Walk to Beach, Heated Pool Access

Southern Belle Vacation Rentals in Savannah, GA, and Tybee Island, GA provides first-class amenities including access to our exclusive resort-style heated pool located at 19 Silver Avenue, Tybee Island GA. All of our homes are professionally cleaned after each stay, and disinfected using a quaternary disinfectant throughout the entire property prior to each new arrival.

Vacation in This Adorable Cottage

If your dream vacation involves relaxing in your very own beach cottage, this is the house for you. Surf Puppy is a charming little cottage in central Tybee. Just walking up to this home will put you in a vacation mood. Nestled in between other cottages and surrounded by a white picket fence, this cheerful home is a fun pink color with aqua accents. It's shaded by palms and native Tybee pines, and it sits off of a lovely outdoor patio.

Stepping through the front door puts you in a welcoming, cheerful space. We decorate our Tybee Island vacation homes with designer decor that creates the perfect backdrop for your trip. The beach cottage's layout is centered around an open living space. This area contains a living room with a cozy couch and fun wicker furniture. It also has a dining area with a table that seats four and a media area with a flatscreen television. The whole room is decorated in soft, natural hues, perky aqua shades, and refreshing white tones. On the walls, a gallery wall displays local artwork.

The other end of the living space opens onto a fully-equipped kitchen. Like all of our Tybee Island vacation homes, it has an oven, stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher. We also provide all the cooking basics, including pots, pans, knives, dishes, and cups. Smaller appliances like a coffee maker, toaster, and blender add even more functionality to the kitchen. The crisp white cabinets and granite countertop create a relaxing environment for cooking meals with your loved ones. You can enjoy hosting dinner parties at your cottage or save money by whipping up a quick lunch at home.

Get a Great Night's Sleep at Surf Puppy

As one of our mid-sized Tybee vacation rentals, this cottage is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom home. It comfortably sleeps up to four people. The spacious main bedroom contains both a king-sized bed and a twin-sized bed. It's perfect for parents with children or ideal for vacationing groups of friends. The bedroom has a cheerful white, green, and aqua color scheme with plenty of natural light. It also contains several spots for clothing storage and a flatscreen television.

Across from the bedroom is the cottage's bathroom. The walk-in shower is a nice spot to unwind and rinse away sand and salt, and the sink and vanity provide plenty of room to get ready each day.

Our Amenities Make Your Vacation Even Better

In addition to all the basics, our vacation rentals Tybee Island GA also provide some helpful little luxuries. Free parking and automatic check-in let you arrive on your own schedule and come and go with ease. We want to make sure our guests feel at home, so we offer a lot of fresh towels, clean linens, and comfortable bedding. The bathroom is stocked with soap and shampoo while the kitchen has all the tools you need to cook. The whole cottage has heating, air conditioning, Wifi, and satellite television, so you can relax indoors while watching your favorite shows or catching up with friends. To make your life even easier, we also offer helpful appliances like an iron, hair dryer, microwave, and electric kettle.

Surf Puppy is also filled with a lot of great outdoor amenities. Like all our other Tybee vacation rentals, you have access to the Southern Belle swimming pool. This resort-style pool is a great place to nap under a shaded pavilion or swim in a heated pool. The grounds around Surf Puppy are beautifully landscaped and contain plenty of spots to enjoy Tybee's lovely weather. In the front yard, there is a spacious paved patio with Adirondack chairs and tables. It's the ideal place to sip a cup of coffee in the morning, or you can use the grill to cook up a tasty outdoor barbecue. In the backyard, a screened porch offers a shady spot to relax in. There is also a private outdoor shower, so you can rinse off any sand before heading indoors.

A Central Location to Enjoy Tybee

Surf Puppy's location makes it one of the most convenient vacation rentals Tybee Island GA. It's situated right between Mid Beach and South Beach on Tybee. You can choose to go to the southern part of Tybee for tourist attractions and nightlife, or you can go to Mid Beach for surfing, paddleboarding, and other water sports. This area is filled with a lot of fantastic places to eat and things to do. A few favorite options include AJ's Dockside, Fannies on the Beach, and Chamacos Tacos & Surf.

The central location also means Surf Puppy is only a short trip away from northern Tybee. This part of the island is known for being peaceful and laid back. You can go to North Beach to see dolphins, turtles, and other wildlife, or you can visit the Tybee estuaries to see unique Tybee nature. The island is home to many interesting attractions, like the Tybee Island Light Station and Fort Screven. If you get one of our Tybee vacation rentals at the right time of year, you can even check out fun local festivals like the Pirate Fest or the Beach Bum Parade.

This is a charming, pet friendly home. The vivid beachy color scheme and pup theme lends to a wonderful beach ambience. It is convenient to restaurants, bars and the beach, all within walking distance. The property company was wonderful and receptive. Great outside seating as well. We really enjoyed it and will be back!

Cute little cottage, exactly as described and very comfy for two. Loved the fenced yard for our senior dog. **I left 5 stars for the pool because there wasn't an option to skip it (we didn't use the pool), but I'm sure it is just as lovely as the rest of the property.

I rented this property 2 years ago and had a wonderful experience, so I returned this year. I travelled with my husband and 2 dogs. The dryer was broken and whoever comes in to clean did not notice that there was knobs missing. The overall condition of the property was not small dog friendly. The past guest did not pick up their dog’s mess in the yard. It was not really small dog friendly as there were several broken pickets and gaps in the fence and the gate didn’t latch. I had to supervise my dogs every time they went outside. There was a 2 inch blanket of pine needles covering the unpaved outdoor space, the walkway to the outdoor shower was missing boards. The couch is collapsing on itself and the bed creaks every time you move on it. One of the kitchen chairs was broken. It has WiFi but only local channels for tv. It’s in a great location, but the owner needs to invest some money into keeping it up and come by and check on things The condition is so much worse than it was 2 years ago when we stayed there. The management company was quick to answer texts and offered a laundry service. Overall I wasn’t happy with the house.
