Stunning Downtown c.1890 Estate w\/ Wraparound Porch by Lucky Savannah
About this house rental
Nestled in Savannah, this lovely house for $1,105 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. This spacious 5BR estate was designed in 1890 by Hyman Witcover (architect of Savannah’s beautiful gold-domed City Hall) for prominent Savannah native, Simon P. Kehoe. Simon was the son of William Kehoe, beloved citizen and founder of The Kehoe Iron Works. After undergoing an expansive restoration, ‘The Simon’ offers a one-of-a-kind Savannah experience. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of the city’s most well-preserved examples of the Queen Anne Revival architectural style. THE LOCATION Located just off of Lafayette Square, The Simon is in the heart of Savannah’s historic district. You’ll find the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the Hamilton-Turner House and the Andrew Low House mere steps from the front porch. Situated right around the corner is Pinkie Masters, McDonough’s, and Hitch. Walk a few squares to the south and find Forsyth Park with nearby coffee shops and a weekly farmer’s market. Less than a half-mile away, explore the SCAD campus or enjoy a show at the Savannah Theater. Architecture buffs can stop by the Davenport House Museum or Owens-Thomas House, then visit Leopold’s Ice Cream for a sweet treat. KITCHEN & DINING You’ll find everything you need to prepare delicious meals in the well-appointed kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and high-end cookware. A convenient cocktail and coffee bar includes all the right tools for morning and evening beverages. Gather for meals at the in-kitchen dining table, the intimate breakfast nook, at the formal dining room with seating for 10, or outside on the porch. LIVING ROOM Lounge in the main living area that accommodates your entire group, while unwinding listening to some tunes on the Sonos speaker. The vivid sun-filled parlor overlooks the sprawling front porch and quiet Harris Street. The architectural focal point from the interior is the original tiger oak mantle with ornate columns and intricately carved faces. Dramatic leaded windows in the entry hall cast waves of rainbow prisms into the living area on sunny afternoons. BED & BATH Bedrooms are open and airy with high ceilings and tall windows. There are two full baths on the first floor, and two full baths upstairs. The first-floor primary bedroom is fitted with a plush king bed, en-suite bath with walk-in shower, and access to the very-private side porch. A lovely staircase leads to the second floor with four guest bedrooms. The second bedroom has the king bed nestled into the beautiful bay window, which is a prime feature of the Queen Anne Revival style. The large bedroom is fitted with the original fireplace and a private dressing nook with full length mirror. The third bedroom has a king bed, original fireplace, and a beautiful leaded glass window. The cozy fourth bedroom boasts a colorful fireplace and a queen bed. The roomy second-floor primary has a king bed, en-suite bath, and a view of the Cathedral spire. An adjacent bonus den has a queen sleeper sofa and desk. OUTDOOR AREA & AMENITIES Stroll the sidewalks under the Spanish moss-draped Live Oaks until you find the right spot to linger. Many guests declare their favorite spot in Savannah is The Simon’s wraparound porch. Reserved parking is available for three vehicles at the back of the house. Complimentary Wi-Fi, YouTube TV, Smart flat-screen TVs in each bedroom, and a washer/dryer are provided.

We booked the house to celebrate a birthday and could not have asked for a better experience. The house was great: perfect location, very well appointed, and a good balance of preserving the history while being updated for vacation stays. The reservation, check-in, and follow-up processes were clear, simple, and efficient. We would definitely consider staying at this location again.

This luxurious and spacious rental was the perfect place for our extended family to stay during a family wedding. It was extremely clean with many thoughtful amenities - would highly recommend. Having three parking spots is a huge plus in the Historic district.

Negatives: Rental company gave us the wrong code at check-in but this was quickly resolved. Trash bin and recycle bin were full, we called 3 times to have it emptied but to no avail. Not enough trash bags in house, not enough paper towels. Back of house backs up to an ally with a bar on corner. Sketchy people hanging out in ally, smoking pot, etc.
Positives: Beautiful period home from 1890 with modern amenities like tankless hot water heater, good internet and good streaming tv options. House is well appointed, very comfortable, lots of space for our family of 10 with three young children. Walk-able to River Street and Forsyth Park. Would rent again.

Our family loves staying at the Simon during our recent visit to Savannah. The location is a beautiful area of the city and so convenient to many historic sites, restaurants, and activities. The house had a wonderful layout for our group of 6 adults and 3 children. Everyone had their own space and bathroom. The 2 dedicated parking spots were also super helpful!

This is a lovely old house smack in the middle of the Historic District. 5 minute walk to the waterfront and surrounded by lovely city park blocks. House was in good condition and all bedrooms were pleasant. My only 'beef' is the cleaning fee was very high (and non-negotiable) for a quick stay.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was in the perfect location and it was easy to walk everywhere. It is right next to a bar and a restaurant, but it was never too noisy. The burrito place right next door was terrible - no one could eat the food cause it was so salty, and I love salt! There was a great restaurant named j. Christopher’s right across the street and a cute diner namer Clary’s down the road. The house was clean, but the bottom of my daughter’s feet were black after she ran around barefoot for an hour. We loved the games that were there. It’s an old house so we weren’t surprised at some little things like the door knobs not turning well or it taking 5 min to get hot water in the shower - they even warn you with signs in the bathroom. Honestly, it just added to the charm of the place. Overall we were very happy and we were sad to leave!

