About this property

Fantastic house in quiet beach neighborhood! Home is 2170 square feet and features 2 huge wrap around porches, additional large separate deck and plenty of space to relax. Two private beach entrances are only steps away! We are only a few hundred yards from the famous Tybee Lighthouse, North Beach Grille, and all the amenities in the North Tybee area! North Beach is an actual bird sanctuary so wildlife is amazing for walks on the beach and every day, you are virtually guaranteed to see DOLPHINS right off the beach!

Update April 2024* - We purchased a brand new 2024 Evolution Classic Plus Golf Cart that we rent out to guests only at a much lower price than what you would pay on the island and it's already on sight kept in the garage and is there for your enjoyment! We do charge an extra fee for the golf cart usage, so please inquire if interested and we can provide more details!

The space

We have an elevator for use to haul groceries up to the second level or to use in the event someone has special mobility needs. We ask that children not use the elevator without an adult present.

Included is a cart for carrying umbrellas/chairs/towels to the beach. Please be sure to clean it out for the next guest when you leave. We have also included a few beach chairs and umbrellas for your beach enjoyment.

The Neighborhood/Area

There are two beach accesses in the neighborhood.(See aerial map in photos)

****Covid Update--- The home is located on the quiet and more or less secluded north side of the beach. There are 2 separate private beach entrances so no crowds to deal with. Once on the beach, you have the entire north point of the island to spread out. Even in the busiest weekends in normal times, you would have no problem being 25 yards or more away from any other beach goers. If you want quiet and low crowds in a beautiful spacious home, this is your place!

Our home is a short 18 mile straight shot to River St in Savannah so you have the best of all worlds (beach PLUS Savannah!). Uber/Lyft as well as taxi are readily available on Tybee Island

We are also just off of Highway 80 on the north side of the island. We are just a few hundred yards from the historic Tybee Lighthouse, North Beach Grille, and all other restaurants and shopping on North Tybee!

R&R to the max

The property location was great! Walkable to the beach as well and some shops and restaurants. The more touristy area of Tybee is just a short drive away. As much as we loved the island and the sunrise walks on the beach, we always seemed to find ourselves relaxing on the side porch between adventures. A great place to stay with family or friends

Disability friendly

Amazing house, perfect location for everything we needed. I stayed here with my grandmas who are very limited mobility wise. The elevator was the biggest help, and the house is spacious enough to walk easily with a walker.

Nice location

The property is as described and pictured. But, some of the outdoor areas were not inviting or well maintained - the screens were torn, the back deck had not been swept clean, there was a broken window on the deck with the grill, and there was no clean or comfortable table where we could eat. There were a few plumbing issues (toilet not flushing, no hot water) that the owner was quick to resolve, but our stay was interrupted by 3 handyman/plumber visits.

Super home in a nice location

Our family, including three adult children, had a great time on Tybee and A Shore Thing was just that. We thoroughly enjoyed the vibe of the northern end of the island. Owners were quick to respond to questions and the golf cart made it super easy (and fun) to get around and saved on parking fees. Great home, super location. Would rent again.

Nice big house

We stayed at this home for a week - it is very roomy, the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking, beds and furniture comfortable. It's a quick walk to the beach, although the boardwalk closest to the house was closed. We rented the golf cart as well, and enjoyed using it to get around the island. The only complaint would be that we couldn't find any flashlights or emergency candles when Helene came through and took the power out. We also couldn't find linens for the pull out sofa bed. Otherwise, it was great.

Great Location

Great location. We have been going to Tybee for several years. Found the location great as it had quick access to the river beach and north beach. Short walk to Fort Screven beach access and Aquatic center which the littles loved. We found the house layout great for our group. We had two families with 9 people and there was plenty of space in the kitchen and dining area. Common areas were great. The wives loved the porches and found them great for a 'hidden' nap from the kids :-) The neighborhood was extremely quiet with low activity which was great for families to get some rest and quiet after a long day of activities.

Peaceful North Beach Property

We enjoyed our stay. The house was super clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The cookware was good quality, the beds were cozy, the furniture was clean and comfy. There was plenty of space to spread out. The north beach was quiet and peaceful, as always. We would definitely rent this house again.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Our family had a great time here; many thanks, Sean and Katie! Owners were very responsive to anything we asked about and they went out of their way to make sure we felt at home and at ease - just what you want when you are on vacation. House was nice and clean when we arrived, which was important to us given the COVID19 situation. Wifi worked perfectly for a few of us that were working remotely for a couple days. Perfect location on north side of the island to get away!

Great weekend getaway with friends

Loved the location close to Savannah. We enjoyed many restaurants…especially Bubba Gumbos for lunch (get there early) and Sugar Shack is a must!!!! We cooked in two nights and had all we needed in the kitchen. Mattresses were very comfortable as was the layout. Great shower pressure! For those with very young children you will have a walk to get to beach across small hills and boardwalks. We enjoyed our morning walks on beach and fireplace at night. Thanks for a great stay.

Family Vacation at Tybee

5 families chose to vacation at Tybee and ours stayed at "A Shore Thing". We had a great time. The house was as advertised. My wife's mother was disabled, so we had chosen this house based on the elevator and it worked great. We had everyone over a couple of times and cooked and played games in the main living area, which is very spacious and everyon enjoyed it. We chose to rent the golf cart and ran around the island mainly to shop and get treats. A close walk from the house was the beach. The beach was not packed and there was plenty of room to setup our Sun Ninja and chairs. Upon returning to the house, we used the outdoor shower to rinse off, very nicely located. I will mention that the beds were great. Everyone was very pleased with how comfortable they were and the great sleep we all had. This was a great stay!!!

Summer Getaway!

Sean and Katie were amazing hosts. Home was in the ideal location with easy access to a private beach. We came along with our children, another family and furry children. The dog park down the street was amazing. Very friendly neighborhood with quick access to all what Tybee has to offer. The home was fully stocked with towels, laundry and dish soap, ample T.P., glassware, great A/C, and room for our group of 8 + 3 dogs! Wagon and umbrellas were supplied along with beach toys. Would stay here again, next time we visit Tybee!

About the host

Hosted by Sean Wilt

Hello, we are Sean and Katie! We live in Austin full-time, but travel frequently with our jobs so have a good feel for our favorite parts of the country. We love to ski and go to the beach. We have a dachsund Leroy is our our pride and joy, and we enjoy wine, good food, Dallas Cowboys football and just spending quality time with friends.

Why they chose this property

When we first came to Tybee Island and Savannah, we just fell in the love with the area. Our daughter is a student at Savannah College of Art and Design so we took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone - purchase an investment home, and provide a place we can stay when we visit our daughter!

The home is beautiful and the location is perfect in a quiet higher end neighborhood that is just steps from the beach. We have since met the neighbors and have become fast friends. There is so much to do on Tybee right around the corner. We hope you love it as much as we do!
