Really enjoyed the property. Great porch and closeness to the back river beach area. Great for smaller kids as you get less wave action. Will definitely stay again.

I loved the house and especially the porch. It was so relaxing sitting on the porch and looking out over the water. Several nights it stormed and we were able to sit on the porch and listen to the rain and watch the lightning. We spent most our time at the beach or on the porch. The town area and pavilion was within walking distance to shop or get ice cream. The town was very clean and I felt safe walking anywhere. We had best of both worlds - the relaxing river and the ocean waves. Savannah is not far and easy to get to. The Crab Shack was a very short distance to drive to and had great food.

We vacation to Tybee Island every summer with friends from 3 different states. We always look forward for our “friends” reunion and this spot made it even better. It had plenty of room for all of us and the porch was our favorite part of the home. We ate dinner every night at the huge 8-10 person table on the porch with the most amazing sunsets! In the mornings we all met on the porch to have coffee and look at the beautiful view of the calm backwater. The beds and linens were sooooo comfortable and I actually ordered the sheets that were on our bed! The kitchen was well stocked and had updated appliances(even a mini fridge on the porch). The full bath downstairs on the ground level was great for rinsing off and coming up from the beach. The path to the beach was so convenient too. There were so many memories made and we are already trying to book it for next year!

The best location in Tybee. Favorite activities: reading while laying on the porch, swimming, eating at great restaurants, cooking and dining on the porch, sunsets w/ a glass of wine! The house is perfectly charming, clean and comfortable.

I rented Swan Cottage about 35 years ago for $1,000 a month. I loved it so much that when i developed "cabin fever" at home I decided this cottage would be the best one to escape to.

The screen porch is a great place to just sit and relax! You do have to go outside in order to get to the bedrooms upstairs, at first I was not sure how I would like it but turns out it was not a big deal. We had plenty of room and space for our party of 8! I will be staying again!! Tybee Cottages are great to work with!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time staying at the Swan cottage. The "Back River" of Tybee is one of the best kept secrets on the Georgia coast. The sunsets here are spectacular and the beaches are far more private than on the front beach. The Swan cottage itself has everything that you need for a great getaway. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, and the wide screened in porch upstairs gives you one of the best sunset views on the island. You can absolutely not go wrong choosing the Swan cottage for your family vacation.

Most of our time at the house was spent on the amazing porch with sweeping beach and Back River views. The home is very clean and well-maintained and Jim and his staff are very quick to respond when something needs to be fixed. The location is phenomenal; we paddled the Back River but were close enough to easily go to the Atlantic side as well. This is our third trip to this wonderful house, and we plan to return year after year.

The beds were comfortable but there wasn't a comfortable seat in the house including on the porch. The kitchen is awful the counter, drawers and cabinets are dirty and need to be updated. No surprise there are no pictures of the kitchen on the web site.

Reviewer Comments: We love the location on the river so that we can kayak, swim, explore, etc. We spend most of our time on the screened in porch playing games, having dinner, and just hanging out. The house definitely has character and is perfect for our family. My only complaint would be that the doors sometimes lock someone in a room when a door knob gets stuck and it could use a little bit of a touch up as far as painting and some minor repairs. We love staying here anyway as the location is perfect for us. This is our third year; hoping to be back in 2018.

We spent our annual girls weekend at this amazing Tybee house. The pictures really don’t do it justice. This house is very vintage- but in the best of ways. With the privacy and direct access to the beach you feel like you have stepped back into the 1960s. It feels like you are staying at a beach house that’s been in your family for years- it does not feel like a rental. I thought having the kitchen and living room not connected through an internal staircase would be a problem - but it wasn’t! We made meals in the kitchen and brought them on to the glorious porch. The porch is really everything! I wish we could make this our annual go-to place every year! I definitely want to come back. Also the communication with the rental company was fabulous. I can’t say enough nice things about this magical cottage. It’s actually so refreshing to have a galley kitchen with old school cabinets- we are all so used to the completely renovated beach homes these days- but I’ll take this vintage beauty all day long! This was a perfect reunion spot for a group of life long friends!

The “view” is the best way to describe this home. It’s has an amazing one of the the Tybee back river. It’s a truly authentic Tybee cottage, run well by the management folks, and made for a memorable experience. Many thanks! Will be back!

We really liked the location of this house. When you walk over the dunes, there is a sandy beach on the inlet. This is a beautiful place to sit and watch the sunset and that is what we did daily. We also loved the porch. It is a big screened in porch with a beautiful view. It is a great place to have morning coffee. The house is an old history home with lots of charm. We loved exploring the home. The layout of the home is a bit unusual. There are no indoor stairs, you have to go outside to go up to the second floor bedrooms. I love that the rental provides towels and sheets as well as bar soap and a roll of paper towels and toilet paper in each bathroom. The house has some basic low beach chairs, if you want taller or adjustable chairs you may want to bring your own. The location of the house is walkable to the little “downtown area”. But it is quiet and residential. The walk is not far to go to the Oceanside beach. I would love to stay at this home again.

The property was perfect for our family. The large screened in porch was just fantastic for the family either to relax or play games. The access to the water was great calm waters by the property and a short walk so the grandson could ride the waves on the other side. Would highly recommend this property. Jim was on top of the only problem we had and had it fixed in a timely manner. Great time!

What you see in the pictures is exactly what you will find when you arrive at the home. You are staying in a vintage cottage on the beach that has all the characteristics of a home that has been used for over fifty years. The porch upstairs is the place to be to watch the sunset or just watch the wind blow the sea oats on the dunes. Helpful information to know that is not readily available through the listing: The lower level contains the kitchen, living/dining area, a full bath inside off the living room and a full bath accessible only from the upstairs. All four bedrooms are upstairs. The main bedroom has a king size bed and private bathroom. The second bedroom with a king bed is entered through a door from the porch or through a Jack and Jill bath that connects the room to the inside hallway where the other two bedrooms are located. Those bedrooms share either that bathroom or will need to use the other bathroom off the main bedroom or use the two bathrooms downstairs. Cell phone connectivity downstairs is sketchy and calls are best made and received outside on the porches. We enjoyed our stay (the porch!!!!) and would love to stay again.
