About this property

Historic raised Tybee cottage, very cool, comfortable and oh so Tybee!

Situated on a quiet residential street just a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping, with all the feel of a lay-back beach house. There is a screened porch along the front and a great deck complete with palm trees in back. Many of the original details are still there, bead board walls, pine floors, even a claw foot tub. The kitchen is updated and very easy to work in. There are two bedrooms, one with a king and a twin and one with a queen. The fenced in backyard makes it an easy house for children or pets. There is off street parking and lots of room for bicycles and beach toys

With the ocean only a short walk away, its a great home to bring your beach toys, kayaks, fishing gear or just relax with a good book. Tybee Island offers many options for great beach fun.

The Lighthouse is a must along with the Ft. Screvens Museum and the Tybee Marine Science Center. The Tybee post Theatre is a good option for an evening of movies or live performances. The library and YMCA as well as the picnic park and playground are just a short walk away. You can go for a beach walk, check out the dolphins or sea turtles, go fishing off the big Atlantic pier or move around the corner to the back river pier. Kayaks, bicycles, golf carts and surf boards are all available for rent or bring your own. Enjoy Yoga on the beach or maybe set up and paint the wonderful scenes.

This is a great small home for an intimate get away for 2 or a friends and family vacation for up to 5. Come enjoy our Palm Trees and Island Breeze Cottage on Tybee!!

Awesome

The place was so awesome, and the owner was so nice and accommodating. While I was there the winter storm moved in, and she offered to let me stay another night at no charge so I would not have to travel with all the ice and snow on the roads!!!! Amazing!!! Highly Recommended!!

Lovely home and very kind host. We had a great time.

Our third time staying in Tybee and our first staying at Bonnie's "Historic raised Tybee cottage". This was our favorite home to stay in on Tybee yet. Plenty of room for all 4 of us humans and 2 dogs to spread out. The screened in porch was perfect for relaxing and the back deck provided all the space for the pups to play. We hope to come back and stay again next season!

Historic Raised Tybee Cottage

My wife, two cats, and I stayed at Bonnie's place on Tybee Island over Thanksgiving week and can't say enough positive things about her home. Spacious, comfortable, and a fully stocked kitchen were the three things that made our trip most enjoyable. Bonnie is a great host...easy to communicate with and ready to offer local dining suggestions or historic info for those so inclined. Note: For those with mobility issues, the staircase to the house and access to the tub/shower could be an issue, but otherwise this home has everything you could want for an extended stay! We'll definitely rent again! Thanks Bonnie for renting to us!

Another great stay at this charming beach cottage

Came back at this lovely cottage for a second year in a row. This place had everything my family needed : very short walk from the beach, everything you would require to cook good meals in the kitchen and a great front porch! Twenty five minutes away from beautiful Savannah. This place has everything : fabulous beach close to a wonderful historical city. Bonnie is akso fantastic host that communicates well and promptly.

Super cool spot, great location

We loved our stay here and the old-timey charm of the property (that kitchen!). Our kids loved all the games at the house. The location was incredible, tucked away yet accessible to everything (including the island's only grocery store!). The only downside is we had to cut out trip a few days short due to a coming hurricane. But we are already trying to figure out how to come back. Bonnie was a gracious and easy to work with host.

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie Scoville

Host profile image
For the past 12 years we have owned and operated a seasonal hotel on Lake Ontario. We sold it recently and retired back home to Savannah. We purchased this home on Tybee Island and would like to share it with others in the same way welcomed and shared our hotel. We hope you will enjoy the Tybee Beach experience in our historic Tybee home.

Why they chose this property

If you like comfortable, laid back beach houses, this is certainly a great one. The house was built in 1935 and still retains its old beach charm

What makes this property unique

We are close to the beach, shopping, dining and more but are situated on a quiet residential street
