“…I just wanted to let you know my husband and I really enjoyed the great condo in Savannah. The location was perfect for walking and your prompt service was wonderful. I would recommend Savannah Getaways to my friends and family. Thanks again!...”  V.D., Indiana

“…Ronald and Lynne, I just wanted to thank you, Aubrey Stringer, Tom Mott and Charlene for a fabulous girls weekend in Savannah. We had the perfect place to stay, lots of help figuring out what to do, where to eat, and gracious southern hospitality helping us as we continued to lock ourselves out of our units! I will highly recommend your services to friends and family. Thank you for your fabulous service and all of our fine memories of Savannah!...”  S.T., Michigan

“…My friend…and I stayed at the Liberty St. property last weekend. It was everything we wanted it to be. We appreciated the interior design elements so much that we took photos to use in our own homes. It really feels like old Savannah, but with all the modern comforts.  I definitely want to stay at Liberty St. again someday…”  P.D., Maryland

“…Just wanted to let you know that we certainly enjoyed ourselves in Savannah the week of Thanksgiving. The townhouses and cottage were perfect accommodations for our family. We would certainly like to visit again. Thanksgiving Day was so lovely that we ate our meal outside on the deck…Charlene Legg was so helpful to us when a couple of issues arose. We certainly appreciated her quick response. I also am happy about the prompt return of my security deposit. All in all this has been a good experience and we hope to do it again…In answer to your question, we had been in Savannah for a quick stay about 12 years ago and enjoyed it , the accommodations were much better this time…”  V.D., Florida

“…Great web site with lots of information…”  K.D., Massachusetts

“…We just got back home from our trip to Savannah.  The house was fabulous!  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  Savannah is a lovely city.  Thank you so much for all your assistance to us…”  B.C. & C.C., California

“…We had a delightful time in Savannah. Our condo was exactly as described on the website. It was perfect for our needs and so convenient to all of the downtown and surrounding areas…I am singing the praises of Savannah Getaways to our family and friends. Since recently making a move from St. Louis, MO, to Montgomery, AL, we are exploring the South .I found the website to be so informative with the recommendations of restaurants and tours. We so hope to return to Savannah. There’s so much to take in…Aubrey, thank you for your detailed service in providing answers to the variety of housekeeping questions that we asked. Your quick response and thoroughness made our preparation for coming very easy…Thank you very much for providing excellent service and a great resource in Savannah Getaways...”  P.H., Alabama

“…We stayed in #1006 from 12/23-12/30/05, and we would like to give you some feedback. We had a wonderful stay and were very impressed with the house. It was clean, recently remodeled, and suited a family of four perfectly. We also thought your website was wonderful: very easy to use, Aubrey and Kim Stringer were very accommodating, and we were pleased that you refunded our security deposit so promptly. Thank you…”  C.R., Connecticut

“…Just wanted to let you know how fantastic that loft was..... (#1021)..We loved it....”  M.L., New York

“…We are having a dandy of a time for our honeymoon - this is perfect - widescreen TV/DVD…its location... the appliances - what more can one ask for?  Really appreciate this…”  K.N., Pennsylvania

“…Just wanted to let you know that we loved the townhouse in Savannah. We had a great time.  I do wish the weather had been a little warmer so we could have taken advantage of the porches and the courtyard.  I will
recommend this townhouse to anyone going to Savannah.  Also thanks for the cookies!  What a special treat to come in and find!...”  D.N., Alabama

“…I just wanted to let you know that the location and the unit at 111 Lincoln could not have been better for our annual "Girls" weekend!! After I managed to get everyone in from the airport we settled in to our temporary home quite quickly.  It was very quiet and pleasant even on the rainy day…We enjoyed the idea of an apartment so much that the lady hosting our trip next year in the Chicago area has been given the task of finding something similar.  It was far superior to a hotel since we like to sit around and talk in comfort.  Watching a DVD or using the VCR was perfect late in the evening…Again, thank you for offering such a great place and for making my hosting duties so easy!!  I have also suggested to several friends and co-workers that they utilize your services if they are planning a trip to Savannah, I know I sure will for the next time…”  D.T., Georgia

“…and again, i want to say that we had a WONDERFUL time in savannah ... and having the taylor street trio available to use was a large part of our experience. the girls truly appreciated the freedom we were able to grant them to wander back and forth between the two sides of the duplex and the cottage ... something they would not have been allowed to do without an adult in tow had we been in a hotel situation. (and as their leader, i appreciated being able to relax knowing they were all safe within the boundaries of the property!)..it was great being able to "come home" inbetween our scheduled events and adventures and just kick back and relax in such a peaceful setting. thank you for having such a beautiful property and being willing to rent it to a Girl Scout troop. (now we're spoiled ;-))…”  A.M., Florida

