Historic Oceanside Tybee Cottage with Private Pool by Tybee Cottages

Indulge in joyous family moments and cherished memories at "As Time Goes By," a delightful haven boasting wide porches, airy rooms, a spacious heated saltwater pool, and easy access to the beach! This historic gem was named for its original 1920 Tybee Strand Cottage status, preserving its timeless charm while offering modern comforts for an unforgettable stay.

Step inside and immerse yourself in the rich history and character of this home, with hardwood floors, beadboard walls, and tall 14' ceilings adorned with transom windows, welcoming in the island's refreshing breeze. The claw foot bathtub and the wide curving porch on three sides exude a sense of nostalgia, inviting you to relax and unwind in style.

Designed by acclaimed preservationist Jane Coslick, "As Time Goes By" reflects her artistic touch in every detail, from the inviting porch bed perfect for napping, to the cleverly designed built-in bunk room featuring individual reading lights for each bunk. The beautifully curated furnishings exude comfort and beachy charm, showcasing soothing white tones paired with pops of beachy turquoise, pink, orange, and citron through original artwork, vintage furniture finds, and cool lighting from beloved makers such as Stray Dogs Designs and Ro Sham Beaux.

Upon entering, you'll find four steps leading to the main level, where an updated kitchen with island seating for four, a light-filled dining room with space for up to twelve, a laundry area, and a welcoming living room with a large TV. The primary bedroom is also located on this floor, fitted with a king bed and beautiful ensuite full bath. Down the hall, guests will find a guest bedroom with two queen beds and another renovated full bathroom.

Upstairs, a third bedroom with a queen bed features an adjoining reading nook, while the bunk room boasts four twin beds and a shared full bath. The upstairs den beckons with a TV and game table, offering a peek of an ocean view to savor.

The large wraparound porch welcomes you to read, visit, or dine al fresco, complete with a ping pong table for added fun. The large heated saltwater pool becomes the heart of your outdoor experiences, surrounded by a spacious deck with a dining table and an outdoor shower.

Located just one house away from the beach, you can easily access the sandy shores via a private walkway with steps, or opt for the public 13th Street walkover, just a short stroll or drive away.

"As Time Goes By" was featured by House of Turquoise and showcased on the Tybee Island Tour of Homes in 2019, epitomizing the ideal blend of historic allure and modern comforts for an enchanting Tybee Island retreat.

Beautiful Tybee Home
This is a beautiful, clean historic home with charm that just screams “beach house!” Great location. Beautiful pool with plenty of places to relax outdoors, either poolside or on one of the screened porches. The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures - which was a pleasant, unexpected surprise. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Lots of space for everyone in the common areas. Would have given this 5 stars except for the lack of response from the management company when we called to ask about heating the pool. Called and was told someone would call back and they never did. Fortunately, we figured it out ourselves and all was good. Would definitely recommend this home and it will be our first choice when returning to Tybee.

Nice Cottage Very Close to Beach, Pier and Shops/Restaurants
We booked this cottage for our family’s annual beach getaway, and weren’t disappointed. The location is great, off a tiny gravel side street and close to restaurants and shops and of course the beach. The house is spacious, comfortable and well-decorated. Note that this is an OLD HOUSE. When we arrived there was a deep musty smell that concerned us, but we were able to air it out quickly with air fresheners and candles. The doors don’t all close flush (as other guests have noted) and there’s some general wear and tear , mainly on the screened-in porch. None of this bothered us — except the musty smell, which was only temporary— but if you’re looking for a super modern place rather than quaint charm then this probably isn’t the best property for you. It’s also in a very natural area , so if you don’t like bugs you might also want to think twice- esp if you’re visiting in the heart of summer like we did. The pool was amazing, especially since we visited during the hottest month and sometimes it was too hot for even the beach. The house is walkable to a small strip of shops restaurants and ice cream stands , as well as a beautiful fishing pier. It’s accessible to all the Tybee beaches , so if you’re in the mood for quiet, busy, or bustling beaches you’re not too far from any of those options.

Nice house on Tybee, great pool area
Very nice, spacious house that was perfect for our family. The house is nicely decorated, clean, and has everything you need. Our kids loved the pool area, especially the night swims with the lights. House is conveniently located to everything on the island and the walk to beach was pretty short (even with no direct beach access on the street). Hosts were very responsive and easy to work with throughout. Our family had a great stay at the house. Also, we got a golf cart a few days to try some different beach areas on Tybee. The island is very golf cart friendly and carts (at least from Golf Cart Pros) get free parking everywhere on the island, which is nice. Would definitely recommend spending some time in Savannah too (which is a pretty short drive from the house, less than 30 mins).

Amazing vacation in a fantastic house
My extended family of 8 just wrapped up a fantastic week at As Time Goes By. We absolutely loved the house. this house is both serene and whimsical, both with old charm and new, modern conveniences, and was in a great location close to everything, yet felt far from it all. The decor is so very pretty, each room was very comfortable with ample seating/bedding and again comfortable for a group, and kitchen was stocked. Everything was extremely clean and well organized. The wrap around porch/decking is fantastic. There are too many spaces to cozy up in this house to gather as a group or find some alone time. The pool is fantastic and we enjoyed it every single day and you just cannot beat being able to walk so easily to the beach and back and then cool off in the wonderful pool. I envy the family that owns this amazing home! I cannot think of a more perfect beach house. It's everything you'd hope for and more.
