Once inside, you will find the wide-open floor plan living, dining, and kitchen areas.

There are two King suites in this home. Bedroom 1, on the main level, is furnished with a King size bed and has a large flat-screen TV.

Big Wave was perfect for our annual beach vacation with friends and family! Plenty of space for everyone in the home- close to the beach and
a great walkable location to shops and restaurants!
Thank you for choosing Tybee Vacation Rentals! We are so happy to hear you loved your experience. Please let us know when you are ready to come back! It will be our pleasure to welcome you back for a little more Tybee Time.
It poured buckets the whole weekend and we had a blast. Left the place only for brief forays to find food. A great porch to play games on with the family and watch the rain. Close enough to restaurants to walk. Would definitely stay again when we could see the beach

Thank you for your positive review. We are delighted to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time despite the rainy weather. We appreciate your feedback about the porch and the convenience of the nearby restaurants. We look forward to welcoming you back when you can fully enjoy the beach. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are grateful for your business.
We were in town for a week...the house is in a great location off the main drag! Close to everything on the island and only a short drive to Savannah. The house was very clean, the pool and hot tub were great. Everything made for a very enjoyable visit.
Big Wave was great for our family trip. We enjoyed cooking meals together and the screened in porch was wonderful. Although the weather wasn’t quite
Warm enough, we couldn’t resist the pool.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Pretty nice
The ovens do not work properly need to repaire
Gas grill was excellent
Overall it was pretty nice
Overall very happy with my stay. One issue, upon arrival the pool was dirty and had to call to have it cleaned. Also they charge for pool heating and still the pool was not heated very much. Had to call and still the maintenance was not able to increase temperature.
Overall we had a really wonderful experience! The house is in a great location within easy walking distance to both the beaches and the main strip, on a quiet street, beautifully decorated, and has plenty of space for a crowd. Only two very minor issues; the pool wasn't clean when we arrived, but we knew this would be the case as the prop mngr called to inform us their vacuum broke prior to our arrival. The grill also ran out of gas the first time we tried to use it, but they brought us a replacement tank the next morning. Other than that, the only other thing worth noting is there was only a bare minimum of bath towels provided, and the floors were rather sandy upon arrival. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be booking again!

Thanks Sarah for choosing Tybee Vacation Rentals! We are happy that we could address the issues during your stay. Our office is open Monday through Saturday from 9am-6pm as well as Sundays from 10am-5pm to assist with any of your needs. We hope to welcome you back for some Tybee Time soon!
Tybee Vacation Rentals manages this property for the home owners and they weren't great to deal with. We didn't have hot water the first day. They told us that its b/c the hot water heater is located outside and takes minutes to make its way to the showers, but we had two different maintenance guys out and the second one who arrived while we were there told us there was a definite issue. On the second day, the shower in the master bath upstairs simply wouldn't turn on. I communicated with Tybee Vacation Rentals several times. They sent out a maintenance guy who was completely baffled and didn't know how to fix it and said they'd have to send a plumber. Despite repeated follow-ups with Tybee Vacation Rentals, they never sent a plumber and we didn't have use of the shower for the remainder of the trip. When I called after the trip to complain about the lack of service, they explained that there's two handles in the shower and we must have not been using the right one. Which is not true and at all and is completely condescending. They refused to give us any reimbursement for the stay other than return of the $100 service fee. With 8 people staying in the house, loss of one of the showers was less than ideal. And Tybee Vacation Rentals are not helpful nor do they apparently care for return business as they wouldn't do any refund (other than the $100).

We are sorry that your stay was less than perfect. We were happy to send out maintenance to resolve the shower issue, and offer a discount on a future stay as a resolution. Again, we are terribly sorry that this impacted your vacation. We hope to have another opportunity to welcome you back to Tybee Island.
Perfect location, lots of room, loved the double dishwasher, and was thrilled it was right in between the big beach with waves..yet also next to the calm inlet for the little ones to swim in.
We chose this property to enjoy Tybee Island and have a girls weekend. The location was great with a short walk to the beach.
The heated pool was amazing and the perfect temp. There are some small things that need to change like, the toilet seat was broken in the master, the floors needed to be clean a little more, and there was lights out throughout the house. But overall we would recommend this home.
This is a beautiful house and was just right for our family of 9 (parents, teens, and young adults).
