“Karla’s parlor was adorable. Well appointed and conveniently located to Tybee and Downtown Savannah. Kroger, Publix and Walmart are just a few miles away. Lots of restaurants located nearby; Sunrise breakfast, Starbucks, Chik fil a, Basil’s for dinner just to name a few and many more. It was a plus for us because it was located 5 minutes from my daughters house. The parlor is perfect for a couples getaway. I will stay here again.”

“Karla was very friendly & prompt to answer our questions.
The space reminded me of a tiny home & it was so cute. Very peaceful & calming environment. There were a ton of practical items that assisted with making the space usable, it didn’t seem so small to us.
Would definitely recommend to couples.”

“Our time at Karla and Todd's "mid centuary" place was delightful! It was such fun to see so many mementos of the 50's and 60's. Everything we needed was there, cleverly placed and labeled to find. All the details we needed were clearly outlined in the notes provided. The location was perfect, since we were there to see our granddaughter in a play at St. Andrews private school. Thanks to Karla and Todd for such a fun place to stay!”

“Bit of a rocky start but overall great stay.
The hosts provided directions to the wrong unit - which would be totally ok (mistakes happen), but when we arrived, the host was fairly aggressive/accusatory & treated us as though we had intentionally tried to take the more expensive room. To be fair, we arrived later than anticipated, which I’m sure added to her confusion, but it was a pretty unsettling way to begin our vacation.
After she realized we were telling the truth, the host messaged us with the new instructions, and the rest of the stay was mostly lovely. The hosts really are impressively detail-oriented and creatively fit anything (and more!) you could need into the studio, and the room itself is clean & adorable. The location is absolutely perfect for visiting both Tybee & Savannah and has plenty to do locally as well.
We didn’t have any other in-person interactions with the hosts, but are guessing she was just having an off day and still overall recommend the place to others.”

“This is such a cute place on a lovely island. There are several bars and stores within walking distance and Tybee and Downtown Savannah are just a 10 minute drive away. If you are looking for a quick weekend getaway I highly recommend staying with Karla and Todd.”

“Me and my girlfriend have only stayed at 1 other air bnb location. This has by far been the best stay we have ever had. We decided to come for our two year anniversary celebration. Upon first arriving, Karla already had the door open and greeted us with open arms and a big smile! She was super nice and made me and my girlfriend feel right at home. At first glance you’re greeted by a nice clean exterior and even cleaner interior with the comfiest bed. They have everything you could possibly need for a stay and it’s not overbearing and the 50’s styling just makes it feel so nice. The room stayed a solid 73 any time we were home which felt amazing after spending all day in 90+ degree weather. As far as air bnb goes if I could give 10 stars, I would. You guys killed it and we definitely hope you’d be willing to let us stay next year!! 10 stars!!”

“Karla and Todd’s place was perfect! It’s super easy to get out to the beach and into the city, and it has everything you need (groceries, coffee, etc.) within a three minute drive or 10 minute walk. It feels roomy and cozy at the same time—everything my girlfriend and I hoped for and more! It’s a phenomenal deal. I’d recommend it even at twice the price.”

“Karla and Todd were very nice and friendly. They offered restaurant recommendations in the area and reached out to offer assistance, if needed! We just didn’t realize that the Airbnb was just a small room attached to their house. There were also issues with the water heater and plumbing that they made us aware of. Overall, it was a great stay!”

“Thank you, Karla and Todd, for such a nice 2-night stay. The renovations in this former salon are really commendable; love the cozy, retro feel. Very welcoming. Bed and linens were very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were a bit small for my husband (6’1”, 229 lbs), but fine for me (petite). Perfect location btwn Savannah and Tybee Island. Felt safe walking around the neighborhood on a Saturday evening. Easy, flexible check-in and very responsive host. Loved the Friendship Coffee place!”

“Karla &Todd have a quaint, clean and unique studio stay that is perfect for singles or a couple traveling near Savannah and Tybee Island. Location made it easy to quickly access just about anywhere I needed to go and was situated in a safe neighborhood with off-street parking. Hosts typically responded quickly to B&B messaging and were polite. Check-in on the first day was difficult; however, once we realized the keypad just needed charging, all was well and went smoothly for the rest of the stay. Great stay in a great area.”
