Great stay! Property is clean, great location, easy walking distance to most downtown areas. Pet friendly provided us a doggie welcome kit w treats and two good sized dog crates for our dogs had plenty of space when we were not there with them. Owners were quick to reply to any questions/needs. Highly recommend if you are a small 4 or less group I need of good, clean, pet friendly accommodation in historic Savannah.

I had a most pleasant time staying in the Captains Cottage. It is a beautiful building, nicely restored and has all the amenities for a comfortable stay. The Pirates House is close by and Washington Square is a half block away. There is lots to do in the nearly areas, especially touring the houses and history of Savannah.
