Inner Sanctuary at Sanctuary Place

This is a single family condo with a private entrance. 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 very comfortable.

The middle loft at Sanctuary Place is 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." Thanks for your interest, Sanctutary 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.

Peaceful stay near historical Savannah

The Inner Sanctuary was a unique rental in walking distance from the historical district of Savannah. We enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen, spacious rooms, and quiet neighborhood. The beautiful spring flowers, sound of the fountain in the garden, and interesting renovation of a church were added benefits. Communication with host was excellent.

Our group of 5 visited Savannah for 3 nights to celebrate a birthday. This home was a perfect fit for us. The open loft concept was pretty unique & we really enjoyed it. The location was close enough to things where Ubers were not too expensive. We would stay here again.

Girls trip interrupted by hurricane

The property was unique and close to walk or short Uber ride to all that you would want to see or do in Savannah. We were bummed that we had to cut our stay short due to the power outage from hurricane Helene. Kevin, the owner was very easy to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate staying at this property again.

Beautifully renovated church

Kevin responded to questions very quickly and gave us some great advice about things to do in Savannah. The property was extremely clean and well stocked. An easy walk to the park, a local coffee shop and some restaurants. We took Ubers into town at night - a quick ride and they usually got there in less than 5 minutes. Overall a great stay.

Wonderful Easter in Savannah

We had a wonderful stay at the Inner Sanctuary! The pictures do not do this place justice. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, and there is enough room so you’re not on top of each other. Kevin was great. He quickly replied to any question we had. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Unique

"Wow, so cool", were the first words we all said as we walked in the door. If you are looking for a unique stay this is on the list. We enjoyed all the original historical architectural details of the church and the stain glass windows casting beautiful colors throughout while full of remembrances to loved ones.

Girls trip

Property is as exactly as pictured- very cool space. 1 ‘traditional’ bedroom, 1 loft bedroom and another bed in a suspended landing area near the loft. Worked well for a close group of friends! Good location- we walked to most Places, allowed us to explore easily. Uber was available quickly the few times we used it. The owner was very kind and responsive- made check in/checkout a breeze (which we were very grateful for due to an early morning departure time).
