Perfect quaint cottage. 5 min walk to beach just around the corner via the board walk.Quiet neighborhood, felt safe, clean, crisp linens, absorbent towels, great water pressure. FYI, no dishwasher or beach towels. There were 2x beach chairs. A drip coffee maker, so bring some coffee filters. Highly recommend for a couple or group of 4 in that there is just one bathroom. Enjoy Tybee Island!

Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the cottage’s location, quiet feel, cleanliness, crisp linens, absorbent towels, and water pressure. Appreciate the helpful notes about no dishwasher or beach towels, the two beach chairs, and the drip coffee maker needing filters — we’ll update the listing and guest guide to make those details clearer. Thanks for recommending us for couples or small groups, and we hope to host you again on Tybee Island! The Tybee Cottage

Lovely bungalow near the beach

We found the house to be charming with all the amenities we needed and even it just having 1 bathroom was not a problem for our family of 4. Our favorite part was the 3 minute walk to the beach! The beds were comfortable, the living room as well, and we appreciated the nicely stocked kitchen.

What an adorable bungalow! Perfect location for our couple’s getaway. We did have one mishap when we locked ourselves out when we went out to have coffee on the porch. Beware, the front door automatically locks behind you! Took a walk on the beach until the rental office opened and they came right away with a spare key. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again.

Super adorable cottage

I stayed here with my husband and 3 young children (5, 3, and 6 months). The house had everything we needed. It was also very close to the beach walkway. The set up was super cute and though smaller, the house was set up to maximize the space and we had zero issues staying there.

The stay and cottage was great! The only thing is there is no outdoor lights and on arrival or coming back after dinner it was very dark. We could hear something walking around but could not see. We felt unsafe. Light switches need to be labeled. The TV kept losing connection and the only way to remedy it was to unplug the TV and wait to plug it back in. The internet connection was fine the tv kept dropping the connection.