“…Delightful...and again thank you for providing my wife and I with a
wonderful week…What a wonder home you have…”  J.B. and T.B., Nebraska

“…We enjoyed our stay on Huntingdon St in the lovely one bedroom apartment.  It was quite roomy and beautifully furnished.  It was nice having new appliances and cookware…When we are in the area again we will surely stay here!!  Thank you so much!!...”  D.B., Texas

“…fabulous, terrific place on Perry St., wonderful location, right in the middle of everything…may be the best property we’ve ever stayed in…”  L.M., Canada

“…writing to let you know that the apt at E Julian was just right for our situation – two couples each wanting a bedroom and bath, with a public room where we could gather to visit…Thanks for your assistance.  I would definitely recommend you, and use you again…”  L.S., North Carolina

“…Thank you for our deposit refund from our stay at Habersham St…We thought you should know we had a terrific time in Savannah!  Our location on Habersham was wonderful!  We could walk to everything and the rental provided the perfect amount of space for our family.  It is decorated so nicely and everything about it felt so comfortable…And it was very clean!  We will most definitely use Savannah Getaways when we come back to Savannah, which we hope to be soon!...”  C.K and K.K., Minnesota

“…I recently stayed in one of your properties (1023) during a long weekend in March.  I wanted to write to give praise.  Everyone at Savannah Getaways that I worked with was very courteous and professional.  I enjoyed doing business with you and I’ve now decided to always rent from your company while staying in beautiful Savannah, Georgia, instead of renting from a hotel or motel.  You made the experience less “tourist-like” and more “resident-like”, because of how close we were to everything!...The condo was magnificent.  I enjoyed every aspect of being in the middle of the city.  We had a superb trip and accommodations!...”  R.J., Georgia

“…We had the fabulous experience of staying @ #1002 on East Broughton St. Wonderful & safe location.  Accommodations were elegant, courtyard perfect for morning coffee & evening cocktails.  Far nicer than any of the B&B's or hotels I have stayed in in Savannah.  Thanks for all your help in choosing the right place for our stay.  Highly recommend the adorable carriage house, which was shown to us by the couple staying there, but you need a much better picture on the web site. Will absolutely be back!...”  E.T., Maine

“…My husband, Claude and I thought you should know how very happy we were with our accommodations.   We couldn't have dreamt of a better place to stay during our Savannah vacation.   The charming cottage on the Schweistris' gorgeous historic property provided us with every amenity we needed and the location outside the city was more than we could have hoped for; Savannah's historic district was only 20 - 30 minutes away, there were nice golf courses nearby, as well as, excellent restaurants and shopping plus major highways leading to Georgia's interesting coastal area…We also very much appreciated the hospitality of our hosts,  Anneliese and Erich Schweistris.   We were offered use of their swimming pool and Anneliese not only provided us with helpful information about the area, but even supplied us with some of their home grown fresh vegetables!..All in all, we had a most enjoyable and memorable vacation and will encourage family and friends to think of Savannah as a destination for an interesting and delightful vacation…”  C.B. and L.B., Canada

“…I've just received my deposit, and thought I'd shoot a quick e-mail your way.  We really enjoyed our stay and found our accommodations quite comfortable and clean.  Arriving early, we even ran into Carmen, who provided us with some local information, which we appreciated…We'll call on our next trip down!...”  C.C., North Carolina

“…Just a note to let you know we very much enjoyed our stay at 120 Taylor Street this past weekend.   Charlene was very helpful when we arrived on Friday.  My son's wedding was absolutely beautiful!...I would definitely recommend this place to my friends, and we'd love to be able to stay again…Thanks so much…”  S.T., Georgia

“…I would like to say that Savannah and the town house were both beautiful places. I can't wait until I can return to Savannah for another vacation…My friends and I stayed in the town house on Gaston St. that I believe was reference #1000. It was a very charming place and we found it to be very clean. We loved everything about it. The location of it was easy to find and it was also located to many places that we enjoyed visiting. We stayed for a total of 6 days and 5 of those nights were spent at the town house. We had all the comforts of home and I personally feel the accommodations were a lot nicer than any hotel. I have recommended to many people to take a vacation to Savannah and to stay in one of the town houses available through savannahgetaways.net…”  A.G., Kentucky

“…I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful vacation rental during our stay in Savannah, at 201 W. Liberty.  It was just magnificent and the location couldn't have been better.  It was a pleasure using Savannah Getaways and we will recommend you to our friends and colleagues…”  T.C., Nebraska

