Plant Your Flag at Pickett’s Place
Ideally sized for groups of up to six, Pickett’s Place is a triumph of contemporary convenience and historic panache. Located at Tattnall and Jones streets, equidistant from Chatham and Pulaski Squares, this Savannah vacation rental puts you at the center of dozens of possibilities. Pickett’s Place is fully stocked with bedding, towels, dishes and cookware, like all of Southern Belle’s Savannah vacation homes. Once you arrive, you can browse the local Farmers’ Market and grocery stores for provisions.
Pickett’s Place is a row house in a charming, shady neighborhood. The front door opens on a bright, airy living room featuring a pair of floor-to-ceiling windows and an impressive brick fireplace. An antique mirror occupies pride of place above the mantelpiece. Blonde wood floors and neutral colors make the most of the expansive space while a roomy sofa sectional and armchairs invite you to ease into vacation mode. A flat screen TV offers entertainment while you sip your morning coffee or arrive home in the evening.
The dining room is just beyond the staircase closet. Vibrant artwork graces the walls, and a multi-pendant chandelier adds lovely illumination for your family-style meals. The large table seats everyone in your group and may well become your favorite gathering spot. An antique tallboy enriches the unique vibe of this inviting area. A stylish main-floor powder room features a countertop sink and artisan faucet.
You can’t help but fall in love with the outstanding cook’s kitchen with its scarlet-lacquered cupboards and gleaming stainless-steel appliances. A roomy fridge, range-oven, microwave and dishwasher share the U-shaped space. Track lighting ensures that your countertops are well-lit during meal prep and cleanup. A garden window off the kitchen frames a breakfast nook where you can bask in the morning sun while eating a leisurely breakfast. The back door reveals a private patio with seating.
On the fully carpeted second floor, you will discover a pair of master suites, each furnished with a lush king-sized bed, closets, a dresser and a flat-screen television. One ensuite bathroom has a full tub/ shower unit and a spacious countertop for all your personal items while the other has a glass-enclosed shower. Climb one flight further toward the treetops to find a sleeping loft, complete with a queen-sized bed, sofa and ceiling fan.
Out on the Town
Venture out into your hospitable surroundings to mingle with the locals as well as those staying at vacation rentals Savannah GA. Chatham Square is a couple blocks’ walk and offers greenspace for impromptu picnics. As one of the last squares established in the Historic District, Chatham dates to 1847 and bears the title of the First Earl of Chatham, William Pitt. This sleepy city park provides you with a chance to enjoy some shade beneath the ancient oaks on a warm Savannah afternoon.
Pulaski Square is also steps from Pickett’s Place in the opposite direction. Named for Revolutionary War hero Count Casimir Pulaski who met his end during the Savannah siege, the square was established in 1837. Take some time to stroll around the neighborhoods that border the square. Fine examples of Greek revival and Italian-style architecture, rendered in Georgia-made brick, are sure to capture your interest.
The Historic District has a wealth of museum-quality collections available for viewing, and you are in luck because your Savannah vacation rental is close to several. Stop by the Mercer-Williams House Museum, located a few blocks east of Chatham Square near Monterey Square. The home loomed large in the popular Savannah-based novel, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.” Renovated in the early 1970, it offers you a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in authentic Civil War-era art and architecture. Just to the north, the Hurn Museum of Contemporary Folk Art offers a different take on area culture.
Treat yourself to a hearty repast as you enjoy all that the city has to offer. Head east on Jones Street from your Savannah vacation rental to Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room, a favorite among guests in nearby vacation rentals Savannah GA and local residents alike. You are also convenient to the Crystal Beer Parlor, just to the west of Pickett’s Place on Jones Street. Enjoy a change of pace with some Cuban cuisine at the Rancho Allegro on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, or Noble Fare to the north on Jefferson Street.
We can provide plenty more local dining recommendations when you contact Southern Belle to reserve Savannah vacation homes, too. We are happy to help you make your visit truly memorable.
