CONTACTLESS CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT

Where mid-century modern charm meets breezy coastal comfort, Cantaloupe Cottage is a delightful retreat nestled on Tybee Island. Built in the 1950s and thoughtfully updated, this pet-friendly home blends vintage character with modern ease — think central AC, flat-screen TVs, and sleek stainless steel appliances. .
Step inside and discover 3 inviting bedrooms, 1.25 bathrooms, and two cozy living areas perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The dining table seats six, ideal for family meals or game nights. This house offers 2 queen bedroom and 1 twin bedroom with 2 twin beds. The central full bathroom has a tub/shower combo. There is an additional shower room right inside the back door, convenient for washing off after day at the beach.
Outside, a fully fenced backyard offers a safe haven for kids and pets to play freely under the island sun. The cottage's side patio is a place where you can relax, enjoy the island breezes, soak up the sunshine, enjoy an outdoor meal, and watch the sunset each evening.
Tucked away on Tybee’s quiet backside, Cantaloupe Cottage offers a peaceful retreat with the best of the island just steps away. Wander a few streets over to discover Alley 3, your gateway to the gentle waters of the Back River—perfect for kayaking, dolphin spotting, or sunset strolls. Head the other direction and you’ll find yourself in the heart of Tybee’s vibrant business district, where local shops, cafes, and the Atlantic Ocean await. Whether you're craving serenity or seaside adventure, this cottage places you perfectly between both worlds.
From its retro touches to its laid-back vibe, Cantaloupe Cottage wraps you in charm and welcomes you to slow down, settle in, and savor the Tybee lifestyle.
