I love the Wilkes House! This is my 2nd time staying. It was clean, bed was comfortable and I enjoyed seeing people frequent the restaurant. It's a very quiet neighborhood with metered on street parking. I have an SUV and never had a problem parking. I'd highly recommend the Wilkes House!

This property was a perfect location and a true Savannah gem. We wanted something that was more historical and this place did not disappoint. It was well stocked with anything we needed and very clean and well maintained. We loved walking straight out the door onto Jones Street (Southern Living's most beautiful street in America) and although it was very convenient to most of the areas in Savannah it was quiet and quaint. It was less than two blocks from a trolley stop which was very convenient since we did use the trolleys to get around. The only issue we had for our entire stay was getting the lockbox open when we first arrived which was a little tricky but the property management company was accessible and very helpful to get us in quickly. I would highly recommend this property and Lucky Savannah for your stay in Savannah.

Very well located for walking around Savannah. This historic building is quiet and well appointed. Nice to have so much room. Enjoyed lunch at Mrs. Wilkes downstairs, delicious food and so fun to meet new people as lunch is served family style. Would definitely recommend!!

Charming condo on a beautiful street in a great location.
Submitted on Jun 7, 2024
We had a great 3 night stay here. The apartment was beautiful and had a lot of character. It was in a beautiful location that was walking distance to everywhere we went. The weather was a perfect temperature while we were there so walking was easy to do without sweating. I can see where walking may not be the chosen transportation during hotter months in Savannah. We were leaving on a Tuesday morning so we were able to eat our lunch Monday at Mrs Wilkes. While we were told we could enter through the back and avoid the line we sat on the steps as the people started gathering and met the people we would ultimately sit with, which was cool. One couple was local so they made some suggestions of things to do and a little history.
The two bathrooms were a huge bonus.
There were so many places to eat that we only used the kitchen for the coffee maker. I was pleasantly surprised that there were coffee packets there for us.
We had a great time and look forward to coming back!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch @ Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room and we’re able to walk to all the sights of Savannah from this location.
It was a beautifully decorated property, the only drawback was a VERY soft mattress and the A/C struggled to cool the humid air.

The rental was exactly as pictured. Beautiful architecture in a historic building on a beautiful tree lined street. The rental was clean and looked beautiful upon our arrival. Entrance into rental was just as described and relatively easy. The only issues were that the apartment was not as cool as we typically like. Don’t know if AC was not operating properly or because of the historic building. We did contact management and they sent someone from maintenance at night to check it out so they were very responsive. The second issue was the parking. We had to move the car in the morning to a parking garage. It was plainly stated but we did not realize what a hassle that could be. Overall it was a great rental in a perfect location. The bus stop was on the corner and we were in walking distance of all the tourist attractions. Savannah is a beautiful city and we enjoyed every moment.

We are residents of Savannah and needed a place for a week while we had some home renovations and chose this gracious historical district walk up. It had everything we needed and was a great way to play tourist in Savannah and come and go to work. The washing machine and dryer was a boon and Forsyth park and its Saturday farmers market was a delight.
I recommend it for travelers and stay ationers alike.

It was so fun to stay and eat with Mrs Wilkes! The house was super comfy/ even the sofa bed! It was nice to have two toilets as well. Everything was awesome and it was so neat staying in such a historic house. We will be back!

We were very impressed and satisfied with our stay at the Wilkes house and will definitely be back!! The lunch at the Wilkes restaurant was out of this world good!! The gentleman that worked at the restaurant was very helpful letting us know how the parking worked which was very appreciated since we have a big truck. The bed was great and the furnishings were great and beautifully decorated.

The location is great. We walked everywhere. Description accurate. The property is not as tidy as I would like. But I realize it is an old property. For instance the kitchen cupboard doors need cleaning. Washer and dryer worked well. Dishwasher door appeared to need repair. Customer service was good. The staff was helpful. I would recommend this property to others. We saw the Low house, the house where Gen Sherman stayed. The Public restaurant has really good food. Also The Collins is good food with 2 locations. See Forsythe park, Take a tour of the city on your first day.

This was our first stay in Savannah and we would definitely come back! This condo is in a most beautiful neighborhood and street. It is well located in the historical downtown area within walking distance to restaurants and bars yet is very quiet.
The condo is tastefully decorated to its period. We very much enjoyed our stay.

