We loved the pool!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing week, spent a lot of time in the pool which has some shade at all points of the day. Outdoor shower was also convenient. Great house, big screened in porch, definitely recommend. One downside was that the yard was mowed the day after the pool was cleaned, resulting with us doing some pool maintenance of our own. Overall, great place with a great pool.

Bead Cottage

We had the greatest time at the Bead Cottage! The check in and out process was extremely easy, the neighborhood and proximity to the beach was great (we used the 9th street beach access boardwalk), and you can’t beat the private pool and screen porch! The neighborhood is so quiet and calm and it was the perfect spot to relax. The cottage is so centrally located that it was so easy to pop over to Savannah and drive over to North or South beach. We had the best stay and we hope to return soon!

Cozy little cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We got moved here since our first option needed repairs. I'm not sad! This was a cute little cottage for us on Tybee. Too chilly to use the pool but we did enjoy the sun sitting by it. Loved the screen porch for reading time! We walked everywhere on Tybee since you have to pay for parking all over the island. We rented bikes one day to explore as well.

3rd Year at Bead - Feels like coming home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 3rd year at Bead Cottage, and I can't brag about the management company enough! Everyone from the reservationist to the manager was Outstanding and worked quickly with me on short notice to allow me to rent this home again. Cottage was very clean, as always, with some great upgrades - outdoor shower redone. We live in our swimsuits the entire time, either in the pool or on the porch. Even in 90+ degree weather. Will be back!

Great Vacation but Pool a Big Disappointment

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great for the three of us and the porch was wonderful. However, we rented this house because it had a pool which makes the house command a premium price. However, they said that we could not have the pool heated because the heater was broken. There was cool weather and the pool was freezing! After several calls, the company called a repairman. The pool never heated up adequately until the morning we had to leave. We never got to swim in the pool we paid extra for! My grandson was very disappointed. :(

Bead Cottage — Almost Perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at lovely little Bead Cottage several times. The pool, large screened-in porch and Jane Coslick- designed interior rehab makes it a sweet destination for a couple or a smaller family. But just a few small considerations by the owner/manager would go a long way towards ensuring complete guest satisfaction. Given the pool, as well as routine showering, more than the 5 provided towels for four guests would be appreciated (we called for and received extras). With beach proximity, even a couple of in-house beach towels and chairs would be appreciated by guests flying in, who instead have to buy or rent these small extras in addition to air fare, car rental, bike and cottage rental expenses. Finally, more than the minimal number of cups and glasses would be appreciated, particularly larger coffee mugs and taller drinking glasses. All of these minor irritations could be easily and inexpensively remedied, resulting a perfect guest experience! Thank you for accepting this minor constructive criticism within the larger picture of a wonderful experience provided in this lovely cottage!

Cozy and Nice

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week at Bead! The deck and pool were the highlights. Very well maintained inside as well. Tybee Cottages provided excellent service and even checked on us during the stay. Close beach access as well. Parking is tight if you have a full size truck like I do, but it worked out. We would definitely stay again!

Cozy Spot for Couples

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is an incredibly cute cozy cottage, suitable for a couple or a small family. The interior is not spacious, but the large screened in porch is where you’ll spend most of your time. Really nice, large pool. Recommended for a couple or a small family, as the cottage set up — with the porch entry through the primary bedroom — does not allow for much privacy.
