About this property

Historic Oceanside Tybee Cottage with Private Pool by Tybee Cottages

Indulge in joyous family moments and cherished memories at "As Time Goes By," a delightful haven boasting wide porches, airy rooms, a spacious heated saltwater pool, and easy access to the beach! This historic gem was named for its original 1920 Tybee Strand Cottage status, preserving its timeless charm while offering modern comforts for an unforgettable stay.

Step inside and immerse yourself in the rich history and character of this home, with hardwood floors, beadboard walls, and tall 14' ceilings adorned with transom windows, welcoming in the island's refreshing breeze. The claw foot bathtub and the wide curving porch on three sides exude a sense of nostalgia, inviting you to relax and unwind in style.

Designed by acclaimed preservationist Jane Coslick, "As Time Goes By" reflects her artistic touch in every detail, from the inviting porch bed perfect for napping, to the cleverly designed built-in bunk room featuring individual reading lights for each bunk. The beautifully curated furnishings exude comfort and beachy charm, showcasing soothing white tones paired with pops of beachy turquoise, pink, orange, and citron through original artwork, vintage furniture finds, and cool lighting from beloved makers such as Stray Dogs Designs and Ro Sham Beaux.

Upon entering, you'll find four steps leading to the main level, where an updated kitchen with island seating for four, a light-filled dining room with space for up to twelve, a laundry area, and a welcoming living room with a large TV. The primary bedroom is also located on this floor, fitted with a king bed and beautiful ensuite full bath. Down the hall, guests will find a guest bedroom with two queen beds and another renovated full bathroom.

Upstairs, a third bedroom with a queen bed features an adjoining reading nook, while the bunk room boasts four twin beds and a shared full bath. The upstairs den beckons with a TV and game table, offering a peek of an ocean view to savor.

The large wraparound porch welcomes you to read, visit, or dine al fresco, complete with a ping pong table for added fun. The large heated saltwater pool becomes the heart of your outdoor experiences, surrounded by a spacious deck with a dining table and an outdoor shower.

Located just one house away from the beach, you can easily access the sandy shores via a private walkway with steps, or opt for the public 13th Street walkover, just a short stroll or drive away.

"As Time Goes By" was featured by House of Turquoise and showcased on the Tybee Island Tour of Homes in 2019, epitomizing the ideal blend of historic allure and modern comforts for an enchanting Tybee Island retreat.

Cozy cottage
House was so pretty and well appointed! Loved the beach feeling and the quiet neighborhood. Outside area with pool and fire pit was great.a little disappointed in the lack of nice restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

NON-heating pool and little privacy
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We specifically booked this experience because of the advertised heated pool, as we were visiting the area in March. It was a bit pricey, but we thought it would be worth it for the heated pool. When the pool was NOT heated, we were very poorly compensated for this lacking amenity.Privacy was also a concern. If you’re looking for bedroom doors that completely shut, this is not the place for you! Doors (including primary bedroom) have rudimentary hook and eye latches, but don’t actually close all the way.Pretty disheartening experience overall. Wish we would have been fairly compensated for the falsely advertised amenities.

Quaint beach home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed this home so much. The pool was great and we loved that it was heated for our fall trip. We could have spent all day on the relaxing porch. There are great areas to sit and enjoy coffee or play games. We love that they had beach chairs and a wagon to bring it all to the beach. The walk to the beach was easy. The home is beautifully decorated and spacious.

Beautiful Tybee Home
This is a beautiful, clean historic home with charm that just screams “beach house!” Great location. Beautiful pool with plenty of places to relax outdoors, either poolside or on one of the screened porches. The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures - which was a pleasant, unexpected surprise. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Lots of space for everyone in the common areas. Would have given this 5 stars except for the lack of response from the management company when we called to ask about heating the pool. Called and was told someone would call back and they never did. Fortunately, we figured it out ourselves and all was good. Would definitely recommend this home and it will be our first choice when returning to Tybee.