This has been a return stay at The Wilkes House. We had a couple with us that had never been to Savannah and we had a wonderful time. Visited River Street,
went to Lighthouse at Tybee Island, Savannah carriage ride, Mercer House tour, Cathedral tour, Georgia Queen boat trip and of course our favorite was our lunch at the Wilkes Restaurant. The first time I ate at Wilkes (over 20 yrs ago), I was priviledged to have Mrs Wilkes personally sign our cookbook. It was exciting to see that Ryan (the grandson) has continued the family tradition. Our stay at the home was great. We walked a few blocks to Clary's evey morning and had breakfast. It is true, JONES ST, is the most beautiful street in America.

Could not have asked for a better stay. The Wilkes House was just enough for my family. Your booking agent was very easy to work with and was very helpful. We did not get to eat at the restaurant because it is closed on weekends and was closed for the holiday. Would definitely recommend and book again with y’all

It was beautiful. 107 was gorgeous. It had everything one could want for a stay in Savannah. When you advised us to get a parking pass, that was good advice. It made parking easier. When we arrived to the door a nice young man helped us unlock and enter the building. Later we found out he was Mrs Wilkes great grandson. We also met Marcia and she asked how we liked the room and did I see her wedding picture. She signed my cookbook. It was so exciting going down the back stairs, then going through the kitchen where wonders were happening and joining the “regulars” for the most delicious lunch ever. In leaving we forgot to put the key back in the box which we mailed back but maybe an extra mention at checkout about the key like, “ Did you return the key to the lockbox?” Not sure if this would have helped this old couple though. I am recommending this experience to everyone I know who has Savannah on their bucket list. I even wrote a poem about it! Thanks again. Diane

On my last visit to Savannah I took a photo of a building on the most beautiful street I had ever seen. Imagine my surprise when, a year later, I discovered that we could actually stay here.
The apartment is comfortable and nicely decorated. It feels like you are staying in a friend's home. The location is unbeatable.

The home was exactly as described. It was very cozy. There was a funky smell but we got use to it. The restaurant mouse from downstairs didn’t bother us at all. It was only open from 11 to 2 so we were gone the majority of the day. Parking wasn’t even a problem.

the pied a terre above Mrs. Wilkes house was the perfect lay-out and location for our work-from-home stay/play week in Savannah. The large, high ceilinged rooms helped us to spread out for conference calls when needed but felt homey and cozy when the work day ended. Super well-located in the heart of the historic district so we were able to walk everywhere and enjoy the beauty of Savannah

We had a great time in Savannah. We come every year around Christmas. This was a good vacation rental. Plenty of space for our family and we really enjoyed going to Wilkes for lunch.. this is definitely something we will do again. This location was a little further from the river than we like... probably 15-20 minute walk. Also, the sheets on the bed in the master bedroom did not fit the bed and would come off every time you laid down. This was super annoying. Otherwise this is a good rental.

We had a wonderful vacation to Savannah! The location was great and the food at Mrs.Wilkes was the best we had during our stay! There are some great places to eat nearby and everything was walking distance to eat. I would suggest the trolley at the visitor center as it will give you a good idea where everything is. If you buy around mid day they will give you two days. The lunch included at Mrs. Wilkes is great as you don’t have to wait in line just tell them your staying there. We had a mishap with cleaning day during our stay and my shampoo and conditioner were tossed but they replace it for me! You will love it! I do have one suggestion for the place. We did not have a car and flew to Savannah. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies but having some coffee and creamer would be great to have in the place. We knew we would eat out everyday but morning coffee is a must for us. There were no stores walking distance opened when we arrived that you could buy coffee and creamer. We ended buying some at Walgreens the next day when we noticed it taking the shuttle. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Location of property was wonderful. Walking distance to beautiful historical downtown Savannah. Apartment was furnished beautifully; comfortable bed. All essentials were available in kitchen if you were so inclined to cook your own meals. Only negative I have is the entry process. Had trouble getting front door key, but I think because we had traveled a few hours, it was very hot and we were tired. I got very frustrated, but was able figure out the process. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was precious and we loved staying there. We didn’t get to have lunch since they were closed for the holiday weekend, but otherwise the only negative was that it was a little warm inside. But being from New Orleans originally I know it is sometimes hard to get old houses to cool down enough when it is really hot outside.
Overall, great location, great house, great trip!

