Space

This home was built at the turn of the century and combined the popular federal design with aspects of antebellum and colonial styles. Beautifully kept through the years, the home still features original wood flooring, an original fireplace, and original hand-crafted crown modeling. Built on the grounds of the original Trustees’ Garden, this historic area of Savannah has played a significant role in Savannah’s history. First as an experimental garden, then as various military forts and Ironworks, and now as an incredible combination of beautiful venues. You are genuinely staying atop Savannah’s history with a stay at the Portside Retreat.
Take the cobblestone sidewalks to the main structure's private entrance on the north side. Enter at street level and step into a small foyer that connects to a curtain-separated den and opens directly to the main living room. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a preserved fireplace bring you into Savannah’s rich past. The area has a new oversized sofa, smart TV ready for streaming, and a reading chase. The couch pulls out into a full mattress, with linens providing additional sleeping space. Enjoy a collection of literature found on the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf.
Separated from the living and foyer with a high ceiling draw curtain is the den configured with a new single bed, fresh linens, and a nightstand providing a perfect single-person sleeping space.
Off the living room, the door on the right leads to a galley kitchen with all new appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast nook with bench seating. The kitchen is fully appointed with everything you need to cook during your stay, including small appliances, utensils, dishware, pots, and pans. See our complete amenity list for everything included.
To the left of the kitchen is the home’s ensuite featuring a private bathroom. A brand-new mattress wrapped in crisp linens provides a restful night's sleep, and stylish décor is accented by an abundance of natural light pouring in from the large window.
The bathroom has a new vanity, toilet, and shower/tub combination. Find all the essentials, including toilet paper, towels, body wash, shampoo, and a hair dryer.

The Neighborhood

Located on the east side of the Historic District- North, The Portside Retreat puts you minutes from the Savannah River Walk, Kehoe Iron Works at Trustees’ Garden, and incredible dining and entertainment.
Travel two doors down to Savannah’s oldest standing structure at the Pirate House. Walk inside the historic inn to grab delicious American eats with a pirate theme and southern flare.
Enjoy excellent dining options by heading towards the riverwalk and stopping into The Olde Pink House for fine southern dining. Grab some laid-back bites and brews at Spanky’s Pizza Galley & Saloon. Enjoy delicious southern dining with a river view at Huey’s or Vic’s on the River.

Beautiful stay and felt right at home. I had an amazing New Year’s Eve in Savannah and this home made sure it was just perfect. I was very happy with everything provided and the house was a good price as well. I’ve already recommended this place to several family members and highly suggest you staying here. Will gladly come again for st Patrick’s day

This was probably one of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had in a long time. The place was clean, had plenty of linens (including separate ones for makeup). The place also felt less busy than several others - everything was tucked away, but within reach. There were games, a stocked kitchen, etc. Overall this was a memorable stay for me and my family, including an 8 month old who enjoyed every moment - super convenient to the rest of Savannah!!!

This was our second stay at this location. We love this area. The kitchen had everything you needed. We made our Christmas turkey dinner,and everything we needed was there. Brandon and Chase were always available if we had any questions. They offer many suggestions of things to do. We highly recommend them.

Brandon and Chase are the best hosts in Savannah! We’ve been here multiple times and everytime we book a stay we look only for places hosted by them. They don’t cut any corners. All properties are extremely clean, comfortable beds, and has every necessity needed. Definitely worth every penny! Thank you for everything Brandon and Chase!

This is a really nice place to stay. Loved the house. It looks just like the photos. Very clean!! In walking distance to the river walk and other stores/restaurants. The owners communicated everything really clear. Would love to stay here again.

I have no complaints about our stay here! The location was absolutely perfect - I can't say enough about that. We walked everywhere and felt right in the middle of everything. It was so easy to navigate the city from this location. I would definitely stay here again for that reason alone. However, even though it felt very central, it still felt extremely quiet and peaceful when we were at the home. The home was very clean, comfortable and quaint! Exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for having us!

Beautiful space with everything I could have needed! Bonus private little back porch with rocking chairs was so sweet. My stay couldn't have been better.
