Pretty place, clean and close to beach

Loved the covered screened porch with lots of seating for eating there at the home. Nice kitchen, rooms were great for big family and right to beach. Only thing I’d say to clean up the vegetation on the boardwalk to beach, it was overgrown and had to walk thru trees that could have been cut back. Was a pleasant and clean place to stay and would stay again.

The cottage was clean, well stocked, great location!! We had a wonderful time during our stay. Our only suggestion would be that an addition of a hot tub would make this a perfect restful getaway!!

Lots of character and space

Really enjoyed our stay. Located near restaurants and grocery store. A bit of a difficult walk to the beach if you are carrying beach gear and a cooler, especially when walkway runs out. Once on the beach we loved it. Not too crowded.

Beach house

House was clean. Furnishings were a bit dated but attractive. Neighborhood was quiet. Restaurants were within walking distance. Kitchen sink leaked onto floor.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Tybee Cottage has lots of character in my opinion. I loved the location. I thought the place had character and charm. My husband was not as pleased. He thought that the place needed a coat of paint and was extremely concerned about the yard and the walk to the beach was overgrown. We saw several snakes!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The beach access is not for older people, the walkway should go all the way to the beach. Ocean views is not possible everything is over grown. As far as house there is hot water in only one bathroom. Loved the porch.

Wouldn’t stay here again

We enjoyed the size of the home, the bedrooms, living room, and screened in porch were very generous. However the outside of the home and grounds were not kept up well, the grass is overgrown and paint is peeling. The kitchen was functional but old. We enjoyed the charm of the old home but feel it could be better kept. The private walkway leading to the beach is a long and difficult walk…. Also random people would use the private walkway, making it not private at all! You have to be very physically fit to make this walk to the beach!! Be aware! The neighbors dogs barked a lot and the washer started to leak on day 2 of our stay!

Tybee beach cottage

Overall our stay was great and I would book this cottage again. There was ample space for our family of 6. We enjoyed the large screened in porch for morning coffee and meals. The location was great and was a short walk to the beach for us. If you have small children or are elderly the walk may be challenging. There is a large due to climb over at the end. However we have lived in a 100+ year old home and understand and appreciate the quirks that come along with older homes. The door knobs are old and need to be handled with care. The bathroom situation was a little unconventional. That being said I would recommend a few general maintenance items. 1. The grass needs to be mowed. It was very long and overgrown in the front and back and made for a bad first impression. 2. The washer had a leak (we informed maintenance and they were out the same day). 4. There was a mouse that had gotten into some of our food we left on the counter and the day we left there was mouse poop in the stairwell leading to the back door. 5. I would recommend a new set of pans for cooking. It was almost impossible to cook anything without it sticking to the pans. Even basic grilled cheese. I would also recommend a larger coffee pot. A 4 cup pot just doesn’t work when you have more than 1 coffee drinker.

Charming house on the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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: This is a very nice property with three large bedrooms and an enormous screened in porch where we had meals and morning coffee. It is old, but everything was clean and in good shape. It was well furnished but I would recommend adding a grill for cooking and beach chairs, towels and umbrella. The property is on the beach, which is screened by vegetation. Because of the stairs leading to the living space, and the need to cross beautiful dunes to get to the beach, I would not recommend this to someone who is mobility challenged. It is perfect for a family, and for entertaining.

A Very Cute Cottage - but......

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage is quaint and well decorated. The screened in porch is amazing. The cottage offers direct access to the beach on a boardwalk! It's a bit of a walk - but we loved it! There were four of us and plenty of room HOWEVER, one of the 2.5 bathrooms is in the basement storage area. We opted for using the one shower on the main level and adjacent to the bedrooms. We made it work - but it was not what we expected based on the description. The kitchen is spacious and has PLENTY of plates and mugs - but no sheet pans, pizza cutter, colander or toaster. This made it a challenge to cook even basic things like pasta and pizza. It would have been nice to have a TV in the living area (the two TVs are in bedrooms) Overall we enjoyed the stay (especially that porch and access to the beach!) but would recommend with hesitation.

We really enjoyed our time on Tybee Island (except for the 60 parking ticket we received because we weren't paying attention :) )Bernie's Oyster House and the Crab Shack were two great places to eat.If you are looking for an awesome experience on the water, contact Georgia Coast Charters. Bennett was a wonderful guide who not only found us a lot of fish, he dropped us off on a sandbar to hunt for seashells, and was very knowledgeable about the 4000 year history of the area.

Perfect home for quiet time away with beach access.

Home was beautiful! We enjoyed the private beach access but were not able to use a wagon due to the hills and narrow path to the beach. Home was roomy and cozy. There isnt a tv in the living room so bring plenty of games for the family.

Our biggest issue is that you cannot see the beach from the house and it is a very long walk out to it. The boardwalk in places is very overgrown with foliage. When it ends there is yet another sand dune to climb over.

Needs some serious TLC

This property is in dire need of some Tender Loving Care. It was built in the 1930’s and I think it was last updated in the mid 70’s. Everything from the paint on the walls to the furniture needs a complete overhaul. It’s obvious the owner is trying to squeeze the most profit out of the property without reinvesting to keep the home suitable for renting. I wouldn’t know where to begin listing deficiencies because they are everywhere you look.
