It is important to note that in Downtown Savannah the homes are very close together and full time residents do live next to the vacation rental homes. In order to respect your neighbors we ask for 'quiet hours' after 10pm. This simply means turn down your music and refrain from shouting, congregating outdoors, etc. Remember when you are on the porches or dropped off by taxi late night you can be heard very well by the surrounding residents. Thank you for your respect and understanding. Drunken, loud, or obnoxious behavior simple will not be tolerated.

Sisters Trip

The Janie was absolutely stunning! From the beautifully curated decor, to the absolute cleanliness of the house, it was the perfect stay. We had everything we needed ... plentiful towels, a refrigerator with an ICE MAKER, large beds and bedrooms, multiple TVs, and a fully equipped coffee maker. The courtyard was the perfect area to have our morning coffee (or mimosa) and our evening cocktails. We felt very safe with the tall privacy fence. Additionally, the location was perfect. We were walking distance to Forsyth Park, but far enough away from the busy riverfront to avoid loud tourist traffic. Carmen the owner was wonderfully communicative and helpful; she made the check in and out process easy and seamless. I even had the pleasure of a chance meeting with her, and she was completely charming! 10/10 and I would definitely rebook The Janie if we visit Savannah again.

Savannah Birthday

Absolutely PERFECT! my family and I traveled here for a mini family gathering to celebrate my birthday. The VRBO was clean, beautiful, and all house accommodations was as expected or better. Easy to check in, nice welcome touches (water birthday sign, fresh flowers, local map, etc..), clean, updated yet so much character, comfy beds, location was easy to get all around Savannah...perfect for our family of 10!

Family of Six Loved it!

From the very start, our wonderful Host Miss Carmen was so great at communicating with me and giving me her full attention, while sharing the history of the home, which made it so exciting for all of us! This trip was special, I chaperoned my 4 Aunts and 1 uncle, ages ranging from 66 to 84 years of age who made the trip to Florida from Arizona, and I drove them all down to Beautiful Savannah! When we arrived we were so highly impressed and felt like we all walked back into time! The only thing that was a little disappointing was the front steps to a very busy street, so not much time spent on the front porch....BUT the backyard relaxing patio made up for it!! It was very private and I LOVED the fact that I had my own parking spot, two to be exact, but we only needed 1! So close to the main downtown area, only took about 5 minutes to drive to the main strip of Savannah, so not inconvenient at all, also really felt the price was fair for the stay. The stairs up to the bedroom are very very sturdy for I was a bit worried about my aunts who need assistance walking and such, but they did just fine with help and we enjoyed our beautiful bedrooms upstairs and all of us slept so comfortably! No complaints!! Loved our stay, thank you Carmen for all the love! Hope to come back and stay again in the future, God willing.

Great place

My family and I stayed one night while traveling. The owners were very nice and responsive. They left a personalized table display for the family. The house was extremely clean and in a great location. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jon and Carmen

Savannah is our passion. We have a love of her history, her architecture, her people, culture, and lifestyle. We have lived in Downtown Savannah for over 20 years transforming ourselves from renters, to homeowners, to full-time property managers to the more than a dozen historic properties we have been so fortunate to preserve. We have rented a number of our properties over the years to countless corporate and vacationing travelers. We are excited to join the Homeaway/VRBO family to be able to serve you, our guest, every step of the way from initial rental inquiry about our home to completion of your Savannah stay. We look forward to sharing our passion for Savannah and historic homes with you.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful historic home, built in 1891 and nicknamed 'The Janie' for Jane Strous, is one of four majestic Victorian townhomes along Margaret Strous Row in the historic Victorian District. Just a mile walk to the River Front and a few short blocks to the Landmark Historic District, a walker's paradise and mecca for history buffs. The ornate architecture of historic Savannah homes is breathtaking. 'The Janie' maintains so many of her original architectural details that we were in love at first sight. This home is a great example of a classic Savannah Victorian row house convenient to all that Historic Downtown has to offer!

What makes this property unique

The size of this house will allow larger parties to comfortably vacation together and the location allows you to walk to the grocery store (Kroger or Brighter Day) as well as restaurants and tourist attractions. The designated free parking is highly sought after as well.
