"Rented a lovely large property in the Historic district of Savannah. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with anything you would need. Property descriptions and pictures were accurate. The checkin/checkout instructions were clear and promptly sent. I really would recommend South Key and Brandon & Chase. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend. We had an amazing weekend stay for my 50th birthday."

"We rented 309 West Park Ave and it was a beautiful, clean, comfortable property. Great location within walking distance to everything. We didn’t use our vehicle all weekend. It was exactly as shown in the photos. Brandon and Chase were excellent to deal with and we would definitely rent from them again."
