I had toliet issues the evening I arrived. Someone came to fix it but in the morning it wasn't working again. They came back to fix it..it was an inconvenience but it was remedy before I left. I struggled w the door lock for the whole visit.Even though the unit was small & had ac & fan it never felt real cool. The water pressure wasnt that great, more pressure down at the beach. It was nice location for people watching, the beach, within walking distance for restaurants & so forth. I enjoyed the onsite parking.

Cute shabby chic near restaurants, shops and the beach

It was a cozy studio perfect for one person. I enjoyed sitting on the veranda with coffee or a cocktail and watching the world go by. The beach is a literal two minute walk.The unit needs better lighting, though. The high light bulbs are not enough. It also needs another electrical outlet in the bathroom or kitchen area. I had a lot of trouble with the coded deadbolt lock and when I called the property manager they were no help. I ended up leaving the door unlocked while I was away for fear of not being able to get back in.

Good Location but Lacking

Good Location to the beach, restaurants, and retail shops. The room was not well lit. The water was not used as it smelled like sewage. Also, it was very difficult to rest because of the excess outside noise. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

Weekend getaway

This studio was great for being within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, and the beach! If you are looking for a place to relax in between all your Tybee activities this is a great spot. The porch is the perfect place to relax and cool off after a day at the beach!

Good location, terrible room

The “queen bed” is a futon, and a lumpy one at that. The a/c unit has so much mold inside it is likely the next site where they film The Last of Us, not to mention half of it was gone on the outside and it would not get below 77f. Location is great, except for the dude on his motorcycle blasting Ricky Martin at 2am that didn’t want to leave, but we figured it would be noisy being in town. Would be great if they just put a real bed in there and replaced the a/c unit with one from this decade at least.

Great location

I really like the location of the place restaurant close by beach 2 min away couldn’t ask for a better location with everything around rental bikes and shops to only reason why I’m not giving it 5 stars is the bed just needs to be upgraded and the shower head but other than that I’ll be coming back for sure had the best time there thanks a lot for having me

Quaint charming simplicity

This old boarding house is charming. Cozy quarters so close to the beach perfect for a couple! We could hear street noise from bar goers late at night, but we didn't mind.

Don’t stay there!

First, Tybee Island was very enjoyable. Secondly, I very rarely give a negative review. That said, this property should not be listed on VRBO. The listing on VRBO ( I’m sure provided by VACASA) was very misleading. The property CARBO HOUSE is in fact a boarding house. The listing on VRBO is unpacked on the VACASA info received just before our visit. While the VRBO listing showed great reviews for this property, the VACASA listing showed no reviews. I took pictures if you would like them. Someone should visit this property unannounced, check it out and visit Room 13. Now, the room was clean & had plentiful towels. We stayed there and enjoyed Tybee; I suspect many of your clientele likely would not. Enough said. Thank you for the great service you provide. This, I’m sure, is a rare exception. Rick Bealer
