Perfectly appointed and adorable bungalow. Side yard with patio, grill and separate laundry/bathroom-house added to the space. Wonderful kitchen area. The owners thought of everything to make this place perfect for a week at the beach!

Precious old house with private yard. Perfect for our little family to unwind for a week. We will seek out this property for a future visit.

This home is very old and outdated, was not clean at all upon arrival. Bad smell the whole time. It's dark and closed floor plan with unfinished concrete floors. Mosquitos were flying around in the home the whole trip. We got eaten alive even though we made sure to close the doors quickly.
5.0 / 5.0
This is an amazingly comfortable house with a fantastic kitchen! This allowed us to easily cook a meal or two & make use of the grill & back patio.
We were pleasantly surprised by some of the unexpected extras- beach chairs, body boards, and cooler for a day trip to the beach at Tybee!
The location near Forsyth Park was nice for morning & evening walks. Easily walkable to dining, shopping, & church. We’ll be back!

Cute historical home. It was comfortable, clean and just the right size for 2 to 4. It is located at a wonderful spot to access the beach, AJ's for a sunset and fresh seafood and the shops and pier.

Most favorite vacation home ever!
Everything about this house is super cute- so clean, vintage style, all in family, including teenagers, absolutely loved their stay here.
The “shed” holds the washer/dryer and also has a toilet and shower that my husband used. It was so handy having that extra space.
Small yard and patio perfect for playing games and eating/grilling outside.
Location was perfect for walking to beach and restaurants. Nice, quiet street.
Will definitely stay here again :)

Vacation in Tybee
The house is really old but very clean. The beds were comfortable with nice tvs to watch. There is missing curtains and neighbors can see in the house. You cannot turn the ac lower than 70 so running the fans is a must. The sink and shower back up in use so you need to use each quickly. It was nice to have a shower outside and plenty of towels, so everyone could rinse off before entering the house. I loved that we were walking distance to the beach and to town. This is a true beach house. We would rent it again

Location, location, location!
Walking distance to the beach and off street parking! A vintage cottage with tons of charm and very comfortable surroundings. Well stocked kitchen and lovely outdoor space.

Rustic Beauty!
I absolutely loved this place. I will be honest, it is not going to be for everyone. It is updated, but an old cottage. So if you're used to the Marriott or something like that, it may not be your cup of tea. But the charm is exactly what I loved about it. It reminded me of my grandmother and great-aunt's home with the hardwood floors and old school metal door knobs. It is clean and cozy and the kids loved the bunk beds. The location is awesome. It's 1 1/2 blocks from 3 separate boardwalks. One to the Atlantic, one where the Atlantic meets the inlet and one on the inlet. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance. We would definitely stay again!

This cottage was adorable and sooo close to the beach. The powder room separate of the inside bathroom and the outside shower and bathroom made it easy for 6 of us to stay a whole week.
