About this house rental
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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

Just what we needed
The location was great. The house had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay and the cats living around the house were a delightful addition.

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.

Cutest place ever!
Me and my family love this property so much. It was so cute and was exactly like the pictures that were shown. We can’t want to come back and stay a full week.

Great place, great neighborhood!
This was our first time at Tybee and it was such a smooth check in and communication process, I really enjoyed every second of it. No hassles, and the cottage was so fun and so enjoyable. It had all we needed!
Thank you for everything!

This was a beautiful home located in a small residential area with heated private pool. It was only a very short walking distance to the beach, restaurant, lighthouse, and museum.

Always a perfect stay!
This was our third time at Island Bliss and we LOVE it here! Everything is stocked from the kitchen to the bathroom, and we love the setup of the TVs bc it’s easy to relax in the evenings. The landscaping is kept clean and the check in/out is easy.

What a great spot!
My best friend and I loved this house. Rented it specifically for the pool and never wanted to leave. Pool and house were pristine. Highly recommend and will definitely return to this oasis again.

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!

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!

Beautiful and Beachy
We had a great time and this beachy cottage was perfect for us. It has so much character and our 9 and 7 yr old loved the upstairs loft! The walk to the beach is easy and it was awesome to have a pool at the house. We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing
Very clean, quiet area. The house has so much character and charm. Stayed here for memorial day weekend with a group of friends. We enjoyed the ability to go to the beach or spend the day by the pool. Highly recommend!

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.

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!

Weekend Getaway
The place was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. Fun location, we rented bikes and were able to get everywhere on the island in a short amount of time.

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.

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!

Excellent stay!
Very pleased with our stay! The entire house is so clean and organized that we were immediately able to start relaxing. Lots of room for storing clothes out of the way. Our only negative thing was the yard and property seemed a little overgrown in areas even though it was from trees and shrubbery, etc. not weeds. Would be nice to have a little less around the walkways and pool shower area. We will be coming back more because we loved it!!!

Great cottage for families
My family of (4) four stayed here the first week of September. We have (2) two kids, aged 9 & 11. The space was absolutely perfect for our family. The kids loved the sleeping loft and utilized this for down time as well. This allowed my wife and I to enjoy some time either in the pool or just chilling on the porches. The cottage had everything we needed and we never once felt like we were missing anything. It was nice having a half bath that was available for everyone and a private bath in the master suite. Shower pressure was great by the way...which was really important for my wife. One of the best things about the cottage is the location. We loved being right across the street from the park...which has a nice padded walking path. You are 2 blocks from North Beach Grill/Lighthouse/Beach Access. We will be making this a regular booking going forward.

Perfect little beach cottage
We had an enjoyable week in this adorable beach cottage. Everything there that we needed! Close to beach and the pool was small, but perfect for us! The place is very to scale with photos. Not for a large group, but perfect for a small family. Not a lot to do there in Tybee, but we are glad we gave it a try!!

We enjoyed our stay. The pool was perfect. The kitchen was great. Plenty of dishes that we only ran the dishwasher once at night. Speakers inside and out was great for the mood. Wish there was more parking but just down the street were spots we could use.

August 2017 Stay
Island Bliss is now our new favorite rental! Very nicely decorated and comfortable. The pool was great (thanks for having pool floats for us!) and I love that it was a salt water system. We have been regular visitors to Tybee for years and have rented several places through a couple different companies. TVR always provides the best service. The house was VERY CLEAN, and the bed and bath linens were like new. After a busy summer of rentals, that means a lot. I will caution that if you plan to use the loft, it might be tricky. it's pretty small and the highest point is maybe 5 ft and the knee walls are like 2 ft. Went up there to sleep when my hubby was snoring and hit my head a couple of times getting in/out. However the beds are comfy and would be ok for the right age/size kids. Short walk to beach (cut through the back "alley" from 2nd parking spot). Jaycee Park right outside your front door. We highly recommend Island Bliss and TVR! Thanks for being dog-friendly!

July 2017 Stay
cottage is nicely decorated but furniture in living room not very comfortable. enjoyed the pool very much and the location is great. I come here every year, 2 to 3 x a year and try a different house each time.
For the down side: house has German cockroaches! I know palmetto bugs live ouside and will sometimes come in, but German roaches live in house. I was not expecting this for $3000 a week. Also parking areas are a nightmare, luckily I have a small car and could fit in the front driveway space. the back driveway space is terrible. if you park there you have to fold your mirrors in and then there is no space to get out of car. the car doors will hit the fence on either side.

March 2019 Stay @ Island Bliss
This home was spacious, clean, and just as pictured. This was a great location for food around the corner and a walk through the park and beach. Our English Bulldog loves Tybee Island vibes and the Island Bliss Home was perfect for him to relax with his family. We loved our stay and plan to book again.

Perfect, lovely cottage & quiet. First time we stayed at that end of the island. The only negative was the lowest brick step to pool was not user friendly!

September 2018 Stay
We absolutely loved the little house. For two people it really did meet our needs and having a private personal pool was so worth it. The house is on the small side but we personally didn't need a lot of space. Also being just a couple of blocks from the beach was beneficial. We look forward to coming back!

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!

Very cute cottage. The renovation was well done.
We had our girls weekend at this cottage. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the short walk to the beach and hanging out by the pool.
