About this property

Condo Banana --- Beautiful Beach Bargain--- pet friendly.

1/2 block from beach.

Condo Banana is a private 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom retreat nestled in the heart of North Tybee Island. Just a half-block from the beach and steps from shops and restaurants, this cozy getaway offers all the comforts of home — including WiFi, a smart TV with cable, a well-equipped kitchen, and access to a shared laundry room. You’ll also enjoy complimentary parking for one vehicle, beach supplies, basic essentials, and a charcoal grill. Dog-friendly and just three blocks from Tybee’s iconic lighthouse, it’s the perfect spot for a laid-back coastal escape.

Amenities:
We provide dish ware, cookware, utensils, blender, drip coffee maker, coffee filters, detergent, soaps, paper products, bath towels, linens, shampoo/body wash and some beach supplies.

Beach Supplies:
Beach chairs (quad folding), one beach wagon and one cooler on wheels.

Guest Access:
The entire condo, laundry room and front yard is for guests. Free street parking is available for 1 vehicle via a parking pass.

Interaction with guests:
We use door codes instead of keys, so guests can conveniently skip check-in and enter upon arrival. The owners are available for guest needs but will not be present.

Neighborhood:
The condo is conveniently located 1/2 block from the beach, restaurants, and shops. The beach access point is located to the right of the house, 1/2 block down 2nd Ave.

Getting Around:
Everything on Tybee is within 2-3 miles so there is no public transport. Tybee does offer golf cart rentals, bike rentals, Uber and cabs.

Great Location

The house was smaller than we thought but perfect for 2 people. Our son slept on the pull out couch. Not that comfortable but he made it for a few nights. We booked for the location anyways and it was PERFECT! A bonus was that it was across the street from a really good candy and ice cream shop :)

Down time

We really enjoyed the banana suite at the coral house. Had all we needed for accommodations. Room was clean and decorated nicely. Short walk down to beach restaurants and stores. Definitely would stay there again if we go back to Tybee

Great short stay…

I was visiting my son who attends SCAD who was homesick for mom and the dog! It was great to bring him “home” to chill and watch a Monty Python movie and just decompress from his studies and my work. Thank you for your comfortable cabana. We enjoyed it!

Sisters who love the beach and collecting seashells

The place was very close to the beach, a short, lovely walk. Such a cute little place, so charming, with everything we needed for a great stay. It was clean and we slept very comfortably. Would like to come again next year to the same location, but plan on staying an extra day.

Half way home stop

We attended a wedding in Jupiter Florida and Tybee was a half way back stopping point. Had to cut out a day early due to the winter storm in Virginia but we really enjoyed our time on Tybee - this unit was perfect for our three night stay We hope to go back sometime soon!

Such a great rental property steps from the ocean. A quick drive to downtown where most of the restaurants and shops are. The space was perfect for the two of us and our dog and had a great beachy vibe. Instructions to access the property were easy and it had a binder of "need to know" inside. Highly recommend this beachside vacation rental.

Lovely family stay

The house was prefect for a quick get away, we loved how close we are to the beach. It was just down the street so it took less than 2 minutes. The beach is for locals so no busy crowds. We loved that they did not charge a pet fee and our girls loved the pull out couch right next to the tv for kid movie night.

Short trip for wedding

All was great with the property other than the bed. The bed has a horrible squeaky noise and every time someone turns it wakes the other person up. Stayed 2 nights and final night I was up all night with that squeak. Great location and very clean.

Property was clean and well equipped, but right off the street with so much noise from construction. Pricey for just 17 hours. In the pics it appears that you can get a view of the beach but that’s not possible. All in all it was good for one night.

Fantastic Stay!

We had a fantastic time at condo banana for our honeymoon. Almost everything was as we expected and a great location. We couldn’t get the DVD player to open, so we couldn’t watch any of our dvds that we brought with us, but we did also bring our Roku stick along and the wifi was plenty fast to stream everything we wanted/needed. Kitchen was well-equipped. Neighbors were quiet for the most part. The provided space heaters gave us plenty of heat for a few chilly nights. Bed was a little uncomfortable for us, but mostly because we are used to a memory foam mattress. Overall, condo banana was a fantastic place to stay and met our expectations.

The rental was outstanding. It was just right for 2 humans and 2 dogs. The host anticipated what would be needed to make guests comfortable and everything was perfect. We had everything provided that we would need. Accommodations were top notch. The beach was just a short walk away. Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted on the beach at all, so, we walked the neighborhoods instead. Everyone was very ftiendly and pleasant. A very good stay when all is said and done.

Exactly as pictured!

I wanted an authentic cottage for my city escape and this was exactly it. Easy to park, walkable to the best restaurant on the island (Sundae Cafe), ice cream, and bike rental (so you could explore the rest of the island). I loved that bringing my dog was not an issue with any extra paperwork or fees. My only complaint would be that the bedroom smelled of cigarette smoke from when guests smoke on the patio. Otherwise, I loved that the window units kept the place nice and chilly! I also loved that the fridge was sparkling clean and had fresh, clean ice!
