Beautiful home with wonderful hospitality

The home is beautiful and spacious with so many wonderful shaded porches. It’s a short walk to the beach and the pool and hot tub were very much appreciated, and not as common on Tybee. Marsha hosts with care and intention and was easy to reach and gave great suggestions for our time on Tybee!

This house lives up to the description and pictures. By far one of the nicest of any we stayed in before. Very tidy and well equipped with everything you need for a fun beach trip. The beds were very comfortable. Many great seating areas outside to enjoy your time. Great location with restaurants, stores and and shops close by. Marsha is a great host and very responsive. She really cares about her home and guest. We had a great stay! We will definitely be looking to stay the next time I come to Tybee.

Great House and Location

Marsha was a great host who has a beautiful home. Lots of bedrooms, seating and outside decks. The home was the best well stocked kitchen and pool and beach items we have seen in a VRBO. The home is beautifully coastal decorated, with comfortable beds. Lots of room for privacy for our large adult family. We also had a young toddler and the home is stocked with everything a toddler needs which saved us a lot of extra baggage. Pool as great and location is perfect. Would definitely stay there again.

Great house, location and wonderful host!

Stayed here for a girls’ weekend. The house was perfect for us. Clean, had all the amenities you could want, nice pool and large hot tub. It was only a block from the shops and restaurants and a few blocks from the beach. Loved all the porches too. And I can’t say enough about the hostess! She was super attentive and accommodating. Wish I could give her more than 5 stars. Look forward to going back.

Very walkable to the beach, shops, restaurants, and bars. The pool was a great size for our 3 rowdy kids. We have rented lots of vacation homes over the last 20 years and this house was the best equipped I have seen. Everything you need for the beach (chairs, wagons, toys, umbrellas), pool (floats, big towels), and the kitchen! Highly recommend.

Great Experience!

Marsha was a phenomenal host. She communicated regularly and thoroughly and was always quick to respond when needed. Marsha’s home was very nice and provided our large family group with the space we needed. The house is easily walkable to the beach and many locations on Butler and Tybrisa. The pool and hot tub were added bonuses and made for some great early mornings and evenings. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience!

Hendrix Family , WI

Tybee Joy has really been a joy to stay at. We had 19 of us in our group that came down from Wisconsin to visit family and enjoy the beautiful island. The pool was awesome but tiny. It kept us cool on those hot days. I think the best thing about the place was the location. You could walk almost to everything that there was to do and see on the island. We all didn't have to get in our cars everyday and our big group could go do their own thing. Awesome! Marsha too came to the rescue when the central air had a water leak. She and the handyman came ASAP and fixed the problem. We had a wonderful vacation . Thank you Marsha .

The location is fantastic!

This was the perfect home for our family of 10! Ages 74-15. Plenty of room, comfy beds, nice decks, pool area to chill at. The owner Marsha was so easy to reach! We had a few minor issues that were resolved immediately!! Nothing major. The house was well stocked with anything you could need. Plenty of beach chairs, 3 umbrellas, volleyballs, floats, 3 beach wagons. Plenty of bath towels, kitchen items. This house had it all! The location was the best part! Can walk to the most popular spots. We did have 2 golf karts which I'd recommended so you can visit the entire island and with karts you avoid the crazy parking fees. Thank you Marsha for the lovely home:)

Location! Location! Location!

This is the most gorgeous home I have ever stayed in! We were literally steps away from all the bars and restaurants on the main strip which we loved! The beach is RIGHT THERE! This house is the perfect location if you truly want to experience Tybee Island. Pros: I loved the master shower with the skylight above. The serene balconies overlooking Tybee. The hot tub is so relaxing! The mini bar area was fun to use to make drinks in. The sheets were such great quality and comfort. We enjoyed the Barbaque and appreciated that the house was fully stocked with every day essentials. I had my toy poodle with us and the house is very pet friendly! Cons: NONE! I highly recommend staying here, you really can tell that the owner takes great pride in taking care of her home. I hope we get a chance to stay again!! Thanks again!

Excellent house, walking distance to beach and restaurants on lovely Tybee Island

From start to finish our experience with Marsha and this property were amazing. Marsha, the owner, was incredibly responsive and kind from our first to our last communication - you can tell from the start the pride she takes in her rental property and in ensuring guests have a great stay. The house is great for large family or friend gatherings with plenty of space for everyone - including multiple sets of bunk beds (which the kids loved). The decor was perfect - welcoming and comfortable, with all the amenities you need for a week at the beach (fully stocked kitchen, bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner and soap, towels, etc.) In addition, had everything we needed for the beach - towels, toys, wagons, umbrella, etc. Location was FABULOUS - 5 minute walk to the beach and pier and less to multiple restaurants, bars, ice cream, shops, etc. and in off-season still only an 8 minute drive to the other side of the island which had many great restaurant options as well. If you’ve never been to Tybee - would highly recommend. Offers so much to do (a little something for everyone) both history and the beach. I’d happily go back and rent with Marsha again!

