The Nautilus

Summary:

The Nautilus is the epitome of southern charm with the modern amenities that will indulge groups of 8!

Our island retreat features a pool, 2 spacious living rooms, 2-story wrap-around porches & a dynamite gourmet kitchen! Dog friendly for 2 pooches!



The Space:

The Nautilus welcomes you with old school southern charm, the ultimate in amenities & is dog friendly & has a salt-water, heated pool!



Our home features 2-story, wrap-around porches, light filled interiors, open & spacious floor plans, hard wood floors and gorgeous pine ceilings. This is a spectacular retreat for families & large groups seeking rest & relaxation and only 1 block from the Atlantic Ocean beaches!



The ground level is for parking up to 5 cars, the POOL, games and outdoor shower. You will enter the home on the 2nd story wrap-around porch resplendent with cushy bed-swings and a plethora of cozy vignettes for dining, relaxing & delighting in the ocean breezes.



The 2nd level of the home has a spacious living room and 3 of your themed guest bedrooms. First is the Pineapple Room with a full size bed, smart TV and full bathroom. The Flamingo & The Seahorse bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bathroom with shower/tub combo and each bedroom has its own vanity in the bedroom! Both bedrooms have memory-foam king beds and wall-mounted smart TVs.



Up to the 3rd, top level you find the deluxe kitchen is equipped with a large granite island & bar seating for 3, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and Jura gourmet espresso/cappuccino maker. Of course, there is also a traditional drip coffee maker for ease. The gas grill is on the porch of this level for the grill master to enjoy.



The light-filled, spacious floor plan is adorned with knotty pine ceilings over the dining area and the second of 2 separate living rooms. Located on this floor is also the master bedroom suite. It boasts a king-size bed with an en-suite bathroom featuring a soaking tub, a step-in shower, a walk-in closet and a smart TV.



The pièce de resistance is of course: the POOL! Enjoy a refreshing dip then catch some rays in the many lounge chairs and tables surrounding the patio. Some can play ping pong or toss some corn hole games. Don’t forget the enclosed outdoor shower! Please rinse off sand after a day at the beach before entering the house or diving into the pool.



The beauty of The Nautilus is in the many spaces people can gather, for solitude or chit-chat. Every detail of this home is well executed and inviting for families and groups of friends seeking a memorable beach vacation.

Spring Break Getaway

What a lovely house!! Perfect for family to gather and so close to the beach!! Was also wonderful being so close to Sugar Shack as we walked down daily! Everything was clean and well kept. Pool was serviced during our stay which was great to get the leaves cleaned up! It was also key paying to keep the pool heated as the ocean water was still cold! Great time, thank you!!

Pool filthy upon arrival, told I had to clean it, I refused, finally cleaned 2 days later but same day cleaned, pool heater then failed, not repaired for entire week. None of the ceiling fans work (claimed Landlord took remotes because confusing to tenants). See May 2025 review for same complaint but told fans programmed. Cleaned heated pool available only 1/2 day. Ran out of gas, no hot water for 1/2 day-again same as in May 2025 review. No screens on any windows or doors. Microwave not useable due to tray (similar to another complaint).
Pool condition upon arrival, entire pool like this.

The house is just as advertised. We enjoyed our stay and relaxed. The kids loved the ping pong table and the pool. The house is beautiful. We loved sitting on the upper porch and enjoying the atmosphere. The beach is just a short walk.

Beautifully decorated home a short walk from the beach

Our family came to this pet friendly rental for a week at the beach. The place is beautifully decorated in beach house decor with plenty of space indoors and outdoors to hang out with family. Our kids enjoyed spending time in the pool when taking a break from the beach which is a short walk away. We would definitely rent again.

Beautiful home!

We had a great visit to Tybee! The house was beautiful and just as pictured. It’s a short walk to the beach and we loved having the pool steps away. The AC on the top floor did go out while we were there but the property manager had someone out the next day to fix. We absolutely loved out visit.

We paid for it to be heated, but it never got warm enough for us to get in, it was like ice. Overall though we would stay here again.

Nautilus review

The property is very nice, clean, well maintained, up to date. Very pleased. There were pool issues so we were disappointed that we could not get the pool clean enough to swim in it. There was some inclement weather but we believe the pool filter was not working as efficiently as it should. Overall, please with property if you don’t care about having a pool.

Started out rough

Communication with the property manager was difficult. When we arrived, the pool company had shocked the pool with chemicals and we were unable to use the pool the first day. We did encounter a few bugs inside and ants around the pool were terrible. There are also some sunken and broken tiles around the pool that are definitely tripping hazards. The property owner was present when we arrived and is a lovely lady. The controls for some of the fans and lights was confusing and there are a LOT of stairs with 3 floors. We did find the beach chairs and umbrella very useful when visiting the beach. We ended up renting a golf cart because the walk to the beach access with difficult for me and our 7 year old on the 99 day. Overall, we did enjoy our stay and this is a lovely home, it just wasn't the best fit for our family of two teenagers, a 7 year old and their Nana (me).

Small things add up

Big-picture wise, the house has a nice layout, plenty of room, location is close to the beach, and we loved the wraparound porches. However, we experienced several issues during our stay last month: - Upstairs AC was not working when we checked in (Tuesday evening); the owner was responsive but the AC wasn't fixed repaired until Friday evening; it was over 80 degrees each day upstairs so sleeping in the master bedroom was difficult given the heat on the floor - The gas supply to the house ran out Sunday (Easter) afternoon; we had to take cold showers before going to dinner that night and were unable to do any of our dirty laundry before leaving the next day - The switches/remotes for the fans/lights had been re-programmed and there was no available documentation for how to use them so adjusting the lights/fans was problematic for the duration of our stay - As communicated to us prior to the trip, the blinds for the bedrooms were on backorder and temporary paper blinds had been put up instead; unfortunately, they were very thin and did not keep the light out of the rooms so it was very bright as soon as the sun came up, which made sleeping past 7 very difficult To their credit, the owners were responsive to these issues and did their best to fix them, and also refunded us one night's stay. We were frustrated that we had so many issues at this pricepoint for a house rental, so we are sharing our experience, but also recognize that it's highly unlikely that such a combination of issues would occur for future guests.
