About this property
Experience Savannah from the Heart of Downtown | Heated Pool Access
Oglethorpe Estate Garden Level: A Savannah Historic District Retreat Experience Savannah from the heart of the Historic District at Oglethorpe Estate Garden Level, a private lower-level residence located along East Oglethorpe Avenue. Recently refurnished with thoughtfully selected décor and updated furnishings, the unit offers an inviting home base for up to four guests. Two queen beds, a full kitchen, a separate living area, in-home laundry, and access to a shared courtyard provide the comforts and conveniences needed for an easy Savannah stay. Located beside Colonial Park Cemetery and surrounded by historic architecture, landscaped squares, and tree-lined streets, Oglethorpe Estate Garden Level places guests within easy reach of many of downtown Savannah's most recognizable destinations. Its central location allows you to explore much of the Historic District on foot while still having a private space where you can relax between outings. Whether you are planning a weekend getaway, wedding trip, family visit, or a few days spent sightseeing, this centrally located retreat gives you a convenient place to begin and end each day. Start the morning with breakfast at home, spend the afternoon exploring Savannah's squares and museums, and return to the garden level to recharge before heading out for dinner.
Recently Refurnished Garden-Level Living The garden level offers a fresh and comfortable atmosphere within the historic property. Thoughtfully selected décor and updated furnishings give the residence an inviting feel while complementing its location in one of Savannah's most historic neighborhoods. Comfortable seating creates an easy place to settle in after a day of exploring downtown, enjoy a quiet morning before heading out, or take a break between activities. The living room also offers a convenient gathering place for planning the day or enjoying a casual evening at home. The layout provides dedicated areas for relaxing, preparing meals, and spending time together. Rather than returning to a single hotel room, guests can enjoy the convenience of a private residence with separate spaces for everyday activities. Because the garden level is independent from the main house above, guests have their own living area, kitchen, bedroom, and laundry. This setup works well for couples, friends, or a small family looking for a convenient place to stay in the Historic District without giving up the comforts of having their own space.
Full Kitchen and Everyday Conveniences The garden level includes a full kitchen with full-size appliances, cabinetry, and counter space for groceries, drinks, and meal preparation. Having a complete kitchen gives guests the flexibility to start the morning with breakfast at home, keep snacks and drinks nearby, or prepare a casual meal after exploring Savannah.
For guests planning a longer visit, the kitchen makes it easier to balance dining out with meals at home. Savannah offers no shortage of restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and coffee shops, but having the option to prepare something on your own can make each day feel more relaxed. It is especially convenient for early mornings, late arrivals, or evenings when your group would rather stay in.
The kitchen also provides useful storage for groceries and restaurant leftovers. Pick up something from a local market, bring back dessert from a nearby restaurant, or prepare coffee before beginning another day downtown. In-home laundry is available on the garden level, adding another layer of convenience for longer stays, family trips, or guests who prefer to pack light. After an afternoon of walking through the Historic District, having laundry available inside the unit makes it easy to refresh clothing without interrupting your plans. Together, the full kitchen, separate living room, and in-home laundry make the garden level a practical and comfortable home base near the heart of downtown Savannah.
Sleeping Accommodations for Up to Four Guests Oglethorpe Estate Garden Level accommodates up to four guests with two queen beds located within the garden-level space. The sleeping setup is well suited for couples traveling together, friends visiting Savannah, or a small family looking for a centrally located place to stay. The two queen beds offer flexible sleeping arrangements while keeping everyone together within the same private unit. The recently refreshed surroundings create a welcoming setting where guests can settle in and relax at the end of the day.
After an afternoon of sightseeing, shopping, dining, or exploring Savannah's historic streets, the garden level provides a convenient place to recharge. Guests can return to the unit for a break between activities or settle in for a quiet evening before another day downtown. For those traveling as part of a larger gathering, the garden level offers a separate place to stay while keeping everyone close to the rest of the Oglethorpe Estate property. This arrangement can be especially helpful for family trips, wedding weekends, reunions, or groups that appreciate having multiple living spaces.
Shared Courtyard and Outdoor Space Guests staying on the garden level also have access to the property's courtyard, which is shared with the main house. Outdoor seating provides a pleasant place to enjoy morning coffee, spend time in the fresh air, or relax between outings. A grill is also available for guests who would like to prepare a casual meal outdoors during their stay. The courtyard adds another useful gathering area to the property while the garden level remains separate from the Main House. Guests should keep in mind that this outdoor space may also be enjoyed by those staying in the residence above.
Explore Savannah from the Historic District One of the biggest advantages of staying at Oglethorpe Estate Garden Level is its location. Situated along East Oglethorpe Avenue beside Colonial Park Cemetery, the property places you in the middle of Savannah's Historic District and within easy reach of many of the city's best-known attractions. From the property, guests can set out on foot to explore nearby squares, historic homes, museums, restaurants, shops, and landmarks. Oglethorpe Square and Columbia Square are both nearby, while the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters offers an opportunity to learn more about Savannah's history and architecture. Continue toward Broughton Street for shopping, coffee, dining, and local boutiques, or make your way toward City Market for galleries, restaurants, and entertainment. Bay Street and River Street are also within convenient reach, offering additional dining, sightseeing, and views along the Savannah River.
Part of what makes staying in the Historic District so enjoyable is being able to explore it on foot. Moss-draped live oaks, brick sidewalks, preserved architecture, landscaped squares, historic churches, and centuries-old streets are all part of the surroundings. Walking between destinations also allows you to notice the small details that give Savannah its distinctive character. The central location makes it easy to experience the city at your own pace. Spend the morning visiting historic sites, stop for lunch at a nearby restaurant, return to the garden level for a break, and head back out later for dinner or an evening walk. Guests can also join a history or ghost tour, visit a museum, browse local shops, or relax in one of Savannah's shaded squares.
Your Garden-Level Home Base in Savannah With accommodations for up to four guests, two queen beds, a full kitchen, a separate living area, in-home laundry, shared courtyard access, and a walkable Historic District location, Oglethorpe Estate Garden Level offers a well-located and inviting place to stay in downtown Savannah. The private layout provides more flexibility than a traditional hotel room, giving guests space to relax, prepare meals, and settle into their own routine. At the same time, the location keeps Savannah's history, architecture, dining, shopping, and entertainment within convenient reach. Whether your plans include sightseeing, a wedding weekend, visiting friends or family, or simply spending a few days exploring the city, the garden level provides a welcoming home base to return to between outings. Its combination of practical amenities, comfortable living spaces, and central location makes it easy to enjoy Savannah while having a private place to settle into at the end of each day.

