Great Location & Clean but Outside Noise Easily Heard
This location is great as it is right across the street from the river. Property was clean and as described & looks like online pictures. If you're sensitive to noise, especially sensitive sleepers, be aware that you can easily hear the road noise as well as people talking as they walk by outside. Likely because the building is so old, the noise outside is very apparent. We just used a white noise app on phone in combination with a floor fan blowing to sleep and it was fine.
We had a great time at this spot. The apartment was in a good location. Parking was a pain, as it’s a double parking situation and others had multiple cars. Things could have gone smoother there, but otherwise it’s definitely a good area to stay if you want to explore savannah!
This was a nice place, decently priced and good location. It is an older house so you hear everything. I swear the people upstairs were in a constant state of moving furniture from on side of the room to another. But the place was very clean and comfortable.
While the property itself was nice, we were only able to stay there one night. Apon arrival we learned that the AC was not working. After calling one of the property managers, we learned that this had been an ongoing problem that we were not made aware of. We had to move to a crappy cabin for one night 30 min from our original property. No one with the rental company feels responsible or are willing to make things right with us. I suggest VRBO stop doing buisness with Alpine Valley Cabin Rentals
The Good:
- Great location 1/2 block from Bay Street and very close to River Street and the Savannah River
- 2 story unit (1 of 3 in the building) and main level had nice & spacious living,dining rooms & small kitchen was nice
- Ground level master bedroom with king bed was spacious. Other bedroom was not
- Off street parking from the lane behind the house, which was convenient since there really isn't any parking due to the hoard of tourists
The Bad:
- Combination locks on each door were awful. They need replacing with quality ones & the locking mechanism needs to be properly aligned to the door jam so it works
- The full bath was small and inconvenient. It had a large shower, but no place to set anything except the sink rim, which was not connected to the wall so it moved around a lot
- Dbl bed in skinny bedroom is really for children, and the mattress was either worn our or a bargain deal
- There was something going on in the bathroom as when the other people in the house flushed, we got an interesting odor; not good
- I really hated that the downstairs, street level where the beds/bath were located - the floor was filthy. It was gritty, sandy and had small chunks of grit or something everywhere. It felt it was never vacuumed We paid an outrageous and separate cleaning fee which must be pure profit
- Rental agency should warn TV had parental controls turned off
- And stop all the emails from maybe 4 sources-all worthless junk except for entry help. I mean really?
We had a wonderful stay! The property was very clean, right by everything we went to Savannah to see. The bedrooms were comfortable. We were surprised that one of the places to sleep was an air mattress but it worked. The prop.manager was very responsive, We had an amazing stay. Will rent again
Absolutely wonderful place to stay! Clean, pretty, great location. Our thirteen year old daughter might even have smiled once or twice (my wife and I did many times :) )
The property is decorated with elegant and modern accessories and linens. The exposed brick and beams are a great representation of old Savannah! But that's where the fun stops at this place. The bathrooms are TINY. The upstairs half bath with require a tiny human to occupy it or for a regularly sized one to sit sideways on this fancy toilet. The downstairs "main" bathroom is a single sink vanity, shower, and toilet. It's also very small but at least you can ride the toilet facing the right direction. The bedrooms are located downstairs at street level and when you combine that with paper thin walls and old windows you are in for a real treat! I could make out every single word of those who passed by during their evening stroll/ stumble through town. This home contains several units and you will hear every footstep that everyone else takes. Have fun! The first night I actually got up from the bed on multiple occasions thinking someone had entered my unit on mistake (or worse). Between the street folk and those running steps and rearranging furniture in the other units, it was a sleepless night for all. Half of our party actually checked in at the local Hampton the next night and they said it was lovely. Wish I would have followed suit. My final complaint is the terrible bedding. The mattresses are horrifically uncomfortable and these are the cheapest pillows I have seen. I think hospitals probably provide more luxury. Once you add in all of the fees, this is not an inexpensive option for Savannah. I expect much better for the price and would never consider returning to this rental. But I hear the Hampton on the same block was cheaper and more comfortable!
Great location, parking behind the house, walkable to all the historic sites and restaurants/shopping. Quiet street, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water for showers.

Beautifully decorated, great location to everything. Family friendly unit.
Great location for vacationing in Savannah. Unit is decorated beautifully. The details of the home are perfect. It's fully stocked kitchen is perfect. Only a block from River Street and free trolley system to explore the entire historic district. PArking included was also very helpful.

Property Was Nice, But.......
We recently stayed at this location for a couple of nights while visiting Savannah. The property itself was nice, but do not be mislead thinking the per night room rates are a bargain. After fees and taxes, we almost paid double for the stay. Booking fees seemed to be a double dip as we paid the VRBO booking fee plus the rental company booking fee. And WE did all the work online! We were bombarded with excessive text messages wanting to know basically, "Are you checked out yet? Are you checked out yet?" Also, we were a little taken aback getting a phone call from the rental company while we were out and about enjoying ourselves asking could we check the dryer door because they had received a complaint previously.about it not operating properly. Felt like I was at work. We visit Savannah often, but probably will avoid properties owned by this company.

Historic charm and location!!!
Wonderful, historic, charming, great location, very clean, updated, all the amenities. Only complaints were the mattresses were a little firm for us and with the location comes traffic noise. I loved that it had fans. I loved being able to walk to the river front and all over the historic district. So close to restaurants and shops. Also love that it came with a parking spot. Would definitely visit again!

Perfect apartment! Perfect location!
This apartment is beautifully decorated, and a short walk from everything. Right across from River Street, and many great restaurants are in close proximity. The only improvement needed are mattress toppers on both beds. They are very firm(back pain causing firm).
