Great location. House accommodated 7 of us just fine. Nice place to stay with a larger family. Didn't end up trying out the pool since it was a bit cold, but it was clean. House can use a little TLC, but other than that no complaints and enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the positive feedback about the location and space for your family. We’re glad to hear the home worked well for your group and that you found the pool clean. We’re sorry the pool was a bit too cold to enjoy and will look into this. We also regret that the house felt like it needed some TLC and will review this carefully.
The property was great! Well stocked with all essentials. Pool could have been cleaned, but overall we had a great stay. Convenient location. I would book again!

Overall the house was lovely. It provided space for everyone. It was close to the beach, dining and Savanah. If you want a true beach town, Tybee Island offers that and everyone in our party loved that ( great beach, no highrise buildings or fast food places).

Cute house which fit 10 family members in total. Everyone had their own bed. Location was perfect for going to the beach. The small pool was also great for those days we wanted to relax. The house was cute and well kept. Would definitely stay here again.

very nice
Great place to stay if you are not on the beach. Pool was small, perfect for our small grandchildren. Only downside; too many small knicknacks when you have small children.

It is a great house! We are glad you enjoyed your stay!
A short walk (less than 5 min) to the beach, in the heart of Tybee Island. But with its charm, coziness and on-site pool, it is tougher to leave for the beach than you would think. Perfect for families that like time together and apart, the space is great and the finishes scream island life without being tacky. You pay for location but will not be disappointed in either property or location.

Hi Phyllis! Thank you for the review! I will pass along your comments about the furniture and see what we can do to resolve the concerns. Thanks again!
We loved this property. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into the decor and flow for families. We had ages 6 to 70+ and all had a wonderful time with the beach nearby. The pool is very small but good for a plunge. Would recommend getting rid of the very scratched-up Teflon pans and upgrading to stainless for safety.

2 friends with 3 kids had a great time at this house. Plenty of space for all and amazing screened in front and back porches. Only reason I can’t give this house 5 stars is that the porches were quite dirty. House was very clean though except stains on the carpet. Great location - just a 5 min walk to the beach! Quiet neighborhood and nice little pool! Would stay again!

Thank you for your feedback. We will work towards improving these maintenance/housekeeping issues that arise. We are happy that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you book with us again for your next vacation.
Had a great 3 generation vacation. The size was perfect and had almost everything you would need. The only down sides were the outdoor shower was broken and the ice maker was too. Other than that it could use a overall refresh for the money that is being charged. But overall a very good experience.

Home Away From Home
The cottage felt more like a house. Very clean and creatively decorated and plenty of room (two screen porches) if one needs to have time by themselves. Short walk to the beach and grocery store, parking for 3 full size vehicles, and in a quite area. The upstairs where two bedrooms and bath was located was very cool, where the downstairs, was a struggle to keep cool. We brought fans which was a help at night.

Thank you for letting us know how your stay was! We enjoy hearing that you had a great time. We hope to see you again soon!
LOVED the location, the house was super cute! We loved our stay!
The only disappointment was the bed/bedroom listings.
The bed listed as a twin is more for a child, not an adult that is 5'3/5'4 or taller. Master bedroom is listed with a king-size bed and it is a queen. Guest bedroom 2 with the twin (not a twin) is also not a queen size bed, more like a double.

Thanks for reviewing your stay. We appreciate your feedback about the bed sizes. We will update the listing to reflect the correct information. We hope you come to stay again soon!
This cottage what is a great place to stay on Tybee Island. The house is clean. There are many interesting little nooks and seating areas to enjoy. It is located in the middle of the island near the less Busy man busy mid beaches A short four blocks to the beach. We would definitely go there again.
The only downside to the location was a rusty shower curtain rod This is managed by Tybee beach Vacation rentals. They did not answer questions we had about the pool or the house. Fyi the pool is not heated. Unfortunately we did not find that out until we got there. The rental company also did not give us their address for which to go pick up the information packet.

Okay, I didn't give 5-Stars on all the incidentals. However, I am giving this home an overall rating of 5. The front porch and the pool area had not been cleaned in what looked like... weeks, but this property is laid-back and charming. We celebrated my mom's 90th birthday here. The small pool was an added plus. The home is 2 short blocks west of the ocean and 2 blocks east of a small city park that was great for my 9 month old granddaughter. The park also has tennis courts that my family used several times. I like Tybee because it is one of the few places you can visit on the coast that hasn't torn down all the quaint homes near the beach and put up multi-million dollar monstrosities. Inside, the property was very clean and relaxing. We had a wonderful time and would definitely like to return to this location!

Thank you for sharing your experience and kind words. We are glad you enjoyed the location, peaceful neighborhood, and pet-friendly setup, and we hope to welcome you again.
My family really enjoyed staying here. The house was dated but cozy and clean. We loved that we could walk to the beach each day. Knick knacks everywhere made me nervous with the kids but we made it through accident free. A few minor issues that property managers responded quickly to. Cable and smart TVs a plus with kids.

Nice property, we wish we could have stayed longer!
We enjoyed our short stay, we tried to stay an additional night or two, but the house was booked. While we had a few problems, they were remedied by us and help from the property manager's office. With the current virus crisis, we really stayed at the property more than previous vacations. The kids really wanted to stay another day, but the property was not available, and other properties that we looked at, that were available, had prices for a couple days that matched or exceeded prices we had paid for a rental house for a week for way less house!
This was the third time we have stayed in this house so we have a good basis for comparison. The Good: Beautiful house; well equipped; great location, enabled great family memories. The Bad: Clumps of dog hair on the floor, food particles on dishes (we recleaned the dirty ones), pool light out, pool filtration system partly inoperative, no beach towels (had them in two previous stays at the same house). The Ugly: Killed four palmetto bugs (flying cockroaches native to the south) over the two weeks we were there. You don't have to post these comments as they are primarily directed at the management company overseeing rentals and property maintenance. The level of excellence experienced in the first two visits in 2015 and 2018 were lacking in the 2020 visit. Still had a great time but think the management company could have paid more attention to cleanliness and pool maintenance.
