Old Tybee feel with homey family feel

The check in through check out process was seamless. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the stay beacause the home felt like staying at a family member's beach home. And within walking distance to IGA and nightlife.

Great house and location

We had a family beach weekend. The house met our needs perfectly, and the location was a two-minute walk to the beach. The house was stocked with lots of kitchen stuff, beach towels, and beach chairs. It was a quick walk to the IGA for more ice. The deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening cocktails.

Unbelievable experience

My family and I had an amazing time in Tybee together and this house was perfect for us. Plenty of space for a large group to spread out, a short walk from the beach, and convenient shops/food nearby. Host was available at all times and was extremely helpful and kind. Can’t wait to visit again!

Cozy Beach Home

What a cozy beach house! Very comfortably furnished with nice linens and sufficient kitchen utensils, plates, etc. We felt like we were staying at someone's home. Our host was a great communicator. Excellent location. Just steps from the beach boardwalk to the ocean and only a block away from the island grocery store. Easy to walk to restaurants, downtown area and main pier. We would stay again.

Family weekend getaway

Property was very nice and spacious and provided enough bedding for our group of 5 adults and 3 children. We were able to cook breakfast in the morning as the grocery store was within walking distance. Took us 1 minute to walk from the house to the pier. Ms. Suzanne was very thorough with her communication before and during our stay. Would definitely stay again.

Great host, great house, great location!

We loved our girls getaway for the 35th anniversary of our becoming friends! The house had a nice amount of space for four friends to spread out for our stay. Comfy spots in the house and on the deck to sit and chat. Easy walk to the beach (we appreciated access to towels & chairs), as well as several restaurants and shops, including the grocery store. Very reasonable drive in to Savannah. Host was great to work with!

Amazing Property

This was such a wonderful property for our family vacation. It was so close to everything from beach to restaurants. We really enjoyed the beautiful deck and spent most of our time while at the house lounging on the comfy patio furniture. I could not believe how nice the beach was and only steps away from our front door. Thank you Suzanne for letting us stay at your property. We hope to be back soon with even more family members.

Awesome!

This house was very well kept and in a prime location! The floorplan was laid out nicely and was easy to accommodate our large party. The neighbors were very friendly and the access to the beach was right out the front door. The owner was very easy to contact and eager to answer any questions and all concerns. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit again.

Great Get-Away

This property is accurately named! It truly was a retreat for my husband and I. We enjoyed the beautiful sunroom every day and had everything we could need. Suzanne was a wonderful hostess being sure to communicate with us well before our arrival and even after we arrived. We didn't need anything, but if we had, she would have gotten it for us! Looking forward to next year!

Mrs. Suzanne goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is everything you could ever imagine! This home is clean and very well taken care of. We came down for my brothers wedding and it was the best experience ever! We were minutes from the store, in walking distance to restaurants and this home came equipped with anything you may have missed on your packing. Very nice and clean home, thank you mrs Suzanne

Great Girls Getaway

We enjoyed this stay very much. So close to the beach only a few steps from beach access. Watching the sun come up from the front porch was beautiful. Rooms were used efficiently for maximum capacity. It’s hard to please a group of 7 ladies but none of us had complaints! If I had to list something that could be improved upon I would say that the carpet in the bedrooms was not ideal. A few things are dated but we enjoyed the nostalgic feel and atmosphere. It’s a cozy little beach house that met all our needs. The host was thorough and had great communication. Thank you Ms Suzanne! We will be back!

Perfect Retreat

I'll say, we ended up here by accident, but I'm so glad that we did. Our original booking had some challenges due to the current state of the world & this property came up on a search. It was perfect. The rental is one story, but was so perfectly laid out that seven (relatively high maintenance) females fit ourselves and all of our things perfectly within the bedrooms and bathrooms. With two bathrooms, that was a feat. The kitchen area and the outdoor seating was always our gathering spot when we weren't at the beach - which was just a brief few steps from the door. Everything you need is here and in clean, working order. The beds were incredibly comfortable which is always uncommon in a beach house. A few girls are already looking at booking this spot for an upcoming couples trip. Mrs Suzanne was an incredible host. She was so attentive and gracious as a property owner and I'm almost sure there's not a kinder soul on Tybee. Can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Woodrum

Our family has always believed that making memories is an essential part of life! What better memories if one loves the beach than having a beach house to create those memories! That vision was realized by our Grandparents Charlie & Susie Rowland who purchased our home in 1982. They wanted a special place for the entire family to create memories on special occasions and even the simplest weekend beach trip. We honor their lives and memory by celebrating life and those special memories created by family. Whether it's one of the major holidays or a 'beach weekend', share our home with your family and create a memory. Charlie & Susie would love it!

Why they chose this property

Stay at our spacious private home close to the beach for less than a tiny condo elsewhere.

What makes this property unique

Our home is quaint, quiet and comfortable with all the features to create a memorable family event. Close to the beach with ocean view, porch swing, HOT/COLD outside shower, privacy fenced, coveniently located within walking distance of Tybee Market (less than a block), many great restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and Tybrisa Pavilion & Pier area at main Beach.
