Savannah is one of the most popular destinations in the South, with good reason. Although the city has gourmet restaurants and an exciting contemporary arts scene, it has managed to retain its historic charm for more than two centuries. Savannah is known for its role in the American Revolution and the Civil War, making it a favorite destination for history enthusiasts. The city is also filled with parks and museums that have something for everyone. When you come to Savannah, you deserve more than a tiny room in a noisy hotel. Skip the hotel and book one of the downtown Savannah rentals managed by Southern Belle. We have just the right vacation home for all of your historic Savannah vacations.

Steps to Savannah’s Historic Sites

Savannah’s grid system makes it easy to find your way around the city. Our downtown Savannah rentals are located near some of the city’s most popular points of interest. Although Savannah has more than 20 squares, Monterey Square, Whitfield Square and Chatham Square are among the most popular. Monterey Square is home to an eye-catching monument that was built in honor of a Polish man who lost his life during the American Revolution. Brides and grooms flock to Whitfield Square for their destination weddings. Among the square’s most beautiful features are the colorful landscaping and Victorian gazebo. Locals visit Chatham Square when they want to relax on a bench and watch people pass them by.

Savannah Attractions

The city has plenty of things to do during all of your historic Savannah vacations. If you are interested in American history, Savannah is a great place to view artifacts from the American Revolution and the Civil War. Massie Heritage Center, which used to be used as a school, has many artifacts from the 1800s. Our Savannah vacation rentals are also conveniently located near Wormsloe Plantation and Old Fort Jackson. The plantation was established in the 1700s, making it a favorite stop on tours of Savannah. Wormsloe Plantation is known for its majestic entrance, which stretches for a mile and gives visitors views of stately oak trees. Old Fort Jackson, a National Historic Landmark, played a key role in the War of 1812. If you visit the fort, make sure you participate in one of the guided tours. Each tour is led by a guide wearing authentic clothing from the 1800s.

Our Savannah vacation rentals are also near some of the city’s best museums and parks. Telfair Academy is housed a mansion that was constructed in 1819. When the last Telfair passed away in 1875, she left the mansion and its contents to the Georgia Historical Society. After extensive renovations, Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences opened its doors in 1886. Visit the museum to get a glimpse of original works from all over the United States and Europe. Many travelers choose to visit Forsyth Park during their historic Savannah vacations. The 30-acre park is filled with benches, making it the perfect place to relax on a sunny afternoon. While you’re in the park, stop for a picture in front of the cast-iron fountain. The world-famous fountain was featured in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, a popular film starring John Cusack and Kevin Spacey.