Very big one bedroom apartment. Spacious and historic. Very clean! The mattress wasn’t great, especially if you are used to a memory foam mattress. Being right above the restaurant did make it very noisy from about 10am-4pm. Great location can walk to shops, parks and restaurants. Street parking can be a bit tight but we never had issues finding a spot on block or next block.

What a charming place stay. If you love historic homes, you’ll appreciate the Wiles House. Located on a quiet tree lined street in the heart of the historic district, you are within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, museums and historic homes to tour. We loved that the apartment retained it’s original period details such as the fireplaces, ceiling medallions, hardwood floors and moldings. Very, very spacious with large rooms (except bathrooms and kitchen, but that was fine with us). For the most part things were clean and well maintained. The living furniture has seen better days...the sofa was sagging and felt grungy and a bit smelly.. we didn’t sit on it. The shower curtain liner was covered with mold and the fitted sheet was too small for the bed and would pop off while we slept, wrapping around us...we had to get up several times during the night to remake the bed. As a vacation rental owner myself, I make sure to stay in our rental 3 or 4 times a year to experience it like a guest and make note of anything that needs maintained or replaced. With just a few tweaks the Wilkes House will be a 5 star stay for sure.

This is my greatest find. Lucky Savannah agent is on call 24-7 is you need assistance and they answer their phone. You get a bedroom, dining room living room and Kitchen. Location is great.

Home was beautiful! New kitchen and bathroom. Felt like I was back in time. Place was immaculate. People living above our “apartment” were noisy, though. I was up until 3 one night. I did leave a note asking them to be a little quieter and they were. The key pad on the exterior door(street) was difficult to manage. You need the same kind that is on the interior door or something similar. Savannah is a beautiful city and our rental was in a beautiful spot. Would definitely recommend. You can walk everywhere. No need to rent a car. One more thing. Rental company was extremely easy to work with!!!

This was our 2nd stay in the Wilkes House. We have enjoyed both very much. The location is great. The apartment is spacious, inviting and clean. Our only complaint is the bed and couch are horribly broken down and need replaced. My husband and I both suffered from a sore back and lack of sleep due to the bed. It felt like I was sleeping in a hole. Other than that, it was lovely! We also appreciate the option for late check out as our flight was leaving late. Thank you!

Check-in was a bit confusing. That was probably my fault. Once I got the app figured out and the codes figured out it was amazing.

The food at Mrs. Wilkes is amazing. Mrs. Thompson is so welcoming. Definitely plan to come back!!!!

The charm of Savanah surrounded us in this lovely home. We were able to park our car in front of the residence and it never moved for the three nights we stayed as we walked everywhere. We had fun sitting on the porch people watching as hungry visitors lined up to experience Mrs. Wilkes fantastic dinners. The beauty, history, dining, shopping unsurpassed and staying in this charming home topped off the Savanah Experience. Delightful.

My husband and I had the privilege of staying at Mrs. Wilkes House on beautiful Jones St. in late March. The location in the historic district is amazing as it is a nice walk to many Savannah attractions. The apartment exceded our expectations, not only in size, but also due to cleanliness and thoughtful supplies left for us. I didn't think it was possible to live like a local in the truest sense of the phrase. If you stay here you will not be disappointed! You must make time to have lunch at the famous Mrs. Wilkes homestyle, cooked from scratch, alfresco luncheon on Jones St. Such a great experience overall; and we also highly recommend Lucky Savannah property management co. They are on top of every detail from communication before and during stay, to excellent housekeeping hires. Thank you to all for a much needed getaway!!!

Our stay at Mrs. Wilkes was phenomenal! The unit was extremely spacious, decorated with beautiful antiques, very clean and in the absolute best location and on the most beautiful street in all of Savannah. I hesitate to admit all of this as then perhaps the unit will never be free again for us. LOL We were amazed that a lunch for two which could have fed 10 was included at Mrs. Wilkes kitchen below. We have stayed at many hotels, bed and breakfasts etc but nothing compares to our stay at Mrs. Wilkes. Thank you!!

