Great Location

This property is in an excellent location. It’s steps from the beach, corner lot, and only a few blocks from restaurants/shops. It also was clean and communication with property management was great. I only gave 3 stars for the fact that the listing was inaccurate and said sleeps 6 with a sleeper sofa, which we needed since my older kids didn’t want to sleep together. I asked about it and was told they changed the sofa, and they were nice to drop off an air mattress for us. There was also wear and tear in several places. These next comments weren’t taken into consideration for the rating since there isn’t anything the management group can do about this and is only to make others aware to help with their rental decision. The a/c unit in 2nd bedroom is really loud. The laundry room is shared with the downstairs unit that is also rented and has to be accessed from outside. The unit downstairs has a patio that extends out so the upstairs deck overlooks them and makes it a little awkward since staring at each other when outside. Overall, our family trip to Tybee was a great experience and will come visit again!!

Amazing Find!

We were blown away by this property, the pictures dont do it justice! Everything was immaculately clean, the beds and furniture were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. The absolute best part of this property is the location. It is just steps from the beach access and maybe a 2 minute walk to the beach if that. You can see the ocean from the patio but there is a large sand dune that partially obstructs the view, however this takes nothing away from the patio. The property is within easy walking distance from shopping and dining. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend staying here!

Great Location

This is the perfect place to stay for a beach vacation. The condo was spacious enough for two couples and close enough to shops and restaurants for walking. The sand dunes and foliage offered a lot of privacy, yet you can still sit on the porch and look out over the ocean. We would definitely come back!

Good house, bad town rules

House was in a great location and was dog friendly. Problem is, the town is not. They don't allow dogs on the beach and have a big fine if you do.

Tybee Spring Break

My family with two teenage boys had a wonderful time in Tybee for Spring Break. The public beach access is right next to the house. Very convienent. The view from the house was a little blocked by dunes, but very nice. The mattresses and couches are in need of an upgrade, but this house had everything we needed. We loved the location and had a great time as usual visiting Tybee Island!

Well-appointed property with PARTIAL oceanfront views. Great location. Comfortable Beds!

Beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. Loved the big tub. Property was well appointed. Property did NOT have a washer/dryer as advertised. We had really hoped to be able to do laundry. Oceanfront views are partial as dunes block some of the views. We spent a lot of time on the deck under the sun!

Quarantine Getaway

We needed to get out of Illinois and this place was perfect. Plenty of activity but far enough where we can still work from the deck and not feel eyes on us. Beautiful sunrises, huge beaches that are great to run on, super friendly people and great weather. Couldn't ask for a better last minute getaway!
