My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this vacation rental. The kitchen was well equipped and the large refrigerator allowed us to store our food items for our stay with room to spare!
The rental was easy to find. There was easy access to pay to park ... parking spaces. I loved using the app to pay... so we didn’t have to worry about going out in the cold. It was very clean upon arrival .
Loved the privacy!
The staff were very accommodating.... Very polite and accessible for questions we had. Very thankful for them bringing additional towels/ wash cloths when needed! They even brought us a can opener upon our request. Will recommend this rental to any couple visiting the Savannah historical district!

This rental was perfect! It was roomy and cozy, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Nights were quiet, bed was extremely comfortable, showers were clean, and air conditioners on both floors were quiet and worked well. The courtyard and balcony were beautiful places to enjoy a cup of coffee or eat dinner leftovers. Forsyth Park was a block away so we visited often to enjoy a view of the fountain, the Sunday Farmers Market, and receive palm roses from street vender, Will. We felt safe because someone was always around walking their dog or jogging. Location is across the street from the Mercer Williams House Museum, a few blocks from great coffee - Origin Coffee Bar, best coffee I ever had! and the Sentient Bean. We walked most of the time, used free DOT bus and free ferry, and Uber to places farther away like Tybee Beach. Highly recommend this rental for a relaxing and memorable stay in Savannah!

My wife and I stayed for a few nights to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary and could not have happier with our selection of this property. We walked everywhere and even though the River front was a quite few blocks away, it was easy as there were so many squares on the way to explore. Savannah is truly an outdoor museum with so much to see. Highly recommended.

My wife and I planned to spend our 40th anniversary in Savannah. After reading several reviews online we decided on 443 Whitaker Lane. The area was perfect, one block from Forsyth Park and really close to many of the Historic homes. We found the property without issue. Entering through the gate (had to jiggle the key) entering the courtyard was really nice (area with the patio above was nice in the rain) The apartment was directly on our left but required following the path around to the entry door. (Again jiggle the key) the apartment was really nice and had that new old theme down pat. Upstairs large bedroom and bath were really nice and the kin size bed was the most comfortable we have had while traveling. Although there were manors that shared the courtyard (we saw them at a distance),really the apartment was like our own private getaway. We sat on the upstairs balcony in the mornings and had coffee while enjoying the treetop view of the courtyard, the street and the breeze. The AC was a little loud but not terrible (most mini split units seem to have fan noise) and did keep our room comfortable. We cooked our breakfast every morning and the kitchen seemed well stocked. Overall we had a wonderful trip and look forward to our return to Savannah and hopefully Whitaker Street next year.

The place was prefect for the 2 of us. Comfy bed, huge rainfall shower, and the courtyard area was a great place to sit and have coffee or wine. The staff was super friendly and helped with all our questions and requests.

A great hidden and private space that has been nicely renovated. Just like the other reviews have mentioned. We plan on returning to it next year too. Also, easy street parking on Gordon St. during our stay during Christmas holidays when Savannah is pretty busy.

The bed was super comfortable, and the entire unit was awesome. Loved the second floor balcony, as well as the doors opening up to the private courtyard. Loved that it was surrounded by a wall and our own door to get in. Very private, very safe. Parking on the street turned out to be no problem at all.

This property is perfectly located in historic savannah. Easy walking distance to great restaurants and most historic sites. The restoration of this unit was very well done with upscale finishes and classic design. Im a builder and appreciate what they did here. The bedroom suite is fabulous with lots of space and great bathroom. Kitchen has newer but used appliances and is pretty well equipped. There are a couple of quirky issues that may or may not be important to renters. The HVAC systems has two split units and the one upstairs was not working so they had a portable unit vented through the window. Downstairs unit was a bit load. The property is on a busy street so there is some street noise for lite sleepers. For some reason non of the kitchen cabinets had shelves limiting pantry storage and two cabinet door panels missing. I'd strongly recommend the owner correct these issues resulting in a completely amazing property. I'd also add a broom or vac and upscale the paper products. There were no coat hangers when we arrived but Luicky Savannah responded quickly with some. Overall very pleased with this VRBO and would rent it again.

