simon for three nights and will definitely be back. House was spacious, well appointed, and incredibly quiet. Covered porch allowed us to sit outside and enjoy our coffee while listening to the morning rain. There’s a tavern on the corner but it never got too rowdy and wasn’t an issue while we were there. One block from Lafayette Sq, Cathedral Basilica of St John the Baptist’s and Treylor Hitch (a good brunch spot). Downtown is a 10-15 minute walk depending on where you’re going. If you’re planning on site seeing get the Hop On Hop Off tickets, you will be dropped off steps from the house. This is a great house for families who want to enjoy everything Savannah has to offer.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing stay at the Simon in Savannah, Georgia! The location was perfect—within walking distance to Forsyth Park, City Market, and an abundance of shopping and restaurants. The front porch quickly became one of our favorite spots, whether we were enjoying wine in the evening or coffee in the morning. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the spacious rooms made it easy for our family of 10 to spread out and feel at home. We especially loved gathering in the large dining room for family dinners. The TVs offered a great variety of entertainment options as well, making our evenings cozy and relaxing. Highly recommend this home for anyone visiting Savannah!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay was for 10 family members to be together during a long weekend including memorial services for a family member. The home was warm and perfectly located for walking to our church, reception venue and great local coffee shops. The living room and porch, dining room and kitchen were well equipped and made sharing meals with extended family and friends easy and comfortable.

Beautiful historic home for a family of 8 to comfortably stay. House had everything we needed for the week. 2 bedrooms have en suites and 2 other bathrooms for the other 3 bedrooms to share. Washer/dryer was so handy. Beds were comfortable. Parking for 3 cars behind the home. Nice porch to have your morning coffee, the front door lock can be a bit tricky but that’s an old home for you. The house was nicely situated in the city to walk wherever you need. Only used the car once to go to Tybee Island. Overall wonderful experience and would recommend.

The Simon is a really special stay. We had our family there for a week and couldn't have had a nicer time. The house is beautiful, very well appointed, very comfortable, with charm galore. Beds were comfy, towels fresh and new, plenty of toiletries and other stuff to start your stay. We spent every morning and evening on the porch. Dedicated 2+ parking in the back of the house is a very welcome addition to a city that is a nightmare to park in. Pinkie Masters next door has cheap PBR's. Overall, A++ stay.

We had six people staying at the Simon, which had more than enough room for all of us. The beds were comfortable, The porch in the front was gorgeous and very welcoming. The kitchen had all the appliances and cookware needed for making breakfast and so much barware and dinnerware! You could host a party there! Located in historical district very close to the Basilica and gorgeous park. We could walk to our venue location easily since we were there for a concert. We had an issue getting into the house with our code, but I could immediately get in touch with the rental office and received a new code. Otherwise, no other problems during our stay.