Wonderful memories made.

We had a large group - 8 adults and 9 kids (6weeks to 8 years old). The home was so comfortable, clean and cozy. We never felt like we were on top of one another. We used the pool and hot tub almost daily. It was a relief not to worry about the kids getting to the pool area alone. We ate the majority of our meals at the house and it had everything we needed and more. Loved the deck off of the family room for our dinners after the kids were sleeping. We rented bikes and rode those all over. The location is perfect. Beach and cute downtown were only a block or 2. Easy to walk back for naptime. Marsha was there to meet us and show us the property and how everything works. She responded immediately to any emails or texts. We had to call just once for a small issue during our stay. Her husband came over right away and did the repair. We would definitely recommend this to our family and friends.

Clean, comfortable house with lots of nice touches

I stayed there with a large group of 20 (10 adults and 10 children) at the end of June 2018. When we arrived we were given a tour by the owner, who had also left helpful notes around the house. She was very kind and accommodating. We filled every last space in that house with people, and had to shuffle people among bedrooms more than once, but ultimately everything worked. We found the house and kitchen pretty well-stocked, the garage was full of beach toys, and we really liked the pool (we never got around to using the jacuzzi). The house is close enough to the beach so that you can go in the morning, return home for lunch, and resume lazing around in the sand in the afternoon. The beds were soft and comfortable, there were plenty of towels, the washer and drier worked well (with so many beach-goers, we had them running a few times every day). We ran into a tiny snag when the grill started flaring up, but the homeowner came over and fixed it right away. Overall - a fine place, run by responsive and responsible people.

Met All Our Needs

We selected this home for our family beach week because it had an elevator to accommodate our oldest member, and it had the right number of bedrooms/beds and baths for our large family, ages 5-81. It was beautifully decorated, with a large kitchen/living area perfect for preparing meals and playing group games. The kitchen was well-equipped, with a variety of seating for dining. The large bookshelves were filled with an assortment of interesting books for young and old, as well as board games. Several "nooks" and porches provided quiet spots for reading or good conversations. The house was well-supplied with cleaning products, towels and tissues, as well as body washes and lotions. It also provided toys and beach carts for our use. There were few problems, but Marsha Marks, the owner, was amazingly prompt in providing a solution that enabled the fun to continue. The home is located at the south end of the island, near the pier and very close to Pier 16 and Sting Ray's restaurants. It is also close to a public entrance and condos and hotels, making it a little more crowded than houses near the middle of the island. In all, it was a delightful house, very comfortable, with good beds and lovely furnishings. We highly recommend it!

Superb location

The location couldn't be better! Within 5 minutes, we could easily walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops, and the local grocery store is a 2 minute drive down the road. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need, and for our group of 13 who cooked many meals there, we appreciated that! The pool is hard to see in the listing photos, and smaller than we expected when we saw in person but was serviced during our stay, which was nice. Something to thing to keep in mind is there is no frig or bathroom on the ground level. The closest bathrooms are on the 2nd floor and all within bedrooms- so if you are swimming and need to use bathroom, the closest is a floor up and within one of the bedrooms. To access the kitchen/frig is 2 floors up from pool. We found ourselves keeping water in a cooler at the pool to avoid going drying off and going up and down the stairs for drinks so often. Marsha was by far, the BEST host I have ever worked with in dozens of vacation rentals we've booked with over the years! So responsive and made the whole process so easy- many thanks to Marsha!

About the host

Hosted by Marsha Marks

Host profile image
Owner of Tybee Island Joy vacation rental, Marsha Marks, is an author of several books, and has been happily married since 1987 to the man of her dreams, Tom. They have one daughter, Mandy . They only own one vacation rental and take great pride in maintaining it and in the hundreds of 5 star reviews.

Why they chose this property

Tom and I met on the West Coast and always wanted a home near the beach, but were unable to pay LA prices. And hated LA traffic. When Tom took a job here in Savannah, we discovered Tybee Island and realized it was just 19 minutes from Downtown Savannah, and we loved the laid back Artsy, non-resort kind of feel. So, we looked for three years for the perfect piece of property - well, the perfect piece in our price range and in the location we wanted. We finally ended up buying a woman's back yard. We had the yard divided into a legal lot. And on that we built the dream: Tybee Island Joy
We are cllose to the shops, yet away from the crowds. Within walking distance to all the eating places, and especially close to The Breakfast Club! This lot, seemed to have it all, Location, Location, Location, plus, it was the only lot we could find that didn't look into someone elses house - our lot looks onto a 60 foot tall live Oak tree. And OK, I confess, it was the only lot for sale on the whole darn street. So we bought it.

What makes this property unique

The large spacious upstairs. The pool. The double convection ovens. The Master Suite that has three seperate sections and a private deck. The six burner cooktop with the pop up vent. The loft feel with tons of windows and natural light. The THREE large decks - two off each floor. The Air conditioned and insulated sleeping porch, that feels like a treehouse - on the top deck! Location, Location, Location.