We really enjoyed staying in this rental. It has a lot of character yet nicely remodeled. As others have mentioned, the AC unit upstairs is quite noisy, but the white noise machine we take everywhere helped to drown it out. We enjoyed sitting on the upstairs balcony which overlooks the courtyard. The location is great. There is so much to see and do in this area.

This is a wonderful property. An 1850's home that's been tastefully updated, and an ideal choice for a couple. My wife and I loved the contemporary kitchen, stylish bathrooms, and icy air conditioning. Gratefully the lovely upgrades do not diminish the home's antebellum charm. The property is flanked by a gorgeous, private garden that gushes with Spanish moss and lush tropicals. You'll be steps away from the Mercer-Williams house and Forsyth Park. If I could change anything about the property, I'd install a washer/dryer. Regardless, this is a splendid home in a truly enchanting city. Highly recommended.

Overall our experience was good. The location was perfect for us. We loved the balcony. Both bathrooms are recently updated and nice. A few things - The mini split a/c units were annoying. They are loud and the remotes are confusing. Not sure if they were pre-programmed. The upstairs was consistently warm no matter what we did. The downstairs was consistently cold. . The gate and home entrance locks were very temperamental. The road is fairly busy, all hours of the night. Overall, our experience was good and we liked the home.

We went to Savannah on our honeymoon and we never wanted to leave! This gorgeous rental was everything we could have dreamed about. I did seem like there something being replaced during our stay but otherwise we loved the old charm and split level. The door getting into the house was tricky but other than that we loved it and would definitely stay there again!

We absolutely loved our location. It’s right across from Forsyth Park in the historic district. The courtyard was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. The house was just the right size for my husband and I, but definitely wouldn’t be enough room if we brought our kids.
As a couple who is in the real estate business we could nitpick on the home more than most. So, the only negative worth mentioning was we felt like the home could have used a deep clean and the AC units were pretty noisy. However, this won’t stop us from staying there again.

My husband and I took a four day weekend getaway to Savannah. This place is perfect for two. It’s nestled away behind an old wooden gate and concrete wall which reminds me much of the movie The Secret Garden. It’s close to everything downtown which made it easy to get around. Parking is hit or miss. We were fortunate to find street parking each night and parked in garages during the day while we toured Savannah. If I had to make any suggestions it would be to change the AC/heat units because they do make quite a noise when they kick on. Also, none of the doors have curtains or blinds so folks outside who live across the the garden area can see directly into the living room, kitchen, and bedroom upstairs. But it’s such a lovely place and the view of the garden outside with the Spanish moss hanging was fabulous.

We had a great time in Savannah and we really enjoyed staying in this carriage house. It is SO close to Forsyth Park and within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. Two things to note - the court yard you go through to get to your door is a little tricky if you're tipsy and the two air conditioners are quite noisy. The only other things we would suggest are putting a curtain of some kind up over the door to the balcony because you walk right passed it to get to the bathroom and at night someone could see in, putting handles on the inside of the barn doors to the bathrooms (especially the pocket door in the upstairs bathroom), and adding towel hooks for the downstairs bathroom. The rain shower heads in the bathrooms have us now wanting to upgrade ours at home! We would for sure stay here again!

Lovely quiet location right by Forsyth park. It really felt like a gem hidden away. The only two issues are the cleaning solution used was incredibly strong and the smell lasted 2 days. Also both of the AC units were incredibly loud. They made a loud whining sound any time they were on. It's a beautiful stay, but bring your earplugs.

