Victorian Stays With Real Character
Rentals near Forsyth Park in Savannah’s sweet spot between history and creative energy
Rentals Worth Actually Booking
The Victorian District sits just south of the landmark “Historic District,” but don’t let the map fool you — this area has a rhythm of its own. A little quieter, a little less polished, and full of real neighborhood charm. Think: walkable streets lined with color, porch fans spinning at dusk, and indie cafés around the corner.
We’ve combed through hundreds of listings to surface just a few that feel like they belong here — close to Forsyth, full of personality, and not pretending to be luxury hotels. If you’re into historic bones with good vibes (and maybe a clawfoot tub or two), this is your spot.
No sterile condos. No “close enough” locations. 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.
🦚 Bright, Bold, and Right by Forsyth
Victorian District, Savannah | 3BR, 2BA | Sleeps 6
This top-floor Victorian apartment balances Southern charm with unapologetic color and modern flair. Think: teal florals, navy velvet, marbled vanities, and three king bedrooms — all just a block from Forsyth Park. It’s split across two floors (stairs required), with a cozy but stylish layout that makes it feel more boutique pied-à-terre than basic rental.
The living room is all light and softness, the bathrooms are design-forward and functional (double vanity + walk-in shower and tub), and the kitchen doesn’t shy away from a bold wallpaper moment. Location-wise, it’s hard to beat: walkable to Sentient Bean, Sly’s, Local 11ten, Alexander’s Bistro, and the best southern end of Forsyth for coffee, people-watching, and park hangs.

📍 Walk to: Forsyth Park, Sentient Bean, Local 11ten, Sly’s Sliders

🧵 Maximalist Color + Comfort Near Forsyth
Victorian District, Savannah | 4BR, 3BA | Sleeps 8
If your group wants serious space, real personality, and a location one block from Forsyth, this one’s a no-brainer. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and high ceilings throughout, this top-floor Victorian apartment is unapologetically bold — from the hand-painted wallpaper to the velvet jewel-tone sofas. It’s big, it’s bright, and it doesn’t hold back on color.
The kitchen is newly remodeled and great for group meals, but you’re also within walking distance of Local 11ten, Sentient Bean, Collins Quarter (Forsyth outpost), and a quick stop at Kroger. The layout works well for a group of friends or a couple families — two king bedrooms, a queen, and two twins make it easy to divide up the space.
