Verdant walking paths, a Fragrant Garden for the Blind, tennis courts, athletic fields, two children’s playgrounds, basketball courts and the beautiful French-style fountain make Forsyth Park a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts. Also, three of the city’s most famous statues, the Confederate Memorial, the Marine Monument and The Hiker, are bound to be on your sightseeing list. When you stay at 827 Howard St. Estate, one of our wonderful Savannah vacation homes that accommodates up to eight guests, you are only a block away from Forsyth Park adventures.

About the Estate

All of our vacation rentals Savannah GA feature televisions, towels, bedding, dishes and cookware. 827 Howard St. Estate also provides a premium perk you won’t typically find in Savannah vacation rentals: ground-floor parking in your own spacious garage. Once you pull in via the gated brick courtyard and click the garage door remote, simply step past the washer and dryer provided for your use to the ground-floor suite, a queen-sized bedroom and full bath with a shower/tub unit. You can take the indoor staircase upstairs, or when you are returning home on foot, you can take the street entrance, which is up a flight of exterior stairs.

The main level of the Howard Street Estate is open and expansive, exuding a welcoming aura that draws you in. A sectional sofa with a matching ottoman invites you to make yourself comfortable while a pair of padded armchairs accommodates additional guests. The wall-mounted, flat-screen television sees to your entertainment needs when you are spending a quiet evening in. Huge windows, hardwood floors and tasteful decorator accents give the area a healthy pinch of panache. In addition, this accommodation features complimentary Wi-Fi and ceiling fans throughout.

The adjacent dining room hosts a formal table with seats for six beneath a contemporary chandelier. A powder room is tucked away beside built-in shelving. Just around the corner, you will find the gourmet kitchen, complete with a roomy center island. Your long list of stainless-steel appliances includes beverage cooler, microwave, large refrigerator, range-oven and dishwasher. Yards of granite countertops allow your group to spread out when cooking communal meals, and another flat-screen TV is accessible to cooks and diners alike. A pair of sinks streamlines cleanup. A breakfast table nestles near the back door, which opens to an elegant balcony overlooking the landscaped courtyard.

Ensuite bedrooms await you up one flight with the promise of restful nights. A king-sized iron bed furnishes the master suite, which is decorated in restful pearl gray and cream tones. The attached bath boasts a classy glass-enclosed shower for two with subway tile and bench seating. The second third-floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed piled high with soft pillows and a private bath with a shower. A roomy laundry room off the hallway provides you with a full-sized washer and dryer, an ironing board, sink and storage cupboards.

The free Chatham Transit Authority shuttle that runs throughout the Historic District is a real boon when you are staying at Savannah vacation homes. It can take you all the way from your Forsyth accommodations to the Savannah River. Plan a shuttle-assisted self-guided tour of the area’s sites, many of which are located in the 20 historic squares. You could also plan a museum crawl, beginning at the nearby Massie Heritage Center and continuing with stops at the Mercer Williams House Museum on Bull Street, the Sorrel-Weed House at Bull and Harris Streets, the Greek Revival Harper-Fowlkes House on Orleans Square and the Isaiah Davenport House Museum near Columbia Square.
