About this house rental
Surrounded by Spanish-moss-draped pines and close to recreation and historic sites, this home dates back to the early 1940s, when industrialist Henry Ford developed the Richmond Hill area. It lies about 35 minutes drive from downtown Savannah and just steps from the Myrtle Grove Plantation, where many movies and TV series have been filmed.
Newly renovated, yet preserving the charm of yesteryear, guests will feel right at home as will well-behaved pets.
The home has 3 bedrooms and sleeps 10. The back yard is huge – big enough to park boats and multiple vehicles. The living area is quiet, private, and surrounded by trees on a 4-acre lot.
The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed. A second bedroom has 2 double beds, and a third bedroom has 3 twin-sized beds. There is one bathroom. This is a one-story home, and the bedrooms wrap around a central hallway – from which a lone fireplace heated the home back in the day.
The kitchen is original to the home and features beautiful views of pine woods. It has a refrigerator, stove, and a nice-sized pantry. There is no dishwasher in keeping with the kitchen’s historic nature.
The dining room has a chandelier, and glass-topped table, and seats 8.
The home sits on a 4-acre lot. The backyard has a picnic table, patio furniture, and a fire pit for outdoor gatherings.
The Starfish House was originally built in the 1940s on the Ford Plantation, owned by Henry Ford. The house was later moved to its current location.
This area has been home to many films shot a few yards away at the Myrtle Grove Plantation. Films shot here include Glory, 7 Years a Slave, The Underground Railroad, and many others.
Just down the street is a boat ramp to put boats in the Ogeechee River (the ocean is just 4 miles away), as well as Fort McAllister State Park, which includes the site of the last battle before the fall of Savannah in the Civil War, as well as a campground and recreation area. A dog park, tennis courts, and an exercise trail are also close by.
Park next to the driveway, behind the home.
Guests have access to the whole property.
Keypad on the back door for easy access.
The owner asks that shoes not be worn inside the house.
The inside fireplaces are NOT for guest use. The home is older, and flames create a big hazard. No open flames at all, please.
Guests will need to supply their own consumables such as toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags. Starter supplies are provided.
A washer and dryer are available. They are located in a separate room on the first floor.
This home is pet-friendly. The backyard is a safe place for pets to exercise, and there are parks nearby for recreation.
Dog Breeds NOT Allowed are Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinschers, Rottweilers, Chow Chows, Presa Canarios, and Wolf Hybrids. Violators will be asked to vacate the property without any refund.

Loved the aesthetic of the home, a perfect space that's comfortable and stylish. Love the big spacious yard, plenty of parking room. It really gives that southern charm feel. Minor dislikes: limited supply of toilet paper, paper towels (last thing I want to do on vacation is shop for household goods). Other than that, will definitely recommend to family and friends when in town.

The yard have alot of ant beds. This would be an issue for people with dogs. Also someone had a cat in the main bedroom and the odor is strong. I suggest getting (miravle) pet odor killer from the pet store to get rid of the smell. The home could use a good dusting. Also we had a family member in a wheelchair. It would be nict to maybe have a ramp. The inside is great for a wheelchair once inside

Stopped overnight on our way to North Carolina. It was myself, my husband and our two Goldendoodles. Home was a charming historic home but could definitely use a deep cleaning. Yard was very large and good for the dogs but wasn’t fenced in. I didn’t think that would be an issue but it turned out the home is located on a very busy street, so it would have been nice to have a fenced in area for them to run without worrying about traffic.
