Beach-Chic Apt. for Two - SLEEP NUMBER BED - Porch Rockers - Short Walk to Beach

UPSTAIRS / The tastefully-decorated newly-renovated, Tybee Time apartment has a complete kitchen with stainless appliances combined with the attractive living area that features a full sized sleeper sofa for a plus one. This bed is not suitable for anyone over 6'. Two barrel-shaped, comfortable red sitting chairs are made for relaxing, reading or watching television, which has DVD capabilities. The bedroom accommodates a queen size Sleep Number bed with adjustable firmness mattress. A spacious closet with shelves, suitcase stand and coat racks provide plenty of space for clothing and personal items. The screened porch has two comfortable red rocking chairs that are just right for a relaxing finish to your day in the sun. An energy efficient, ultra quiet Mitsubishi heat pump AC/heat unit offers plenty of heat during cold months and plenty of cold air conditioning in the summer. Ceiling fans inside and on the porch gently move the air as well.

This apartment is just right for a couple or a couple with a small child or two adults and a close friend who doesn't mind sleeping on the sleeper sofa. The downstairs apartment may also be rented to allow for plenty of room for family and friends.

On the south facing wall is an incredibly beautiful ocean life mural designed and painted by world renowned artist Mary Jane Volkmann who was assisted by owner Cathy J. Sakas. On the front of the cottage the sassy Octopus watches over her Lair.

Our nightly rates vary with the seasons and include a two-night minimum, plus hotel/motel taxes & fees (see rates). Discounted weekly and monthly rentals are also available.

Enjoy Tybee’s sand, waves and sun from your own comfortable, adorable, affordable, beach-chic yet tastefully-decorated cottage apartment that has all the amenities! You'll just love it!

Cathy's Octopus Lair is adorable. The space is clean, well-maintained, and filled with cute marine trinkets. The covered porch and rocking chairs are perfect for just relaxing in the shade and watching the local animals. The coolest thing happened. An osprey has moved in to the trees, and has been hanging out. You can hear it call, especially in the morning and evening.

Great getaway on Tybee Island

My wife and I spent 4th of July weekend at the Lair and we had such a a great time! Our host, Cathy, was amazing and gave us great information about the area and the check in process was so simple. The apartment was very clean, and had plenty of space. It is conviniently located close to the beach access and so many great restaurants and shops. If you're looking for a relaxing beach trip, this apartment is an amazing choice.

Cozy, Comfortable, and Clean!

We enjoyed our seven night stay at the Octopus Lair last month. We found the accommodations to be perfect for myself and my husband. Wonderful location close to beach and grocery store. So relaxing rocking on the screened in porch, listening to the morning birds and enjoying the evening sunsets. Cathy responded quickly to any questions we had and the check in/check out was super easy. The washer and dryer on site were very handy as were the beach chairs. Loved watching the bike path activity and experiencing the Tybee Island vibe! Our first visit won’t be our last!

Wonderful

From booking to check out it all went well. The owner was very on top of everything with her descriptions of the property and any extras I had questions about. It located perfect on the block as far as traffic and ease of coming and going. It’s close to everything but not too close to get all the noise. I would rent this property again!

Great place to stay and visit for a while and even make a friend or two! I would highly recommend.We look forward to returning again on our next visit there.

Anniversary Weekend

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. We loved the short walk to the beach and into the town. The screened in porch was a plus, especially to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The only negative issue was the guests that were supposed to move in downstairs apartment on Friday, were given our code for the lockbox. They tried to contact Cathy, but unfortunately were unable to. I spent about a half an hour trying to help them. They ended up leaving and had another rental already in the works. It was definitely an odd situation. Otherwise, everything was exactly as stated Cathy was wonderful and contacted us immediately when we reached out to her. We would definitely stay at this location again and would recommend it to family and friends.

Sometimes you just gotta dance in the rain

The room was fantastic and although it’s a fair walk from a lot of the restaurants, that just means it is a lot quieter at night and it allows you to just sit on the porch and relax (without pests bothering you because it’s screened in!). Unfortunately me and my spouse went during some nasty weather, but at least we were in an absolutely lovely place!