“…Just wanted to let you know we stayed last week in Ref 1000.  It was great.  Had a great time in Savannah and the room was great.  Loved living in a row house and being a part of Savannah.  Hope to return in the future.  I will recommend your site to friends.  Thanks again…”  B.C., Kentucky

“…Have been meaning now for a few weeks to send you off a card saying THANK YOU from both Carolyn and I for your understanding and in appreciation for the refund of the rental and deposit monies due to our unfortunate situation. We are very grateful, wanted to express that again, and request that you forward this card on to the owners to express the same directly to them. I miss Savannah and look forward to getting back there as soon as money and time allow…”  V.S., California

“…In early Aug. we stayed at (listing #1016).  I really hate to write a good review because I hate people to find out how great the place is. We enjoyed ourselves greatly and would stay there again. It is so convenient to everything and is done so tastefully inside with everything you need…Thanks for a great place to stay…”  D.K., Florida

“…The house (#1067) was TERRIFIC.  We loved the house AND the location.  One suggestion that might help people would be a toaster…everything was perfect.  Thanks.”  M.P., Washington, D.C.

“…Such a quaint getaway-my first reaction was of Walden-Emerson and Thoreau times.  Time of quiet in the midst of the big city.  Wonderful time of relaxation and reflection.  Great place to have celebrated our 25th Anniversary!  We really enjoyed walking the streets of Savannah with its history and beautiful squares…”  T. and S., South Carolina

“…This cottage reminds me so much of Old England. M. and I enjoy our times here so much. Like a second honeymoon coming to Savannah.  Thanks…”  M. and S., South Carolina

“…We love this place. The cottage is perfect, and the people in this town are so friendly and hospitable.  It's our new favorite place!  Thank you…”  S and J., Florida

“…    We stayed on Liberty street for our 1st wedding anniversary and had a great time.   My wife thought the accommodations were very Savannah like.  This was my first trip, but my wife has been many times.  She said this was the best accommodations she has stayed in out of the many trips to Savannah she has had.  We will be back and we will … be calling you guys again…”  J.J., North Carolina

“…I just wanted to tell you that the house on Price Street was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend with our daughters!  Thank you for all your help and support even on Friday evening as we struggled with the locks & having a key.  We will definitely recommend your website and your accommodations whenever asked by friends and family!...”  T.D., Florida

“…I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at the E. McDonough St. house in Savannah.  It was a very nice place, and the city is wonderful.  Here are a couple of things to add to your recommendation list for visitors.

The show at the Savannah Theater, "Jukebox Journey" was wonderful!  It has been going on for 3 years or so and is well worth the ticket price.  The cast is very talented, and it's a musical review of songs on the jukebox from the 50's to the 80's or thereabouts.  It reminded us of the kind of entertainment we've seen on cruises.  Good dancing and singing, a great band, and a little comedy.  We were able to get tickets the day of the show.  The Savannah Theater is at Chippewa Square, so an easy walk from "our" house.

Also, the Parker Market is worth mentioning.  Anyone who rents an entire house wants to get some groceries for breakfast and snacks, at least, and we were there a full day before we discovered this market at the corner of E. Mc Donough and Drayton, just a block from the Savannah Theater.  It has a deli, as well as regular groceries, and has a lot of things like pints of milk that the traveler would want.  It's also a gas station.

Savannah Smiles, the piano bar, which you recommended, was a disappointment.  It was very loud; the "singers" shouted, and they had done something to the pianos to make them sound tinny.  Add to that the crude jokes, and it wasn't very entertaining, especially to us in our 50's and 60's.  Maybe the college crowd enjoyed it.  Maybe you hadn't been there in awhile.  We enjoyed Churchill's Pub and Lady and Sons, both of which got a lot of recommendations from people we talked to.  The Southern Hospitality was super.  We'd like to return!

Thank you…”  L.M., California

“…I just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our stay in the condo on W Liberty St so much!  It was beautiful and provided an excellent alternative to a hotel room.  We were so close to everything and really liked having a place to relax at the end of a long day.  We stayed Sun-Fri and it was an excellent deal, too.  I have told others about savannah getaways for their own trips but I am already looking to see when we can go back!  I will definitely rent another condo…”  S.C., Georgia

“…Just wanted to let you know how pleased we were with the lovely townhouse we stayed at last week.  Ms. Cook was kind enough to go over the lockbox instructions with me over the phone and she even came by and turned on lights in the home when she learned that we would be arriving after dark.  This was our first visit to Savannah, but definitely not our last!  Thank you all very much!...”  H.P., California

