Lovely
week in Savannah Ga! What an amazing
city and the experience so enhanced by
our stay in the charming old McDonough
house in the historic district. The
kitchen while maintaining its old charm
is equipped in totally new modern
appliances.
We narrowed our choice to this site
based in part on the prompt phone and
e-mail hospitality extended during our
search by our gracious host Sheila.
When staying in a city like Savannah the
experience simply would not be complete
without staying in a charming old
historic home.
We were able to walk to many of the
historic churches and other sites.
Transportation is readily available
also. We enjoyed our very informative
Trolley tour. Younger couples could
probably walk everywhere from McDonough,
especially in cooler months. We drove to
Tybee Island one morning.
As Seniors with cranky hips and knees we
had difficulty (but managed)accessing
the whirlpool/shower tub combination, so
this should be a consideration in your
decision if you have any limitations.
Otherwise, we do recommend and our
rating is 4 1/2 stars due only to our
difficulty with the shower
accommodations.
Note: The advertisement mentioned Washer
and dryer in the downstairs unit so we
were surprised to find note "for
housekeeping only'. attached to the
laundry appliances. Savannah was the
second part of our trip so we had
planned to use if needed.
The McDonough home will be a significant
part of a wonderful, memorable stay in a
truly beautiful city.
By the way we ate wonderful food
everywhere but don't miss the Pirate
House.
Our thanks and maybe we will see you
again.

Owner's Response:
Thank you Helen, you are
a gracious guest! Sorry for the note,
the dryer was closed for parts ordering!
Will be running for your next visit. The
staff placed that message rather than
out of order....you would be surprised
how many husbands would try to repair.
Perfect Place!

We
recently spent a week at this rental in
downtown Savannah and found the location
to be exactly what we wanted... Any cab
ride was less than $10 from the home and
the upstairs balcony was the perfect
place to relax before or after a night
on the town. Shelia was extremely
accommodating and the extra perk of a
Jacuzzi tub was great after golf or
shopping . The kitchen was beautifully
appointed and the high ceilings made the
apartment feel much larger as did the
airy layout. I guarantee after time
spent at the McDonough house... You'll
want to stay longer. Thanks Shelia for
opening your beautiful rental home to
us!

Hi Shelia, Sorry this took so long.
I just wanted to let you know how much
my sister, niece and I loved both
McDonough House and the cottage.
We had a wonderful time in Savannah and
at Tybee Island -- the cottage is just
gorgeous.
Thank you!

My girlfriends and I stayed in
the bottom unit a couple of weeks ago for
a long weekend and could not
have had a better trip! The house is close
to everything, we walked
everywhere we went, and it was the perfect
size. For 4 girls how
definitely know how to overpack there was plenty
of room for us and all of our
stuff! Never having to worry about parking was
another plus.
When we make another trip to Savannah we will definitely be contacting
Shelia again!
Thanks again for letting us stay
in your home! |

I have been so busy since
we got home from Savannah, but I wanted to touch
base with you and let you know how much we
enjoyed your home. It was so nice to have
such a roomy place to come back to during the
day to relax before going back out in the
evening for dinner, etc. If, or I should
say when, we come back we will be sure to
contact you! I have already told friends
to let me know before they make hotel
reservations in Savannah to consider checking
availability with you for the house.
Thank you again!

This is our second time staying here while in
Savannah-----I would recommend it to anyone.
Very comfortable and close to the center of
town. The owner is an awesome lady and I was
glad we were able to meet her in person this
time around!
Wonderful Property with
Savannah Hospitality!

Stayed
in McDonough House when we brought our son to
school at SCAD. Perfect location, within walking
distance of entire Historic District and River
Street and Kroger's grocery store is just a
short drive away. Wonderful amenities like full
size kitchen and Jacuzzi tub! Off street parking
was so convenient and the neighborhood is quiet.
Allows dogs and our dog Jackson loved it there
and was very comfortable. The duplex is nicely
decorated and we felt very at home during our
son's transition. We would definitely stay there
again. Thank you Sheila!!!
Thank you again for allowing
us to stay in your home.
Owners Response: Thank you so much for your kind
words and for appreciating our Home as we
do.....we recommend our rental as a "home away
from home" and we obviously succeeded! Please
come again soon....Shelia

We could
only stay one night, but it was so very
comfortable. We had the pleasure of meeting the
owner as we pulled up he was finishing the
maintenance and he let us in. He was the
warmest, friendliest person. The home offered
everything we needed, plus more. I would ,and
will ,recommend this home to my friends and
family. I never realized how beautiful Savannah
was. Thank you for the experience.

The
description is true to the McDonough House -
spacious 1 bedroom, 1 bath with lounging space,
a great kitchen and all the interesting bits of
an older restored home. It was very clean and
well maintained. Sheila, the owner was so very
helpful, friendly and pleasant to work with. She
has a great book of tips and tours and
restaurants, with some marked as her favorites.
I stayed with 4 good friends on the first floor,
and we had enough space for us, our stuff and
'hanging out'. I would highly recommend the
McDonough House to anyone looking for a
convenient, comfortable, well priced place to
stay. We easily walked to the sights downtown
and driving to/from was simple, and parked the
car right outside our door.
Savannah is a walking city. The architecture is
amazing, the people were friendly and the food
was delicious! The beaches at Tybee Island were
beautiful too. Make a plan today to get there
and enjoy yourselves.

My adult daughter and I stayed in the
lower level apartment at this property for four
nights in March 2008. It's in a great location
on the east side of the city & within walking
distance to all the tourist sites in downtown
Savannah. It was clean & comfortable. The owner
promptly responded to inquiries and was
courteous and helpful. We highly recommend it.

A great location in a safe place in the
Historic District. We were able to walk to Bay
Street, the River Walk, City Market, Forsyth
Park, and Colonial Cemetery (right around the
corner). And, there was *free* parking right in
front of the condo (rare in the historic
district). A 10 minute drive to Bonaventure and
a 15 min. drive out to Tybee Island.
The condo itself is clean and nicely renovated.
It also has some informative guides of things to
do around town.
The owner was wonderful to work with and will
stay here again!
