Southern Tides was such a nice surprise. The house lended itself to our large family with ease. The bedrooms were all comfortable. The kids loved the bunk room and all the different living areas was great for some solitude. The pool was a welcomed break from the beach. Communication with Kelly was easy and smooth. We loved Tybee Island and will definitely be back.Thank you Tybee Cottages for helping us make great memories.

Overall a positive experience. Did have some worries about lead paint exposure for my 2 yr old grandson simply due to the age of the house. Lots of pool fun and beach fun! Very short walk to the inlet and beach. Cute decor and well stocked kitchen.

Love the outdoor shower. Beds were very comfortable. Ping Pong table was fun for all. Never tried to use the pool, but outdoor areas were superior. Easy walk to stores, restaurants, ocean and inlet.

Such a great house. The house is more modern than the online pictures make it look. I was so pleasantly surprised. They had beach chairs for the beach and it’s walkable, lots of good kitchen stuff, very comfortable beds and even provide travel size shampoo and conditioners!
The pool is very shaded and pretty buggy. That was a bummer but otherwise it was good. Good temp lots of places to sit/lay.

This house was amazing overall. Absolutely love all the great interior design touches, and even though this historical house is a tad quirky, the layout actually worked very well for us. Being from Wisconsin, we enjoyed showering outside for the Master Bathroom Shower!
Our only disappointment was the pool and back yard area. While we understand trying to keep.it "tropical" and lush, there was just too much foliage and overhead trees that blocked any sunshine. We were there in the last week in August, which were upper 80 degree days, but the shaded backyard was just cool and humid. The pool felt like it was in the mid-upper70s, so none of us adults went in. Only the purple lipped kids as we all tried to "lounge" in the shade. The dark, shaded area was also a bug attraction, so we brought down fly swatters to try and enjoy our "pool time". Wish they would keep all the palm trees, but get rid of get rest of the big canopy like trees, so we could have enjoyed the sunshine at the pool
Lastly, nothing on the house, but Tybee was a bit of a disappointment. Pretty dingy, and not very family friendly.
Overall we loved the house! Maybe we would come back for am adult.only, off season winter trip

We have used Tybee Cottages for about 7 years now and Jim has always been right there to help with anything we’ve needed. This house has a wonderful beachy atmosphere. Nice, clean, and plenty of sleeping spaces. Kids really enjoyed the room with all the bunks. The pool was nice too. The only downfalls were the distance from the beach (about 4blocks) and parking (although we managed). Overall we had a great time. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a nice place near the beach

Beach house: Enjoyed the pool (selling point). Great decor. Used the grill and kitchen; furnished with all items needed for cooking. Washer/dryer/dishwasher worked well. Need something as a warning against bumping head due to low clearance below external staircase. A/C works well. Shower upstairs drains slowly (may be semi clogged). Clean at arrival day. Door to bunk room was squeeky

At the suggestion of Jim Heflin, owner of Tybee Cottages, we booked "Southern Tides" for our family of 12: 6 grandchildren this summer (2015). It was a perfect beach house-- full of Southern beach charm, comforts of home, proximity to the beach, river, dining & "town." The pool was great fun, especially for late afternoon & evening swims. The "bunk" room & sleep porch became the favored sleep accomodations for the children. The other bedrooms were comfortable for the adults. The only disappointment to the children and grandchildren alike was that we were "renting" and not "buying" this property!

First, I want to thank Jim Heflin for helping us before, during and after our stay. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat! Perfect for a large family, like ours. Beautifully decorated! Only about a 3-5 to the beach. And who needs to go on a dolphin tour when you can walk to the ocean and practically swim with them! They were so close that it was crazy!! We were fascinated by how close they were to the shore. Not one problem while we were there and the pool just topped everything off. Hope other renters enjoy it as much as we did. Thank you!

Five gal friends from across the United Staes finished a 5 day lecture/tour in Savannah with a three day stay at Southern Tides on Tybee Island. The newly renovated house was cheery and bright and even though we experienced some rainy days it was always cheery at Southern Tides. You will not go wrong working with Mr. Jim Heflin of Tybee Cottages...he was super helpful. Jane Coslick did a fabulous job renovating the house. Our memories are extremely bright of the house. Close to the pier and walking distance to the town and restaurants. Put this place on YOUR bucket list. Oh did I mention the swimming pool and the four balconies!!!! ...and the amazing kitchen!!!???

