Perfect Tybee Getaway

We've stayed at five different properties now on that end of Tybee Island and of those five, this was far and away our favorite stay! Beautiful home, plenty of space, wonderful outdoor/pool area and quick walk to either the ocean or inlet side of beach. Absolutely loved our time there!

Everything about this place was amazing! It’s truly a Tybee treasure. Whimsical is an apt description of the entire home- Jan and Bill have thought of every little detail to make it a delightfully refreshing getaway. The only thing that would make it better is if it was on the water—it was an easy walk, though, if we weren’t carrying so much “stuff” down to the beach.

Overall a positive experience. Did have some worries about lead paint exposure for my 2 yr old grandson simply due to the age of the house. Lots of pool fun and beach fun! Very short walk to the inlet and beach. Cute decor and well stocked kitchen.

Best beach vacation ever

Plenty of room and bathrooms for everyone. Clean, cozy and interesting house. Suggestions: Only a couple wash cloths and hand towels. Only 1 dish cloth and towell. Trees at pool need trimmed - sun only near shallow end and leaves accumulated in pool even if we cleaned it daily. The step replacement carpenter was on the property 3 days. Thank you for reimbursing 10 percent for less privacy and not using front steps. We would stay in this house again- so close to the beach and restaurants. Drew the caretaker was very helpful too.

Great House for Large Group

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: We absolutely loved this charming, cattywompus, whimsical home. It was perfect for out large group. A few small details that need to be addressed: There was a lack of towels and when we called about it, someone was supposed to bring more but that never happened. We also had an issue with the toilet in the master bathroom not flushing because the toilet tank wouldn't fill. Never saw anyone on this either but the tank started filling again on it own. Railing to the back door was loose. The house was wonderful despite these and actually seemed to add to the stay of staying in an older home with vintage plumbing.

Great with one irritating exception

This was a long-awaited trip with extended family. The day before arriving, we were informed that an HVAC appointment had been scheduled for our first day there. We were told that there was no way they could move the appointment. When they came, we were told it would take an hour. In reality, it was 2.5 hours and, when we checked to see if they were done, the technicians were surly and sassy. Nothing was broken that couldn't have waited until the house was vacant to address, so this was highly inappropriate and irritating. I think they were adding to the air system or something. Other than that, the place couldn't have been more wonderful for our group. Great spaces, fun and comfortable furnishings and the pool was perfect. The location was also just right - removed from hustle and bustle but a quick walk to beaches and amenities.
