Savannah ga Vacation Rentals

Why not get a vacation rental in the great city of Savannah. It can get you a super vacation. It is an old American historic city. With great architecture to see and great culture and history in the deep south. You may want to rent, buy, sell, hire, invest in, a villa, a cottage, a cabin, a condo or a house or flat or apartment or hotel space in the city.

Because of its marshiness and flat topography, Savannah is prone to flooding. Four canals and pumping stations have been built to help reduce the effects: Fell Street Canal, Kayton Canal, Springfield Canal and the Casey Canal, with the first three draining north into the Savannah River.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 78.1 square miles, of which, 74.7 square miles of it is land and 3.4 square miles of it is water. It is the primary port on the Savannah River and is located along the US Intracoastal Waterway.

Due to its proximity to the coast, Savannah experiences milder winters and cooler summers than the Georgia interior.

Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, formerly Savannah International Airport, Travis Field and Chatham Field, is a joint civil-military airport located 7 miles northwest of Savannah, Georgia just off Interstate 95, between Savannah and the city of Pooler, Georgia. It is a main hub for Day Jet. It is the chief commercial airport for the three-county Savannah metropolitan area, although nearly 40 percent of the airport's total passenger traffic is bound for Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, located approximately 38.5 miles away by car.

Savannah's architecture and history are internationally known, as is its reputation for Southern charm and hospitality; for example, the city's former promotional name was "Hostess City of the South," a phrase still used by the city government. Each year, Savannah attracts millions of visitors from across the country and around the world. Savannah's downtown area is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States.

The city's location offers visitors access to the coastal islands and the Savannah Riverfront, both popular tourist destinations. Tybee Island, formerly known as "Savannah Beach", is the site of the Tybee Island Light Station, the first lighthouse on the southern Atlantic coast. Other picturesque towns adjacent to Savannah include the shrimping village of Thunderbolt and two residential areas that began as summer resort communities for Savannahians: Beaulieu and Vernonburg.

The Savannah International Trade & Convention Center is located on Hutchinson Island, across from downtown Savannah and surrounded by the Savannah River. The Belles Ferry connects the island with the mainland, as does the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge.

The Savannah Civic Center is located on Montgomery Street and is host to over 900 events each year, including the Memorial Health Hockey Classic.
The city of Savannah, was laid out in 1733 around four open squares. The plan anticipated growth of the city and thus expansion of the grid; additional squares were added during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, and by 1851 there were 24 squares in the city. In the Twentieth century three of the squares were demolished or altered beyond recognition, leaving twenty-one, although one of the three "lost" squares is currently being reclaimed. Most of Savannah's squares are named in honor or in memory of a person, persons or historical event, and many contain monuments, markers, memorials, statues, plaques, and other tributes.
