Southern Belle Vacation Rentals in Savannah, GA, and Tybee Island, GA provides first-class amenities including access to our exclusive resort-style heated pool located at 19 Silver Avenue, Tybee Island GA. All of our homes are professionally cleaned after each stay, and disinfected using a quaternary disinfectant throughout the entire property prior to each new arrival.

Welcome to CraftSmith Cottage on Charlton, a charming freestanding cottage in Savannah's Historic District. Exceptionally quiet, this freestanding private cottage offers many cozy indoor and outdoor nooks to relax while “living like a local.” Enjoy a glass of lemonade on the front porch overlooking a sweet garden of camellia and azalea. Or, dine al fresco in the airy screened porch, which opens to a paved backyard patio and garden.

Comfortable, serene space

Recently updated and furnished, the cottage offers serenity in the living room with its stylish, comfortable chairs and couch, Smart TV, local art, and heritage tables made of reclaimed wood. Twin beds in the guest room and a queen bed in the primary suite offer brand new pillowtop comfort. Beautiful wood floors gleam throughout the home, and sunlight streams through three sides of historic windows in the living room. Vaulted ceilings help the 820-square foot gem “live large.” A modern galley kitchen includes granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A front-loading washer and dryer are in the spacious dressing area between the primary bedroom and light-filled master bath. The hall bathroom lies across from the guest bedroom and features a pedestal sink and full bath/shower.

Close to everything

Unprecedented in downtown Savannah, the CraftSmith Cottage boasts 2 private parking spots behind the cottage. But, you’ll probably find yourself walking everywhere. You’re just a few blocks away from author Flannery O’Connor’s childhood home, Colonial Cemetery, and the historic St. John the Baptist cathedral. A leisurely stroll through the leafy squares of Savannah will bring you to a bountiful array of coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques. Return home to the CraftSmith Cottage for elegant comfort and artful style.

Lovely Home Away from Home

Reviewed on 2025-11-04 by Suzanne

Overall

Our stay at Craftsmith Cottage was very comfortable. We were provided with everything that we needed. We did run into one issue which was very quickly resolved. The beds were extremely comfortable and the towels were soft and cozy! The location was great and very quiet. The only thing missing were facial tissues which is a minor oversight.

Craftsmith Cottage was delighful. It is in a quiet neighborhood and easy to get to. Parking was great. We had just the one car and parked at the front door but there are two more spaces in the back. The cottage is well equipped. We didn't do any cooking but everything you need is there. We had a wonderful time and so enjoyed the feeling of home instead of staying in a hotel. We would definitely stay there again.

This cottage met all of our needs while we helped our daughter settle into her first semester of SCAD. Perfect starting point to explore the city from, very walkable to most attractions. Nice to step outside the front door and have a parking spot too!

My girlfriends and I booked this cottage for a relaxing trip away from work. The location of the cottage was perfect. We walked everywhere. The cottage itself was charming, roomy and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the home was very clean and well kept. The property management team checked in often to be sure we had everything we needed. There is private parking, which was an amazing find. There is a cute enclosed back porch area that is perfect for morning coffee or mimosas.

The cottage was delightful! The location was conveniently located in the historic district which allowed us to walk to all the historic sites and tours, museums, mansions and restaurants. The beds were comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed. We especially loved sitting on the back screened in porch every morning and evening. The cottage was clean and bright. We had a wonderful stay.

Craftsman Cottage

Reviewed on 2022-04-24 by Denise

Overall

My husband and I, along with our 2 young adult children stayed in Craftsman Cottage. We had stayed one street over on Jones Street last summer. Craftsman Cottage offered the same great location in a smaller and much more affordable package. While smaller, it was certainly comfortable and had everything we needed. The extra room in the back that has 2 walls that are largely screened was a perfect blend of indoor/outdoor space and we used it extensively. We would definitely rent this cottage again and would recommend it to others as well. The management company was very responsive when we reached out about a missing key. The house is walkable to everything you want in Savannah itself and a short drive (approximately 30 min) to Tybee Island for some beach activities. I hope to be able to come back. Savannah is a perfect package of history, architecture, city life and fabulous gardens and trees.

The cottage was so cute and extremely clean. Everything we needed was provided. We enjoyed having a drink both on the front deck and the back porch. The only caution is that the doors lock if the button is pushed in and you could easily get locked out if you didn't keep a key with you! We had a few scares! This was the perfect place for a girls trip and we would highly recommend it.

We all whacked our thighs on the bed footboards and got nasty bruises. With limited clearance around the beds, you should not have footboards that have corners that stick out. You should remove the footboards or replace them with rounded ones that don't stick out.

our experience was excellent. We rented a place in Florida a few years back with outdoor screened pool near Disney for $100 night that was very nice also. That was 10 years ago. More importantly, I was going to use Air BNB but when I started to try to book, prices jumped. I started looking at various cleaning fees, etc. Did web search and found your website. I liked info. on places you had, calendar easy to use for booking, and prices were reasonable and VERY easy to understand. You have a better mouse trap IMO.
