Nice home! Backyard was super fun. The water pressure was lower. We only had the use of one of the bedrooms, which was odd since it was advertised as 2. Overall, nice property.

Tybee Island fun!

We had a wonderful stay at “walking on sunshine”.The cottage was so well decorated and had everything we needed. However the bed needs a new mattress. 😊 We liked the neighborhood with its close proximity to stores, restaurants and especially the beach. A great place to stay and we’d definitely stay here again!

Great Babymoon Getaway!

Great place for a couple! My wife and I walked to the beach everyday. Located on an excellent part of the island. The house was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of kitchen space to cook your own meals. The bed was comfortable for my 8 month pregnant wife. Would definitely stay here again!

Tybee like a local

Everything about this little gem of a place was as advertised. The bed was not comfortable and difficult to sleep in. Everything else was over the top. Whoever decorated the space does great work. The location is convenient to the southern part of Tybee Island. My family and I were able to walk everywhere. The kitchen and dining table at the house were small, but perfect size for us to cook and eat meals together. All the appliances were brand new and stylish.

Quant place

Place was perfect size for family of 3. Clean and well stocked with basic needs. Had one maintenance issue but manager had someone come out same day and fix it. Only recommendation I have is for them to add a box spring for the bed. No box spring and a thick mattress topper made for an uncomfortable sleep. We kept sinking and rolling into one another. Overall quiet and clean! would stay again!

A lovely well-appointed and convenience space to spend the week

We absolutely loved the space! It was only a few blocks from all the restaurants, attractions and beach. It was very clean, modern looking and fresh. The appliances were new and well appointed. We loved all the natural light that comes into the windows in the sitting area, and it was great to have a washer/dryer to use (although you will need to provide your own detergent). My only complaint was that the bed had no box spring and a memory foam topper that was very soft and uncomfortable. I slept better on the couch, but would love to stay here again if the mattress was upgraded to a medium firm style. Hosts were very responsive to questions!

Cute and cozy Bungalow

We loved this little place! It was just my husband and me, but it does sleep 4. It would be a little too cozy if you were forced to spend a lot of time i side with 4. Kitchen has everything we needed, except for a paring knife, which was missing from the knife block. I think the shower head is a water saver, but I would have liked a little more water from it. Make sure you have hand soap, as it isn't provided. Bed is quite comfortable, but felt a bit tilted. Loved the little storage shelf in the bathroom. It was a bit of a walk to the beach. The little backyard was nice...bring charcoal if you don't want to pay the high prices at the local stores.

Great!

Just the right size for two people and SO close to the beach. We hope to rent the place again next year. Just know that it's half of a double and you can hear the renters next door. Not a big deal if the people aren't too loud.

Our stay

My husband and I visited Tybee for our one year anniversary trip. This property space was in a great location, just a couple blocks from the beach. Place was super clean with a cute beachy feel, although the bed was extremely uncomfortable and the driveway floods completely when it rains. Overall, our experience was good but just prepare yourself for the uncomfortable bed and hopefully it’s not raining when unloading/loading the car because you will be up to your ankles in water.
