Mike & Donna - "You know there's always someone who does it differently. But, we needed more space to say what we wanted to say. First of all, we ditto most of the comments in this guest book!! We didn't get to do some of the things that everyone else did while in Savannah because we spent most of our time with our son - a SCAD student, or actually enjoying the home. This place is WONDERFUL! We have used VRBO several times and never stayed in a place as warm and as inviting as Heyward House. Then, to have the owners actually live on site and serve as hosts was an added bonus. Thank you for all you've invested and done to make this such an awesome home away from home! We'll be back!!! God bless you abundantly!"
