About this property

The Idler | Pet Friendly, Fire Pit, Family Retreat

The Idler offers guests an excellent retreat for a family beach vacation or weekend get-a-way on Tybee Island. Located on a large corner lot only two blocks to the nearest beach access, this home is an excellent option for families or couples who desire to take a break and stay idle and relax on Tybee time.

From the entryway on the ground level, a wide staircase greets you and takes you to the main level just up the stairs. This home's open floor plan living area is bright and inviting with lots of windows, comfortable furnishings including a sleeper sofa and a large Smart TV. There is a dining area with a table that seats 4. Just off the living area is a large screened-in porch that is an extension of the living space, complete with a dining table for six and conversational seating. The fully equipped kitchen is open to the dining area with a center island ready to take on your favorite vacation meals.

Both bedrooms have a Queen size bed. There is a large flat-screen TV in one of the bedrooms. The two guest bedrooms share a full bathroom on this level. Downstairs is a full-size washer and dryer, and a second full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Outdoors there is a gas grill, basketball goal, and a fire pit to enjoy.

This cozy Tybee mid-island home is just a short two-block walk to the beach and a short stroll to Tybee's Memorial Park, which offers tennis, basketball, sand volleyball courts, and an island-themed playground. The Idler is on Second Avenue, Tybee Island's dedicated bike path, so be sure to bring your bicycles or plan on renting them while visiting. Touring on two wheels is the best way to see all of Tybee!

Perfect location & home!!
This was our first visit to Tybee Island and won’t be our last! From the seamless check in process to the quick walks (within 2 blocks) to the beach, restaurants and ice cream, everything about this house was perfect! The home itself is so cozy and the screened in porch is where we chilled the most, doing puzzles nonstop. The kitchen is fully stocked and the beds are super comfortable. I can’t say enough good things about this home!!

Perfect location!
If you plan on spending most of your time on the beach, this house is perfect! 3 minute walk to the beach and several restaurants and 3 ice cream shops. I loved that this wasn’t as crowded as the rest of the island. I love Tybee Vacation Rentals! They are polite and tried to be accommodating. I didn’t give this as many stars because the house really showed it’s age. Check in was at 4. They got there at 2 to clean and do maintenance—not enough time to get it all done. I had issues with the dishwasher. I was given a GC and paper plates, utensils, and cups. The dishwasher wasn’t fixed and I ended up washing dishes by hand my last night there. I wouldn’t plan on cooking because the kitchen is bare bones. Plan on eating out and reheating left overs. There is no proper master suite. All the bedrooms share one bathroom. The second bathroom is downstairs. The upstairs bathroom shows it’s age. I will say we loved the outdoor space! We spent lots of time on the time covered porch upstairs.