We visited the Wilkes House for lunch over 40 years ago. After telling so many folks about it through the years, we decided to visit there again for our 45th anniversary. Much to our delight our children put us up for 2 nights at the Wilkes House. Even though we could only do take out from the restaurant, we enjoyed the food once again. The portions are very generous and it was a delight to meet Mr & Mrs Wilkes granddaughter. A must visit if you are in Savannah. If you are taking the trolley, visit Old Savannah Tours and ask for Mr Komedy!

Staying at the property was a great experience. There were no surprises when we got there. The owner was very friendly and we greatly enjoyed eating downstairs at Mrs. Wilkes. The food is always fantastic!
We stayed at the property over the Thanksgiving holiday and enjoyed walking around Savannah as well as riding the shuttle bus. Everywhere we ate at provided very delicious food. Savannah also has a lot of great vegetarian/vegan options. Fox and Fig is a must!
My only advice is to give the property a little more TLC and fresh update with some paint and shine.

We took a family vacation here, and at the other unit on the Wilkes property. Both units were well appointed, but I thought the other one had a better floor plan. The bathroom was located off of the dining room, so if there were people visiting in your unit, you ran the risk of them seeing you post shower. (put your clothes on in the bathroom) The only cleaning issue we saw, was that the air return vents were dusty. The staff was wonderful, and even got us "back door" entrance to Mrs. Wilkes. The free meal with the rental really makes this a good deal. This location is close to many attractions, and the family members on this trip were impressed with the facilities. I would stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at Mrs. Wilkes. If you like to sleep late and want to hear any noise, this probably isn't the place for you. We are fairly early risers and spent most of our time enjoying out and about Savannah. The one day we were in we did hear some noise from the restaurant below, but not terrible, and only for a few hours.
The suite itself is three large rooms, a galley kitchen and bath and a half. It could use some freshening up, i.e. paint and kitchen, but it is still charming. The bedroom is large and the bed comfortable. The kitchen is basic, but fine for our limited use for breakfasts and snacks. It was nice to have a washer and dryer so we didn't leave with a suitcase full of laundry.
Dinner at Mrs. Wilkes was, as always, delicious

We even met the granddaughter of the original owners while eating lunch downstairs. I highly recommend this property.

Staying at the Wilkes House was a real treat for mine and my husband's 10th Wedding Anniversary. The home was beautiful, and convenient to everything the city has to offer. There were only 2 things that offered some disappointment... 1. We were still offered a comped meal at Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room, but they no longer offer you first entrance so we had to wait in line for 2.5 hours. That being said, waiting wasn't terrible because we enjoyed conversations with other visitors and the weather was beautiful. It was disappointing though to miss out on 2 hours of seeing the city because we had to wait for lunch (and when we booked the room it was promised that we would be given behind the scenes access). 2. This one can't be helped by the management of the property, but they were filming a movie right on the street we were staying, which meant at 1:00 AM people were yelling, horses were running up the street and dogs were barking. We also had to have someone escort us to our apartment almost each time we wanted to walk down the street, we were told by police each time that we wanted to take a picture of the street we were staying on that we couldn't do so, and we had to park 3 blocks away (The movie crew did offer us a free parking pass for the weekend so that worked out well). Once again, the folks at Lucky Savannah weren't responsible for that and they communicated all the changes to us exceptionally well, it just became frustrating when you wanted to get back to get ready for dinner and had to wait for them to cut a scene and walk you back to your room. Overall, though, we truly enjoyed staying here and would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice time away in Savannah.

The Wilkes house does not disappoint. It is charming old Southern architecture located in a historic and beautiful part of the city. We enjoyed our stay and strongly recommend taking advantage of a complimentary meal at the restaurant. As a guest of the Wilkes house, the preferred seating (go down the back stairs to the back of the kitchen) was a blessing as the lines for the lunch meal (the only one served) are lonnng!
The property could use a couple tweaks in the maintenance department, but overall, it was comfortable and accommodating. We strongly recommend this property for a stay in Savannah.