I have stayed in Savannah at several locations and this one was one of my top two. The location and proximity to so many restaurants and sites is the number one draw. The privacy of having your very own carriage house with upper balcony and shared garden space was wonderful. I particularly loved that this had to complete bathrooms. There are a few things I would recommend as changes to the facilities. Number one there are no handles on the inside of the bathroom doors which means you cannot completely close them. Number two there are no hooks or towel racks in the bottom bathroom which means there’s no place to hang a towel to dry your hands or body. There is definitely something wrong with the thermostat on both of the AC units because putting it on 78° was not quite cold enough but turning it down to 76° made it feel like Antarctica - there was no in between. Also, the bottom AC unit dripped and puddled all over the floor but we were able to put buckets and pots underneath it and mopped up the puddles with paper towels. There were sugar ants all over the kitchen but that didn’t bother us all that much. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the space upstairs was so romantic. I also really loved the upstairs bathroom, particularly the shower. I would have preferred if there was a curtain or blinds on the French door upstairs since it was right outside the bathroom and I’m pretty sure we could be seen on the inside while walking past. It also allowed light in in the morning but the rest of the room was dark enough to sleep in. I loved that just steps outside the main door was the public bus transportation and not far from that was a trolley stop. Mrs. Wilkes restaurant was right around the corner as well as several adorable boutique shops. This location is about 0.7 miles from River Street but the walk was lovely. Forsyth Park is only one block south and we enjoyed our time there as well. Overall I would absolutely stay here again in a he

A great location to stay in Savannah! Within a 15 minute walking distance from everything but very private little getaway right in the middle of historic Savannah! Right around the corner is free parking as well making it easy to park and leave your car there for the duration of your stay! Place was very clean and well kept. We loved the modern upgrades while also preserving the historic side of things. Only complaint would have to be the air conditioning is a bit noisy.

I am a CPA and my wife and I came to Savannah for a get away after tax season. Whitaker Lane was a perfect spot for two to stay in Savannah. Secluded, and secure once you located the door to the courtyard. It was right next to the entrance to Forsyth Park which solved the pay to park on street issues. Only needed to move the car a block away no meters. Place was very clean and a perfect location never needed to drive anywhere in Savannah could walk everywhere but were far enough to have quiet. Would recommend this property to all.

My husband and I had not been to Savannah before visiting for a week this Spring.. We found an abundance of good weather, beautiful historic squares and neighborhoods,, tours and museums. The locals were friendly and the food was both delicious and endless. We stayed in the historic area close to Forsyth Park. This was perfect for us because we chose a little quieter area but we were within walking distance to the restaurants and the river walk and downtown Savannah.
The vacation rental was perfect for two people. We also enjoyed the courtyard and outdoor balcony off the upstairs bedroom. We were disappointed that the furniture was stained and rugs also needed a cleaning with visible stains. A little TLC would go a long way to make this property a 5 star.

The pictures for this vacation house were very accurate. The roominess was wonderful and was perfect for both my new husband and me by ourselves and holding the other five members of our wedding party on the day of our wedding at Forsythe Park down the street. The garden is divine and romantic. The road noise during the day can be a bit much but it's on a main thoroughfare so is to be expected. At night it was blissfully quiet. The only complaint was that bed was too soft for my husband (but perfect for me lol) and the kitchen could stand a strainer so that pasta can be cooked easier.

We really enjoyed staying at Whitaker Lane. Great location, great space with plenty of room for two. The bed was also very comfy. Loved the industrial vibe. We did call mgmt. about the outdoor lighting and they were on top of it. Communication was excellent as was check-in and check-out instructions. Plenty of towels, an extra blanket and enough dishes, utensils and cookware for our stay but it could use another large saute pan. We plan on staying here again next time we are in Savannah.

Our second visit to this property- a beautiful courtyard . A two floor renovation of a carriage garage- with outfitted kitchen with everything we needed. Downstairs bathroom is tiny but totally adequate- even has a shower - great use of space. Furniture is simple but comfortable. Upstairs is airy and has an abundance of natural light. A nice spacious sitting area and very comfortable bed. The master bathroom is perfect- great shower with plenty of hot water- all in all a place we will visit again- the only complaint is the heat is provided by ductless heaters up/downstairs that for our visit proved to be unreliable. During our December visit the place was freezing when we arrived and after being fixed (quickly- superb response from mike and John)then 3 nights later it failed again- waking to the house temps in the 50’s. I’m sure they will get that sorted out and otherwise highly recommended .

