Quaint Cottage | Private Pool and Screened-In Porch | Tybee Cottages

Step back in time and embrace the enchanting allure of Bead Cottage, a truly adorable rental cottage originally constructed in 1938, and lovingly preserved by prominent preservationist Jane Coslick in 2004. This private, magical retreat awaits you, just a short stroll away from the sun-kissed beach. Nestled in the heart of Tybee Island, the cottage sits conveniently on the island's designated bike path, inviting you to embark on delightful two-wheeled adventures.

Stepping inside, you'll find a charmingly appointed interior, where comfort and coziness blend seamlessly. The bedroom offers a restful queen-size bed, while the second bedroom boasts two twin beds, perfect for a peaceful night's sleep. The front room offers an additional twin bed, ensuring ample sleeping arrangements for all. The full kitchen is well-equipped, allowing you to prepare delightful meals, and the breakfast area and living room provide a delightful space for gathering and bonding. The bathroom features a standard tub with a shower, providing convenience for your daily routines.

The true gem of Bead Cottage is its large, inviting screened porch, where you'll undoubtedly spend most of your time. Here, a charming dining area invites you to savor meals al fresco, while ample space allows for relaxed cocktail hours, blissful naps, or indulging in a good book inspired by the nearby beach.

As a refreshing oasis, the private 12' by 32' swimming pool beckons for rejuvenation and relaxation, offering a delightful alternative to the beach. It's a perfect fit for young children to frolic and play, and if you desire a warm swim, the pool can be heated upon request for an additional charge. And after a day of sand and sea, take advantage of the outdoor shower with hot and cold water, providing a soothing experience that will leave you feeling refreshed and renewed.

Great little spot. Right in the middle of just about everything. We rented bikes and you could bike to all the major spots in 10 min or less. House was clean and as advertised. Pool was nice and warm. Privacy could be a concern if traveling with friends. Just keep that in mind. Inside was quaint but nowhere really to escape if you needed to have a little privacy. No complaints. We enjoyed it very much

Bead Cottage

We had the greatest time at the Bead Cottage! The check in and out process was extremely easy, the neighborhood and proximity to the beach was great (we used the 9th street beach access boardwalk), and you can’t beat the private pool and screen porch! The neighborhood is so quiet and calm and it was the perfect spot to relax. The cottage is so centrally located that it was so easy to pop over to Savannah and drive over to North or South beach. We had the best stay and we hope to return soon!
