Location is wonderful! Janine is quick to respond and makes communication so easy. Loved seeing the vintage Tappan oven! I had never seen one like that.Beds are extremely comfortable.
We had a great time. The neighborhood was nice and quiet at this time of year, and only steps from the beach. The cottage is spacious, though older and not fully updated. We loved having the fenced yard for our dog. Overall a wonderful experience!
We had a lovely stay at Mai Tai-Bee in Tybee Island! Perfect for me, my daughter & her husband, and the toddler grandkids! Cute, clean home conveniently located around the corner from Beach access. Layout was perfect as bedrooms were separate from main living area. All expected amenities provided. Easy access and check in. Would def stay again we loved it!!!
We were looking for a pet friendly home and a single level home for my mother. This was perfect on both accounts . I personally liked the beach access that we were near (East Access, North beach). It was close and not nearly as crowded as the ones both north and south of us.
The home is older with older home character. I really enjoy that. It’s not a new condo or townhome so don’t expect that feel. With that being said, I’d gladly stay there again.
The property was amazing. It was such a small walk to the beach that we even went out that morning before we left just to hear the waves one last time. Janine was fantastic at communication and super understanding when I had to make a last-minute change to the party members, there were plenty of towels. The beds were comfortable no complaints at all nice property perfect location and you definitely cannot beat the price.
This was as if 2 beachouses had been put together. House was nice however did not expect a stepdown to the living room.(2 steps) however was very convenient for Tybee Island also about 3 blocks to beach (nice). A pleasant get away with a sugar shack 1/2 block away. A good stay family enjoyed daughter and boyfriend, Son and wife plus 2 grankids less than 1 year old fit snuggley in house.
We absolutely loved the house! We loved the location of the property and the size and amenities that was offered! We will definitely be getting this one again if it is available when we go to Tybee again!
This comfy and inviting house had everything we needed to enjoy a short beach getaway! Tybee Island is a charming town and this house puts you right in the middle of the most relaxing and fun area.
We really enjoyed this house. The proximity to the beach was outstanding. Everything we needed was right there. There were 7 of us and we had plenty of room. Communication with the owner was excellent and everything was taken care of quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend this house and owner.
Close to everything! Even the beach you can hear while sitting on front deck! Host was quick to reply and easy to get in touch with...would definitely recommend to others
We loved the layout of this home and the fenced in backyard for our fur babies. Great location to beach, only a block to the beach access. Loved the contactless checkin and ease of communication with the property manager. Will most definately stay here again in the future!
Enjoyed the house and back yard immensly, the mosiquitos were annoying but fire pit helped to keep them away. Proxmity to the beach and businesses was awesome. Thank you
Super short walk to the beach and walkable distance to lighthouse and North Beach made days enjoyable. Quiet street and neighborhood and comfortable beds made for good sleeping. Great beach sunrises for early birds!
This is a nice space. Plenty of rooms very close to the beach. Nice backyard with a great fire pit. We hope to secure this place same time next year. ❤️
House was perfect for our long weekend with family. House is quirky in a cool way. Owner was very responsive to questions and very nice to deal with. Would rent again!