Overall, this was a very nice place to stay. The property was a fun, renovated carriage house with plenty of space for a couple. The entry through a courtyard was charming, although the pathway was a little more uneven than expected. Overall the unit was kept well, but there were some housekeeping issues in the master bath/shower. Street noise was noticeable, but not a huge distraction. The key benefit to this unit was the location and walkability to local areas, with many cute shops down the street and the Mercer antiques store nearby (for Midnight in the Garden fans). Property management company was quite helpful with information on the local area.

The property is in a good location in terms of being able to walk the various squares, catching the free bus loop and parking. However, it is on a very busy street, with constant traffic noise at all hours of day and night; you have to try really really hard at night to tune it out. The property itself needs just a little TLC and/or final touches, for example: the area rugs are beyond dirty. This has been mentioned in previous reviews yet they look like they have never been cleaned. We never walked barefoot because of this. The main entrance door lock is extremely difficult. I would recommend having the kitchen door be the main entrance way, so you do not have to walk over mislaid bricks that are an accident waiting to happen, and the outside light by the main entrance into the property never went on (and could not find a wall switch to try and turn it on). However, the kitchen entrance doorway does have a light outside that turns on automatically at dust (hummm). Overall, if you do not mind the outside noise, it is a very nice area to stay at.

Things we loved about this rental: The location near Forsyth Park. The balcony overlooking the courtyard. The well stocked kitchen. The fun decor. The oh so comfortable bed.

These three minor annoyances would not keep us from renting it again.

We had a great experience overall. The rental was the perfect size for one couple. It was clean and modern on the inside and had lots of Savannah character on the outside! We loved the shared garden space and sat out on our little porch each night and took in all of the sights and sounds of the city. We ate all of our meals out, but the kitchen was fully stocked had we wanted to dine in. The bed was super comfy and inviting. The cable package was limited, but the a huge deal for us as we spent most of our time out exploring the city. The house was within walking distance of anything you could want to do. A ten minute walk from River street a 20 minute drive to Tybee. You really can’t beat the location! When we arrived we stopped to buy a parking pass for the long weekend but because the house was so close to Gaston street (and all parking is free south of Gaston) we just found some place close by and parked for free. There was an alley directly behind the rental for easy unloading as well. The check in and checkout process couldn’t have been easier. We will definykeep this place in mind for future stays!

We've stayed in this carriage house twice and love the location. It's near Forsythe Park and easy walking distance to a lot of restaurants and shopping, without being in the middle of the heavy tourist area around Broughton and Bay Streets. The home has a lovely private courtyard with a table and chairs. The only drawback for us is the noise. The home sits directly on a very busy street and buses, police, ambulances come by at all hours. I suggest downloading or using a noise cancelling app.

This rental looked bigger in the pictures than it was in person. That being said it was fine for the two of us. We were interested in the design of the rental and were quite pleased with want we found. Some problems we encountered were, the light by the door into the rental did not work. It would have been nice to have light when coming back after dark. We had ants when we checked in, called the rental company and they sent someone over that night to take care of them. He could not figure out how to get the light on. There could be shelves in the cabinets and more than one dish towel. Upstairs there needs to be a curtain for the door leading to the balcony and there should be an instruction manual for the washer/dryer combo. Heating took a little while to figure out and get it set so that it stayed comfortable. On the plus side all the appliances worked and it was great having a large shower, even though it took a long time for water to get to the second floor.The rental was clean when we arrived. It is in a great location making it easy to walk to most places.The rental company was great and answered any question we had.

