Photos and Description of the Savannah vacation condo rental
2 Bedrooms, 2 1/2 Bath, Sleeps 6

Winner Savannah Historic Preservation Award 2008.* Tri-level Loft with two bedrooms and convertible sofa on center platform - sleeps six. Two and a half baths with with walk-in shower and cast-iron tub. Thoughtfully appointed and well stocked with home comforts. Careful attention to detail throughout - the exterior has been restored to its Victorian beginnings and the interior designed for modern needs. This dwelling is unique in Savannah and provides a true 'getaway experience.' Happy travels,

Sanctuary Place

Built in 1889 as St Paul's Episcopal Church by architect Eric Eichberg, this historic property hosted varied congregations over the past century before falling into disrepair around 2002. Restoration began in 2005 and the MIddle Loft was completed along with the exterior in 2008. The exterior sides, covered with stucco, were refitted with cyprus siding. The original vintage pine was reclaimed from the roof and sides to be used for the interior construction. The flying buttresses and bell-tower, both missing for decades, were reconstructed from historic photographs. About 50% of the stained glass was replaced with restoration glass, the surviving memorials were restored where possible.

The interior was designed to flow upward and outward providing different vantage-points to view the original details. The original ceiling and support columns provided the framework for a minimalist design concept - further accentuating the remarkable Victorian era craftsmanship. The green and blue glass combine with amazing results to create a surprising amount of warmth for such a large volume of space. The Loft is contemporary but the juxtaposition of the old and new creates a comfortable balance, giving the Loft the true feel of a home.

We stayed at this loft for a week in March of 2013. The loft is extremely nice, super clean, and very convenient. Very nice appliances, lots of space, and a full size washer and dryer. The location is very close to Forsyth park and we walked downtown almost every day. Stay here - you'll love it!

Hidden Gem in Savannah

  • Submitted: Mar 22, 2013

What an awesome find! Very cool to stay in while visiting for St. Patty's celebrations! Comfortable for 6 guests and a beautiful place. Open floor plan was nice for socializing, although we stayed out most of the time. Walked to River Street and City Market. After 2 days, we took pedicabs though, as we did a LOT of walking. Close to Kroger, as well. Excellent communication by the owners for booking, payment, and the actual stay. My only suggestion might be that the upstairs tub have a curtain of some sort available for privacy (not a huge deal), but we were a bit limited to the enclosed shower in the master. Overall, a terrific getaway and we had a fantastic time at Sanctuary Inn.

While the outside of the loft if very pretty, it is the inside that is breathtaking. The pictures (as others said) do not do it justice. The meticulous details that were taken to preserve the church are beautiful and the modern perfection to detail in the renovation is amazing. We traveled with another couple who woke especially early which was a little challenging. They stayed on the bottom floor and since the original floors are squeaky, we had trouble sleeping in while in the top loft.

We visited during Thanksgiving and the kitchen had beautiful bowls, platters, and almost everything that we could have needed. The appliances (Jen air stove, washer and dryer) were top of the line.

We are especially picky about cleanliness and found the loft to be very clean. Probably one of the cleanest places we have ever stayed!

Kevin was extremely helpful while booking as we needed to switch around the dates. He was always very responsive. John was at the loft when we checked in and was very helpful and informative about the loft and the renovation, which he took part in the craftsmanship and design. Both men were very nice!
Owner's Response: Kind thanks Amanda - pleasure having your group and thanks for taking such good care of the Loft. You are certainly welcome anytime. Sincere best, Kevin

What a wonderful surprise. The Middle Loft is a beautiful, peaceful contemporary condo with only the finest appliances and decor that leaves you with the feeling that you want to stay a lot longer than your vacation allows. From the initial meeting with John, one of the owners and innkeeper, we felt welcomed. John gave suggestions for places to eat and places to go that made us feel like we were locals in the neighborhood. Wonderful and gorgeous Forsyth Park is only 1 1/2 blocks away, popular with groups of all ages and a wonderful way to walk to the historic district and some of the most beautiful squares you will ever see. We met Kevin, the co-owner the second day we were there. he and John are two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Even found the workers renovating the house next door friendly and helpful with information about the area. The peaceful and serene feeling you get while you stay in this beautiful place with sunlight shining thru the stained glass windows will make you want to come back again and again. Thank you, Kevin and John and sincere wishes for the future in this beautiful place you have created!

Rent this creatively appointed living space, you'll be happy you did. The upper loft has 4 small sets of steps to reach the top of the church loft. We had a cosy sensation, once we parked ourselves up high in the rafters of this church. Once upon a time it had been home to a small, humble, intimate Episcopal congregation. It has beautiful wooden flooring on the ground level and I think similiar flooring in th loft, perhaps fashioned to match the wood below, or perhaps this was the original loft floor. Very beautiful wood, with a beautiful sparkle tile bathroom section added on. This upper bathroom IS fun , if you don't mind showering with a hand shower . Plenty of hot water for all.

These guys aim to please, John greeted us when we arrived. Since I asked, he gave me a very nice bag of ground coffee. What a gentleman!

I liked the collection of art and architecture books in the library that is set up for guests to spend some quiet perusing.
Live in this place for the long term because ther are plenty of shelves and cabinets. Dining room is a nice size, if you feel like welcoming friends or family members to dine. Kitchen is user friendly for more than one chef at a time! Plumbing fixtures state of the art. You read the other reviews . Enjoy!