Plenty of room to relax and enjoy on our first trip to Savannah, Georgia. Our room was clean enough and it was great having two separate bathrooms. I can’t think of anything that we needed but didn’t have. The metered parking was kind of a pain but it is what it is. Great location with amazing sites. And, the free lunch at Mrs. Wilkes was amazing. I wish I had purchased a recipe book before we left. Oh well! Maybe next time...

We loved our apartment at the Wilkes house. It was clean, beautiful and the perfect location for touring Savannah. The one problem was in getting a key to the front door. Our print out said an extra would be in the room which we could not find. The apartment above us took the only key in the lockbox for their use and that left us wondering how to get in at night. The management was most helpful in helping us get the extra key in the second lockbox but was a little confusing. All in all we definitely would return and loved the dinner at Mrs. Wilkes. It was a GREAT trip.

The rental was very charming. It's an older home but extremely clean. It's in walking distance of everything. Very close to Forsyth park. The line outside of the adjoining restaurant under the rental gets long fast in the mornings, but didn't bother us at all. The street it's on is beautiful.

We had a wonderful time in Savannah. The apartment was very inviting. The bed is so super comfortable. I wanted to bring it home. A very romantic and charming place to stay on the most beautiful street in Savannah, at least in my opinion. The location is amazing, within walking distance to everything! The only minor issue(s) we had is that;
1) Our reservation was a cut day short, but that was an error on our part, as well, as we didn't check our confirmation closely.
2) While it didn't bother us, just be aware that the line for the restaurant IS right outside your bedroom window and they line up bright and early, so it can be a little noisy. If your a light sleeper, this may bother you.
We met some wonderful people, the restaurant is amazing and the staff are fabulous. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful place to stay. Excellent location, can walk to downtown and Forsyth Park. Nice small patio if you stay on the first floor. Very period oriented unit.

We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing space, the perfect location, the historical significance, the beauty, and the functionality of the home. It was perfect for a romantic week celebrating our anniversary. The complimentary lunch at Mrs. Wilkes was a great perk. I would advise guests to bring a hanging toiletry bag for the bathroom as there is little space with the pedestal sink. Having the extra powder room really made the mornings go smoothly. The bed was very comfortable. It was convenient to have the washer/dryer and complete kitchen for our week long stay. Property manager was great when we needed help setting the a/c. The property was so welcoming that after each long day of exploring, we felt we were "coming home".

Our stay at Mrs. Wilkes' one bedroom apt. made our trip to Savannah special. After reading about its days as a boarding house, sleeping in a room that held a wedding in the early 1900's and being above Mrs. Wilkes restaurant, we felt lucky to be a part of the Wilkes' House history. We loved the fireplaces and other architectural details, and the extra bathroom was a bonus. The free shuttle service to the river and city market is just a block away. The neighborhood is beautiful and historical, and easy to explore on foot. We're glad we took advantage of the lunch at the restaurant. Not only because of the good southern cooking, but because of the large helping of southern hospitality when we met Marcia and some nice people at our table!

We enjoyed our stay in Mrs. Wilkes home. The apartment was very clean and furnished with beautiful antiques. The king sized bed was very comfortable. The location was very good. We enjoyed breakfast at Clary's in the morning and the bar and grill nearby for dinner (both within walking distance). Of course the food in the dining room was outstanding and the hospitality great. The only slight concern we had was the noise from the workers in the dining room right below after the dining room closed for the day. Very unnecessary yelling each day. Hard to relax in the afternoons. Very loud. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will recommend to our friends.

The apartment is very large, three very large rooms and a modest kitchen. The bathrooms are small but ok.
It has a dark feel due to limited natural lighting and being decorated in the general idea of maybe a century ago, but not quite. The photos show different furniture than what we actually had. For example, there was no robin’s egg blue sofa, only a drab brown one in its place. The lack of brighter colorsfelt gloomy, but is consistent with the era. The bed was ok. The location for us was good, quieter street but within walking distance for most of our needs. An unexpected nice perk was eating in the restaurant on the first floor. Much better than expected for s family style restaurant. Staff was so friendly.

