Starland Stays With Soul
Rentals near Savannah’s most creative district
The Rentals We’d Actually Book Ourselves
Welcome to the other side of Savannah — where murals outnumber moss, and your morning coffee comes from a record-playing café down the block. The Starland Yard District is younger, edgier, and full of creative momentum. It’s not walkable to River Street (and that’s kind of the point), but it’s perfect if you want to feel like a local in a neighborhood still writing its story.
We’ve reviewed hundreds of listings to find the few that actually feel right — places within walking distance to the good stuff (think Brochu’s, Lone Wolf, Moodrights) and full of charm that fits the neighborhood.
No generic condos. No SEO stuffing. Just real homes we’d tell our friends to stay in.
🌟 How These Listings Are Chosen
I’ve hosted guests in Savannah for over three years through my own two high-rated rentals — so I know firsthand what makes a stay feel right. Every listing here was picked by hand (no automation, no fluff) based on real soul, good design, and a genuinely great location for this area.
If this were about commissions, there’d be dozens of listings. But it’s not. It’s about curation, not clutter.
Some links are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission (at no cost to you). That helps keep Be Our Gaston personal, ad-free, and fully editorial — always.
🎨 Design-Forward Apartment in the Heart of Starland
Starland District, Savannah | 2BR, 2BA | Sleeps 4
This isn’t your average “near the Historic District” rental. It’s actually in Starland — close to spots like The Vault, Foxy Loxy, and Cotton & Rye — and feels like it was decorated by someone who understands both symmetry and funk. Velvet furniture, exposed brick, gallery-worthy wall colors, and that perfect tension between moody and soft. It’s not precious, but it’s definitely styled.
The layout makes group stays easy: two bedrooms (king + queen), two full baths, and a surprisingly luxe soaking tub if you’re the stay-in type. The kitchen’s a dream if you're into cooking — but you’re surrounded by enough food and drink options to justify never touching the stove. Bonus: there’s a private patio for morning coffee or late-night wind downs, plus free street parking (with signs to watch for sweep nights).
🌟 Best for: style-conscious travelers who want space, walkability, and a splash of color
📍 Walk to: The Vault, Starland Yard, Green Truck, Big Bon Bodega, Victory North
🛁 Soaking tub: confirmed, and gorgeous
🌸 Victorian Apartment with Balcony Soaking Tub + Bold Style
Starland District, Savannah | 3BR, 2BA | Sleeps 6
A second-floor Starland flat that actually delivers on the name: style. From the pink fireplaces to the palm-print rug and that punchy red fridge, this 3-bedroom apartment nails that sweet spot between playful and put-together. It’s housed in a classic Victorian, but the vibe is more “group getaway” than museum piece — complete with two full baths (one with a soaking tub and balcony view), TVs in two bedrooms, and a living-space-meets-bedroom setup perfect for travelers who want flexibility.
You’re just steps from Starland Yard, The Vault, Foxy Loxy, Ardsley Station, and basically everything in this indie little pocket of Savannah. The private patio is ideal for morning coffee or people-watching over happy hour. Great for groups, especially those who want walkability without the downtown crowds.

🌿 Historic Hideaway with Courtyard & Hot Tub
Starland District, Savannah | 2BR, 2.5BA | Sleeps 5
This soulful two-bedroom home in Savannah’s Starland District was handpicked for its honest charm, walkable location, and layered character. Inside, you'll find original fireplaces with exposed brick, curated artwork (including a bold bedroom gallery wall), and the kind of lived-in warmth that can’t be faked. The 2.5 bathrooms make it an easy choice for small groups or friends traveling together.
The location? A dream if you’re here to explore Starland by foot. Brochu’s, Starland Yard, Moodrights, Ardsley Station, and Lone Wolf are all just a short stroll away. When you're not out and about, retreat to the private courtyard — quiet, leafy, and home to a seasonal hot tub. Out front, two classic porch chairs invite slow Southern mornings under the moss.
🪴 Best for: vibe-driven travelers who care where they stay — not just what fits

💗 Groovy Attic Hideaway in the Heart of Starland
Starland District, Savannah | 1BR + Sofa Bed, 1BA | Sleeps 4
This finished attic in an 1890s Victorian doesn’t try to blend in — and that’s its charm. Think bold color blocking, checkerboard rugs, a Barbie-pink coffee station, and murals on the ceiling. It’s open-concept (you can see nearly everything from anywhere), which works beautifully for couples, small families, or creative duos in town for inspiration and good food.
Located just two blocks from the heart of Starland Yard, you’re within an easy walk to Big Bon Bodega, Foxy Loxy, and Sly’s. The queen bed has a Casper mattress, and there’s a pull-out sofa for extra sleeping — best for one adult or two kids. Just know it’s a third-floor walkup, so you'll be earning that coffee bar on the way up.
🎨 Best for: indie couples, design lovers, small families with flair
📍 Walk to: Starland Yard, Foxy Loxy, Sly’s Sliders, The Vault
🛋 Layout: open-concept with a bold attitude
