Lovely Home

Just returned from a weeks stay on Tybee Island at the Guiding Light house. Had a lovely time. House was clean and very charming. Pool area was adorable and private. Really nice place to stay and short walk to beach.

Wonderful stay in Tybee

Such a charming and comfortable house. It was perfect for our family of 10. Plenty of nooks for privacy and gathering space outside for all of us. We spent a lot of time outside by the pool at the fire pit and cabana. Short walk to the beach and convenient for trips to downtown Savannah. Would definitely stay again!

Gliding light

Cute home but smelled like wet paint going up the stairs which ended up giving me a migraine the two days we were there. The Pool was suppose to be heated but when we arrived it was cool and the next day was the same day. The outside bed had the wrong sheets so had to use a flat sheet. Cute home but wouldn’t stay there again.

Great house for us and our dog

Great house. Super comfortable. Back yard is great and fenced so we could enjoy it along with screened in patio and not worry about our dog off leash roaming out back. Beach is super close too.

Misleading, check the square footage and has no working interior door latches

First there were 7 adults and 2 kids, and 3 small dogs. With that said, ALL of the interior doors had no working handle. One of the master bedrooms had a glass door…? I thought I was going to have to bust the door down to the kids room at one point because the door was stuck in the door frame…My bad for not reading the square footage of the place, because it is a lot smaller than the pictures portrayed it to be. The kitchen was super small. The shower in the down stairs master bath would not drain and dear lord please replace the mattress in the down stair master bedroom! That bed was not only hard as a rock but also had a HUGE lump going down the center of the bed.

Guiding Light. Lit up our vacation

Made wonderful memories and a plus with the pool heater. Who knew we would have a cold spell in June 😱. Also enjoyed making s’mores with the fire pit Hope to rent again. Very updated with the old Tybee feel I had experienced as a child. Thanks

June 8th through 14th

We enjoyed our time here but we do feel like we paid to much for all the issues we had. their was trash left here when we checked in and it smelled horrible. Kept getting stuck in the bedroom upstairs and the doorknob kept falling off. The floor was filthy along with 90% of the dishes. The tub upstairs drained very, very slowly. The faucet came completely off in the kitchen and water was going everywhere. We got it fixed for now but may want someone to fix that. The refrigerator makes a god awful noise. Not sure if its tearing up or what's going on but its loud all the time. I'm not one to complain and not trying to Just wanted to make you aware of these issues. Overall we loved the house. Very cute with a home like feeling to it but it needs a lot of work done. Thank you for having us. The Thomas family

My small group of family and friends really enjoyed this very comfortable house. We had plenty of room and spent most of pur days in the pool which was an added plus being that the temperature was a hot 97° - 103°. It was memorial day wknd and the beaches were crowded so we grabbed some frozen drinks from 'Wet Willie's' and came on bck to relax, grill, eat and relax in the pool. I felt totally comfortable in this neighborhood. I enjoyed taking my scooter out on the bike trail. People on bikes and joggers waving and friendly made me feel happy. In close proximity to bars, grills, restaurants and a grocery store is near. The mosquitos had a good time on this Atlanta Ga Peach so bring some off. I would definitely come back again to this rental.

We loved spending time on Tybee Island to celebrate our anniversary. TVR staff was very easy to work with. The house is on a quiet street & very comfortable with plenty of amenities and close to the beach. We are sad to be leaving but look forward to returning.

Everything about our experience was amazing. The house was beautiful, cozy, and clean. We had 4 children and 3 adults and fit very comfortably. The rental company was so easy to work with, sending emails and text messages to make the check in and check out process very smooth. They were also kind enough to leave sample sizes of toiletries and things to make the stay very comfortable until we could go to the store to stock up on necessary items. The only thing I would change is that we paid for pool heat and it was definitely too cold to enjoy! The pool heat worked fine, but we were lucky enough to come on the edge of the coldest weather Georgia has had in a very long time! Overall, I would highly recommend the house and Tybee Island Vacation rentals.

The house is very nice renovated and decorated. The kids really enjoyed the pool.

House is very nice and I love the way it's decorated. It had everything we needed including a great pool. I just wish the house would get a deep clean one time then it would be perfect.
