About this property

Coquina Cottage | Pool, Pet Friendly, Short Walk to the Beach

Coquina Cottage, Circa 1935, is a Tybee beach cottage recently restored decorated lovingly with an eclectic mix of fun, new furnishings, and rejuvenated vintage finds throughout the home. The adorable house nods to the past while offering a unique, charming beach vibe throughout the home. A Tybee cottage lover's dream come true.

The 2-story cottage has five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, room to sleep, and up to 12 guests. The first floor is home to the living area with large windows that bring tons of natural light. The living room features a sleeper sofa and a large flat-screen TV. The adjoining dining room has ample seating for up to 10 and connects with the beautiful all-new kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped and features all stainless steel appliances, and farm sink, and a vintage-style dining booth to enjoy a quick meal. The downstairs two bedrooms have a king-size bed and two twin beds - and share the bathroom with a walk-in shower. Also on the first floor is a powder room, half bathroom, and full-size washer and dryer.

The second floor is home to the remaining three bedrooms and a comfortable sitting area with a large flat-screen TV and a delightful screened porch for sipping iced tea on a warm summer's night. Bedroom 3 has a Queen size bed, Bedroom 4 has a King size bed with a TV, and Bedroom 5 has 2 Twin beds. There are two full bathrooms on the second, the first with an all-new walk-in shower; the second has a vintage clawfoot tub with a shower.

This beautiful beach home is owned by New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews. Mary Kay Andrews finds thrift store finds and estate sale antiques that are lovingly restored and add to the eclectic beachy feel throughout the collection.

Fans of Mary Kay Andrews will love the vintage furnishings and antique touches that are a favorite part of the MKA Collection of renovated Tybee Island beach cottages, including Ebbtide, a seven-bedroom home that sleeps up to 16, and Breeze Inn, a 3 Bedroom that sleeps up to 8. When combined with Coquina Cottage, there is a total of 15 bedrooms and enough space for up to 36 guests.

Mary Kay Andrews is pleased to offer an autographed novel for each stay! Learn more about Mary Kay Andrews online at http://marykayandrews.com.

Good property overall

Great location & accommodated our party of 12 very well (8 adults & 4 kids from 3-6). Close walk to beach & loved the 2 living rooms as one became the "kids tv/playroom". Would have given it 5 stars except for a few complaints, nothing major. Pool was very dirty upon arrival. We had to call Tybee Rentals about a air conditioning issues, which they promptly responded to, & told them about the pool at the same time. They said they would send someone to look at, but never did in the 5 days we were there. As pool owners ourselves, we understand that leaves get in the pool with a slight wind. We were fine with that & I cleaned all of the leaves out upon our arrival & continued that at least 2 times every day. But the bottom was covered with dirt & sand almost to the point that no one wanted their kids swimming in it. I used the brush & net & was able to get a lot out after 1.5 hrs in the hot sun on arrival & continued to clean on it every day we were there. Whoever came in after us go the benefit of a much cleaner pool than we did. I think the property managers/owners should ensure that each guest has a clean pool when they arrive for the price we are paying for this property. Other minor complaints that would have greatly improved our experience which I wish there was enough space provided in the review to elaborate on, could have easily been taken care of & would have greatly improved our overall stay. But, on the whole, the property was good for our needs.