If I said bad things, I wouldn't have to compete with other renters for this house. But I cannot; it's amazing. We had 14 family members and friends in town, and Southern Tides accommodated everyone very gracefully. Jane Coslick's decor was drooled over, and made everyone comfortable. Having a spare full-size refrigerator in "the bar room" allowed us to stock the regular fridge full of foods and keep the kitchen area lower-traffic. The pool was terrific, and the yard bug-free. Those porches... little hideaways that were conversation areas, and the temperatures were nice enough that the sleeping porch saw some use. Our group was able to relax, enjoy themselves, and literally spent more time inside the house than out, despite sunny days and warm nights.

I rented Southern Tides for my graduation weekend (friday - monday) and it did not disappoint! The home was fully equipped for a family or large groups vacations needs (i.e beach towels, bath towels, pots, pans, cups, internet, cable etc), beautifully decorated, and clean. The porches were to die for and there was plenty of space for our party of 13. The pool was dirty upon arrival due to recent storming - which myself and my group was completely fine with given the circumstances - however we did not have to live with a dirty pool for long because someone was sent out Saturday to clean it without me having to call (which goes to show how on top of things tybee cottages is)! The process of renting and reserving the house was pretty straightforward and was not difficult to reach the property manager. We will definitely be utilizing southern Tides and/or another tybee cottage home for future rentals!

It's been over two weeks since my family from all over the country met at Southern Tides Vacation home and we still can't stop talking about how wonderfully quirky and perfect the house was for us. We've never done something like this before, and were so impressed. The kitchen, breakout spaces, and location to the downtown Tybee area were perfect. Well worth the money!

Jim and his staff at Tybee Cottages are incredibly professional and very proficient. The cottage was fantastic, and made the week very enjoyable. Amenities were as advertised, location was superb (two beaches within easy walking distance), plenty of room for everyone, and all were extremely satisfied with the stay. Our only issue came early in the week when one of the A/C units decided to stop working (on a 99 degree day!) ... but after a call to the management company, a technician arrived within an hour and fixed the unit (on a major holiday to boot!!).All in all an excellent experience.

My family has been sending a week at Tybee every summer for fifteen years. General consensus, this was the best house ever. Multiple porches and living spaces. The kids loved the bunk room. We were able to walk easily to the back river beach as well as the south beach. It was also a short walk to the shops and Stingrays. We all loved the pools but the mosquitos ate us up. Tons of beach towels were there but never found the beach chairs. Would love to rent this one again.

Our overall stay at Southern Tides was awesome! The cottage offered a variety of sleeping quarters, and everyone loved the décor. I was amazed as to the number of cute spaces tucked away. Southern Tide is located within walking distance of the river, ocean, and businesses. In the morning about all the traffic was by foot, walking dogs, and a bicycle or two.The cottage was well-stocked, clean, and a sheer pleasure. Manager, Mr. Heflin responded quickly to all our questions prior to our visit. He even recommended a dolphin excursion. Thanks to all.

Our stay at Southern Tides was simply delightful! This house is soothing and charming. We felt like we had walked into a magazine with its bright whites and perfectly placed colors. The location is ideal - close to Tybrisa (the main strip) for when we wanted action. A short bike ride to AJ's (one of our favorite restaurants!) and a short walk to what felt like a private beach to the back river and ocean. It was amazing.On top of that,there is everything you could need - a new pool, comfortable beds and a nice kitchen... and SLEEPING PORCHES & a BUNK ROOM! The kids can't stop talking about the bunk room and asking when we're going back. We had 5 young children and 6 adults and had plenty of space. Now, if only we could stay longer!I highly recommend this beach house and the genuinely sweet management at Tybee Cottages. Your every need will be addressed - especially the need to kick back and join the locals in ISLAND TIME. :) (P.S. I saw this recent review on a blog I follow. It looks like the house is getting even better. Wow. )

Southern Tides was a wonderful beach home to our family of 16 for a week. After a long drive from Indiana everyone explored the beautifully decorated home and then hit the pool. We swam morning and night in the pool and went to the beaches daily which were only 2 blocks away. Tybee Bean was our favorite coffee shop on the island. The group also toured Ft. Pulaski and visited Savannah for a day of sightseeing and eating.Southern Tides was the perfect place for our big family!

The rental property was the best part of Tybee. It was so quaint that I did not want to leave to explore! My favorite things were all the cozy rooms and the décor. The young and young at heart will not forget the bunk room. The house has all the extras- beech towels- two refrigerators and even an outdoor sand shower. The location allows you to walk to shops, restaurants, and the beech. Finally, I want to complement Jim Heflin for his southern charm, professionalism, and availability.
