Cozy Tybee Cottage in Quiet Neighborhood - Walking Distance to the Beach

Tybee Island Sunrise

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Discover the quaint coastal charm of Tybee Island from this cottage, a vintage home welcoming guests with a screened-in porch, a shaded backyard, free WiFi, and a great location with easy walking access to all of the island's best attractions.

Walk just a half-mile to North Beach and, on your way, sightsee at historic Fort Screven or the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum. But you'll also be just two miles north of shops and eateries along Tybrisa Street. If you have a larger group, consider renting both this house and the back cottage, Tybee Island Sunset, which has one bedroom, one full bathroom, and space for as many as two people.

Built in 1900, this beautifully preserved home is full of coastal colors, folksy furnishings, and artistic decor. Walk up a few stairs and through a front porch to view its single floor layout with a spacious living area, a full kitchen, three bedrooms, and a back porch. Spend some time in the gentle breeze from the overhead fan in the living area, or flip on the 60-inch flatscreen TV for DVD and cable entertainment.

Peer out over the neighborhood from a sofa and Adirondack chairs on the front porch, or head out back to sip sweet tea in the shade of Live Oak trees. You'll certainly love the backyard options, which include two tables for al fresco dining (one even with an umbrella), plus tropical landscaping and a screened-in porch attached to the house that overlooks it all.

Feeling hungry? Whip up a homemade meal back inside in the well-equipped kitchen. It features all that you'll need for whipping up fresh feasts while you're here, and there's even group seating at tables by the kitchen, on the back porch, and in the backyard.

Afterward, toss your dishes in the dishwasher, your clothes in the washer/dryer, and head to bed. Up to six guests are accommodated on queen beds in two bedrooms and twin beds in a third bedroom. Additional bedroom amenities include ceiling fans, reading lamps, and large picture windows with privacy curtains.

Whether you're looking for fun in town or relaxation on the beach, you'll find it all on Tybee Island. Reserve your spot on a fishing charter, or schedule surfing lessons on the beach. You could also explore the marshlands of the Wassaw National Wildlife Refuge by kayak, or head into Savannah (17 miles west) to sample the city scene.

Escape to one of Georgia's premier vacation destinations - book your stay at this quaint cottage today!

The place is so cute and well-kept. It is an older home so you have to be careful with the doors and such. The water pressure could be better. Otherwise, lovely experience here.

Easy check in. The bedroom in the middle did have a significant leak over the bed. The water pressure needs improvement. Spacious and clean. Electrical could use some upgrades.

I love this house. The decor is so cozy, the beds are SUPER comfortable. Conveniently located, love the neighborhood. Close to the park and the beach! Loved the foliage on the property and the front porch is perfect for sipping morning coffee.

Cozy Tybee Stay

This was a cozy cottage to stay a long weekend in Tybee. It was a great location. It could have maybe used more cleaning (we have a 10 month old and he was covered in dirt and dust from crawling around the house). The bathroom looked updated and the beds were pretty cozy. We did a load of laundry before leaving so that was helpful. We couldn't figure out the old-fashioned lock at first!

Cute Little Place

Liked the place! The porch was the best. Very clean and had all of the essentials. We got locked out when we left for dinner because the bottom and top locks on the front door didn’t match, but the team helped us to get a locksmith out to resolve the problem for us and future people who stay there.

Quiet cottage

This is a small, quiet place in a neighborhood. We enjoyed the area. Nice place to walk. Its a short distance to the beach but parking is hard to find. I would have rated it higher but two things: mattreses were terrible. My back is really hurting. There is parking for two but it is tight. Water pressure is not great. We did enjoy the way the cottage was decorated.

We love the quaint charming feel of the home. It was on a very quiet street, but parking was a little tight. It was very clean, but there was no coffee pot with the coffee maker, no extra toilet paper, no dish cloths, and no extra blankets. We enjoyed the evenings out on the front porch with our family.

Perfect little bungalow

This place is so cutely decorated and very clean. Beds are very comfy. Nice location out of the way of the main traffic but still close to anything you want to see and do. I travel to Tybee several times a year to fish the river and Tybee creek. I have stayed at several different hotels and condos. This was my first time at the Sunrise. I will always book my trips around open dates here and stay nowhere else from now on. The neighborhood made me feel like a local. lol. The driveway was perfect for my truck and 17’ mako.

Very Clean

This house was very clean. The beds were super comfortable. The only negatives were there was very little water pressure and the house is so old that the doors didn’t shut all the way. You just have to wedge them enough so they don’t open. The screen was also ripped and open on the screened in front porch, so we did not sit out there as bugs are still getting in. Other than that, we had a great stay. We did not think the house was close enough to walk to the beach so we drove. It would be a 10-15 minute walk and there are no sidewalks with very skinny roads. I would not have felt safe walking to the beach. Cute little house though!

Hi Stacy. Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are glad to hear the house was very clean and that the beds were comfortable for your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the water pressure, the doors, and the screen on the front porch. These are things we will definitely look into and work on improving. Thank you also for the note about beach access and the walkability of the area. We are happy you still enjoyed your time at the house and hope to welcome you back in the future.

Quaint Cottage in Quiet Neighborhood

A quaint early-20th-century cottage with a lot of character, including squeaky doors, hardwood floors, lots of huge windows, peeling paint, comfy beds and a great porch. The place was well-stocked and our stay was pleasant. The only minor issues we had were a stopped-up bathroom sink and a set of 5 (yes 5) can openers in the well-appointed kitchen, not one of which could actually open a can, and some bath linens that were probably a little past their retirement age. Also, the $150 property-management fee (which was over-and-above the rental fee) seemed quite excessive. The final verdict? I'd probably stay here again.

Let down!

Arrived and couldn’t get in, code we were sent was a 10 digit e-lock but this house had a 4 digit combi lock. No help from vacasa, didn’t answer either number or reply to our message. We eventually managed to open the back door with a stick but the whole time we were there they never sorted it, so we didn’t have keys - we couldn’t leave anything safely in the house. Inside it had some shabby charm, but needs a massive deep clean and general fix up/ decorate. Well on the way to just shabby… Not everything worked. Some things (like the complimentary laundry tabs) were empty. The washing machine was full of black rot. Cockroaches kept appearing in the bathroom at night and one of the bedrooms, which was revolting. Sheets and towels were clean though, appreciated the aircon and the beds were good. Tybee was nice and the location near the lighthouse was helpful. If we hadn’t been able to basically break in, vacasa would have left us homeless after a very long drive, and they still haven’t done anything about our complaint. Avoid…
