About this property

Just 100 yards from the beach, and right in the center of Tybee Island, The Blue Crab House is exactly where you want to be to enjoy all that this bustling beach town has to offer. The kitchen has been recently renovated, with ample parking for four cars, there is a fenced-in backyard, a hot tub, and a heated salt water pool (***please see notes on heating the pool), all private and at your disposal. Once you park, you can walk anywhere--so put away the car keys, everything you need for a great beach vacation is at your fingertips!

This is a Single Family House...don't let the two doors throw you! It is an old-time beach solution to coming home sandy; direct access to one of the bathroom showers from the outside. There is also an outdoor shower in the back. But make no mistake, this is a stand alone, single family house that will be completely private for you should you choose our place.

***If you are joining us during a cooler month, the pool heater brings the temperature up but it does not make the water hot. Please understand that water can be made about 20 degrees over the average ambient temperature, and that it can only get to about 85 degrees at its warmest. This is a lot better than 40 degrees, believe me, but the water is not hot. There is the hot tub for that!

On the Subject of Golf Carts: We have no problem with you renting one if you are able, but as the house is on the beach side of Butler/Highway 80, you can't always rent a golf cart from the local renters. This is because there are specific rules about where you can cross on Butler given traffic and season. However, as you as so close to everything, and especial close to the beach, we hope this won't be an issue.

Great stay!

We loved the location. An easy walk down to the ocean, over to the store, or into town. On the beach, a stroll to the pier was easy - be sure to bring a bucket to collect shells. We loved the pool and hot tub at the house!!! All the amenities needed were provided!

What a relief

After staying on Tybee last week at a different rental, this was a breath of fresh air. The CLEAN heated pool & hot tub were just what we needed. Safe & maintained after a previous weekend with a dirty hot tub that we never got to use because the host was so unconcerned abt its maintenance & never finished putting the chemicals in. We never would have wasted 3 nights had we been wise to the state of things there. Now we'll know who we can count on if we wish to return. Thank you for preserving that getaway spirit! We were abt to go back home rejuvenated. Thank you for the care you put in. It matters & we see it. Much love!

Crab house in Tybee Island, GA

The pictures of the ‘Crab House’ weren’t exactly accurate. Although the house was very clean, and well kept (pool and hot tub included), the accommodations do not match with the occupancy we brought. We had 6 people…4 adults and 2 teens. The pictures of the second bath does not do it justice…and justice not in a good way. The second bathroom is extremely small. The shower was made for a hobbit/midget/elf. I’ve never used a shower in which I were unable to even move (bending down is next to impossible for a regular sized adult. This bathroom is really a half bath. Also, the house is rather dated. Jack the owner seems like a great guy. My only suggestion to him would be to do a renovation to the home. Definitely renovate that second bath (a real shower would go a long way for comfort), update the cabinetry, new carpet in the bedrooms, and new blankets/comforter…just a thought. As for the location, it’s on a corner lot right on the main strip…there were a couple of “drunks stumbling by” that was a tad worrisome, and comical at the same time. The walk to the beach isn’t too bad…5 mins tops. That was a plus. All in all, it wasn’t a bad stay. The amenities were nice…pool, hot tub, fire pit, backyard with seating for picnicking. October weather in Tybee was really pleasant, and the crowds were nonexistent. The surf was too rough though (bummer). Trips to Savannah for sightseeing was also a plus! That was less than 30 mins away. All in all, it was a good getaway. We had fun.

About the host

Hosted by Jack Dillon

My wife and I met while traveling, and have continued to try to see as much of the world as we can together. We make our home in Savannah, Georgia, now, and have just had our first child. So now the world has to come to us, for a little while. We hope that you enjoy Tybee, as we do, and that this property provides you with a jumping off point to a new adventure.

Why they chose this property

Classic Tybee Island - the house is comfortable and ready to take on all the lounging and family time you could desire.

The recently refurbished interior is cool, clean and inviting. The private back yard has a heated salt water pool, a hot tub, and a fire pit! The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a king bed and an oversized chair that converts to a single bed- great for a young child. There is a queen bed in the second bedroom, and the bunk room features two bunk beds for the kids - as well as a fun reading nook.

The kitchen is expansive! It's fully-equipped and has tons of counter space to prepare meals you can enjoy together either inside or outside. The dining table seats 8 very comfortably.

There are televisions in the main living space, and in the two large bedrooms. The main living space television is a Smart TV, allowing you to input your codes for things like Netflix, HBO Go, and other streaming services. (Remember to Log Out before you check out!)

Coming back from the beach covered in sand? There is both an outdoor shower and direct access to a bathroom from the outside so that everyone can rinse off before coming into the house. (This is why there are two front doors!)

It is a cool, calm, easy space to be in and it will provide you and your family the perfect launchpad for your Tybee Island adventures.

A word about the hot-tub and pool, which we are very happy to share with you. Please act responsibly when using the water elements. Children, elderly, or infirm guests should not be left alone and excessive alcohol use in water can be very dangerous. Read the guidelines, but beyond that please be reasonable and safe. We want you to have a good vacation.

**From May 23rd until August 15th 2020 we only accept SATURDAY to SATURDAY bookings.**

What makes this property unique

The house is private and at your complete disposal. There is room in the closets and bathroom shelves for you to unpack and spread out.

***Additionally, if you are joining us during a cooler month, the pool heater brings the temperature up but it does not make the water hot. Please understand that water can be made about 20 degrees over the average ambient temperature, and that it can only get to about 85 degrees at its warmest. This is a lot better than 40 degrees, believe me, but the water is not hot. There is the hot tub for that!