“…I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed staying at the Liberty St. property. It was very comfortable, with all the amentities of home, and in a great location too! We walked everywhere, soaked up the rich history of Savannah, and enjoyed some fine dining…We would definitely recommend the trip to others!  I appreciate the quick return of my deposit as well…Thanks for your hospitality…”  K.S., Florida

“…We stayed at rental #1026 during the Labor Day weekend and we were extremely pleased with the accommodations. I have already recommended Savannah Getaways to several friends, and I will definitely keep you in mind when planning future trips to Savannah …” M.T., North Carolina

“…Everything was excellent: the house, neighborhood, and the Park were awesome. We had an excellent stay at your place and we appreciate your good service…” C.M., Florida

“…Even though we have never met, I feel like we are family! I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful weekend for myself and my family. I wanted to thank you so much for all of your time and effort you spent on getting this weekend together for us. Everyone loved our accommodations and I have already spread the word to other family members who were not on this trip with us. Our accommodations were “icing on the cake” for such a special weekend…” K.S., Maryland

“…On behalf of the Sea Island Summit 2004 Planning Organization, I want to sincerely thank you for your hard work and the significant contribution to the success of this year's G8 Summit. Our goal was to provide seamless logistical and administrative support for the Summit , and due in great part to the tireless work of people like you, we achieved this goal. Your assistance was key, and I would especially like to thank you for your help with housing for the Credentialing Division staff. Thank you again for your contribution to the 2004 G8 Summit …” Washington , D.C.

“…just wanted to let you know that the house was adorable, and the location was perfect. We had a fabulous time! Savannah is beautiful and charming. The weekend went by too quickly! Thank you for all of your help…” H.F., New York

“…Thanks for the wonderful apartment we stayed in while we were in Savannah .  It was perfectly located so we could walk to everything.  My husband is on the road all the time with his job so he was thrilled to not have to drive for 5 days.  The apartment was very clean and appointed very nicely.  I will let all my friends know about it…” J.G., Ohio

“…Just a quick note to let you know how much my wife and I enjoyed staying at your condo in Savannah . We were there from the 12-15 November. The location was ideal and the rooms were wonderful…It helped make our 20th wedding anniversary a memorable one…” J.G., Kansas

“…Just a brief word of thanks for the lovely stay at the Barnard Cresson Carriage House.  It was PERFECT!  The place was beautiful and spotless, filled with every possible amenity (I had no problem cooking our Thanksgiving meal there). The location was fantastic, close to everything (and 4 blocks from the off ramp of the interstate, which at 1 in the morning is a blessing).  The owner couldn't have been more kind, considerate and welcoming...he even built us a fire in the fireplace and welcomed us with flowers on two tables, fresh fruit in a bowl, and wine in the frig.  We will definitely be back next year.  Our thanks…” J.F., Alabama

“…I enjoyed Savannah very much.  The condo was fine. The location was fantastic.  I would like to go back to Savannah in the near future and combine it with Charleston S.C.   I will definitely recommend you to friends.  Thanks…” B.L., New York

“…my entire group enjoyed the condo and our trip to Savannah . The condo was very well appointed and most comfortable…the location was perfect for our needs.

“…Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at the Motts' townhome in Savannah last week. It was perfect in every way for our family and our visitors.

Thanks for all your help setting this up…” H.D., Vermont

“…just a short note letting you know how much we enjoyed staying in Laura's Cottage…The place was absolutely what we were looking for. We plan on making this our spring and fall accommodations in our future visits…” P.W., North Carolina

“…We had a wonderful time…was plenty of room for all 10 of us. You had plenty of towels, pillows, bed covers, etc. It seems you thought of everything and we appreciate it…We love history and older houses, this one was wonderful and I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends…” S.K., Georgia

“…I had a most enjoyable stay…The apt. was beautifully decorated; the fresh flowers provided a warm and welcoming touch and the garage parking gave me a wonderful sense of security. I would have loved to stay longer. Maybe another time…” C.W., Alabama

“…Just got back from Savannah …What a great experience. Mark and I loved it. The grandmas loved it. It really made a week of pack in events and activities more relaxing to
come back to a home instead of a hotel room. We did a little PR for you too. On a buggy tour ride with the grandmas we went passed the apartments and told everything in the carriage the arrangement and the website of Savannah Getaways. Even the tour guide
was impressed. I'll never stay in a hotel again…” T.K., Massachusetts

“…We had a wonderful time and safe trip home.  The location was perfect since it was midway between the historic area we wanted to tour and the college our daughter will be attending.  Everything was comfortable and having the Kroger right across the street easily supplied us with the things we forgot or decided we needed as well as find the entrance to the parking are a quite easily.  Our "home away from home" was decorated beautifully…thanks again for making such a nice place available…” J.M., Georgia
