I love this house! The location is perfect for my family! The dipping pool is exactly that, a dipping pool. Great for standing around in at the end of the day with a cocktail. My son captured the sentiment in saying “it feels like you’re visiting a friend’s house rather than renting a place.” It’s comfortable, plenty of amenities, comfortable beds and living room furniture. Thanks for the hospitality!

Girl's weekend

Easy walk to the beach and around the community. We enjoyed the open deck, which was great for gathering, games and conversations. There were 8 of us, and there were plenty of rooms and beds. Some maintenance was required during our stay; the property manager was responsive and matters were corrected in a timely manner, which we appreciated.

Great house for large group of adults or families!

The house has a really great set up with separate quarters so plenty of room to have your own little areas. But the common areas are spacious enough for everyone to be in! We loved the pool to cool off in every day and hang out at. There are a lot of sitting areas. Host was super responsive and kind!

Disappointed Stay

When you pay close to $9k for the week, you expect things to be perfect or as close to it as possible. I understand the unexpected can happen, but the handling of our issue(s) was disappointing to say the least; especially when they appeared to be known issues pushed aside. No resolution/compensation offered for being without a washer for the vast majority of our trip. Yes, it was repaired, but the manner in which it was done was highly unprofessional. Feel free to message me for more details.

Great Location, Great House

An amazing amount, almost too much, cookware and appliances. Air conditioning was great, we had to turn down the pre-sets. The pool was a nice way to cool off. Still, the South Beach location is the main attraction since we spent one year on the North Beach before finding SB. It's so close to both the SB, Tybee Creek and the main fishing pier/shop area. Having 4 parking spots was luxury. The garage was well stocked with beach wagons, beach and surf toys. A problem with electricity was solved immediately by the caretakers. Drinks on the rooftop at sunset!

Great House

My family and I rent out a beach house every year at different beaches. This was hands down my favorite place. We had 11 people; ages ranging from 5 to 80 years old. The bedrooms were spaced out perfectly that everyone had there own area. The house had every accommodation you would want or need. The only thing that you need to bring is a beach towel. The added touches with decor and all the provisions with the house; beach chair's umbrella's; wagons; beach toys; flash lights down to the insect repellent were greatly appreciated.The distance to the beach and quaint area was amazing. The owner's, the host; Jane and her husband were awesome. Any questions regarding the house were answered quickly. No reason to stay at another beach house, this is definitely the one. Best vacation ever!

Great family beach vacation

We planned a big family vacation and had a wonderful time at this property! The house is huge and offers many large, comfortable beds and separate rooms to accommodate separate families. We cooked almost all meals at the house and had every utensil and appliance we needed. The house is also well-stocked with all the beach gear you’ll need so you can leave all that at home! The only thing I would change is for the WiFi at the home to work better; it didn’t reach throughout the house and even where it reached, it was too weak to even work on the TVs in the home.

This place was nice! Short walk to the beach was great. Beds were super comfortable. The property manager was very helpful. The full size washer and dryer was nice but they were stacked and it was difficult to reach the dryer, we had to use a step stool. The shower in the downstairs was a little weird. The knob to turn the water on and off was so high that my short family members could not reach it.

The house is in a wonderful location that is far enough from crowds but close enough to walk to the beach and downtown Tybee. We had 6 adults and 6 kids and there was plenty of space for us all to hangout and not feel crowded. It was a wonderful place to stay in Tybee to make core memories.

We stayed at this property with my five daughters and their significant others and we had a blast. The house came with all the fun beach toys and chairs we needed. Just a quick walk to the beach or river as well. Plenty of space in the house to spread out and not be on top of one another. It was nice to have a dipping pool on the property as well to cool off in the very hot heat of the day.

The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need for your stay. It is only steps from a quieter beach than the rest of the island. It’s comfortable and with our party of 9, very spacious. My only negative was that the owners suite on the 3rd floor has no bedroom or bathroom door. If someone is coming up the stairs, once they get to the landing they can see straight into the shower from a large full length mirror positioned at The top of the stairs. This can be a little tricky with kids and family Overall it was an incredible stay.

Wonderful house!

I have never stayed in any VRBO rental that was as stocked with essentials as this one. The kitchen not only had every item we needed, but each bathroom was fully equipped with nice soap, lotion and plenty of toilet paper. The towels were soft and smelled great. The garage was packed with beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and 2 carts to transport everything on the short walk to the sand. The private pool had 2 umbrellas and 12+ chairs. The pictures of this home on VRBO don’t do it justice. It is so nice and comfortable. The TV in the living room is like a movie screen. The master suite upstairs is a special luxury with a walk in shower! Thank you to the owners and caretakers for making our family beach trip so much fun.
