Comfortable beach house 3 blocks from the beach. Beautiful kitchen for preparing meals. Grocery store is a few blocks away. Pillows for beds need upgrading, we did have several roaches in bathrooms and bedrooms. I hear these are common in Georgia. We also found ants on coming into one bathroom. Washer and dryer work great. Overall enjoyable stay.

Weekend Stay

We enjoyed our stay at the Starfish. It is just two blocks from the beach and walking distance to a fantastic taco place. The owners sent all needed information early and communicated all the way through the stay. The house was spacious with enough room for my family of 4. Loved the front porch and the backyard firepit.

We had a great experience. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were very nice, the fire pit was wonderful on a cool evening. We have people with special diets so needed to cook our meals. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed to cook and bake, including a blender and crockpot! All this with a short walk to the beach.

This was such a cute place to stay if you want an authentic beach cottage. It was very clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen and for the bedrooms. Only a couple blocks from the beach and a short drive (25mins) to Savannah. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute last minute find!

Cute last minute find!

This was a cute cottage and last minute booking for us and the family. We were thrilled that it offered a fenced in back yard as we were traveling with our dogs. The beach theme was super cute. However it felt a little more dated than the pictures showed. That did not stop us from enjoying the cottage and Tybee Island as a whole. The response time from the management company was very fast whenever I had questions. We would stay here again!

Quaint Family Property

Quaint Family Property

Lots of space and room for everyone, strong internet, amazing porch sitting & swinging! However the place could really use a deep cleaning. The porch was filthy and the kitchen can use a major update 7 deep clean, it smelled like a house built in the 70's. Don't get me wrong we had a blast but probably wouldn't stay again.

Just what the doctor ordered....

3 moms, 4 boys (10,13,13,13), 2 nights and it was the ideal getaway!! The house was perfect - not to mention it’s so damn cute you’ll want to redecorate your own when you get home. Great location - easily walkable for food and ice cream but golf cart rentals made getting to the beach much easier (and, well, they’re just fun)!! Needless to say, we had a fantastic time!

We booked this property for a few days for a quick getaway with friends and it is wonderful! The island is beautiful and has a fantastic vintage feel, and this house fits right in!

What a gem! We loved the comfort and convenience of this charming house. We walked to the beach every day (beach is beautiful and quiet), cooked and grilled and sat on the porch and rode bikes around the neighborhood. Kids had a blast sharing bunk beds and we all loved the quiet and beauty of the neighborhood. Day trips to Savannah and the nearby fort were lovely.

The sun rising over Tybee Island is spectacular! The Tybee Vacation Rentals team was awesome to work with. They were very friendly and efficient with our booking efforts. Pre-stay communications were well timed and thorough. There were no issues during our stay but had there been, I’m confident they would have handled whatever it was quickly and with exceptional service. The only part I didn’t like was the reminder regarding the check out procedures and that was only because I didn’t want to be reminded that we were going to have to leave! Great work everyone!

Wish UPon a starfish is just AMAZING! This cottage is a stunning mix of old Tybee with new awesome updates! The beachy decor and cool color palettes create such a fun living space. Surprisingly ...so many beds and with sofa beds upstairs and downstairs the place is great for muliple generational family get togethers. BEACH is super close too! Make sure to sit on the front porch and enjoy your cocktails as walkers,runners, and bikers stroll down a beautiful quiet street! Best street on Tybee!

Very in need of cleaning and sanitizing. The smell of the place was awful

The smell of the old wood and the smell of the old fireplace and chimney overwhelmed you. We tried to move stuff to Cover up the old fireplace but the old musty smell about us all sick. We tried opening doors to air but no good. Very in need of deodorizing. We would not recommend this place at all!

Comfortable Stay at Tybee

Comfortable Stay at Tybee

Property was clean and had a great feel to it. Wifi worked great. AC kept it nice and cool. Large TV with cable, on demand, and internet access for streaming. Hose downstairs for washing off from the beach. Centrally located on the island and in a nice neighborhood . It was about a five minute walk to the beach. Be aware the lower level rents too. Easy check in and check out. Nice size fridge, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Also has a nice outdoor dining area on back porch. Two small suggestions - Kitchen sink could use a disposal, and the shower on the south side could use some blurred glass. The window in the shower faces directly to neighbor's screened porch. I would recommend this property to a friend. Thanks!