The property was perfect for a trip to Savannah. Beds were comfy and linens were nice. Comfortable and convenient to everything. Coffee shop right at the corner too!
This apartment is in a great location that was walk to all for the sights a visitor might be interested in. It is close to the Juliette Gordon-Low house which was exciting for my two girl scout daughters.
Awesome location and comfy feel. The courtyard was a plus with our dogs and the free parking was a score. We literally could walk anyway within minutes. Only thing I would suggest is a full length mirror in the bedrooms so everyone doesn’t have to rely on the bathroom mirror. Will be back.
This property was perfect for my husband &I and our 2 small dogs. Bottom floor of building so some noise from upstairs & elevator, but understandable for historic building. Great back courtyard for our small dogs to roam in. Plenty of supplies/dishes. Property manager very responsive to any issues. No parking available for this unit. Can street park with app but we chose nearby garage 2 blocks away at State street for reasonable rate & never even moved our vehicle all week. Walking distance to everything & convenient Trolley stop across the street. Will definitely use again for our next stay!

Overall the property was clean and had a nice lay out. Bathroom could use some updating - a little dingy and the drain would not empty while showering. Our third night we could not sleep due to the massive party being thrown above us despite there being a no party rule/ no gathering rule. Waiting to hear back from management about how they plan to handle our final night’s stay. Hopefully they offer a reasonable solution.
This is a basement unit some noise is acceptable. However when you find out the elevator machinery room for the unit upstairs is in your living room and ajoins your second bedroom the noise is unbearable all hours of the night as the elevator goes up and down as people come and go from the oven upstairs. We would not rent this particular unit again.