Reviewer Comments:
The house is beautiful and the location can't be beat. But, there are a couple issues that made it less than perfect. First of all, even though there is a note on the front door and instructions in the book, we could not enter through the front door. We could not get the brass lock to disengage. This should really be fixed as it made our stay inconvenient.Secondly, the bathroom layout isn't the best, which is difficult to understand with the description. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms and a pull out sofa, but only 2 bathrooms. Yet, there are 2 full bathrooms downstairs with only one bedroom.Third, this home is difficult for elderly people to stay in. The only ways in the home are up stairs. Also, the bed is too high in the downstairs bedroom and it is so large, there is not room to get around the bed with a walker or wheelchair. Even though I thought it would work with the description on the website, my elderly mother had to check into a hotel instead. Other than those issues, it was a great place to stay.

We came for our daughters wedding. The home was beautiful and clean but there was an odor of septic waste in the back foyer that was hard to mask. It lingered throughout our entire stay. The location was outstanding and close to everything , linens were clean and fresh, and the house stocked well for our stay. Very lovely home with attention to detail. You could tell the owners care for their home and want their guests to have a very nice experience. WIFI was hit or miss. On a another note..I called the management company on three occasions - the days before and the day of arrival (speaking with Vincent and then Kaitlin) to see if we could get an early check in and was told that I would get a notification on my app if housekeeping finished up early ( Kaitlin expressed this to me on the day of check in as we were riding in circles to kill time in the rain for a couple of hours). We finally drove on to the property about 30 minutes early and called management again and was helped by a very nice lady who said she would assist us checking in and that the property had not been used before our arrival and was ready to go. Why couldn't this have been looked up before? Just a quick glance at the computer would have gone a long way. This was my second unprofessional interaction with Kaitlin..the first being when I finally gave up getting her assistance with booking a property (she kept sending me properties outside of my specifications), she disagreed, and I ended up researching/finding the properties for our two very large groups myself instead. Maybe some customer service retraining?

The Simon house is in a great location that allows you to walk to all of the area's attractions. It was great to be able to park the car in our designated parking space and not have to worry about traffic or parking during our entire stay. This home is an exquisite grand dame. It is elegant, but at the same time spacious and comfortable. If you want a true historic Savannah experience with modern amenities, I highly recommend this gorgeous home.

We loved this house. Plenty of space for everyone, very well stocked with essentials, very clean, perfect location! I especially enjoyed having morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the porch. The only criticism I have is that there are no full length mirrors which was annoying when getting ready, but it certainly wouldn't stop us from booking this property again! We really did love our time there.

We enjoyed this property! It was in a good location downtown, very well equipped, and exactly like it was described. The parking in back was really nice, having stayed downtown before without dedicated free parking in the past. The wrap around porch is just the quintessential Savannah vibe, and we loved it! Check in and communication was smooth, we overall were impressed with this property and would stay here again.

The Simon was the perfect fit for our group of 5 women celebrating their 75th birthdays who have been friends for 70 years. The ambience, location and cleanliness, and helpfulness were great. We'll recommend to others.
5.0
Our whole family (except the bride) stayed at The Simon. All the 6 grandchildren and their parents and the mother & father of the bride. It was spacious and well equipped. We saved the biggest and most elegant bedroom for the bridal party hair and makeup and there was plenty of room to spread out and dress. Lots of great light. We also hosted a morning after brunch and the house was spectacular for that. The kitchen was so beautifully stocked with everything we could have imagined for the brunch. We had “taste of Savannah” in each room. Everyone had such a good time and the house provided such a warm and inviting space with a lovely fluidity of the rooms! The wrap-around porch was just a delightful place to hang and helped create a casual, at-home atmosphere. The deep tub made for a very welcome hot soak for the mother of the bride once the festivities were done. Of course, all the other on-site wedding activities were front and center but our family and the wedding guests will be talking about The Simon whenever they talk about this wedding!

Absolutely Loved!!!
We chose this house to celebrate some friends turning 40, the location was great, we were close to restaurants, a great karaoke place, 10 min walk from shopping and about 15 mins from river street. There was plenty of space for us all to spread out and we loved the charm of the old house, bed were comfortable and we had our own parking spots which was a huge plus!

We rented the Simon for a last minute girls weekend and it was beyond perfect. Right in the middle of town, walkable to coffee shops and dinners. I literally texted my family while we were there saying "We have to do a family reunion here". Lucky Rentals was SO helpful, allowing us to store our luggage before and after check in/out so we could continue to enjoy our day in Savannah. 10000% recommend.
