About this property

2nd house from the beach- water views, porches, beach access, walk to downtown!

This lovely single family home is just a few small steps away from the beach at Tybee Island's Back River and is a wonderful place to relax with family and friends! Enjoy sea breezes and views of the water, Little Tybee Island, and beautiful sunsets from spacious wraparound porches! Tucked away from crowds in a quiet residential neighborhood, the cottage is only a short stroll from the larger oceanfront beach, restaurants, shops, and the parade route. The house is very bright and open, with cheerful colors, an abundance of windows, and pretty views of the water. Sliding glass doors in every single room, except the dining room, lead to 10' deep wraparound porches. With over 1,300 square feet of outdoor living space, there are multiple sitting and dining areas available on the porches, including a coveted top floor hammock! The best place to clean up after a long day of fun in the sun is in the outdoor shower, which has hot and cold water and is conveniently located next to the gate to the beach.
The fishing pier can be a little busy on weekends during peak season, but privacy fences and mature trees, including a beautiful old oak in the front yard, help make the house feel secluded. As one guest put it, it's almost like you are in a large tree house with water views!

Beautiful place, setting, and owner helpful

From the outset of booking, the owner was very communicative and friendly. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a lovely welcome bag and the home was perfect for our getaway! Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes, etc. (not always the case). Cozy and comfortable place with main room airy, open, and well-lit with natural light. Location to the beach/river bend was a bonus. Highly recommend this place and hope to visit again!

Great Home

The home was beautiful! We really enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces. We had a small family reunion, and the house suited our needs perfectly. We loved the location of the property, as it was very close to the beach and downtown area. It’s very walkable. We loved our trip, and Susan was fabulous!

Great Family Getaway

Lovely home, beautifully decorated.

The house was perfect for our multi-generational family. The kitchen was exceptionally functional for a large group, as were the porches and living area. The walk over to the beach was a little longer than we expected, but is a nice one along the river. The owner was great to work with and made the visit easy. We were taken the beauty of decor and comfort of the bedrooms--indeed the whole house.

Never before

The night I booked the property was actually night before arrival . Short term def but got lucky and was vacant . I received a phone call within the hour after and it was the owner! She was friendly and sweet and I had never before had an owner or anything like that contact me personally ! That was just icing on cake texted when I needed and was very helpful and I just wanna express my gratitude for her ! I’ll be going back to this place soon.

Perfect Getaway on Tybee!

We loved our stay on Tybee Island! This was our first trip to Tybee and I'm sure it won't be our last. The house was perfect for our family. I always look for the "4 C's" when going on beach vacations...Clean, Comfortable, Cool, and Close. This spot had all of those. Steps to the creek-side beach and an 8-10 minute walk from the ocean-side beach...less than 10 to the main area with shops and restaurants and such. The house itself was the perfect beach-style house. Lots of light with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Plus, there was almost as much room outside on the porches as there was on the inside. We ended up using the dining room table for a puzzle and eating outside on the porch for dinners and inside at the kitchen bar and breakfast table for other meals. Communication with the owner was fantastic (we had no concerns during our stay, but she checked in anyway and I'm sure would have been right on top of any issues we might have had). Really, just a beautiful house at a beautiful beach!

Not sure it was worth the price

While we had an overall enjoyable stay, there were a few pro's and a few con's - similar to other reviewers Pro's: steps to the beach, spacious enough for 7 adults and 2 kids, well stocked kitchen, ample parking, good AC, washer/dryer to do towels, loads of beach towels. Con's: exterior showing the wear of beach location, patio area needs cleaning and sprucing up, carpets dirty, mattresses and pillows well used, no toiletries provided (I checked the rental agreement and while it does not list mini-toiletries, it does not exclude them explicitly either). I was quite disappointed with the 3 rolls of toilet paper and 1 extra roll of paper towels. We also nearly ran out of garbage bags. For the price, I would expect a little more paper products and mini toiletries. We use VRBO often for beach and ski rentals and I cannot remember a time when there wasn't at least a set of hotel size soap and shampoo. It's something small that would have gone a long way with our family. The tall and short of it all is that while we had a nice time and enjoyed how close to the beach we were - I'm just not sure it is worth the high price tag. We found the beds to be wanting in the comfort department, and the overall upkeep of the property to be disappointing (carpets, exterior paint, exterior patio wall cleanliness) for the price.

