Great location!

Plenty of living and sleep spaces. Screened in porch was ideal and pool was cold and beautiful for relaxing and beating the heat! Boardwalk to beach was only a few houses away. Walking distance to 16th Street shops and Pier. Home was definitely "historical" with small kitchen, but LOTS of charm!

Perfect House for our Girls Trip With Perfect Location

We booked this house last minute after our other VRBO fell through, and it could not have worked out better! There was plenty of room for the 12 of us and having the pool was so nice. The beach access was right there, and it was just a quick walk to the downtown area. We had a great time in Tybee!

Synopsis

Loved having the entire family together so close to the beach. Beds were very comfortable. One suggestion, one of the showers needs to have a handicap bar for those who have disabilities

Prime Location

Beautiful accommodations for my family and extended family. My 3 kids loved having the downstairs area almost like a separate house. House sits super close to the beach and walking distance to the IGA and several restaurants and shops. House was tastefully appointed for a comfortable stay. Everything you need for a beach day or prepping a seafood feast was available.

Fantastic Historic Beach House

Let me start by saying this place far exceeded my expectations! The decor, screened in wrap around porch, pool, beds, bedding, and with beach just steps away, I was in beach vibe heaven for the 3 days we stayed. It is the perfect place and location on Tybee. I own a house built in 1920 and I believe this one was built in 1925, so it was absolutely charming and so much character. I would certainly stay here again if back to Tybee. This was a trip intended for my son and 4 friends for their senior year spring break. They had the downstairs area to themselves which was perfect for them as they are night owls and they had the best time playing cornhole which was provided. There were also several board games available. Although unseasonably chilly this particular weekend, it was just perfect to sit by the pool and get some sun. Everything is a short walk, couple blocks to all the food and shopping on south beach. I highly recommend Huckappos pizza on north beach and ask for the buffalo chicken pizza! On a side note, we did go to putt putt at Bogeys and got eaten alive by some type of insects because they have swampy water around the holes. Bring bug spray! My son is requiring oral steroids for the amount on bites he ensued. Couple things to note and recommendations…there wasn’t any soap or sponge in kitchen if you did want to wash anything by hand. Also could not find oven mitts. And they do not provide the little shampoo/conditioners nor did I see a blow dryer. Fantastic place!

Long weekend - girls trip

Twelve palms cottage was such a beautiful cottage to stay in for our girls trip! It was clean with plenty of room for our 12 guests. The highlights were the beachside decor, pool, amazing wrap around porch with so much room to lounge, and the proximity to the beach. We were able to drive into Savannah multiple times as well to enjoy the city. If you're planning to stay for a prolonged time, be prepared to buy some essentials like tinfoil, TP, garbage bags as the home wasn't stocked with these things.
