Space

Original in 1868, the Liberty House was the second home on East Liberty Street built for John Hernandez. Listed in Savannah’s city directories as a confectioner from St. Augustine, Florida, Mr. Hernandez is believed to have raised his family of four children in the home before selling the property in retirement. Since its construction, this authentic Savannah townhome has been meticulously cared for boasting original stone fireplaces, stair banisters, hard oak flooring, and incredible custom trim work.
Enter the property one of two ways, either from the ascending staircase on Liberty Street or through the private off-street parking at the rear of the property. As you enter the townhome you will be immediately awestruck by the preserved colonial past that is captured throughout the home. In the front of the home, you will find the formal living room with floor-to-ceiling windows, an original fireplace, high ceilings, and William and Mary furniture. Directly off this space is the formal dining room with a large hardwood dining table set for 6, a colonial-inspired chandelier, and stunning built-in bookshelves.
Along the main hallway connecting the townhome from front to back find the main floor powder room along with beautiful artwork. Follow the hallway to the rear of the property where a modernized gourmet galley kitchen awaits you. This fully appointed kitchen boasts high-end appliances, stone countertops, custom cabinetry, and a butler’s nook. Find everything you need to cook delicious meals including cooking utensils, pots, pans, and dishware. A microwave and a coffee maker are provided.
Directly off the kitchen is the den presenting a comfortable sofa, chairs, and smart TV perfect for all your streaming needs. Step out on the back terrace and follow the staircase down to the shared garden patio. The ample room allows you to spread out and enjoy beautiful Savannah mornings and evenings under the shade of live oak trees, cathedral spires, and high privacy walls.
On the third level of the building find the two private bedrooms. In the master suite enjoy a brand-new king mattress, personal fireplace wrapped in granite, closet and dresser storage, and shuttered windows original to the home. The second bedroom features a new queen mattress, fireplace, and closet and dresser storage. Both private bedrooms feature their own bathrooms, well-appointed with everything you need from bath towels, hand towels, shampoo, and body wash.
Working remotely during your stay? The townhome has ample desk space and high-speed WIFI perfect for video conferencing and multi-tasking.

Getting around

There is a FREE shuttle that picks up just 2 blocks away at Drayton St. and Perry St.. This will take you up and down the Historic District and can drop you off at City Market. Otherwise we recommend using Uber/Lyft as parking around town can be pretty chaotic and is usually less than $5 to get anywhere. There is also a free City "uber" called The Downtowner. You can download the app on your phone and get picked up for free as well :)

Guest Access

You may access the entire parlor level and the outdoor courtyard space past the bottom of the stairs. The outdoor courtyard is the only shared space between you and the ground floor unit. The green dining set below the staircase is for the downstairs unit, and the larger black table and fire pit is for your use.

We absolutely loved our stay at this Airbnb! It completely embodied classic Savannah interior design, with beautiful antiques that are thoughtfully placed and decorated. High quality furniture and linens, and the place was spotless. Easily the cleanest Airbnb I’ve stayed in. I will look for this place next time I come back to Savannah!

We were very happy with this property. It’s less than five minutes’ walk from Gallery Espresso, our go-to morning spot, and there are many other great businesses and beautiful historic homes close at hand. The rear parking and gated patio are nice, and we liked having a two-level unit (although we found, unsurprisingly, that the top floor is hard to cool with the first floor being quite cold). The decor was nice with what we consider a typical historic Savannah feel—much preferred over the many places that try to look like an HGTV project devoid of any character. Kudos to the hosts for resisting bland and colorless modernity.

Charming home in a great central location. It's an older house, but it's comfortable, fairly well maintained, and had all the amenities we needed. Some reviews mention street noise. We used white noise while sleeping and found it largerly to be a non-issue. One thing future guests should know is that, although the listing appears to be hosted by "Brandon & Chase," it's actually managed by a property management company. That felt a bit misleading and made the experience less personal. The automated check-in and check-out messages were clear and helpful. However, communication beyond those messages was disappointing. We had a pre-trip question that wasn't answered until my wife followed up, and a question during our stay never received a response. Fortunately, we didn't have any serious issues, because based on our experience, I'm not confident an urgent problem would have been handled as promptly as expected. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

The space is very well decorated and in a good location as described. The beds are very comfortable. There are plenty of linens to use. We had some problems with amenities, but overall, it was a fine stay.

We enjoyed our 3-day visit to Savannah. The house is a gem, complete with a very functional kitchen, well-appointed decor, and a feeling of being a guest in a unique and comfortable home. Parking is easy.

Absolutely fantastic location with a true Savannah feel. The decor complimented the architecture. We were quite comfortable during our stay, I wish that it was available for our next stay in May !

This is one of our favorite rentals: charming details, walkable location, and transportive interior. We loved exploring the city by day and retreating to the cozy, candlelit spaces. A perfect home for friends reuniting for shared laughs and connection in a truly beautiful home.
