Experience classic Southern charm at The Grand Porch Oasis!

This light-filled, renovated historic condo features fast WiFi, Smart TV, Keurig, full kitchen, original hardwood floors, and modern comforts in the heart of downtown Savannah. 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!

I absolutely loved my stay here! This vacation rental is spacious, clean, filled with lots of light, and the beds are so comfortable. The curtains are wonderful for privacy as well as temperature control. And the front porch is absolutely fantastic. I definitely intend to return because I loved my time here so much! Although I had a rental car, everything in this area is very walkable. Plus, if you wake up hungry in the middle of the night, you're right around the corner from Parker’s, which is open 24/7. I also loved this block because you could hear all the bells around town. When I was a SCAD student, I would drive by this building every week on my way home and see an adorable Labrador hanging out on the porch. I was always so curious because it looked like such an incredible lookout. Being able to finally experience the porch myself felt like a full-circle moment. Thank you to my hosts! Until next time…

Great place for a couple or small family, perfect location. Just far away from busy nightlife area but still only a five minute walk. Very central to everything, comfortable place and the patio with the rocking shares was my favorite to just sit and people watch.

Great location, walkability to all the best of Savannah. Very clean, free of clutter, classy and decorative in a way that felt both fresh and at home. Noise from the street is there but a small noise machine canceled it out. Absolutely loved rocking in the chairs on the porch and appreciated the water pitcher in the refrigerator. Busy, urban street but felt safe and clean and loved the ease of getting anywhere we wanted on foot. We found parking on the street, and on the weekend didn’t have to pay at all.

It was perfect! Stayed there on a business trip and the space was great. The best feature is the long deck which was great to sit out on in the morning with coffee!
