With a lively arts scene, plenty of cultural attractions and dozens of historical sites, Savannah is the crown jewel of Georgia’s landscape. Located along the Savannah River, the city has something to offer everyone in your travel group, such as Civil War sites for history buffs, museums for art enthusiasts and thousands of acres of open space for people who enjoy spending time outdoors. Staying in a hotel is fine, but it doesn’t give you the opportunity to live like a local. If you want to experience what it is like to live in Savannah full-time, book one of the downtown Savannah rentals managed by Southern Belle. We have just the right place for you to spend all of your historic Savannah vacations.
Park Place: High-End Accommodations in Savannah’s Historic District
Next time you visit Savannah, reserve Park Place, one of our most popular Savannah vacation rentals. The two-bedroom vacation home accommodates up to six guests, making it the ideal place for a family vacation, a romantic getaway or a relaxing trip with friends. Park Place is filled with modern amenities, but it also offers a bird’s-eye view of Savannah’s historic district. When you arrive at the property, you are greeted by a large porch with enough room to relax and enjoy a glass of sweet tea or lemonade on a hot day. In the living room, large windows let in plenty of natural light, making Park Place one of the cheeriest downtown Savannah rentals available. The living room also has a comfortable sofa, several chairs and a large coffee table, giving you room to relax or entertain guests. Unlike many Savannah vacation rentals, Park Place has a full dining room with a large table and several chairs. This dining room is the perfect place to enjoy good food and good conversation while you bond with your family members or friends.
Another benefit of booking one of our Savannah vacation rentals is that you have a full kitchen available for food storage and meal prep. Use the oven and microwave to surprise your spouse with a home-cooked meal, prepare breakfast for your kids or heat up some snacks for a fun night in with friends. If you don’t want to spend your whole vacation cooking, use the fridge and freezer to store prepared foods from your favorite stores. The kitchen even has a kettle in case you want to warm up with a cup of tea or hot cocoa on a chilly evening. Park Place has blue walls that create a sense of peace and tranquility in every room, making this one of the best downtown Savannah rentals available.
Activities for Historic Savannah Vacations
Park Place is close to many of Savannah’s best attractions, making it a convenient home base whether you are traveling for business or pleasure. One of the biggest draws is Forsyth Park, which is home to the fountain that made an appearance in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The fountain serves as a beautiful background for photos and videos. Forsyth Park is also located near some of Savannah’s most popular squares. Many historic Savannah vacations include a stop in Franklin Square for a little outdoor recreation before a trip to one of the nearby bars or nightclubs. Located at the intersection of Abercorn and Wayne, Calhoun Square is just a few blocks away from Forsyth Park. The square is still surrounded by historic homes, making it a must-see for anyone who loves history.
Atlanta is not the only Georgia city with world-class museums. Savannah is home to several art museums with large collections of European and American works. Our downtown Savannah rentals are close to Telfair Academy, a mansion designed by William Jay. Hidden inside the mansion are period rooms that contain handcrafted furniture, paintings, sculptures and decorative items. Telfair Academy also has a large collection of works by local artists. If you prefer contemporary art, stop by SCAD Museum of Art to view colorful paintings and eye-catching sculptures. Our Savannah vacation rentals are also close to Tricentennial Park, home to the Georgia State Railroad Museum. The museum offers train rides and the opportunity to explore old railway cars, making it especially popular with children.
One of the highlights of many historic Savannah vacations is the opportunity to visit important sites from the American Revolution and Civil War. In 1778, British troops captured Savannah, forcing American and French forces to launch an attack in 1779. This attack, known as the Siege of Savannah, was unsuccessful, leaving British forces in control of the city until the American Revolution was almost over. Savannah also played an important role in the Civil War. In 1864, Major General Sherman launched the Savannah Campaign, which is often called Sherman’s March to the Sea. Sherman’s troops captured Savannah on December 21, 1864, making it difficult for Confederate troops to obtain needed food and supplies. Several companies offer guided tours of Savannah’s most important Civil War sites.
Reserving Your Savannah Vacation Rental
It’s easy to reserve one of our vacation homes for your upcoming trip. Whether you want to stay in Park Place or one of our other vacation rentals, all you have to do is pay a small deposit. Once the deposit is paid, we ensure that your desired rental is available during your vacation. Your final balance is due 30 days before you arrive, but we apply your deposit to the total amount owed, making it easy to afford our luxury accommodations. If you have any questions about this process, feel free to call Southern Belle for more information.
