The location was great! Not right on the beach, but a short walk or drive pretty much anywhere. The property was accurate to the listing and beautiful. The whole back yard was a favorite hang-out spot. Clean and safe and would stay again.
Great layout and excellent little touches throughout the property- if you are looking for a cozy beach stay, this is your place!

Thank you for the review Bethany. We are so pleased to hear how great your trip was and how the property was in a good location. We hope you come back and visit with us again soon.
Property was perfect for two. Location is great to walk or bike to the beach and to many restaurants. Duplex was nicely decorated, well stocked, and clean! Would definitely recommend!
My husband and I went here for a quick vacation. The house was close to everything and we walked everywhere. The house was very clean and was perfect for what we were looking for.
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.

Wonderfully clean and equipped, only downside was paper thin walls so you hear everything from adjoining unit. A little far for seniors to walk to the beach, all in all was a great stay !
My Aunt, mom, and I had a wonderful stay here and loved being able to walk to beach, pool, and restaurants. Perfect size for 2-3 people. Make sure to bring laundry soap and/or extra towels because those are not provided.

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 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!

We booked this house after our family had a very difficult month to try to reset and make some good memories. Booking in November we splurged for this place due to the hot tub and firepit in the backyard. Upon arrival the hot tub was literally green and smelled like something died. The firepit also did not work. My kids were heartbroken. After some phone calls they did the right thing and refunded our stay and we rented another house on the island. However it’s unacceptable that the hot tub was so grossly not taken care of.

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with the hot tub and firepit. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially as you were hoping to create special family memories.
As soon as we were made aware, we scheduled pool cleaners to come by and address the hot tub during your stay. That said, we understood your concerns and wanted to make sure you were happy during your stay.
We sincerely apologize this happened and appreciate your feedback—it helps us ensure these issues don’t happen in the future.
Clean, neat, and nicely appointed. Basic kitchen supplies, but got the job done. Nice backyard with outdoor shower, grassy area, grill and fire pit table. Washer and dryer worked well.
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.
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.
