Step into the most unique beach house on Tybee Island, voted for its clever and imaginative design. This extraordinary cottage is ingeniously built around an old-fashioned Trolley, lovingly restored and polished to its former glory. The Trolley's long and lean frame now serves as the captivating centerpiece for the living and dining area, providing an unforgettable ambiance.

Perfection

The Trolley Cottage was a dream come true. Exceeded our expectations; photos can't do justice to the house and the location! We were so impressed with the care given to restoration of the historic center of the property and the tastefulness of the decor and furnishings. And SUPER comfortable beds, sofas, and chairs. We settled right in. I left my phone when we left, and the response was prompt and helpful. Thank goodness! Our only suggestion is to upgrade the stove. A dishwasher would be nice but maybe not feasible in the available space. We were enchanted with our Tybee Trolley stay. Highly recommended for those who value history, beauty, and comfort.

Trolley needs some tender love

So overall, this was a nice place to stay and it was right on the beach. However, I feel that the place needs a little bit of tender love and care. For example, the door was very hard to close and open, and also it took about an hour for us to get the key out of the key lock. We realized that the bed in the master bedroom had a book that was holding it up.which seemed kind of ridiculous. The sofa and the beds need to be replaced as the sofa sank all the way down and the bed gave us both back pain. As I said this place needs some tender love and care to bring up the standards to make it a nicer place for people to stay.

Trolley Time

We absolutely loved the cozy trolley. It was clean and decorated so cute. We had everything we needed. Close to the beach which was wonderful. Quiet. The weather could have cooperated a little (rainy) but we had a wonderful visit. Saw places in Savannah and Charleston. I would recommend the Tybee Trolley to anyone looking for that special place to visit.

The Trolly House

This was a great location for the beach and town areas. We really enjoyed the time spent on the beach which was a short walk over the dunes. The beach was not busy and enjoyed the long walks during the day and night.

Problems getting in

The Trolley was a very unique place, but the outside area was not very clean & the grill was broken and could not use. We also could not open the lock to get the key out to open the door. There needs to be instructions on how to open the lock as we had to have someone come & open it for us. We waited over an hour to get in. We also didn't realize that we had no view of the water while using the porch due to the dunes. Something I will consider in future bookings. Also, the beach umbrella was broken & needs to be replaced. Overall, it was a unique experience.

Cozy Beachfront Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the charm of this oceanfront retreat! It was a perfect space for three generations (grandparents, parents, kids) directly at the dunes and cross-over to the beach. The decor and unique trolley "heart" of the cottage made it have a wonderful classic beach house feel. The place was clean and easily accessible to the island's restaurants and shops. We especially loved eating and playing games in the front full-glass sitting area. The kitchen could use some updating but it was also quaint and adequate for our stay.

Nothing Else Like It

My wife and I enjoyed a five-day getaway at the Tybee Trolley in mid-June. We were looking for a unique, relaxing experience for our first visit to Tybee Island; this property was just right. The Tybee Trolley is quaint (even a little quirky, as you might expect) but very comfortable and well maintained. As one might expect from the property listing, this is more of an unpretentious beach cabin than a luxury property. But it has everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We liked the location: on a relatively quiet stretch of the island, yet still within walking distance of both south beach/Tybrisa Street (about a mile away) and the north beach area (less than a mile away). We especially enjoyed time on the deck, right in front of the dunes. When the wind was a little too strong for deck time, it was easy to retreat into the porch area or the living area, without losing any of the gorgeous view. The kitchen was well equipped, and the air conditioning, plumbing, appliances, etc., all worked well, with one minor exception. We ran a load of laundry midway through the week and found that the dryer wasn't producing enough warm air to dry the clothes. In all, we had a great time. The Tybee Trolley was an excellent choice for us.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The trolley home was a neat little place to stay. It was perfect for our girl trip! The location is amazing. You are steps from the beach. We had a minor problem with one of the doors during our stay, but it was fixed quickly. Definitely recommend the trolley house for a couple or girls trip!

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: Our stay at the Tybee Trolley was great! Yes, there are a few quirks since it’s an old trolley car that has been converted and added onto. But, it’s steps from an uncrowded beach, walkable to The Deck restaurant and North Beach Bar and Grill. The house was super clean and had plenty of towels. The only improvement might be to provide beach chair and umbrella.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Trolley is vintage and charming is suits us to a “T” as the perfect place to stay when visiting beautiful Tybee. We love the location - it has easy beach access, and is close to the Fort Screven area where we love to walk and bike. A stay at the Trolley is always a perfect time.

Spring break getaway!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just got back home to Missouri from our 4 night stay on Tybee. My sister, teeanage son and I were there visiting my other son who is in school in Savannah. The cottage felt like home immediately. It was a quaint seaside beauty. We left to explore a little bit each day but loved coming back to hang out or visit the beach. Highlights- seeing dolphins & other wildlife right by our place, coffee every morning in a new spot in the cottage,shrimp boil with fresh food, sunrises on the beach, noting all of the details in the trolley part of the house and of course exploring Tybee & Savannah. We enjoyed the perfect weather & made memories for a lifetime! Thank you for sharing this beauty! 🐚 🌊 💙
