Close To Town But Short On Beds
Here's a few things to know in advance: 1.) The twin beds do NOT exist. It is a full size bed. Two of us had to share a bed and that was NOT part of the plan. We had enough beds for each of us to have our own bed, according to the online description. That was not the case. 2.) We are from Louisiana. We are used to humidity and heat. The A/C unit was not as we'd hoped. The middle room (master) stayed cold. The rest of us had fans blowing on us all night and didn't use the blankets much. It was warmer than these old ladies like to sleep. 3.) In the "twin" room there is a skylight. If your plans are to party all night and sleep all day, don't forget you're eye mask. We went to multiple to stores to find masks and were unable to find any. It's VERY bright in that room. If you're like me, you like to sleep in the dark. I might as well have been sleeping outside. No need for lights in that room. It's very bright. The location was good. The place was clean.

Cute for tiny family
Adorable place in a great location. We didn't notice on the booking information there wasn't a dishwasher but made eating in with a family of 4 less than desirable (good thing Savannah has such amazing restaurants). A shade over the back bedroom skylight would improve the sleeping situation. Also, I'd suggest getting rid of the barstools and adding another comfortable chair to accommodate 4 people.

Girls weekend
This property was very cute and fitting for a weekend in Savannah. It was walking distance to everything in the historic district. The area was quiet, the courtyard was perfect for morning coffee and evening drinks. Only a couple of suggestions for your future renters: the skylight is brutal for trying to sleep past 7am after a night of drinking. Great for natural light, but not during a hangover. Also the rug in the 2nd bedroom needs to be changed or cleaned, its worn and dirty looking. We did have to scoot the living room furniture around a tidge for everyone (3 of us) to be able to see the tv- and I had to use the remote from the bedroom to control the living room tv bc the 4 that were there did not work. Overall cool place and Id stay there again despite those things. Oh- the skylight in the second bathroom is also leaking- that should definitely be inspected.

Great location
Very nice stay with my bff. Walked to everything and there was so much to see and do! Food was great. People were so friendly. The cottage is very quaint and small, yet lovely. The second bedroom appears to be a porch that has been enclosed. It was a bit warm and stuffy, but using a fan took care of this issue. Not sure how it would be in the heat of summer. But the bed was comfy and I really loved the brick walls and vintage decor. Overall a great girl’s getaway trip. Food and drinks in Savannah are awesome!! I would suggest supplying some wine glasses. But we didn’t cook, instead took advantage of the amazing nearby restaurants! I hope to return and would stay here again.

This was this easiest rental process I have ever been through. Download an app and go. The app provided every detail for us to get in our house and once in example Wi-Fi pw, codes, checkout. It was very user friendly. Nice clean house, in walking distance to a lot of food and fun places! We had four adults on the trip and had a blast.

Our little home for the weekend!
My two BFFs and I stayed here for the weekend and had a wonderful time. The apartment was clean, there were plenty of towels, the beds were comfy, the bathrooms were clean and we had great water pressure in the showers. There is parking and a cute little garden. We were close to everything, the river and city market, walking wasn't an issue. It was really cold that weekend, so we ended up hanging out at the apartment one afternoon. The sofa isn't the most comfortable, but we made it work. I would stay here every time I come to Savannah. Also, I called Lucky Savannah a few times with questions and they were SO HELPFUL and SO VERY NICE! Thank you again!

Do not stay here
I book a getaway for me and my 1 year old daughter. This was the dirtiest place I have ever stayed at. Floors were dirty, the bedding smelled like a mama sweaty apartment. I will say the property management did right by me and offered a refund. The location is spectacular I was able to walk with a stroller to dinner and breakfast. My daughter loved it, that was the best part about our trip.

Great location
This was a last minute find when our other location was actually sold. This place cost significantly more for less space in comparison. It was raining when we got there and had multiple leaks from the ceiling upon arrival. The one bed was soaked. A handy man was out quickly to give us large buckets to collect the water. We worked around the buckets, moving beds, etc for our stay. We were not impressed with the quality of this home given the high rental fees.

Nice 5-day stay
We had a lovely time in Savannah and liked the Wakefield Cottage. The location was great for us; we appreciated the parking spot and found the space to be comfortable. Unfortunately, the WiFi wasn't working during our stay. The kitchen could use some larger pots for guests who may want to cook at home, but there are so many restaurants close by that it is also very easy to eat out or get food to bring home.

Cute cottage
The location was great, within walking distance to many restaurants, shopping, riverfront, and a park/ square where we could walk our dog. The house was cute and cozy but dated bathrooms, cracked plaster, water stained ceilings and the rear yard was over grown with weeds. The water pressure and temperature in shower was very low. I like a hot shower in the morning but that was a challenge. The location made up for the negative features and the basic rental rate was reasonable for location.

Disappointed
Overall, I was quite disappointed with my experience at Wakefield Cottage. At check-in, my daughter and I attempted to enter but were unable to find a key. Coincidentally, an employee of Lucky Savannah drove by and informed us that the key had not been replaced by housekeeping the previous day. A man in the car asked us if we were going to need the parking space reserved for the house as his work van was parked there. We told him that we would need that space. It didn't occur to us that we'd have to ask to have access to the one parking space that came with our unit. After a few moments, a different employee of Lucky Savannah arrived with the key. When we went in, we immediately found a dirty pair of pajama pants on the floor of the back bedroom. I went out front and flagged down the person who'd brought the key and told her about the pajama pants and she came in and got them. We also found a pair of hose also on the bedroom floor (in addition to an unclean kitchen and a general smell of stale cigarettes). These items were in clear view of anyone who had been tasked with cleaning before our arrival. This VRBO was chosen because, as a local, I knew that it is in close proximity to the Morris Center where my daughter was getting married on Saturday. We'd planned to have the bridesmaids get ready at our place and take pictures in the lovely courtyard pictured in the listing. When we saw the courtyard, we immediately knew we'd have to change our plans. There were numerous huge limbs laying in the courtyard that we cleaned up ourselves. It was dirty and definitely NOT where I'd like to enjoy my morning coffee as the listing suggested. Sunday morning, I underestimated how many trips to my home it would take to deliver all of the wedding paraphernalia and I ran late checking out. Jamela from Lucky Savannah called about 11:30 to check on our progress and I told her I was getting our things out as fast as I could and I would notify her when I was out. As I was leaving to take another load, I saw housekeeping waiting outside. I told them I would be right back for the last load. As soon as I drove away, Jamela called to say I hadn't left the key. I tried to tell her what I'd told housekeeping, but she became loud and belligerent. I hung up the phone. Jamela immediately called back and my daughter took the call. Again, she was rude and completely unprofessional. From the beginning of my stay to the very end, I was VERY disappointed.
