Loved the Flip Flop House

The cottage was charming and had so much character. Great location. Close enough to restaurants and bars in Tybee but far enough away where it was quiet and calm. We are already planning our next stay.

Visit to Tybee

What a great place! We met up with family to spend a couple of days in the Savannah and Tybee area. The house had plenty of space for all of us and plenty of furniture to all of us to relax. We can't wait to come back and spend more time in the area.
