SVR-00090 | City of Savannah Short-Term Vacation Rental Certificate holder

The Clara offers all the comfortable and cozy luxuries you’re looking for AND provides 2 free private/designated off-street parking spaces with ample on street (non-metered) parking also available. We have amassed a stellar review history from countless dozens of groups who have enjoyed this rental home through the years.

The Clara is located in the historic Victorian District, within a leisurely 5 minute walk to Savannah’s iconic Forsyth Park, the largest park in all of historic downtown Savannah. Enjoy the day strolling the 1.2 miles out the front door of "The Clara" under Spanish moss draped trees to the cobblestones of River Street all while exploring our beautiful Savannah Squares, quaint shops, and eateries along the way!


About the home:
Experience a 'step back in time" by staying among Strous Row, circa 1891, townhomes. "The Clara", aptly named for one of Margaret Strous’ daughters who grew up next door more than a century ago, The Clara showcases beautiful Victorian architectural details inside and out and is furnished with period antique furnishings we have collected over many years from all over Georgia.

Entering “The Clara” vacation home you’ll find a large living area with comfortable seating including a sofa, loveseat, flat screen HD-TV, DVD player, drop-leaf table with two chairs, and a secretary desk. (A comfy twin roll-away bed with foam mattress is stored with extra linens in the closet under the stairs.)

The formal dining room with semi-open floorplan to the living room offers a 6-seat dining room table with a buffet server and cozy reading chair. An additional 6-seat dining table is located adjacent in the breakfast room to accommodate a total of 12 dining guests.

The kitchen is modern and well equipped with all cooking and kitchenware to prepare a fine meal. Fridge with icemaker and filtered water dispenser. Dishwasher and disposal. Electric smooth top range and oven. Microwave, blender, toaster, and both 12-cup + k-cup coffee makers.

Step out the french doors from the kitchen onto the classic back porch with charming wicker furniture overlooking our private courtyard…a perfect place to sip morning coffee and bird watch for red cardinals, our resident mourning doves, or the occasional squirrel.

A full bath is located downstairs off the kitchen with a vintage claw foot tub with shower combo. The second, near identical full bath, is located upstairs adjacent to the large laundry/dressing room conveniently autonomous of the bedrooms (so as not to disturb any sleeping beauties when the bath is in use late night or early morning).

The grand staircase takes you to the 2nd floor where the aforementioned full bath and dressing/laundry room is located in addition to 3 large bedrooms, and a 4th bedroom known as the ‘trunk room’.

The ‘master’ bedroom is bright and sunny with the beautiful bay window, two full/double beds that sleep four, a large dresser, matching antique ‘washstand’ with seating area, closet, and TV.

The second bedroom boasts the comfy King bed, dresser, closet, a recliner, and TV.

The third sunny bedroom is furnished with the queen bed, large wicker dresser, and TV.

The fourth bedroom or Trunk room, a customary Savannah term used in our historic homes, comfortable accommodates a full size bed and dresser.

Amenities:
Two designated off-street parking spaces are provided as an added bonus! Just 2 blocks to Forsyth Park, private courtyard to enjoy, 2 charming exterior porches, free wifi, well-stocked kitchen and ample linens, washer/dryer, AND personable, local Savannah owners to contact if you need anything during your stay!

#1: Spacious bedroom with two Full beds, seating area, large dresser, TV

* Extra sleeping accommodations for guests or children to spread out include: 1 Twin portable Rollaway bed stored in downstairs closet. (A portable play-yard may be made available, but please request in advance for availability.)

Note: While we can sleep 11 in beds, the home is a great spacious choice for a maximum of 10 adults ONLY in compliance with the City of Savannah ordinance. For larger groups, or if an additional rental is needed, we can accommodate more in our neighboring, 'sister' homes, “The Janie” (listing ID #675585) as well as "The Stella" (listing #971160) or in one of our other vacation rentals in the Historic District of Downtown Savannah that we own and personally manage.

Note:
Pedicabs (Savannah’s version of a rickshaw) will deliver passengers to the south end of Forsyth Park, just 2 blocks from “The Clara”. They work for tips and the experience is a fun way to transverse the streets. At night, we recommend a cab or rideshares to get to and from the home to the entertainment district around River Street and City Market.

We may require a 3-night minimum on weekends most months of the year, so please inquire prior to booking for a quote.

We love our guests and want them to have a fabulous time. It is important to note that in Downtown Savannah the homes are very close together and full time residents do live next to the vacation rental homes. In order to respect your neighbors we ask for 'quiet hours' after 10pm. This simply means don't play loud music inside or out, refrain from shouting, etc. Remember when you are on the porches you can be heard very well by the surrounding residents. We simple do not tolerate obnoxious or drunken behavior. Thank you for your respect and understanding.
