Wonderful Vacation

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: Staying at 1923 By The Sea was like stepping back in time. Located right on the beach, it was a perfect place for our extended family to reunite for days beginning with sunrise walks on the beach, nights enjoying stunning sunsets (from the other side of the island), and unforgettable “porch sitting” where we played cards or just sat around and talked. Although it was hard to find the drive to enter the property, that also added to the appeal as the property is surrounded by mature trees giving it a private and secluded feel in what I’m sure is a busy tourist town.

Tranquil Big Character House on Main Strip of Tybee

The porch is everything at this beautiful historic house. Even in gale force winds and pouring rain this porch was an incredibly peaceful refuge for our vacation. Note that if you rent a golf cart, you will have to park and walk from public parking because golf carts aren’t allowed on this part of Butler. House had everything we needed on this rainy cold Memorial Day. Even when internet went out, we played “haunted” hide and seek in this creaky house. Lots of beds - the one bathroom would really get a lots of competition if as many people as all the beds hold stayed here. Note that there is strong sulfur “Florida water” smell with the hot tap water. Just added to the fun-haunty-old-house vibe. Tons of fun!

A peaceful retreat back in time

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: My husband and I stayed here to recover after dropping off our college student. Thought it might feel too big for just the two of us (didn't realize it had so many bedrooms!), but this well-loved family home was so cozy, we never felt uncomfortable with its size. All the historical building character was lovely -- lots of little treasures to find in this home that was obviously the epitome of beach house luxury back in the day. If you want sleek, modern, perfection, this is not your vibe. If you appreciate a sedate back porch where you can hear the rain and waves and cicadas, comfy clean beds, cute kitchen, and access to beach and shops, all without fuss and with a little grace, then this is your place. Shows some wear and tear, but years of laughter and family time resonate here. It was perfect. (Suggest using the 13th street beach access if you need an easier walk to the beach. Good parking off street right in front of home.)

Nice short stay

Had a lovely time. No instructions on how to enter home upon arrival. Called mgmt co. At 5:30 pm and they gave me access code. Small palm tree partially blocking driveway near street entrance. Home is well used but worked for us. Had a nice time. Not a deluxe type home, it’s a large beach cottage.

A Beautiful Rustic Private Retreat

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: 1923 by the Sea is a lovely property. I felt like I was stepping back in time as this house was reminiscent of those I stayed in at Tybee as a child (a long time ago). The wonderful wrap around porch and the overall decor of the cottage helped us all feel at home. It is an old rustic cottage but had all the amenities to meet our needs. The trip to the beach each day was so easy (we used the 13th Street boardwalk). I loved the privacy of this place. Playing games, reading, or just sitting on the porch felt like being in a tree house with the palms swaying all around. I would stay here again and recommend it to those who enjoy privacy and the feeling of stepping back in the past.

Historic Charm

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cottage was full of historic charm. We loved the wrap around porch! The staff was quick to respond to our needs. We were disappointed with how many of the appliances were in disrepair or not working at all. The path to the beach was also overgrown making it impossible to pull a wagon or push a stroller. The space was described accurately online as far as what the rooms looked like and what amenities were available.

The limited toilets were the only downside, but my party of 9 gals still made it work. Loved our stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the feel and charm of 1923 by the sea. Even when there was a little more rain than we would have preferred, the wrap-around porch was perfect for puzzles and games! We loved following the path, through the dunes to the beach. It was tucked away and private. We went into Savannah a couple of times, and the commute was easy. This house was a gem of a find!

It’s not modern, but it had all we needed.It’s crooked, but clean and cozy... the porch is great!Best of all is proximity to the beach... you just walk out the back door and over the private crosswalk to the water.We’ll stay again!

Beautiful old cottage could use a heavy dose of TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family has stayed here many times but we probably won't again until we can be sure everything will work properly (hot water had funky smell at first, dishwasher never worked during our 5 days), certain upgrades have happened (sister got locked in her bedroom because the ancient doorknob was broken), and we'll arrive to a cottage whose floors have been scrubbed clean, and the porch and porch furniture have been wiped down. It's a shame because this place is incredibly charming and beautifully and conveniently situated.

Beautiful historic home

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at 1923 By The Sea. We loved the charm that an old home provides. It was quintessential Tybee. The oak tree lot is gorgeous - and rare on Tybee. We enjoyed family time inside and out on the porch. We walked 13th Street for beach access which was a short walk.

Beautiful home but

Sometimes when you call something “vintage” or “antique” toooo long, it really means “old” or “broken” or “needs to really be fixed”. Home is BEAUTIFUL but doors don’t shut. Knobs fall off. Floors about to break in some places. You can see thru the floor in some places. No closets at all. Smelly nasty sink in each room. Washer and dryer junk.

Family Time with my Soldiers!

We came to Tybee Island to spend time with my US Army Soldier who is stationed at Ft Stewart. We just picked up my other son who just graduated US Army basic combat training and brought him over to see his brother before he gets deployed. It was a wonderful weekend! We had a few other soldiers from my son's unit come to spend time with us as well. I loved getting to know the guys who will be protecting my boy in the field!

1923 By The Sea: Beautiful vintage 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 is a wonderful old house full of vintage Character. Up to date appliances in kitchen. Washer and dryer quite old but still working. Loads of character in this house. Kitchen is very well stocked. Plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans and many other items. Everything was clean. Extra linens, towels and even several beach towels. Several beach chairs, sand toys, beach umbrellas & wave boards. Beds are bouncy but comfortable. The screened back porch area is absolutely amazing. We spent a lot of time there and the beach. Beach access is wonderful . The walkway through dunes was beautiful but tough for this ol lady. Beach was not crowded. The outside shower and the 2 in basement area are very convenient and clean. There is another nice and convenient bathroom down there not listed. Location to downtown is very good. But sets back off road so no traffic noises. Plenty of parking for vehicles. All in all this is a great vintage home. We had a wonderful stay.
