We could not have imagined a better place to stay during our visit to Savannah! The house was perfect in every way. The location, the amenities, the prompt responses from Charles when we had a question, and the decor and feel of the house was authentic to this historical city.
We highly recommend this place! It’s in walking distance to everything. The neighborhood felt incredibly safe when walking home late at night, which was so nice when visiting a new place.
Thank you to Charles, you helped make this one of our favorite cities to visit!!

Quaint lovely home decorated beautifully. A very fun place and close to the River market area and the Hop On Hop Off Trolley stops. We stopped by the Bryan Street parking garage and bought a parking pass good for all the days of our stay. Parked in front of the house and never moved the car. Bought the 2 day Trolley pass and used that for our transportation.
Highly recommend this house. Charles was always available and a gem.

This was our second stay in Savannah and by far the best The cottage was perfect. Very clean, the host contacted us the first night to make sure everything was okay and to not hesitate if we needed them, and everything was there for our use. We were allowed to bring our pups and the square/park was two houses down and that was wonderful. The house is within walking distance of everything and we left the car parked outside the house the entire time. We would stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place.

The Captain’s Cottage property was clean, had all the amenities one would need for a stay, and was centrally located within walking distance to much of what Savannah has to offer. Granted, we like to walk and explore (aka grab cocktails) as we go - but we walked down through and past Forsyth Park to 40th St without issue.
Charles was responsive with all communications and reached out to ensure we were enjoying our stay.
When we decide to revisit Savannah I will undoubtedly be looking into again staying at The Captain’s Cottage.

I stayed here three nights with my husband and my parents for my graduation ceremony in Savannah. Based on the reviews, I had high expectations, and the property exceeded my expectations! I was surprised by how spacious the house is; the photos gave me the impression that it would be smaller. It also felt MUCH cleaner than any hotel, and we all felt incredibly comfortable staying there.
It is in a great location - we never drove anywhere (outside of the graduation). I brought my small dog, and the area was perfect to walk her in. Plenty of green space close by. Charles checked in periodically and was responsive. We would absolutely come back!

The host is amazing !!! The property was fully stocked and a great location. All of our questions were answered immediately. The house had such a taste of old south. Do not miss a stay here.

Let me first start off saying that Charles is a fabulous host! He checked on us to make sure things were ok and if we needed anything. He was fast to respond to any questions we had. The house was wonderful and the decor was with the time period of the house. The house was spacious for us 5 and extremely clean, great beds and plenty of hot water! The kitchen, though we did not cook, is full of anything you would need to prepare meals. Cabinet was stocked with coffee, filters, sugar and sugar substitutes, not the hotel size but full size (thank you) and the mugs in the freezer were a welcome treat! The neighborhood is very quiet, beautiful square at end of block and Pirates House at other end of block. We walked home after midnight and felt very safe. Location is superb! Close to restaurants, bars, City Market, River front, museums, it had it all! We actually saw the Christmas parade located a short walk from the house, that was amazing! The weather was perfect, had to run the AC! It was a great time with family. I would recommend the Captain's Cottage to anyone! And one more item, there is minimal that you have to do to check out just pack your personal items and walk out the door!! Thanks Charles for a fantastic time.

The communication with the host was stellar. As we were on the road, the host contacted us about an issue with a window blind and it was fully repaired before we arrived. The house is small, but the two bathroom, two bedroom structure was just right for the three of us and our little Havanese. We appreciated it being dog friendly. The location is great, as it is not far from the river walk and other popular places. it has modern amenities and old world charm. We would definitely stay here again!

My family and I all felt so comfortable at the Cottage. Charles checked in w us and was there to answer each and every question I had. The cottage was immaculate, and well equipped-down to the frozen beer glasses in the freezer and q tips in the bathroom. The location is perfect and within a 15 minute walk to anywhere you want to go. The she-crab soup at the Pirate House is a MUST HAVE.
We will absolutely stay in this beautiful home on our next trip to Savannah.

We spent a long weekend in Savannah and really enjoyed staying at Captains Cottage. The house had a great location and was perfect for our stay. We somehow managed to leave a pair of shoes and Charles was kind enough to mail them to us. If we were back in the area we would definitely stay here again.

The cottage was well-kept and clean. Charles was very communicative and checked in often. The cottage is well stocked with pots, pans, and dishes. The location of the cottage is just minute's walk from most places in the historic district. It is a beautiful area! We parked our car for the entire trip. We had a wonderful time! We took our tiny dog on walks everywhere. Just wonderful! We can not wait to visit again.

We stayed at the Captain's Cottage while visiting Savannah for our nephew's wedding. The location of this cottage is perfect. The decor and warm charm made us feel at home the moment we walked through the door. The neighborhood itself felt as if we were in a perfectly illustrated southern magazine with oaks and gardens everywhere. All of the shops and restaurants were within a safe walking distance and parking was easy! To top it all off, we enjoyed a storybook wedding with family. A Perfect Weekend!!! Thank you!!!

We really enjoyed our trip to Savannah. The house is a beautiful and updated older home. Very comfy and cozy and clean. We were able to park our car and walk to shopping and restaurants.

Thank you.

Can't say enough good things about the house, location and overall experience. We do a lot of VRBO rentals and this one is at the top. Charles was constantly in communication, didn't need to reach out to him, he was reaching out to us before, during and after our stay. The location in the historical district is perfect to walk to restaurants, bars or just stroll around Savannah and the Riverwalk. The house itself is beautiful, well taken care of, decorated so cute, so quaint. The house and overall experience has set the bar high for future Savannah visits. We will definitely return!

Everything was fantastic from start to finish! Charles was an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and then some! He was responsive to questions. This lovely home was the perfect combination of historic charm and modern convenience. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Cleanliness, and ease of check in/check out set this property apart. The location was perfect. It was an easy walk to all the spots we wanted to visit and the street was nice and quiet at night. We would definitely book this property again!
