Beautiful view of Tybee Lighthouse!

We had a wonderful short stay over Christmas break. The duplex was cozy for our family of five. Pros: plenty of kitchen items, beach items in shed, washer/dryer, five min walk to lighthouse and beachCons: really creaky beds(when sitting or laying), porch could have been cleaned better(cleaned cushions and leaves/dirt blown off), dated kitchenWe had some delayed communication issues, but it was resolved. If you are a lighthouse or daily walk on the beach person, I recommend this property!

living room furniture is showing wearing, however all was very clean and comfortable. It's within a good 1/2 mile walk to the lighthouse, and close to a mile walk to the museum and beach. if you drive to beach it's an $4 a hour parking, with a min of 2 hrs. paid parking is all over Tybee from 8 am to 8 pm at $4 an hour.

Perfect get away

The house was clean and quiet, fully stocked with all things "beach", extremly family friendly. It was great having a kitchen to reduce some if the eating out costs (and to have coffee every morning). The washer dyer access was really nice and more then anything the atmosphere was just totally relaxed, it waa close to the beach ans lighthouse, easy to get in to downtown Savannah and definitely somewhere we would book again.

Great location

We absolutely loved our time in tybee as usual. We really enjoyed the location of this house because we could easily access the beach in two areas. The house had a nice cottage feel to it. It had all the things you would need plus borrowed beach items. We had a little trouble with the wifi but it eneded up not really being an issue since we were rarely in the house anyway. Plenty of room to park

This place is great. Its a simple house. We really used it only for sleeping and showering. No cooking or anything, so i cant speak for any of that. Location is great. Hop skip and a jump away from Savannah. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach. Only small issues with the condition of the house, but its seriously nothing. One of the bedroom doors was a little sticky. Ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms was a smidge wobbly. But who cares. Beds were comfortable. House was cozy. If youre on the fence, book it.

Quaint Cottage in Great Location!

My family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tybee Island Cottage! It truly is a short walk to the beach and you can see the historic lighthouse from the porch. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable. Our host was very accommodating to let us leave our car parked after checkout so we could enjoy biking Tybee before returning home. If you’re lucky enough to book this place—HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Nice beachy cottage! Great location!

Clean and comfortable. Plenty of room. Comfortable beds. Nicely decorated. All the dishes and cookware you need. Easy walk to the beach, the lighthouse & museum, & the marine sanctuary (8 minutes per Google maps). There are no sidewalks so if you have little kids, be aware. Overall very pleased with the location and the accommodations. Can’t wait to come back for another stay!

Perfect location

This was the perfect cottage for a weeklong vacation. The cottage is in a quiet location within walking distance to the beach. Beautifully decorated, with all the comforts of home and amazing comfy, huge beds. Loved having the the little wagon to cart all our beach gear. Joey is a great host and super communicative. Thanks for a wonderful stay!. Warm Regards, Antoinette and Family.

A Terrific Time at Tybee

Wow, our stay was better than I could have imagined! Joey was so kind and responsive the entire trip and attentive to any inquiries we had. Check-in was easy and there were fresh flowers waiting for us inside which was such a nice touch. The host even left us some bottled water on the counter which was so sweet! The backyard was green and beautiful and we enjoyed grilling out on the charcoal grill and relaxing inside with the many streaming services provided. The place was so quaint and adorable and I would absolutley recommend to anyone coming to Tybee; the short 5 min walk to the lighthouse/beach was a huge plus, too. There's also a gas station a 5 min walk away that we went to for milk :) Oh, and there were more than enough pans/plates/dishes for 6+ people to use. The experience was perfect :) I hope to be back!

Cute on Inside but Poor Landscaping

The duplex was the perfect size, cute interior, great price and location! The one very bad downside is the yard which had not been manicured in ages and overgrown with dead limbs that had been there a while. There was even a ladder against the front porch of the unit next door snd old chairs left broken in the front yard from prior guests. The external property is in really bad shape and needs a good manicure and some curb appeal. Other than being embarrassed to bring over friends to the property I was pleased with all else. Saw a few dead roaches in the house but nothing major.
