The condo was immaculate and even nicer than the pictures. The host provided detailed instructions and was very responsive when we reached out. The location was wonderful, not far from town and places to eat but far enough away to have privacy and quiet. Highly recommend!

My husband, 3 year old daughter, and I stayed in the Savannah City View Unit. It was everything and more! The unit was updated and had all modern appliances but they were still able to keep that historic charm with the exposed brick and original features. My husband and daughter absolutely loved the movie theater room with the reclining massage chairs! I loved that we were able to walk to everything, if you’ve ever been to downtown Savannah you know how hard it is to find parking. We left our car in the parking garage all weekend and it was so convient! We will definitely be back soon!

Julie and her team have been nothing short of amazing. They were given an impossible task on an even more impossible deadline and made it happen like it was an everyday thing. When roadblocks popped up, they always had an answer. Attention to detail, check. Communication - supurb. Kindness - you bet. As an investor, you couldn't find someone with more knowledge and skill to help you meet your goals. I'm very lucky to have been paired with Julie and her team and hope that this is the start of a long investing journey together. Thank y'all!!

We had a wonderful stay and was just perfect for our group of 13. The house was spacious, clean, with a nice dock for fishing and crabbing. We will certainly be back.

My family and I and our 2 fur babies stayed here. The host was very responsive and answered all questions we had. The place is very lovely and as pictured. We had the oppurtunity to relax and unwind and enjoy each others company. Plenty of board games for the children. The house was spacious and everything that we expected it to be. We will definanlty stay her again.

Exactly as advertised. The location can’t be beat. Had one little hiccup upon arrival with door access, but phone support person offered an immediate response and solution. Lovely space inside, immaculate, well fitted out with every required amenity. Well done to sidwashere.

The location really can't be beat and being able to sit at the window of an historic home looking out at one of the squares was beautiful. The house is very spacious. Beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. The spare bedrooms are a little small but still comfortable. The master bedroom is truly a master

We loved our stay. The apartment is centrally located to many attractions. From the coffee shop next door to the many restaurants and easy walk to the waterfront, it’s a perfect spot. It’s very quiet considering the location. The place was spotless and comfortable. We would definitely return!

Communication was clear and prompt. This location is perfect. Easy to walk to just about anywhere. Ample space, very clean and kitchen well stocked if needed. The bed and bedding were very comfortable. Shower was great. I suggest keeping the bed room door closed to keep the room warm during cold weather. The front door leaks outside air in. There is a great Thai restaurant across the street and a coffee shop next door.

This was a great place. I would definitely recommend it. It was fall and I really enjoyed cocktails on the rooftop patio. I wish it was available for St Patrick’s day:)

Why a $50 STR Refresh Beats a Renovation

Guests do not book a renovation. They book a photograph. A lamp that lifts a dark corner, a mirror that widens a small room, and matching hangers in a closet all change the picture a guest sees before they change anything about the property itself.

An STR refresh is also reversible and testable. Spend fifty dollars a room, reshoot, and watch what the listing does over the next thirty days. If nothing moves, you have lost fifty dollars. A renovation does not give you that option.

The longer-stay version of this thinking is in The 30-Day Stay, which Julie Gates co-wrote for BiggerPockets Publishing. If you would rather hand the whole thing over, see our Savannah property management service.
