Great vacation cottage, very well kept and clean. The owner was very responsive to questions, answering in under 10 minutes. Loved the back patio and outdoor shower, and the deck had an ocean view where you could see container ships coming in and out. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent location

Our stay started off poorly, as we were not sent info for how to enter the house. We reached out before we arrived, but it took the manager an hour after we arrived at the property to contact us. We reached out via the app, contacted VRBO, and tried to call him to no avail. Once we finally got into the house and had some dinner, we decided to go into the hot tub…but it wasn’t hot. So we had to wait overnight for it to heat up. Given that we reached out ahead of time to confirm that it would be ready for us, we were sorely disappointed. Be prepared to change in the bathroom…between the gaps in the curtains on the bedrooms’ French doors and the mirrors, there’s very little privacy (privacy window clings would be an excellent addition). Sound travels, so not much privacy there either. The house was small but sufficient. It was a tight fit getting our group to sit together at the table or in the living room, but we made it work. The grill worked great! Plenty of electric cookers and pans, but no ice cream scoop. Isn’t that mandatory in a VRBO? And why only 1 extra roll of toilet paper for 8 people for a week stay?The location of this house is perfect! The proximity to the beach, with its short walk through the dunes is why we chose this property and it was everything we expected! The beach is extensive when the tide is out and even though we were there during a busy week, we had ample space to ourselves. All in all, if we return to Tybee Island, we’d stay here again.

Everything you need

Loved all the extras guests can use like bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas. Appreciated the porch swing, rocking chairs on deck and hot tub. Outdoor shower with hot water was amazing to have after going to the beach. Easy walk to multiple restaurants and a convenience store. Easy bike ride to the bike route street and lighthouse. Expect some “old cabin” things like a burner on the stove didn’t heat, drips from an ac vent in the front bedroom, fridge door shelves missing but I wouldn’t have chosen differently. Great cabin location and amenities.

Wonderful location

From the front door it's just steps to the beach on one side and multiple restaurants on the other. It's a small house but all we needed with plenty of sleeping areas, hot tub and an upper deck with great views of the ocean.

Perfect casual beach Getaway

I wanted my grand daughters experience an old fashioned beach home and got my wish. It could use some sprucing up and perhaps new furniture in living room area. It was clean but cushions worn and depressed so making it challenging for my elderly husband to get up since it made his behind lower then his knees! All basic appliances provided. The weather was not cooperative but no one has control of that! I would recommend it to younger family who did not wish to worry about interior being to fancy. Made me wish I was there with my daughters when they were young. Loved the hot tub.

Tybee is great

The location is great - a one minute walk to a beautiful beach. Hot tub that seats eight and rooftop deck. The cottage is definitely vintage 1940's. The space is a tight fit for 7 adults and a baby but everything you need is there. And the island seafood is hard to beat.

Wish We Could Stay Longer

We would absolutely rent this cottage again. It's close to everything, but it's tucked away and you have privacy, even in the hot tub! There's an outdoor shower, which is just smart. The beach is a short walk, less than two minutes, and even there you aren't overrun with vacationers. The house has all the amenities you'll need to rest and relax. The home owners were quick to respond with any texts or calls. Savannah is 20 minutes away, easy to get to, and worth the drive. There is so much Civil War history to learn. It's easy to move around on the island, we walked a lot! You will be glad you rented this home!

Nice place

We really loved the place!! The bugs outside were brutal though. I have so many bites, I just wasn’t expecting that. The mosquitoes and yellow flies were unbearable. Its location is perfect. We were a little disappointed that the hot tub wasn’t working. It is usually a great end of the day stress reliever for my husband and me. Jennie and Frank 😊

Awesome house in great location!

This was the perfect house for my family! So convenient to the beach and other amenities…we didn’t drive all weekend! The icing on the cake was the friendliness and responsiveness of the host, Todd. The A/C went out during Memorial Day weekend and the Todd responded immediately. The A/C was fixed before we got home from the beach! I will absolutely stay here again and try any other property hosted by Todd

Cozy, fun little beach cottage

Todd's place is funky little house with great beach access and wonderful extras, like a roof-top deck, a deluxe spa, fire pit, and all of the beach gear you might need, including well-maintained bicycles, a wagon for beach gear, plenty of chairs, and a beach umbrella. The kitchen is basic but completely serviceable (no dishwasher in this vintage galley kitchen). The beds were really comfortable. We were also able to bring our little dog for an extra fee ($100), which we really appreciated. Great character and charm in general, and excellent communication with our conscientious host! We really loved our stay with our two adult sons, who also enjoyed the space. We would return in a heartbeat!
