This vintage-era Tybee cottage welcomes you home with two bedrooms, plus a bonus room for kids, a fenced yard, and a cute outdoor patio with twinkle lights to set the mood for a good time on Tybee. Located just a block and a half from the famous South end main beach and an easy walk to restaurants, shopping, and nightlife, this sweet little home will be a perfect fit for a fun beach getaway with family or friends.

Step up into this cozy cottage that has a front sun-room that is bright and inviting and includes a sleeper sofa and a flat-screen TV.

The detached utility room includes a full-size washer and a dryer and an additional bathroom with a walk-in shower - perfect for rinsing off after a long day at the beach.

Bring your bikes or rent some while you are here; it is the best way to see the island! This home is ideally located between 18th Street beach access and back river beach access at Inlet Avenue, which is a perfect place to stroll the shoreline at sunset, searching for the ideal whelk.

Precious old house with private yard. Perfect for our little family to unwind for a week. We will seek out this property for a future visit.

A little too "rustic" for the price
This home is very old and outdated, was not clean at all upon arrival. Bad smell the whole time. It's dark and closed floor plan with unfinished concrete floors. Mosquitos were flying around in the home the whole trip. We got eaten alive even though we made sure to close the doors quickly.

Great surprise! Loved the ‘extras’!
This is an amazingly comfortable house with a fantastic kitchen! This allowed us to easily cook a meal or two & make use of the grill & back patio. We were pleasantly surprised by some of the unexpected extras- beach chairs, body boards, and cooler for a day trip to the beach at Tybee! The location near Forsyth Park was nice for morning & evening walks. Easily walkable to dining, shopping, & church. We’ll be back!

Excellent location, comfy stay for 2 -4
Cute historical home. It was comfortable, clean and just the right size for 2 to 4. It is located at a wonderful spot to access the beach, AJ's for a sunset and fresh seafood and the shops and pier.