We loved this home! It is set on a courtyard which is beautiful for having your morning coffee outside. The decor is beautiful and the kitchen was awesome. My favorite part, though, was the rain shower upstairs. So luxurious! Everything was very clean. Our only complaint is that there were a bunch of little sugar ants running around on any furniture that was pushed up against the wall, and also on the bathroom counter. We had to make sure to keep food and drinks away from there.
The location is unbeatable! We were surprised at how close we were to everything downtown. Just a block from Forsyth Park, and a few blocks from all the main dining and shops. We loved walking around and exploring the area. We had a little trouble figuring out which door/lockbox was ours, but we called the customer service line and someone was able to assist us. The only downside to staying downtown is that there was no provided parking, so we had to figure out the metered parking for each day. All in all it was a good stay!

This was our first time to stay over night in Savannah. We were at the carriage house for 3 nights and it was just as advertised. The location was two blocks away from Mercer House and one block from Forsyth Park. The location could not be more perfect for those who want to explore the City. I really only have minor complaints about the property - mainly don't count on doing a load of laundry. This was a terrible little machine. But, If that is all you can say bad - you know it is perfect. Thank you so much.

The apartment is awesome. Has everything you need. A little bit of a walk to the riverfront but this is a reason to visit all the squares and see the houses. Try parking next to the animal hospital two blocks away. We were able to park there for free for four days. Don't expect a hello or a wave from the woman you share the garden common space. Very unfriendly. Stay away from the restaurant Jazz'd. Food was not very good and was expensive. Would stay at this place again no questions asked.

Our stay at the Whitaker Carrage House was wonderful, the space is very much my style, clean, efficient and comfortable.
Having coffe on the balcony off the bedroom was so relaxing. My fiancé thought the bed was one of the most comfortable she had ever slept in. The court yard is beautiful, there is a tree in the center that is so amazing. Forsyth park is less than a block away, It is the most beautiful southern park of all.
I've stayed in many properties in Savannah while visiting my daughter who attends SCAD, all of which were very nice, But the Whitaker home stands out.

They were very efficient and I loved the app. It made things very easy. The noise on the street kept us up at night but that was not anything they could control.Some comfy seats on the balcony would be nice!

Absolutely wonderful accommodations! Perfect location right near Forsyth Park. This is a former carriage house transformed into a wonderful place to stay. It shows vintage details while at the same time mixing contemporary designs. Two large levels with the bedroom on the upper level. Upstairs includes a balcony overlooking a courtyard. Only thing that I would suggest would be a larger coffee pot. We invited another couple over for coffee. The pot can only make 2 cups at a time. We will definitely be back.

Perfect in every way. Loved the proximity to Forsythe Park. We walked pretty much everywhere, but Uber was just a $6 ride from River St.

My wife and I visited Savannah for the first time, for her birthday. The experience of staying in the Historic District in a renovated historic carriage house, was exactly what we wanted. The location and condition of the Whitaker Ln house was great. Perfect for a couple.

Absolute loved staying here - the apartment is exactly as pictured - a beautiful conversion with the most comfortable bed! The location is fantastic - just north of Forsyth Park so really easy to get everywhere on foot. Check in and out was really easy with the Lucky app. Noise was not an issue for us. Would definitely stay here again!

Let me start by saying Brooke of Lucky Savannah goes beyond to help and make you feel comfortable if it was not for her we would of been completely lost. The apartment is a beautiful place nice and comfortable close to the river walk and historic savannah. One bad thing the tv you only have 5 or 6 channels available sometimes you wanna stay in for dinner and watch a nice movie and that is not possible.

The apartment is as pictured. The neighbourhood is quaint and within walking distance of many tourist spots.
As it is a carriage house with no insulation you will hear any noise from the street. It was underequipped with several items necessary for cooking but the property management team is responsive and provided good customer service. I am sure this will be rectified for future guests.

