The listing photos do not do this house true justice, and it is decorated perfectly. Everything you need for the beach, pool etc.. you can find on the property. My family enjoyed all of the property especially the pool. The location is perfect (within two blocks of beach& town)we walked , biked and rode the golf cart everywhere. The only negative is that we messaged the host the day before our checkout to request staying an extra day and did not receive a response until the next day after we had checked out. The response was yes so it would have been nice to know that prior to packing up and leaving. Over all though it’s was wonderful stay!

Communication with owner was the best! We had people arriving from four different areas. Two early arrivals were able to park at home before check in - late lunch parking was non-existent within two blocks of any restaurant. House was comfortable for our eight adults, toddler, and infant. Everything needed for cooking meals was available. Sofas and beds were very comfortable. Great outdoor space that easily accommodated all of us. Plenty of bikes! Also plenty of chairs and great beach wagons, although we didn’t utilize them - heat wave during our stay kept us on the property most of the time. Check in and checkout went without any hiccups. We would stay here again on any trip to Tybee!

Perfect stay

We loved this home, super well maintained and close to the beaches, restaurants, shopping and an easy drive into Savannah. We enjoyed the pool and appreciated everything from the beach towels to the comfortable living room. The kitchen was well stocked, and there was ample room for six adult adults.

Probably the absolute BEST house we have rented on Tybee so far! It was 2 blocks from town a 7 minute walk to the beach and came with bikes and a pool. The pool area included a gas grill, outdoor dining table, outside bar and a comfy sectional. The owners are very nice and accommodating. Would most definitely rent this house again. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. Four of our 5 grandsons were there and they had a BLAST.

Simply Amazing

This house was fantastic for our family of 5 (kiddos are 8, 6 and 4). The house was exactly as listed. The heated pool was amazing. Easy walking distance to south beach and all the restaurants and shops. The beach cart and all the toys/yard games there were a bonus. The owners were so hospitable and kind during check-in. We will 100% be back again next year!
