Swan cottage

Great location. Clean. Well equipped kitchen which we used. Great vintage home of the 1930s which fortunately hasn't been gutted. Appreciated the history. Spectacular wrap around porch which we loved. Short walk to beach, inlet or ocean. Very comfortable bedrooms and beds. Loved the decor and all the books and art. Thanks!

Great place on the Back River

Really enjoyed the property. Great porch and closeness to the back river beach area. Great for smaller kids as you get less wave action. Will definitely stay again.

Loved it!!!!

I loved the house and especially the porch. It was so relaxing sitting on the porch and looking out over the water. Several nights it stormed and we were able to sit on the porch and listen to the rain and watch the lightning. We spent most our time at the beach or on the porch. The town area and pavilion was within walking distance to shop or get ice cream. The town was very clean and I felt safe walking anywhere. We had best of both worlds - the relaxing river and the ocean waves. Savannah is not far and easy to get to. The Crab Shack was a very short distance to drive to and had great food.

The porch! The view! The location!

We spent our annual girls weekend at this amazing Tybee house. The pictures really don’t do it justice. This house is very vintage- but in the best of ways. With the privacy and direct access to the beach you feel like you have stepped back into the 1960s. It feels like you are staying at a beach house that’s been in your family for years- it does not feel like a rental. I thought having the kitchen and living room not connected through an internal staircase would be a problem - but it wasn’t! We made meals in the kitchen and brought them on to the glorious porch. The porch is really everything! I wish we could make this our annual go-to place every year! I definitely want to come back. Also the communication with the rental company was fabulous. I can’t say enough nice things about this magical cottage. It’s actually so refreshing to have a galley kitchen with old school cabinets- we are all so used to the completely renovated beach homes these days- but I’ll take this vintage beauty all day long! This was a perfect reunion spot for a group of life long friends!

Great Time at Tybee!!

The “view” is the best way to describe this home. It’s has an amazing one of the the Tybee back river. It’s a truly authentic Tybee cottage, run well by the management folks, and made for a memorable experience. Many thanks! Will be back!

Fabulous location and porch!

We really liked the location of this house. When you walk over the dunes, there is a sandy beach on the inlet. This is a beautiful place to sit and watch the sunset and that is what we did daily. We also loved the porch. It is a big screened in porch with a beautiful view. It is a great place to have morning coffee. The house is an old history home with lots of charm. We loved exploring the home. The layout of the home is a bit unusual. There are no indoor stairs, you have to go outside to go up to the second floor bedrooms. I love that the rental provides towels and sheets as well as bar soap and a roll of paper towels and toilet paper in each bathroom. The house has some basic low beach chairs, if you want taller or adjustable chairs you may want to bring your own. The location of the house is walkable to the little “downtown area”. But it is quiet and residential. The walk is not far to go to the Oceanside beach. I would love to stay at this home again.

Great stay and enjoyed it

The property was perfect for our family. The large screened in porch was just fantastic for the family either to relax or play games. The access to the water was great calm waters by the property and a short walk so the grandson could ride the waves on the other side. Would highly recommend this property. Jim was on top of the only problem we had and had it fixed in a timely manner. Great time!

The porch is everything!

What you see in the pictures is exactly what you will find when you arrive at the home. You are staying in a vintage cottage on the beach that has all the characteristics of a home that has been used for over fifty years. The porch upstairs is the place to be to watch the sunset or just watch the wind blow the sea oats on the dunes. Helpful information to know that is not readily available through the listing: The lower level contains the kitchen, living/dining area, a full bath inside off the living room and a full bath accessible only from the upstairs. All four bedrooms are upstairs. The main bedroom has a king size bed and private bathroom. The second bedroom with a king bed is entered through a door from the porch or through a Jack and Jill bath that connects the room to the inside hallway where the other two bedrooms are located. Those bedrooms share either that bathroom or will need to use the other bathroom off the main bedroom or use the two bathrooms downstairs. Cell phone connectivity downstairs is sketchy and calls are best made and received outside on the porches. We enjoyed our stay (the porch!!!!) and would love to stay again.