Apt was great. Location was fantastic. Rooms were large. High ceilings, great furnishings. The 1 1/2 bath was perfect for 3 people.
Minor hiccup with the bldg key, but that was handled promptly by mgmt. No key in the key lock on the bldg front door, but for some reason the door wasn't locked when we got there so no problem. There was an electronic lock on the door to the apt which was easy to use. Mgmt brought a key for the bldg front door for later use as the door was locked during the rest of our stay.
My only caution would be that if you are a light sleeper, the noise in the restaurant below could bother you in the morning as well as the line out front.
There are stairs up to the front door and a narrow hallway in the apt, so if a person needs assistance with a wheelchair or walker, this wouldn't work. Otherwise I would recommend the rental and if I go back, I would certainly stay there again.

This apartment was spacious and beautiful. It brought us back in time as we could almost envision the people from the 1900’s living there! The house is very close to everything and on a beautiful block! Lunch downstairs at the Wilkes house was a special treat! We will be back!

This was a great place for our family, large and spacious, clean and fully equipped. This charming apartment was in a great location for exploring Savannah again. Two baths was very convenient. Highly recommended!

We returned to Mrs. Wilkes for two weeks this year and loved every day. The location is superb, right in the middle of the historic district. The apartment is very spacious and has enormous windows that fill the apartment with light. The washer/dryer are a big plus, but we especially loved the 11-12-foot ceilings. We slipped right back into the 19th century. The staff at Lucky Savannah is so professional and gracious. Thank you, Josh and Amanda! Try the great shrimp and grits at Huey's on the River. Within two blocks of this apartment, enjoy Gryphon for a most unusual and charming environment and delicious food served artfully and Art's for fabulous smoothie bowls when you just need to be refreshed with a snack or light meal. We walked 2-5 miles a day to get to know the spectacular historic buildings and beautiful squares. Don't hesitate to use the pedicabs (reasonable and fun) and the DOT (free). Both are excellent. We plan to return!

Me and my husband stayed at Ms. Wilkes House and absolutely loved it. Pictured as advertised. Very antique and spacious. And to top it off the lunch downstairs at Ms. Wilkes restaurant was some of the best southern cooking we have ever tasted. Especially the fried chicken. We have been telling all our friends about our stay at Ms. Wilkes house. Shout out to Josh for being very helpful in getting us situated.

We have been staying at the Wilkes House each December for the last several years for my wife's birthday. We enjoy it so much that we don't even bother looking for any other place to stay.
I appreciate that the front door lock has been fixed. It was always very tricky trying to get it open.
The only thing that I would recommend is upgrading the couch. It is very uncomfortable to sit on, and there is no place to rest your feet. That's a small issue, but it would really make a big difference when you come back in from a long walk and just want to sit and relax for a little while.
Overall, we had a great time as usual, and we can't wait to come back in Dec. 2018.

Nice location, nice place. Had a few bumps. Door was locked when we tried to get in. Heat wouldn't work at first. Management was able to resolve things eventually.

It was more than I dreamed of, and more beautiful than the photos. If you stay here do yourself a favour and go to the Mickve Israel museum and see how your bedroom is a part of Savannah Jewish history!
Lucky Savannah were wonderful with their reliabilty and their communication. I will definately be back, and will definately recommend to everyone I know. Thank you for a stay i will never forget!

The accommodations were lovely! This was so much better than staying in an anonymous hotel in which, when you wake up in the morning, could believe you're in any city in the country. Beautifully appointed, private, close to everything!

Our first time to Savannah! the Wilkes house is charming, cozy, and beautiful! Loved the history and wedding picture in the bedroom! Its close enough to be walking distance but far enough away to be peaceful! The only thing i would add is there were no kleenex tissues anywhere and no pen with the guestbook ( we had to use a sharpie, the only thing i had) Also as a first timer we missed lunch downstairs because we didn't now she was only open on weekdays, we had reservations for a tour the one day we could go.

Stayed here for our anniversary. Property and location were both spectacular. And the food at Mrs. far, the best in town!! I had arranged for a charcuterie board from Smith Brothers to be waiting for us upon arrival - it was excellent! Just what we needed after our travel. The house was very private and within walking distance to everything in downtown. Not to mention, located on the most beautiful street in America! We will be back!!

