Guests can stroll from this home on Rowland Ave to the Thunderbolt Town Hall to use the community dock and walk or jog along the River Drive sidewalk overlooking the stunning inter-coastal waterway. The cottage is walking distance to Tubby's, Thunderbolt Marine, Tortuga's, Chiriya's and Coach's Corner. It takes 15 minutes to drive to the night life area in downtown Savannah (less than 5 miles away).

Wonderful stay!!!

We had no complaints with our stay here. Furniture was comfortable. Location was far enough away from the noise, but close enough to go everywhere. The host was great at responding back to questions in a timely manner. Would love to return back here during the summer, so we can use the pool!

ShangriLa is a very nice property. All was clean and secure.

Although I was of the understanding that we'd be closer to the beach, it was a great stay.

Summer Vacay

20 minutes from Tybee and 20 minutes from Savanah, it was the best of both worlds. My kids loved coming back from the day’s activities/beach and hitting the pool. As advertised and would stay again or recommend to anyone else.

Always Great

This is the second time we have stayed here and my family just loves it. While the street is meh, the location is stellar and we love staying in Thunderbolt and away from the busy downtown. Plus a large yard to run around is helpful with kids. We will definitely stay again.

Absolutely loved our stay! One of the best rentals we have ever stayed at! Location couldn’t have been better to be between Tybee and downtown! Home is so cozy and has all accommodations you need. The digital board in the kitchen was great for information and checking out! We will definitely be back!

Great location to split the difference between downtown and beach

Only about 15-20 minutes to downtown and beach. We got to enjoy both on our 3 night stay. Cute property in the Thunderbolt (what an awesome name!) neighborhood. Friend and I took a walk and discovered we were walking distance to see the water.

Great location between downtown and beach

Neighborhood isn't necessarily anything great or eye catching but we had no problems and it was a great location between downtown and beach which we wanted to do both. The house is super cute and clean. It accommodated our family of 6 comfortably. Would definitely consider staying again if we returned to Savannah.

Old house

When we walked in the smell inside the house was horrible. Smelled like old socks. Ac couldn't cool down the house when it is hot outside. There were no pictures of bathrooms and it is old. Bathtub is gross. Sink is okay. Floors are wood but old. Pool was okay

Charming

Charming old home about a 12 minute drive from the riverfront, City Market, and historical district. About 20 minute drive to the beach. Comfortable foam mattresses and plenty of pillows. Nice pool and deck. Not the most picturesque neighborhood but definitely safe. Would recommend to friends and would rent again.

This place was amazing!

Check-in was super easy, you get an email with easy to understand instructions. The house was very well maintained, the beds slept amazing and the pool was fantastic. I have absolutely zero complaints about my stay here. We had one little hiccup when I first arrived, the beds were unmade (no linens at all). Management answered the phone and was very polite, housekeeping showed up in a matter of about 10 minutes and made the beds with fresh linens.They were very nice and polite and even asked to make sure that they were not in our way! Very professional! I would gladly stay at this place EVERY time I visit Savannah!! Can’t wait for the next trip there!
