About this property

Charming, 50's Era Beach Cottage. Pet Friendly. Fenced Yard. Hot Tub.

Welcome to your retreat that's conveniently located close to the beach, to restaurants, and much more! This quaint 1950's era cottage (previously named, Cozy Cottage) is an easy 5 minute walk to the ocean, to several restaurants and to Jaycee Park. It is a great spot to enjoy your Tybee time whether you're seeking quiet solitude or connection to the island community (or a combination of both!)

Hermit Crab's Cottage is a refurbished 2 bedroom, 1 bath bungalow and is ready to welcome guests to Tybee Island! The home offers a full kitchen, living area, and 2 bedrooms furnished with queen size beds. The living room and both bedrooms each have a TV with basic cable and Roku for streaming your favorite entertainment. The bedrooms share a Jack-n-Jill bathroom with a standing shower. For music lovers, there is a quality stereo to play your favorite tunes from your device.

With multiple outdoor spaces, you will be able to enjoy the outside in any weather. There is a fully fenced-in backyard with seating areas and decks in the sun and in the shade. There is a spacious screened porch with comfortable seating and a hot tub (with speakers connected to the inside stereo.) An outdoor fire pit is also located in the backyard to warm you up on a chilly night. There is a gas grill and an outdoor dining set (seating for 4) on the side deck.

Did we mention the hot tub and the outdoor shower? Rinse off after the a hot sandy day at the beach. Warm up those cool winter nights in the hot tub, which is inside the screened porch living area.

This cottage is situated on a quiet street in the North End of Tybee where you can enjoy a restful vacation experience without giving up convenience. This home is a great retreat for a couple, a few close friends, or a small family vacation.

To access the main beach, take an easy stroll just 4 blocks up a quiet unpaved road, with no busy traffic to cross on your way. For the "active life" and families, there is easy access to Jaycee Park with its playground, frisbee golf, basketball court and walking trails. Biking is a joy on the island! (look for specially marked roads in some neighborhoods.) Within a 5-10 minute walk, you will also find several shops and local dining options.

This home is pet-friendly, for an additional fee. Please know ahead, NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON THE BEACH at any time.

Amazing stay on Tybrr
We stayed here for our wedding weekend and loved the space. Clean and well-stocked with clear instructions, all amenities as described, any super friendly communicative hosts. No issues at all! The property was beautiful, the street quiet, and the house had all we needed. Thanks for a great week!

Great stay!
We really enjoyed this little cottage during our three week stay. We spent most of our time on the deck with our morning coffee, a glass of wine, enjoying the birds (lots of osprey!), reading, and playing guitar. Since the weather was a bit chilly at times, the hot tub was a must after a day on the beach or a long bike ride. We had several bonfires, too. The outside areas were great! Such pretty gardens! The beds were super comfortable and the house was well-stocked with almost everything we needed. The location is excellent! Lots of nearby beaches and restaurants. The Polk Street Beach was our favorite. Never crowded and a great spot to watch the container ships or a sunset. The Tybee Post Theater is just a ten minute walk away and we saw five shows during our stay. We parked our car and walked, biked, or took the rented golf cart everywhere we wanted to go. A great stay and we hope to be back again.

Cozy and sweet!
Our family of four loved our stay at the Hermit Crab’s Cottage! The beds were comfy. Everything was clean. The shower pressure was great and never ran out of hot water. We loved the location. Communication with the host was wonderful. The hot tub was very nice. Cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you for sharing your place, Danielsons! Sincerely, The Yorks

Location
The location was great! You could walk to the beach, lighthouse, shops, and restaurants which is important on Tybee because it costs to park almost everywhere. The hot tub was wonderful also.

About the host

Hosted by Mick and Dana Danielson

Host profile image
Hello! We are Mick and Dana, the owners of Hermit Crab's Cottage. We love Tybee Island and we love our little cottage. We also love sharing our place so that others might enjoy Tybee as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We grew up visiting Tybee from Savannah and have always been drawn to living the Tybee Island life. We are now a few steps closer to this after recently buying our idea of "a perfect beach house." We stay in the cottage as much as we can and when we can't, we're delighted we can share this happiness with others.

What makes this property unique

The thing we love the most about our place is the combination of being in a small quiet neighborhood while still having the convenience to the beach, restaurants, the local theater, and much more. It's truly the perfect blend of retreat and community!
