Where to Stay in Savannah:
Instead of hotels, I recommend staying at a VRBO when visiting Savannah to save BIG on your trip. VRBO has so many vacation rentals listed by owner, and they’re such a great way to find nice lodging that is way less expensive than the hotels. I’ve personally stayed at multiple VRBO’s, and loved every one. Not only were they significantly cheaper than the nearby hotels, they also came fully stocked with beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, and kitchens. These amenities alone saved us SO much money!
Now do you want to know my favorite tips and tricks for saving BIG on a VRBO? These little known hacks will save you SO much money! Check this out…

Kimberly said: “I’ve lived there my whole life! Moved to North GA almost 2 1/2 years ago. For a better beach, you may want to try Hilton Head which is not far from Savannah. Downtown is rich in history… just be cautious on weekends and late evening. Downtown is nice for the history and museums but be sure to venture out to the other areas. Some of the surrounding areas have things to do as well.”
Ashley writes: “Visit some of the SC beaches, too… Hilton Head being my personal favorite.”
