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

My daughter and I had the pleasure of spending a night at the charming Desoto Beach Bed and Breakfast on Tybee Island, Georgia. On the morning of our departure, we were treated to an exquisite, home-cooked breakfast featuring all the classics—eggs, bacon, sausage, and more—truly a delightful way to start the day. The bed and breakfast is housed in a historic building, and you can feel the rich energy and character of the place as soon as you step inside. The highlight of our stay, however, was the innkeeper, Rick. A true Scottish gentleman, Rick even wore a kilt, which initially made me wonder if it was a mere gimmick. But Rick is the real deal—a genuine Scotsman with a passion for history. In fact, he's an adjunct professor at a local college, and we had the pleasure of engaging in an in-depth, two-hour conversation about World War II. His knowledge and enthusiasm for history were captivating. If you're looking for a relaxing retreat with a touch of historical charm, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be recommending Desoto Beach Bed and Breakfast to my parents and in-laws, as I’m confident it will exceed their expectations just as it did ours.

Great location

Location is awesome. It is with a short stroll to the beach. Staff was cordial. Bathroom was dated. Tub showed rust stains. Worst part was the king size bed. Bed felt horrible. Matress has outlived its lifespan a few years ago.

We like the location of the property. Being able to have full beach view is very important to us, at a reasonable price. While the housekeeping was a bit lacking, the staff was very helpful and immediately addressed areas that were not as they should be. We will stay there again and I will recommend it to others.
