The house was lovely and the kitchen was well-equipped. However the neighborhood was not what we expected. It was a very sketchy area and our concerns were validated on our first night there. Two young men pounded on our door and would not leave. They demanded the use of my cell phone and even asked me to drive them home. They would not leave the front porch until my son arrived and even then they were reluctant to go. It shook us up and has colored our memories of our Christmas in Savannah.
8 of us stayed here for a wedding weekend... For the price, it was great! The neighborhood is on the outskirts of what I would consider safe. The house itself was described well, and we were happy with our stay. We did have 5 girls, so getting ready for the wedding events was challenging with the small bathroom, but we made it work!
Everything was great
We were on the edge of residential vs. vacation rental and it had a great vibe including the bakery/ coffee shop across the street.., thanks Tom
This property was great! It's actually two apartments (which wasn't clear to me until right before the trip) with one apartment upstairs and one apartment downstairs.
Pros:
- Very close to Forsyth Park
- Beautiful home
- Comfortable beds
- Plenty of space for the 8 of us
- The rental company, Lucky Savannah, was incredible. Extremely communicative and helpful
Cons:
- We were walking home one evening and someone driving shouted out the car window to warn us we weren't in a very safe area; just want to flag that the home itself is wonderful, and there's no reason not to book, just be careful / aware in the evenings
Enjoy your stay!
We didnât like the neighborhood hood weâre were in with the garage across the street, walking us up
Our lock codes did not work. Had to call additional times to let us get in. There was no hot water in the downstairs bath. We just went upstairs to shower. I would like to know what the paint color in the upstairs bath. Thank
We enjoyed our stay at the Montgomery House and would definitely return. We rented out both sides of the unit so it was very convenient with our friend group because we could have plenty of together time but some separation as well. Property manager was very attentive and when we did need a few things fixed they came over within a few hours. House is right on the outskirts of town so itâs easily walkable to Forsyth Park and other attractions. We felt safe while there and appreciated that the kitchens are reasonably stocked so we could cook our own breakfasts easily. Only downside to this location is that on Sunday there is a church just around the corner that BLASTS their morning sermon.
