Description

Looking for that true front-porch-rocking chair experience of the South? The Grand Porch Oasis has you covered! Grab that sweet tea on ice (or maybe a mojito) and head out to the balcony overlooking the beautiful and historic Oglethorpe Avenue. This location has a 97 Walk Score, the absolute perfect central location to be in Savannah. Only short blocks to some of the best restaurants and shops that the City has to offer, including The Collins Quarter, Husk, Flying Monk, Cup to Cup Coffee, Public Kitchen & Bar, and so much more. We are surrounded by museums, historic homes, haunted inns and all things Savannah! This cozy, light-filled historic Ywca condo was just remodeled at the end of 2021 and serves you with high-speed WiFi, a smart TV, Keurig coffee maker and a fully-equipped kitchen. The renovation spared the gorgeous original floors and stunning balcony, yet offers the modern amenities that we can't live without. The Queen bedroom has plenty of closet and storage space with tall windows letting plenty of morning sun in when needed. The twin bedroom has private access to the balcony via the French doors so you can take in the night breeze without disturbing the others. The modern bathroom is covered in beautiful title and offers a sliding glass door. You absolutely don't want to miss out on this location and stunning condo. SVR-02488

Space

Gorgeous original maple flooring, extremely high ceilings, pronounced trim and other historic features take you back in time where sipping sweet tea over good conversation was a common routine. We have a fully-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, laundry closet for washing/drying your clothes and plenty of seating space. We have a full table set in case you want to show off your culinary skills and have a formal sit-down meal. The cozy living room gets tons of light from the huge windows and French doors, so you can have a sunny morning breakfast to start the day off right! The twin room is a nice additional space for those with a child or maybe just a third-wheeler :) Easy to "work from home" with the high-speed Wi-Fi and plenty of table space to set up at.

The Neighborhood

We are located at Oglethorpe and Whitaker, an absolute prime location. You are walking distance to EVERYTHING. That said, if you're bringing a car, we suggest parking in the Robinson Parking garage which is only a few blocks from the condo. You may park out front also but it is metered, and sometimes hard to find a space. It is free on Sundays. We are surrounded by some of the best local restaurants in town and only a short walk to River Street, Bay Street and City Market. You really don't even need an Uber/Lyft at this location, walking is so easy from here :)

Getting around

Again, walking can easily be your first choice. Aside from that, there is a FREE trolley bus called the DOT shuttle that takes you all arounf the historic district. There is a stop just two blocks down at Whitaker and Liberty St. This is a nice way to get a good view of the City and have an easy hop-on-ho-off option that's free. Another free option is The Downtowner, which is an app like Uber/Lyft but ran by the City and completely free! It runs 10am-midnight daily. If you do need to bring a car, we suggest the "leave it and forget it" option - just park it in the garage and don't pick it up until it's time to leave.

Guest Access

You have 24/7 access to the entire condo, make yourself at home! being on the first floor, you can walk up the front steps and access your unit with ease. The balcony is totally private to you and your group. It is actually the only balcony in the condo building that is occupied. You have access to the rear courtyard which is shared with the condo building. There is a charcoal BBQ grill and plenty of outdoor seating back there. This is the only place you may smoke. There is a storage space in the lobby where folks keep their bikes should you want to bring yours, or leave your luggage while you go explore if you're waiting on a later flight out.

Interaction

We are available to guests via mobile Monday-Friday 9am-9pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am-8pm. We don't live far so if you should need anything or have any issues, just let us know.
If you have any emergencies call 911.

Other things to note

The condo building is mostly long-term residents so please respect your neighbors and keep your inside voices on. "Quiet hours" are from 10pm-8am. Please be a courteous guest and help us show the City of Savannah how important you all are to us!

My wife and I came to Savannah to visit all of the historical sights and parks (as well as the plant riverside district, since we came in December). We got that and a VERY clean and modern stay. The hosts are responsive and accommodating.

We had a wonderful stay at The Grand Porch. Brandon and Chase were very quick to respond and very accommodating. The street is noisy at night, but nothing a sound machine (conveniently provided in both bedrooms) couldn’t drown out. Our 7 mo slept through the night with no issues. We would definitely stay again!

Brandon and Chase were amazing hosts! Very helpful, responsive. The space was so adorable - cute old building, decorated beautifully, super clean, the porch was so cute to sit and have coffee. It is literally walkable to everything. Location Location Location. There is a lot of street noise at night - but we kind of overlooked that. We lucked out and got street parking right in front. We would definitely stay again!

The shower water took a long time to drain, stood in 2 inches of water the entire shower. The windows need to be updated to help with the outside sounds. Due to the outside sounds, even with ear plugs and a sound machine we could hear everything down to people talking on their phone who were just walking by and various loud sounds all night long. Outlets in the living room were outdated, phone chargers would fall out of the wall. The highlight was the porch and the location, we hoped for a better experience overall.

Great location in a beautiful part of downtown Savannah. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go! The only downside was the street noise. It was hard to enjoy the balcony because of the traffic noise, since the road is literally right below the balcony. And while the hosts provided earplugs and noise machines in the bedrooms, the noise was pretty overwhelming when trying to sleep. The next time we visit Savannah, we'll book a rental on a side street in order to get away from the traffic noise. Other than that, it was a pretty nice rental.

Brandon and Chase’a place is really nice. Perfect location for walking everywhere in town, and beds were incredibly comfortable. Do be aware that the location is on a busy street with lots of traffic noise at night, but I slept with my AirPods in and it wasn’t a problem for me. The actually apartment was peaceful inside and had all the amenities you need!