Gorgeous property! The variety of outdoor seating couldn’t have been better plus just a few steps over to the beach and just a few blocks over from shopping, food and fun as well! This home is perfectly stocked with more than enough needed items to stay in and cook, make some fun family memories together with games or a day at the beach. We very much enjoyed our stay and all it’s amenities!

Wonderful location and beautiful home

The house was perfect. The easy walk to the beach made it perfect for our littles. The house is well stocked with kitchen items, beach chairs, towels, toys, books, games, etc. The porches made for lots of time sitting outside enjoying the sounds of the ocean.

Would stay here again!

Our first trip to Tybee Island and we absolutely loved this house! The only recommendation I’d make is to add a small keurig coffee maker for the convenience of coffee. I personally cannot have caffeine but enjoy my decaf while the rest of my family drinks regular so most mornings I did not have coffee while on vacation because it’s not worth making a whole pot! The outside shower was very nice my son used it everyday to shower after the beach and we used it to rinse off!

Interesting Stay

Our annual girls weekend was one to remember. We were hit with outerbands of Hurricane Helene and lost power for a day and a half. Susan was in touch the whole time checking on us and providing water, flashlight and chilled wine. We were very fortunate to have minial impact and wre able to enjoy the rest of the beautiful weekend. The house was described. We loved the various outdoor seating areas, the living room with plenty of seating for the 9 of us and the proximity to the beach.

Relaxing

We visited Tybee while my daughters was at SCAD summer program. We enjoyed time with my husband's two brothers, wives and teenage children. We all truly relaxed and enjoyed the home, beach and biking. The location is spectacular!! and the home is beautiful and welcoming!! We cooked, had family dinners and enjoyed family games. Lasting memories were made. We are planning our next get a way to Tybee with hopes that the Anna Mia Cottage is available.

Tybee Vacation House

This was a very nice property and a close walk to the beach. The home is beautiful, with large rooms and plenty of space. The home was fully stocked with plates, cups, silverware, pans, etc. There were also beach chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, and other items we were able to use. The host stayed in communication and contacted us prior to arrival. The only thing to keep in mind is we learned you cannot have people park on the grass or unpaved driveway (we had family staying elsewhere park their for going to the beach). Nor are you allowed to have many guests over. The host did communicate about these items with us and was easy to talk with. I would recommend staying here.

We came in for our son and his wife's baby shower in Savanah. It was a perfect get away for my wife and I, her 2 sisters and brother, his wife and our other son. Quite an eclectic group. We had plenty of space to be together or apart. We played ping pong, walked the beach, grilled burgers, at at the Wylde and did a puzzle (Thanks Susan). We will be back.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Wylly

Host profile image
It is always refreshing to drive the Tybee road toward our home. It's even more beautiful when we are able to make the commute by boat!

Why they chose this property

I feel this particular location on the island is the best... Somewhat undiscovered part of the beach in a residential neighborhood, with commercial activity close enough to walk to (by beach or road). And it is a very convenient spot to nose your boat up to the beach, have friends hop aboard and take off to explore the surrounding waterways and nearby uninhabited islands.

What makes this property unique

A few unique benefits: walking out of the door and being on the beach in a few short steps, relaxing in a chair on the sand or strolling around the front beach to see the action, kayaking across the river to Little Tybee Island (a paradise in itself!), capturing the beautiful sunsets, being close enough to restaurants and shopping but far enough away from the crowds, watching dolphins play... the list goes on!
