About this property
Lovely retro island studio
Enjoy a memorable visit when you stay in this unique place. This unit is a retired retro hair salon, with Marilyn Monroe and Elvis showcased, & retro mid-century design, that has been newly renovated into a vacation studio with it's retro essence remaining. We're located exactly between Tybee Island Beach and downtown Savannah, 10 minutes each way. Making it ideal to visit both easily. Your kitchenette provides enough for you to enjoy whatever your liking. It has a retro fridge, a cooking combo oven, griddle & coffee pot, also retro, & retro mini blender. Condiments are provided. The faucet is set up with an under counter water filter system. No need for water bottles. There is plenty of storage under the bed & also baskets. A dresser & cabinet for unpacked items, a hanging rack with hangers is provided along with a stream iron. A stool for short people like me, a cabinet for bathroom items & a shower shaving stool - it's easiest to use placing it close to the curtain. Also a small first aid kit but if more is needed just ask. Plus a fire extinguisher, of course. Our neighborhood is very quiet & close to all popular locations, grocery, Bank, bars, restaurants, shopping, nail salons, CBD/THC store, post office, dentist, urgent care, liquor stores & all can realistically be walked to. Except for Walmart, it's a 3-5 minute drive. Anything needed, we're available, just text or call, our #'s given in check-in instructions. Sorry no pets.

Y'all are absolutely fantastic and your communication was amazing! You left the room amazing as well! We would love to have you back anytime. We also have another unit that's a one-bedroom. It's called Island Creek Inn. It has more amenities as well. If you ever need a bigger place, look it up. Thanks again! To get stuck
Perfect location between Savannah and Tybee. We really enjoyed the decor and found that the space had everything we needed. It was very clean and the neighborhood was great. The hosts were very communicative. This VRBO was great for a weekend away!

Well thank you for that! Y'all are welcome back anytime! You were fantastic! Even as far as keeping the place clean. Y'all were amazing!
Me and my wife stayed here for the weekend to get away for a little while and had an amazing time. We have not been to this area and found so many different things to go do, we defintely plan on coming back!
Everything here was just perfect, anything you could ever think of needing was already there ready for us. On top of that, the check in and out process was very simple. If you’re looking to visit Savannah, or Wilmington island itself, look no further than here

Thank you Caleb! I think it should be pretty simple. We are selves have traveled more than most being raised in the airline industry. Lot of places have very little of the simplest things. And I'm so glad you explored our island, Wilmington Island, there's more here than people know. We do hope you come back We do have other tucked away treasures. You're welcome anytime!
We had a great stay at this little gem!!! It’s close to everything we wanted to do. And my brother had SO MUCH FUN looking around the space the hosts provide, finding all the little special, added touches.
We loved this space, & would DEFINITELY be repeat guests!
Located well for us between Tybee Island and Downtown Savannah.
Quiet neighborhood. Unit was tiny, funky and fun
Not on the water but beached not to far away
Karla and Todd are very nice and very responsive to questions and needs

If you're a couple wishing to stay in a quiet place equidistant to the beach or downtown Savannah, this location is ideal. It's within walking distance of restaurants and stores in Wilmington Island's commercial district.The Retro Island Studio apartment is thoughtfully decorated for a unique experience. The room, toilet area and shower are all very small, but comfortable.

The perfect, cozy spot for my wife and I to celebrate our 1-year anniversary! This little spot has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is just a short drive to Tybee Beach and downtown Savannah. Definitely check out Friendship Coffee for amazing food and coffee! Host was very attentive and responded quickly to any correspondence. Check-in was a breeze, as was checking out.
We came to Savanna for the Rascal Flatts concert and couldnt be happier to have the opportunity to stay at this adorable place!!! The owners are super cool and helpful and friendly. They were there if needed and everything needed for our stay was available. Despite being on the smaller side the rental was so cute and great for 2 people!!! Definetly wanting to stay here again!!! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality! hestay was readily available.
This little studio had everything we needed and enough space for 2 adults to fit comfortably. We truly enjoyed our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Made it hard to get out of to start our day. Our hosts were great and made us feel welcomed. It was just a 17 minute drive to Tybee beach. The beach atmosphere was calm, quiet and beautiful. We saw lots of dolphins. It was amazing! We had a great time and would definitely book this studio again!

Thank you so much! We have been very fortunate with amazing guests, including y'all, and we definitely look forward to seeing y'all again! Safe travels always!
This unit was all we needed for our short trip. The hosts were very polite and not invasive. The ceiling fan and light fixture made a huge difference in the July heat! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would book again.
This was great for me. Fine dining to pub food, watching the sunset over Turners Creek from a little pub beside shrimp boats to having coffee in a rocker outside the apartment while beautiful birds take turns at the bird feeder...this place provided me with some of my favorite experiences.
I highly recommend this little jewel in a cool community!
My husband and I wanted to take a mini vacation not far from home. This unique property was perfect. Clean, quiet area and the decor is absolutely adorable. Owners were sweet and quick to respond with any questions we had. The location of this property was a short drive to downtown Savannah and to Tybee Island. Will definitely rent from again.