These accommodations are tremendous. Imagine staying in the very place that Mrs. Wilkes lived, and also receiving a free meal at her historic restaurant besides (if you book an appropriate length of stay to qualify). Here you are in the heart of a historic area, with plenty of room to spread out and relax at night after touring the city during the day. Plus the laundry in your unit is so convenient. I highly recommend it!

The Wilke's house was amazing. Perfect property on a beautiful, picturesque street. I couldn't believe how much room there was. Beautifully decorated. The extra half bath was nice. Everything worked. Parking was easy on the street in front of the house. Location was perfect. We could walk to everything. There was some noise from the restaurant downstairs and the line under the bedroom window starts about 9. Check in/check out was easy on the Lucy Savannah app. Loved the phone call a few days ahead to check and make sure we understood everything and answer any questions. Great service and great property.

We stayed at the "sister" rental above Mrs. Wilkes last year and loved it. Our stay this year was also very enjoyable. The best part is the location on Jones Street. We parked our car and walked everywhere! The apartment was beautifully decorated. After staying at both Wilkes locations I would choose Wilkes Pied-a-Terre. We liked the layout better and it was a brighter apartment. Loved the lunch at Mrs. Wilkes restaurant and not having to wait in line. Overall the apartment was clean, but can't rate cleanliness a 5 because found a good bit of dust behind/under some of the furniture. Window sills were also dirty.

This is not the 1st time we stayed at the Wilks House, nor will it be the last. For the price of any one of the up-scale hotels, you have 4 rooms of history, and a free meal downstairs in the famous Boarding House Restaurant. Say Hello to Marcia, Mr. Wilks grandaughter, and her son Ryan... that runs the place. It's history here that's your experiencing !

The house is beautiful and spacious. We did have a problem with the heat and hot water. It was in the 20s when we were there and the heat would turn off on its own. On the morning of our cheok out, we had only tepid water for our showers.

We enjoyed are stay at the Wilkes House, but would like to call your attention to some of the issues we encountered. There was a coffee pot provided, but only 1 pack of coffee for a three day stay. There should have been one pack per day. Also there was no cream or sugar. The biggest problem we encountered was parking our vehicle. We had to get out on the street by 8:00 AM to feed a meter. This was a real problem. Then when I arrived home, my husband found a parking citation for parking in a street sweeping zone issued at 1:10 AM. I believe that the parking situation would prevent me from booking the Wilkes House in the future.

We had a wonderful time at Mrs Wilkes. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. Also they were very centralized and easy to access downtown

We had a great time. We really enjoyed the location and being able to walk to everything. It was a little complicated always trying to find a place to park the car, but we did always manage to find a space. We were very glad we had 2 bathrooms and that the apartment was so specious.

Our first visit to Savannah and there had to be a hurricane!! We enjoyed every minute of our stay in the Wilkes apartment. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. The location is perfect! The staff quickly took care of any questions and concerns. We had to leave a day early due to evacuation of Matthew. Our flight home was cancelled, airport closed for 2 days...we had to drive 11 hours to get home. Alamo wanted to gouge us 3X our rental rate to drop the car off at a different airport. We were amazed when we received an email one night was refunded! Great customer service and I would highly recommend staying at this location! Thank you!

We arrived at the Wilkes House in the pouring rain on Friday evening, found a parking spot right out front and were impressed from the moment we arrived. We walked inside to an incredibly warm, charming and gorgeously decorated apartment and knew instantly we would be back. The photos we viewed online beforehand were spot on. The apartment was clean and well-maintained and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our weekend getaway. We look forward to a return visit during the week so we can experience dining at the restaurant, which is closed on the weekends. We walked a few blocks down to Clary’s Café on Abercorn and enjoyed delicious breakfasts, including their yummy sticky buns. We had a wonderful shrimp and grits dinner at Huey’s On The River and also found a tasty chicken summer risotto at The Public on West Liberty. We are looking forward to our next visit and will definitely be staying at the Wilkes House again.

We wanted a real Savannah experience with our stay and the Wilkes House was perfect in every way. Location was great, area was gorgeous, and unit was very spacious, very clean, the half bath was great and came with the perk of eating downstairs at Mrs. Wilkes. Parking on-street was no problem (get a pass from visitors bureau). Management was handled very professionally - I could not recommend this more highly, we stayed 3 days and loved every minute of it.
