The Space:
This home was built at the turn of the century and combined the popular federal design with aspects of antebellum and colonial styles. Beautifully kept through the years, the home still features original wood flooring, an original fireplace, and original hand-crafted crown modeling. Built on the grounds of the original Trustees’ Garden, this historic area of Savannah has played a significant role in Savannah’s history. First as an experimental garden, then as various military forts and Ironworks, and now as an incredible combination of beautiful venues. You are genuinely staying atop Savannah’s history with a stay at the Portside Retreat.
Take the cobblestone sidewalks to the main structure's private entrance on the north side. Enter at street level and step into a small foyer that connects to a curtain-separated den and opens directly to the main living room. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a preserved fireplace bring you into Savannah’s rich past. The area has a new oversized sofa, smart TV ready for streaming, and a reading chase. The couch pulls out into a full mattress, with linens providing additional sleeping space. Enjoy a collection of literature found on the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf.
Separated from the living and foyer with a high ceiling draw curtain is the den configured with a new single bed, fresh linens, and a nightstand providing a perfect single-person sleeping space.
Off the living room, the door on the right leads to a galley kitchen with all new appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast nook with bench seating. The kitchen is fully appointed with everything you need to cook during your stay, including small appliances, utensils, dishware, pots, and pans. See our complete amenity list for everything included.
To the left of the kitchen is the home’s ensuite featuring a private bathroom. A brand-new mattress wrapped in crisp linens provides a restful night's sleep, and stylish décor is accented by an abundance of natural light pouring in from the large window.
The bathroom has a new vanity, toilet, and shower/tub combination. Find all the essentials, including toilet paper, towels, body wash, shampoo, and a hair dryer.
