Sweet rustic home just off the main drag
This was a rustic beach home, fine for an affordable stay on Tybee, but near enough to Savannah too. The weather was not very cooperative (September). Rain flooded driveway and only the basics in kitchen (no can opener!). But overall, a lovely place. Very clean and quiet.

Beach Cottage on Jones Tybee Island, GA
The rental cottage was a good location and price but do not be FOOLED and rent it. We drove 8 hours to get there, & we walked in to a disastrous mess! Food down the walls, food particles on counter with some form of liquid spills, food particles and dirt in fridge and microwave, no broom, vacuum, or mop, hair balls on all linens and in floor, and the sheets had not been changed. They were wrinkled with sand in them. It listed a washer and dryer as an amenity and it had one but broken and unusable. Had we known this one thing we would not have booked it. There was patio furniture listed and there wasn't any. I cleaned with paper towels for 2 hours waiting on cleaning company as I had contacted them and 9pm rolled around and my littles were ready for bed. My husband drove 30 min to Savannah to buy over $100 worth of cleaning supplies. We also bought bed linens which was another $100. Cleaning company shows up after 10pm stays till a little over midnight which I helped them clean. Unloaded car and showered. It was 2am before we got in bed. (Side note: We swept & mopped the floor every morning and evening for 4 days before the water was not black!) On phone for over 5 hours the next three days contacting Vacasa for my first night refund and cleaning fee. I decided Tuesday I needed to enjoy my vacation. Called them on Saturday traveling home. We booked through VRBO. VRBO finally speaks with Vacasa and explains situation. We agreed to eacalate it to management. Vacasa was suppose to get back with us and it's been 8 days. It clearly states if you arrive to a rental and it does not have the things listed on ad you are eligible for a partial refund. You can have a different size bed and such but amenities listed were washer and dryer and patio furniture & we did not have patio furniture at all and a broken W & D. This was another Pitfall for our vacation as we packed lightly for 8 guests and had expectations of using washer and dryer. Had there been something else available to rent the first night we arrived we would had gone there as fast as possible. There were no availabilities for our length of stay. Not only do we not recommend Jones Cottage on Tybee Island, but we do not recommend Vacasa Management or booking through VRBO. We will never again use them. We came home to book our anniversary trip 2 weeks later & found a cute place. It was managed by Vacasa and we didn't even think twice about it. It was a quick find something else!

Nice but has issues
First arrival was good for the price. However, there were no temperature controls To be found and were very cold. When you walk in the stairs rails were rotted and a large nail almost got me several times. The sheets were dirty. We found Mascara on the pillow cases of one bed and sand in 2 of the beds. In one door frame, someone had attempted to scotch tape the door frame on. The back door would not lock We called and were told how to lock it, still no so we used the working lock of the front door.

False advertising
We arrived February 26, Saturday approximately 5:45ish and it was getting late. I originally gave the cottage a 4.5 without really paying attention. We were extremely tired, drove 11 hrs. In the morning we realized how bad the condition of this cottage was! We called Jamey Caldwell on Monday to let someone aware of the condition. We got approval Monday to leave through Jamey. We have sent current photos of the run down condition of this cottage. We are wanting a full refund! This cottage didn’t represent a 4.3 rating! And didn’t look like the photos! Please contact me. I have left messages and emailed and no one has gotten back to me since Jamey said I would get a refund.

Experience
It was nice with the exception that it got hot inside the house, we could not turn the thermostat down below 70, even emailed but never received a response, and I had 80 year old parents in the house, the side door on porch was broke and could not open door, looked like someone had been using a butter knife to get in and tore up door and lock, reported this with pictures and email to vasaca on Thursday when we got there and it was fixed Saturday afternoon, but the maintenance guy Robert Boothe was very helpful. Other than that it was a nice stay

Lovely house in a cute neighborhood! Plenty of sleeping and seating inside too. Well decorated and the extra towels were awesome! We loved being within walking distance to the beach. Parking area floods in major storms and a little hard to get porch door open.

Great location.
Close to restaurants and beaches. Great spaces for our whole family if a little dated. It was great vacationing with our dog! Be warned, dogs are not allowed on Tybee beaches. We were fine walking our dog in the neighborhood and at Ft Pulaski.

Dirty and not maintained
Spent first two days just cleaning and buying things to clean. No mops. Vacuum cleaner was filthy and smelly. Tub in one bath was gross. Outlets were few and far between ... except on the front porch. Refrigerator door was missing all but topshelf. Floors were unlevel and tripping hazard. Windows filthy. Luckily it was cold outside, so we did not attempt to open them. Don’t think they would open. One screendoor would not close, and one was hard to open.. and then could not open all the way. We did like the location though.. luckily.

Great house, close to beach!
We had a wonderful time. It had everything we needed. My only suggestion is a mat by the doors to help prevent from tracking in dirt and sand.

Great space, updated interior
This home is well maintained on the inside. There are 4 nice bedrooms (although one doesn't have doors) and 2 seating areas. The place was updated and clean on the inside. The only negative is that it doesn't look very nice on the outside and I got very nervous when I pulled up. But once we got inside, everything was great.
