This was our first visit to Tybee Island and won’t be our last! From the seamless check in process to the quick walks (within 2 blocks) to the beach, restaurants and ice cream, everything about this house was perfect! The home itself is so cozy and the screened in porch is where we chilled the most, doing puzzles nonstop. The kitchen is fully stocked and the beds are super comfortable. I can’t say enough good things about this home!!

Perfect location!
If you plan on spending most of your time on the beach, this house is perfect! 3 minute walk to the beach and several restaurants and 3 ice cream shops. I loved that this wasn’t as crowded as the rest of the island.
I love Tybee Vacation Rentals! They are polite and tried to be accommodating.
I didn’t give this as many stars because the house really showed it’s age. Check in was at 4. They got there at 2 to clean and do maintenance—not enough time to get it all done. I had issues with the dishwasher. I was given a GC and paper plates, utensils, and cups. The dishwasher wasn’t fixed and I ended up washing dishes by hand my last night there. I wouldn’t plan on cooking because the kitchen is bare bones. Plan on eating out and reheating left overs. There is no proper master suite. All the bedrooms share one bathroom. The second bathroom is downstairs. The upstairs bathroom shows it’s age.
I will say we loved the outdoor space! We spent lots of time on the time covered porch upstairs.

We really enjoyed this property. The kitchen was well stocked and there were supplies for laundry/dishes. The screened porch was great. They had a nice grill and fire pit, even providing wood. And, it was just a couple blocks from the beach.

Very comfortable property within easy walking distance to the public beach, stores, and restaurants. We did have an issue with our stove and called for help. The maintenance man showed up within 15 minutes of my phonecall and it was fixed immediately!

The home was great. Clean, good location to beach and well cared for. The big issue is the neighbors dogs. They are right next door and bark constantly. Day and night. Don’t plan to sleep or enjoy quiet evenings at this location.

Me and my husband stayed here with our dogs for our honeymoon and had an amazing time! The previous renters had left a ton of trash that started to stink and we called the rental agency and they got someone out to collect the trash. The two houses next door both have dogs and the barking did wake us up two mornings other then that no complaints.

This is a very clean well set up property. The 3 bedrooms were great as our teenage girls each got there own room. Very comfortable porch to rest outside. Short walk to the nearest beach. We could easily ride bikes to any location on the Island. Enjoyed the more North location as it is a quieter less densely populated area than the south end. There are a few great restaurants within 5 minute walk.Nice walk or ride to North Beach and the light house, our favorite area. There were 2 very nice parks a short walk away. You will hear the dogs next door a couple times a day but it was not a problem at all. Definitely recommend for a great stay with family of 4 and our dog we had plenty of room.

Very nice place with everything we needed. There was no Bathroom that was attached to any of the bedrooms and pics did not indicate that there was no door to the washroom in hallway. This cut down on privacy but if it was something we were super concerned about, we would have checked on it prior to booking. The barking dogs next door were pretty bad. This is something the owner of our property has no control over and they did not start barking until about 7 am.

Great getaway
Great location for a beach getaway. House was equipped with everything that we needed. The location allows for an easy stroll to the beach. Very comfortable inside with nice large televisions. Our pup enjoyed the doggie door to screened porch.
A couple of things that need attention are the landscaping and the downstairs toilet flush valve.

Great location
This house was great for our family of five. Our first time to Tybee island and this house was perfect! Walking distance to the beach, comfortable, and clean. The second story deck was great for family dinners. Spacious kitchen and really comfortable beds. Twenty minutes form Savannah...rebooking in next year. A true gem!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