My (new) husband and I live in Tampa, FL so we visit Savannah fairly often - About 2 - 3 times per year. So, we decided to do a long weekend in Savannah (our favorite place) for a short honeymoon. We usually stay in a hotel, sometimes in mid-town to save some $$, but lately we really like staying downtown and it's worth the extra money spent per night for the convenience. When I came across Lucky Savannah, I knew we just had to rent from them! The apartment was exactly as described and pictured. Extremely clean, well-maintained, and we had NO issues with anything. It was about 0.8 miles from River Street, which wasn't even an issue as the weather was amazing and it was a straight walk downtown (and after all the food you eat, the walk is worth it!). I would absolutely recommend Lucky Savannah to anyone, and will absolutely be booking with them again in the future.

Whitaker lane was a great place to stay! About a 15 minute walk to the main streets in Historic Downtown. Would definitely recommend this property and Lucky Savannah rentals!

The plays was so well decorated. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch and watch the traffic go by when it wasn't raining. :/
The only thing I would suggest is putting a house number on the door. When we first walked in the gate we walked up to the other apartments in the court yard.

We had a great wedding weekend and Lucky Savannah was very easy to work with! I highly recommend renting from them. Our photographer, Donna Von Bruening, made the recommendation to use this company, and we're grateful!

This property was very well laid out and made good use of a smaller space. It was almost immaculate, but the rugs do need to be shampooed. The location was great since it's convenient to everything but somewhat tucked away. However, it is right next to a busy street which can be quite noisy due to the traffic and garbage trucks that come by around 7:30 each morning. I would also suggest adding some blinds or curtains for the doors to help decrease the light from the street and cars passing by. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and recommend this property.

Our stay was wonderful-the location was perfect! We walked most of the time and found a free parking space only a block away. We liked the character of the carriage house and the balcony and courtyard were nice in the evening. Dealing with the management was very easy.

Space was clean and had an industrial, minimalist look. The lighting throughout was dim so apartment seemed a little dark. There was not a single picture or any type of art work anywhere. I would suggest maybe some photography or something with a bit of color to brighten up the space. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were nice. There was a combination European washer/dryer which we were unable to figure out. There were no instructions. Even though was no specific parking lot. It wasn't too difficult to find spaces on the streets around the corner. Whitaker street is a major road and was noisy during the day but quieter at night and we had no trouble sleeping. It was a decent place to stay despite the minor problems.

My wife and I spent 4 nights here as a little getaway to celebrate my grduation. I could spend a lot of time raving about this place, but will keep it short and informative.
1. The space is beautiful and well designed. It was very clean. Kitchen is well stocked, but could use a kettle. Only other addition I'd make is a little rug to wipe your feet at the door.
2. The location is perfect: 2 minute walk from Forsyth park, 2 minute walk from local shops, 15-20 minute walk to River St. We walked or biked everywhere we went and loved the convenience.
3. Parking was easy as pie. We parked on Barnard St. South of gaston for free. Never had trouble finding a spot.
4. Must try places near by: eat and have coffee at Collins Quarter, drinks at The Public Kitchen, Shop at One fish Two Fish, lily bay, and Broughton St.
5. Our only complaint was that the AC units didn't seem to be working properly. This was an issue for us because it was old outside, but this may be an issue for those staying on warmer days. I told the management about this and would suspect they'll have it taken care of.

My wife and I had a delightful stay at 443 Whitaker. The property combined a historical exterior with an modern interior making a wonderful experience. The property was in an ideal location, kitty corner from Forsythe park with easy access to downtown.

This charming carriage house was absolutely perfect in every way!!! Location was spot on. A few streets away from the busy/ loud streets of river street. Tucked away in all of the historic, charming Beauty of historic district. Right across from Forysth Park. Can't wait to post our trip on our blog which will highlight this charming savannah Homeaway stay.

This was our 7th stay through Lucky Savannah in the last two years - enough said!
Whitaker Lane is a newly renovated carriage house in the Landmark Historic District exemplifies a masterful re-interpretation of an Old and otherwise overlooked nook into a beautiful pied-à-terre that is emblematic of the New Savannah design aesthetic. The open main floor kitchen and dining area will make you want to eat-in while the upstairs bedroom suite is a sanctuary from activity filled days!
