About this property

Island Bliss | Charming Cottage, Pool + Garden!

Welcome home to Island Bliss! This adorable vintage cottage was built in 1910 and has been completely renovated to include modern conveniences while respecting the original character and charm. Guests will love the huge private pool! The home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood on Tybee's north side. Just a short 2 1/2 block stroll away from the beach, Tybee Lighthouse, and the popular restaurant North Beach Grill.

Guests will enjoy this adorable two-bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage which features a Queen size bed in the main bedroom, a living room with a sleeper sofa and a 4K Smart TV, and a full kitchen. The home features a central HVAC, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, Blu-ray player, washer and dryer, and an up-to-date kitchen including a Keurig coffee maker and a gas stove. There are original pine floors, ship-lap walls, a claw foot tub, and a large shower which enhance the cottage feel. The second bedroom is an open sleeping loft, which is perfect for children, as it is furnished with two twin beds. There are also two enclosed porches to enjoy the views of the manicured yard.

Outside the home, guests will love the beautiful, large swimming pool - 9 feet wide by 26 feet long (3 1/2 to 4 1/2 ft depth) - which is surrounded by a lush garden, and private off-street parking for 2 vehicles. The yard is fully fenced, giving you a sense of seclusion and privacy and includes a gas grill for cooking out. There is a fully enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water, great for rinsing off after a day at the beach. The home is located across the street from Jaycee Park with a walking/biking path and playground.

Guests can choose to add optional pool heat for an additional cost. Parking for 1 car in front of the home, and 1 car behind home (compact only). This home is not pet-friendly.

Cute cottage in paradise!

We had a fantastic time at this charming cottage that truly felt like a getaway to the islands. Its perfect, tranquil location right on the bike path made exploring Tybee Island a breeze. We can't wait to visit again on our next trip to the Savannah area!

Great mini vacation house!

Great house, so much fun! The only slightly tricky part was getting into driveway/ parking spot and backing out without hitting neighbors trash cans etc. Such a bright and fun island house!

Beautiful cottage

Charming space...seems bigger than the square footage indicates. Pool is nice and it’s a 5 min walk to the north beach boardwalk. A little slice of heaven!

Good family time

We were a bike riding distance from the beach. We rented bikes from zoom. The house was accommodating & relaxing with everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay. The upstairs loft area was a little warm but they provided a fan & the kids were fine up there. There seems to be a lot of stray cats lingering around the home. Overall it was good, we will stay again!

Great Spot

House was clean and had all the ammenities we needed! It was a quick walk to the beach/lighthouse and short 20 minute drive to Savannah. It was too cold to use the pool, but that would have become a big bonus with warmer weather. Highly recommend this place. Just FYI...the second bedroom upstairs has small beds and a low ceiling...so would only recommend counting that as a bedroom if you have smaller children.

Amazing!!!

I so enjoyed my stay! The home was so wonderful and the staff was very helpful! I needed a quick weekend getaway and this house was everything. I loved the beach was just a quick two-minute bike ride away! The staff helped me find the closest bike rental facility near me. I also loved that you could heat the bathroom and the private pool. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils you need to have a nice bbq. I loved that there's also a margarita machine (I didn't get to use it,..but I plan to on my next stay). Overall I loved every minute there and so did my friend. They loved the house so much they hardly left lol...Can't wait to come back soon!

No Beach or Pool Gear Provided

The property was great, it was as advertised. We were very comfortable. I'd stay again, except that it lacked all the basics for the beach and pool. No beach towels, no pool towels, and no beach chairs. I've stayed at many such properties, and you don't always get an umbrella, boogie boards, and bikes but you often do! Having no beach towels and beach chairs at a beach house? Come on!!! Having no pool towels for the pool?!?!?! As a result we could not use the pool or go to the beach until we had purchased some overpriced towels at the local tourist trap, and rented beach chairs. Really it's just so obvious it's hard to believe.

Island Bliss

Pros: This is an adorable property. It is just a few blocks from north beach. There were enough paper towels and dish detergent for the week. Pool was small, but comfortable. Very nice outdoor shower. Cons: There was no salt or pepper (not a problem, but worth knowing). The entry has a solid archway which is a little low (spouse is 6'4" & occasionally hit his head). Also, the front door is secure, but the deck door to the pool needs the lock and/or the whole door replaced. It is a french door and the lock is identical to several at my house, so it was not user error. They have done a quick fix of a latch which does not work well, either. I did not feel my belongings were secure. For the price, this is not acceptable, as the fence around the property is not a security fence.

Lovely property just steps from North Beach, Tybee Island

The description and pictures do this property well. We loved the flexibility of either going to the beach or staying in and swimming in the pool. It turned out to be a vacation saver when the man 'o war came in on day 3. (No fun at the beach with them around!) Perfect size for the two of us for the 4-5 days we were there and a great jumping off point to explore Savannah as well. Two not as positive comments: 1) Directions were off by 1 turn on the way in and we circled the property for ~ 40 minutes before calling and having someone talk us into it. Map programs do not have the location of the address correct. 2) The loft bedroom (sleeps two) was hot! It did cool down after dark / around 10 pm but the place needs to have a fan that can be placed in the loft to make that space usable in summer.

Cute Beach Cottage

We enjoyed our stay! The kitchen had everything we needed. Everything was very clean and organized. We only had two issues. This might be related to the time of year we stayed. The pool was a little dirty from the surrounding plants even after skimming the pool multiple times. And there was a lot of construction going on around the block until late at night.

Cozy Historic Bungalow by the Beach

This was such a cute little historic bungalow. My partner and I needed a getaway for a few days in January. Not the most ideal time to stay at a beach house but this little sanctuary was perfect. We worked on puzzles, made dinner, watched movies, and took long walks on the beach (when the weather cooperated). The little tranquil pool was the perfect spot to read, even if it was a bit too cold to swim. It would have been even better if the fireplace worked but honestly I was perfect for us, even in the off-season.

Repeat visitor - LOVED it here!

We are repeat visitors to Island Bliss - and every time we love it even more! My husband and I spent a week here. The landscaping was fantastic this time and the pool temperature was just perfect. (Last time was a bit overgrown and couldn't get around the pool/outdoor shower/back driveway as easily.) House was clean and fresh from top to bottom, kitchen is bright and full of everything we needed, and even the laundry detergent was provided! We absolutely love it here. We'll be coming back with our 4 year old son in a month and can't wait!

Perfect get-away

What a tremendous break from the pandemic craziness. We wanted a week of solitude, and a little bit of beach. We spent most of our time at the pool, reading, relaxing and forgetting about masks, vaccines, and the pandemic. The house was just right - and just as adversied. Well worth the travel time.

Perfect place to relax

We spent Thanksgiving here. It was such a nice escape! The house is adorable and well equipped! My son loved the pool and beach (it was too cold for everyone else). So close to North Beach Grill!! We were also able to visit with family and friends (only a couple at a time) outside by the pool and keep our social distance!
