Romantic Beach Hideaway ,Private Indoor Hot Tub, Only blocks to River Beaches

Designed for two, the Herons' Nest condo is a private and unique hideaway. Nestled in Tybee's historical Venetian Terrace District and sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Back River Inlet. The Herons' Nest offers a quiet retreat for honeymoons, anniversaries and rest and relaxation for hardworking couples. Lovingly designed by Tybee artists, Fred and Malinda Urvant, the condo reflects their eclectic Art-Deco style of design. Original paintings by the late Soho artist Larry Urvant and photographs by Fred Urvant adorn the walls. Restored Art-Deco furnishings and white tile floors complete the condo's cozy design.

Play on Tybee's scenic Back River Beaches and return to your own private tropical garden to rest and relax. Enjoy a cool drink on your spacious screened porch or soak in the warm waters of your own private 4-person Jacuzzi. Rejuvenate in a soft-water shower and wrap yourself in fluffy towels of Egyptian cotton and sleep on European style linens. Luxury at the beach is only a moment away during your stay at the Herons' Nest.
We invite you to experience the true flavor of Tybee. Beautiful beaches, scenic landscapes, historic sites, excellent cuisine and a laid-back 1950's culture. Since the early 1900's Tybee has been called a utopia and we could not agree more. Please join us at the Herons' Nest where pleasant memories begin.

Great location for two on Tybee! Within walking distance to everything you need & several beach access locations. The Heron’s Nest was very clean & cozy, offering a lot of privacy with its own backyard, outdoor shower, and screened in porch. Beach essentials were provided as well which came in handy. If we come to Tybee again we will look to stay here! Thank you Fred & Malinda!

The Heron's Nest was wonderful - and so close to the Back Beach!

Had a great stay in this beach house. It's clean, cute with various cozy beach accomodations (including a beach wagon and chairs!), and honestly the proximity to the beach is hard to beat for the price too. Would definitely return! A great way to enjoy Tybee.

This is a very cute VRBO, with hot tub and bicycles that you can use.

Unfortunately, we had a lot of rain while we were there with the exception of the last day. The only thing unexpected was the size of the bed in the bedroom. My wife and I are used to king size bed and it was a full size bed, which made it a little Uncomfortable for sleeping. Other than that, everything was perfect.

Great Private Getaway for Celebrating #15

We love Tybee! This property is great for privacy and relaxation. I loved that we stayed within a short bike ride to the beach and the main strip of this quaint little beach town. The 2 bikes came in handy and we enjoyed the November cool weather. Weather was perfect. Sunsets at Tybee are gorgeous. You can tell the owners have this down to a science. Everything you need is at the property. We hope to come back again - maybe next time during the summer season with our little one!
