Located on the ‘prettiest street in the South,’ walking on Jones St. is an escape all by itself. Lined with Savannah’s famous live oaks draped with Spanish moss, you will sink into vacation mode the moment you hit the street. The location is perfect. It’s in a quiet spot in the coveted historic district, but only blocks from the action and beauty of Savannah’s renowned squares, stores and restaurants. You can spend weeks without ever needing a car.
The Escape on Jones is not owned by a factory rental company, but is instead the culmination of our family’s dream. We visited for years and as much as we love the beauty of all the historic homes, we struggled to find a rental that felt safe for our young children. Steep rickety staircases, peeling paint, dark corners, and hardscaped courtyards led to anxiety-ridden rental experiences. So when a fixer upper hit the market, we decided to do something different.
Out went the steep brick staircase, and in went the deep deck steps (can only fall one at a time!). Out went the cinder blocks, in went the turf play area and soft stone pathways (ok, so our littlest one does still try to eat stones!). Every detail of The Escape on Jones was designed with child safety in mind, and as an inspirational space for creatives of all kinds.
