About this property
Large Back River Beach Home with Private Dock
The Riverlodge Estate
The large home sits on the banks of Tybee Creek, a picturesque waterway not far from the island's Atlantic coast and just a few minutes from shopping, restaurants and attractions. Across the water, you can see Little Tybee Island, a wetland renowned for its diversity of wildlife and flora.
Inside, two complete levels accommodate two separate families with three bedrooms, two baths, a fully stocked kitchen and communal spaces on each floor. On the main floor, a generous screened porch with river views offers plenty of seating, including a bistro table, cushioned benches, picnic tables and a wicker conversation grouping.
Step through gracious French doors into the living area. Comfortable sofas, hardwood floors and a flat-screen television invite you to sit down, breathe deeply and relax.
The dining room boasts a big farmhouse table that seats up to eight. The main-floor kitchen includes a granite-topped island with a breakfast bar that seats three. A full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, range-oven and microwave streamline home-cooked meals. Plates, cups, flatware and cookware fill the cupboards and drawers.
Also, on this level of the Riverlodge, you'll find three spacious bedrooms with queen-sized beds, perfect for any combination of couples and kids. The first features a wall of windows with a street view.
The second bedroom has big windows, a desk and beside tables. The third is a corner bedroom and benefits from windows on two sides. A roomy wardrobe and dresser offer ample storage for your clothes. Both of these bedrooms overlook the main floor deck.
Two full bathrooms are handy to all three bedrooms. Both have a tub/shower combination. A colorful mosaic tile floor distinguishes the first while the second has a cozy, vintage vibe.
Upstairs, an expansive atrium-style ceiling opens up the living spaces. A wrap-around balcony helps you make the most of the spectacular views from your aerie.
Inside, a cozy sitting room with a sectional sofa and TV is a great spot to write postcards or check your email. The dining room overlooks the water, so you can watch passing boats and paddleboarders while you enjoy a family-style meal.
The contemporary kitchen offers all the amenities you'd expect in vacation rentals Tybee Island GA, including a full complement of appliances and fully stocked cupboards. All you have to add are fresh ingredients from Tybee's shops.
Explore further, and you'll find a fabulous master suite. Furnished with an ample king-sized bed plus a twin and trundle, this suite sleeps four and is ideal for a family. There's a chaise lounge and desk in a sitting area by the windows, and a ceiling fan for added comfort at night.
The ensuite bathroom boasts a stone-tiled bath and shower plus plenty of shelves and cubbies. Like guests in all our Tybee Island vacation homes, you'll have plenty of fresh towels to see you through your stay.
The second bedroom has a queen bed and a breathtaking view of the waterfront. Wicker seating, a roomy wardrobe and a ceiling fan complete the charming tableau. The third bedroom provides pair of twin beds. A set of windows overlooks the outdoor seating area. The second bath on this level has a tiled shower and chic, country-style décor.

Whether you're sipping a glass of wine beneath the covered pavilion, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, this scenic riverside perch offers the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature.
Nearby Tybee Island Activities
If you want to get a closer look at the area beyond the creek, take a kayak tour of Little Tybee Island. Strangely enough, the actual 6,780-acre area of this unpopulated wetlands is about twice that of Tybee Island proper. The children and adults in your group will find the native flora and fauna fascinating.
Egrets, herons, storks, and roseate spoonbills are among the waterfowl you're likely to see on your Little Tybee tour. You'll also find stretches of pristine beaches where you can land snd search for shells. Maritime forests are also a part of this diverse ecosystem.
Getting there is as easy as touching base with one of the gear rental and tour companies on Tybee. Tybee Island Charters, for example, caters to Tybee vacation rentals guests. They offer two to four-hour kayak tours and a Sunset Picnic package too.
When you return after an adventurous day, stroll on over to AJ's Dockside Restaurant for a fresh-caught meal. Visit nearby Tybrisa Street for dessert. They're both just a short walk away from the Riverlodge estate.

Beautiful house with a nice dock and great water views!
Lots of room in this house! The house has great views from the back deck and dock! The property management team is very quick to respond to any questions or accommodations!
Good for two families. Good communication with managers. Well stocked. Needs some updates to dock and porch furniture.

Hello Kelly, it was a pleasure hosting you. Thank you for choosing Southern Belle Vacation Rentals. We are so pleased to hear how wonderful your trip was. We appreciate all feedback to improve our property for future guests. We hope you come back and visit us again. - Southern Belle Vacation Rentals Team
Nice place, great location. Good fishing from private dock. Only issues were that to access the second floor you had to go outside, and that most doors, including some bathrooms and bedrooms did not lock and/or were only half doors. “ Think saloon doors. “ Also refrigerator on main floor is totally rusted on outside. It worked fine but gave a bad first impression when getting to house. A good coat of white appliance paint would work wonders. Otherwise house was great. Plenty of room for our family of 13. We rented bikes and we were within a 5-10 min ride to practically anything we wanted, would stay there again!!

Hello Tara, it was a pleasure hosting you. Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable feedback. I have updated the Maintenance Care Coordinator to follow up on the noted issues. We hope you come back and visit with us again. - Southern Belle Vacation Rentals Team
This house was great as a base for our trip to Savannah and Tybee Island. We were in agreement that is was better than being on the larger beachside of the island mainly due to it’s quieter neighborhood and having a dock. It is only a couple houses from beach access which runs along the inlet to the ocean. We loved walking this in the morning and sitting on the dock in the evenings. The house was beautiful and well appointed. Communication was great and it was convenient to everything.
This property was clean and comfortable. Check in process was easy (lock box). It worked well for our large extended family. (Sadly the pool was not heated as advertised as they were waiting for a part.)
Overall nice stay and we would return.
