Staff was great! It was quiet. It was very clean. I didn’t like the bathroom but we did not ask for handicap accessible. The commode was to low to the floor and the shower had no shelves to put things on and no where to sit the sink was not in the bathroom.

Love this property!!! It was right on the beach. All the staff went above and beyond. They had great information about places to visit both on Tybee and River street. The bed are super comfortable with great pillows. This was a safe location and this time of year it was super quiet. This was one of the best experiences I had on Tybee.

Boardwalk to the beach. Sitting area behind the dunes off the beach. Music playing. Nice place! What would make this place really cool is if the staff had uniforms. Simple matching vests with white or black shorts. All is retro cool and that would just make it.

Although the place could have been a little cleaner I would have given it five stars BUT.... During a long weekend stay we were sitting on the balcony enjoying the view when we heard a knock at the door, before I even got halfway across the room a girl with an empty bucket in her hand came walking through the door with a key in her hand. she seemed stunned that we were there. She claimed that she was there to "check the Phone" This was Saturday afternoon around 1:00 The do not disturb sign was hung on the door. I have to ask myself what was she really there for