Just average.
Over all not a horrible stay, I do wish they had disclosed that the elevator mechanics were in the closet pictured in living area, very loud and intrusive. I would have chosen another unit had they disclosed that ahead of time. In general the unit needs a face lift, chipping paint, dirty furniture...etc. and that is all i have to say about that.

It was ok
Location was very hard to find. We arrived after dark and appearance of back alley very scary. Should be lit. Gate did not lock half the time. Could use updating... Stains on sofa & bed comforter. Toilet is very slow flushing & have to flush several times. TV's hard to operate and couldn't get regular cable in master bedroom..bedroom 2 had no tv. Blinds on windows & door torn & slats missing. Coffee mug not washed stain in cup. Beds and pillows very comfortable and linens smelled nice and fresh. The place was very clean other than the other things above. Overall, It was a decent location and a 10 to 15 minute walk to major places. Parking was a plus.

Overpriced & Underwhelming
The directions to find property/parking/entrance were clear as mud. To top it off, I had to pay for street parking ont op of the EXTREMELY OVERPRICED accommodations. The host fee was 1 & ½ times the cost of a nights stay. Not sure what that covers. The empty ice tray in the freezer or the stellar directions for the parking area? The HVAC (guessing) was so loud in the living room closet that we had to pause conversation everytime it kicked on (very frequent). The stairway to the 2nd floor space was directly off the living room and we could hear every word/step through the thin uninsulated walls/ceilings. The pool is a half hour drive away and only open 10am to 5pm works great with a 4pm check-in & 10am check-out especially since you can't go after you check out (company policy, totally missed the idea of Southern bell, unless your meaning bigotry rather than hospitality), another useless item for the ridiculous host fee? If it's not clear I do NOT recommend Southern Bell & will NOT be a returning customer.
This is located in a great spot in town. We didn't need to drive at all. Close to shopping and Leopolds. Don't miss the ice cream, its worth waiting in line. There is a parking garage about 2 blocks away on State street. It was close and reasonably priced if you dont want to street park. Enclosed back yard is nice and private. Beds are comfy. Some noise from the passers-by on the street but not at all disruptive. Lovely furnishings and full washer and dryer a huge plus. This was our 2nd time staying here and we will again!

The place bites
Our stay started out okay, the place was fine. I think the place has fleas or something. My sister and I starting seeing bites on our bodies. We were doing yoga daily in the living room and seen some fleas or it could be bed bugs? I'm not sure but I put bug spray on before bed our last night. I did not report to manager since we were checking out and there was already an issue with parking - the book in the rental states that parking in the alley is available to our unit, but the management calls me while out to dinner that it is not, etc... that in a vague email that there is street parking available - lot's of back and forth that the book needs to be changed, etc. If the parking in back is not for the unit just say it clearly in email and remove from book. We did visit the pool which was lovely.
Property is in great location, so much to see and do in walking distance. Property is nice inside, tastefully done, people very friendly. We enjoyed dinner and beverages at 1790 restaurant, only 1/2 block away. We had a great time!
The place was clean and comfortable. We walked everywhere we went pretty much. Parking got a little pricey as you have to park out front and pay the meter. There was one time where we had to park a couple blocks away. I wish there had been a washcloth in the kitchen and maybe better pans for cooking. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. There is so much to do and see in Savannah. Never a dull moment!

It was a great place - the parking situation was confusing and the upstairs group was nosy. The owners contacted the upstairs and fixed that for the rest of the stay so that was nice.
Great property in a prime location for getting around however the listing was a little unclear as to where the pool was located. The photos made it seem like it wasn’t far from the property however it’s located on Tybee island which requires a car to get to. Besides this minor disappointment on a hot weekend, the property was great!
Nice clean rental in a great location. The unit is very spacious with a washer and dryer. There is even a parking space on the rear of the property! A nice bonus is access to a pool on Tybee island just off the beach!!!
