Always a great time on south island of Tybee! and short drive to Savannah!
Our two story condo is situated close to the end of Butler Avenue and is located in a quieter and more family-friendly area that offers easy beach access with no roads to cross. We think our location makes our home one of the best places to stay while you’re on the island. Within two or three minutes of stepping out the front door, you can be dipping your toes in the ocean, exploring the marsh side of the island or fishing from the back river pier. A five minute walk will take you to the shops in “downtown” Tybee, the Pier or one of a number of bars and restaurants located on the beach front and Tybrisa.
The home itself has 2 floors and is only accessible via stairs at the moment. It can comfortably sleep 8-10 and is laid out as follows: On the first floor, there are 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms along with a modern kitchen and dining area. • Bedroom 1 has a Queen bed with HD flat screen TV & a private bathroom. • Bedroom 2 is a great room for kids and has 2 twin beds and its own HD flat screen TV • Bedroom 3 is off the living room with a very comfortable queen size bed. The first floor also has a wrap-around porch that’s a perfect place to sit at the end of a long day at the beach, as well as a comfortable sofa and loveseat to watch TV.
The loft suite is located on the second floor and offers 2 queen beds, a full bath, a washer and dryer and also provides access to two decks with a fantastic view of the back river. Definitely the perfect place for a quiet escape!
Our property is a two story condo. Our unit provides covered parking for 2 cars with room for an additional 1-2 vehicles. Complementary WiFi is also available.
Please note: You must be at least 25 years of age to rent.
Also, unlike many other properties, we offer flexible bookings – whether you’re looking for just a couple of nights, a weekend getaway, a 7 day vacation or sometime longer, we can accommodate your needs. Make your reservation today and come experience all that Tybee has to offer!

The condo was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The host responded very quickly when we had a question about the kitchen items prior to arrival. It is a perfect location quite near the beach. There was ample parking.
We were a family of 10. Here in Tybee for a wedding. Great place to stay. We walked everywhere. The beach. Restaurants. Quaint little bars. Would definitely stay there again!!Host very responsive and accommodating. Definitely 5 stars.
We love this condo for its easy beach access, location near restaurants and the center of Tybee, and even more so, its walkability. This is the second year that we have stayed as a family at the condo and we look forward to booking it year after year!
The location was fantastic and within walking distance to the beach and great restaurants. Parking on site is a real plus. The property is family-friendly. Owner was great at communicating.The only drawback was the building elevator was out of commission, so we had to carry everything up and down several flights of stairs.Thankfully, we had a few good knees and backs in our group! We had five adults and one infant, and it was the layout worked out well!
The unit was very clean and the location was just a few blocks away from the beach and other attractions. The unit had comfortable beds and enough bathrooms for my family. The only concern that we could had possibly had was if we had someone with us that could not traverse stairs well we would have had an issue due to the elevator being out of order. The property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had.

So glad y'all enjoyed your stay! Thank you for you wonderful review and we look forward to having you back to Pelican's Retreat!
All good but elevator was not in working order and it was pretty difficult to get up three flights of stairs with all the luggage and food, especially at an advanced age.
property was clean and kept current
had everything you need for short walking distance to beech and shopping, restaurants, bars etc.
it was a home away from home with everything one needs to have a real nice vacation

Thank you kindly for your review!! You sweet ladies come back and stay with at Pelican’s Retreat anytime! Glad your trip was wonderful and y’all had a great time!!❤️
We were very pleased with everything and plan to stay here again in the future. The only suggestion I have is to either replace or clean the couch and loveseat. There were a lot of stains on the seats which made us not want to sit on them. Everything else was wonderful!
Property was great for 6 gals. Everyone had their own bed. The weather didn’t cooperate with out trip so we had a lot of time to sit on the porch and catch up. Walking distance to beach and beach front dining.
We did rent a golf cart so that we could go to some places on the north end.
Excellent place to stay for Tybee Island vacation!
This property was exactly what we were looking for. The proximity to the beach is so convenient - just a short couple of minute walk and don't have to worry about figuring out where to park. The beach was great for kids and there are restaurants close by as well. We also enjoyed taking a boat ride to see dolphins and explore the island. The condo had several helpful conveniences like trash bags, paper towels, etc., cooking utensils and dishes, which was an added bonus.

We had a fabulous stay!
We loved our stay here! We booked the property for my 30th birthday and had a total of 10 people staying and everyone has a comfortable place to sleep and there was more than enough room! Everything was clean and we had everything we needed! Beautiful wrap around porch and only 1 block walking distance to the beach! The owners were very flexible and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again!

Cute condo close to the beach
First off, the owners are fantastic and very accommodating. The condo was clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. The location is perfect in that the beach, shops and restaurants are all a very short walk. Pirate festival was right around the corner. Would definitely recommend to anyone planning a trip to Tybee. There was lots of room for all and the balconies were great for relaxing!

Amazing Property
This property was beautiful. I was impressed that the pictures we seen online were exactly what the property looked like when we got there. Everything was perfect. Our girls were almost more excited about having their own rooms than all the other activities that they planned. THANK YOU for a wonderful experience.

Hi Julie!
Thank you for your kind words! Very much appreciated! It is wonderful to hear your trip to Savannah was perfect. You were our first reservation when we purchased Pelican's Retreat a year ago. Of course it warms our hearts to know you and the troop's time at Pelican's Retreat was everything you had expected it to be and more. Please think of us again if you make a trip to the Savannah area again! We wish you a wonderful rest of your summer!
Our stay was for a Bach trip. We had an amazing time. Great location and communication, but we did find 3 roaches. The host said the house was due to be sprayed. Overall, the place could use some TCL. Missing some hangers, the deadbolt lock, and the couches had stains. The walls had many marks and tape on them. It just wasn’t the cleanest. The host did let us have a late checkout for the day. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay if you can over look some of the other stuff.

About the host
Hosted by Alan Everard
We moved to Savannah in 2013 and fell in love with the area and decided to call Georgia our home. Our home is about an hour away from Tybee Island, and we love going to the beach when ever we can and especially on the hot Georgia sunny days! Tybee Island, of course is one of our favorite places to head too!
Why they chose this property
It is just steps to the beach, and located in a bit of a quieter area. We chose to invest in this particular property because of the location, and the fact that there are only four total units in the building. It also has a elevator, and undercover parking. The inside of the condo is larger than most we looked at and that is a nice for accommodating larger groups when vacationing. This unit is a upper unit so it has a second floor to it, which really makes it spacious for travelers to spread out. The bonus was the three baths, which again is great for larger groups and really makes it nice for when everyone is trying to get ready for those fun-filled days while on vacation!
What makes this property unique
There is a wonderful balcony that is good size for relaxing and catching up after a long day at the beach! Plenty of room for all to be hanging out. There are two balconies on the upper level as well that are wonderful to catch a ocean breeze. Even though this property sits on the back side of the ocean views, there are some peekaboo views of the ocean from those upper balconies.
