The only complaints I had was that the listing said it had an ice maker, it does not. Other than that, it was a beautiful property, right on the beach, a perfect location to everything on the island. If you can bring your bikes or rent them or a golf cart. Parking fees are outrageous so consider biking.

Pros:The old house was very unique and clean. We enjoyed the inside vibe very much. You can't see the beach itself because of the dunes, but the beach was right there at a short distance. It was a gorgeous view either way. The price for 4 nights was decent. Not cheap but not too expensive either. Also the ac was excellent and the hot water was too! Very family friendly place as well. Cons:The street to it is a narrow drive between 2 hotels. It was a little hard to find. There is a huge warp in the 2nd entrance inside the train car part that we kept tripping over. I highly suggest it get repaired before renting it out again. If someone does get hurt, that's an easy lawsuit. Most of the doors wouldn't shut all the way but it wasn't a big deal to us. The front door was a learning experience to open and close... there was a trick to it. But we learned it quickly.

This property reminds me of a pioneer farm house from the 50s.un even floors, basic hooks to lock doors, some doors would not close, low ceilings, no DW, Washer and dryer in a separate un air-conditioned OLD room, witha trolly car add on that was unusual.Beds were very nice, clean and comfy, pillows a plenty, AC worked great, on the beach, BUT, closest access was marked "Private Property". So, do not get too excited by 3 bedrooms, two small bath rooms.Great towels, wash cloths, soap and shampoo free, great water pressure, but drinking water had a strange taste.

Place was very clean, but needs some TLC. Interesting home, but definitely showing its age. My family and I were able to fit ok, but if anyone else is remotely on the larger side, you'd have trouble fitting thru doorways and in the showers. I also did not realize one of the bedrooms is literally thru the master and I did not love that. That was my fault though for not realizing that when I read the description. Also, there were some beach items that previous people have left which was nice but they did not supply beach towels which I would have preferred. Overall not bad, but also not great.

Third year at Tybee

This was our third year visiting Tybee but our first stay at Trolley house. Trolley house was cute and unique with a great location. It comfortably fit our family of 5. We loved getting to easily head to the beach everyday and even when the beach was “busier” we still had plenty of space to have our things and play. We would definitely come back to Trolley House!

Perfection

The Trolley Cottage was a dream come true. Exceeded our expectations; photos can't do justice to the house and the location! We were so impressed with the care given to restoration of the historic center of the property and the tastefulness of the decor and furnishings. And SUPER comfortable beds, sofas, and chairs. We settled right in. I left my phone when we left, and the response was prompt and helpful. Thank goodness! Our only suggestion is to upgrade the stove. A dishwasher would be nice but maybe not feasible in the available space. We were enchanted with our Tybee Trolley stay. Highly recommended for those who value history, beauty, and comfort.

Trolley needs some tender love

So overall, this was a nice place to stay and it was right on the beach. However, I feel that the place needs a little bit of tender love and care. For example, the door was very hard to close and open, and also it took about an hour for us to get the key out of the key lock. We realized that the bed in the master bedroom had a book that was holding it up.which seemed kind of ridiculous. The sofa and the beds need to be replaced as the sofa sank all the way down and the bed gave us both back pain. As I said this place needs some tender love and care to bring up the standards to make it a nicer place for people to stay.

Trolley Time

We absolutely loved the cozy trolley. It was clean and decorated so cute. We had everything we needed. Close to the beach which was wonderful. Quiet. The weather could have cooperated a little (rainy) but we had a wonderful visit. Saw places in Savannah and Charleston. I would recommend the Tybee Trolley to anyone looking for that special place to visit.

This was a great location for the beach and town areas. We really enjoyed the time spent on the beach which was a short walk over the dunes. The beach was not busy and enjoyed the long walks during the day and night.

Problems getting in

The Trolley was a very unique place, but the outside area was not very clean & the grill was broken and could not use. We also could not open the lock to get the key out to open the door. There needs to be instructions on how to open the lock as we had to have someone come & open it for us. We waited over an hour to get in. We also didn't realize that we had no view of the water while using the porch due to the dunes. Something I will consider in future bookings. Also, the beach umbrella was broken & needs to be replaced. Overall, it was a unique experience.

Nothing Else Like It

My wife and I enjoyed a five-day getaway at the Tybee Trolley in mid-June. We were looking for a unique, relaxing experience for our first visit to Tybee Island; this property was just right. The Tybee Trolley is quaint (even a little quirky, as you might expect) but very comfortable and well maintained. As one might expect from the property listing, this is more of an unpretentious beach cabin than a luxury property. But it has everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We liked the location: on a relatively quiet stretch of the island, yet still within walking distance of both south beach/Tybrisa Street (about a mile away) and the north beach area (less than a mile away). We especially enjoyed time on the deck, right in front of the dunes. When the wind was a little too strong for deck time, it was easy to retreat into the porch area or the living area, without losing any of the gorgeous view. The kitchen was well equipped, and the air conditioning, plumbing, appliances, etc., all worked well, with one minor exception. We ran a load of laundry midway through the week and found that the dryer wasn't producing enough warm air to dry the clothes. In all, we had a great time. The Tybee Trolley was an excellent choice for us.
