THE LARGE INTERIOR SPACE

As you walk into The Sanctuary Thunderbolt the floor plan of the original church opens up. To your right, find the main sitting area with a flat-screen TV. A baby grand piano resides in the corner for those musical moments. Turn to your left to find the second sitting area, complete with a colorful sectional sofa and matching chairs. Moving forward, discover the dining table with seating for up to 10 guests.

The next focal point of our Thunderbolt GA vacation homes is the kitchen. Centered where the church's altar once resided with original light fixtures above, this property's kitchen has two breakfast bars. With seating for 5 guests, the first breakfast bar is adjacent to the main living space. The second breakfast bar is a pass-through design with seating for up to four guests on the opposite side of the kitchen.

Within the kitchen is every essential you could need for a grand meal or simple snack. Our vacation rentals Savannah GA include utensils, plates, pots, pans and other accessories. All the major appliances are available, such as an oven, stove, dishwasher, coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave.

Behind the kitchen is another sitting area where you can relax on the comfortable couch with a beverage. For remote workers, a desk and comfortable office chair almost make working seem like a vacation. Use the washer and dryer, cleverly hidden here, during your stay.

Walk deeper into the property to find the two downstairs bedrooms. The first bedroom has a king-size bed and a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Nearby, the second bedroom offers two full beds, and a flat-screen TV. The second downstairs bathroom offers a shower-tub combination.

YOUR OUTDOOR OASIS

The Sanctuary Thunderbolt offers a huge lot for your outdoor escapades. Indeed, the front porch, with the ceiling painted Haint blue, is the first stop for a casual conversation. Here, there's a large patio sofa, two chairs and multiple side tables for your group. With a chandelier above, this patio is also a nighttime reprieve as the cool breezes kick up. Mechanics Ave was the heart of racing in Savannah in 1908. As you enjoy the front porch, imagine intrepid drives like Louis Wagner racing his Fiat past you at 65 mph!

Next, walk down the length of the property to reach the backyard. Along the way, double doors give you access to the home near the property's center point. In the rear, discover the huge backyard with multiple chairs, tables and a patio sofa. Enjoy dining outdoors with a screened-in cabana and a dining set accommodating up to eight guests. Our vacation rentals Savannah GA also include an outdoor grill with propane for those barbecue cravings.

Your outdoor amenities don't stop in the backyard because our Thunderbolt vacation rentals include access to our resort-style pool.
