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!!

Birthday Getaway

We came to relax for one last weekend before school starts and see my daughter who lives in Svannah a bit more. It was an easy walk to the beach and a comfortable place to just hang out with our favorite people and pets.

Cutest beach house ever

Seriously cutest beach house ever and I have stayed in several all over the place! I came to see my 2 boys that live in Macon Ga from Texas! We only got to stay a couple of days and despite the weather we enjoyed our time sitting on the front porch! Thanks to the hostess for letting us say with their doggies! We will back one day!

Mini vacation

This rental has a great location. It had easy access to everywhere we needed to go, especy the beach with smaller children. They supplied everything needed for a great weekend vacation. No need to pack all that extra stuff. It was a nice place and I would rent it again.

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
