Great Stay

We’ve stayed in Tybee before and this was the best place yet. The house was perfectly located on the island; on a quiet street, close to the water, and great views. My family and I will be back again!

Nice low key getaway close to the beach and Savannah

The house was only 100 yards from beach access. Easy 1 mile or less walk to several restaurants and the IGA grocery. The interior was updated and immaculate. The limited grounds around the house were somewhat unkept, but we were there for the beach, local attractions, food and Savannah, so it didnt reallyimpact our stay.

Great Weekend Getaway

We stayed t "Once Upon A Tide" to celebrate my wife's birthday. The house is right off the beach with direct walking access. It was warm and inviting with room to spread-out. The views from the porches were great. I like how it was tucked in off the main road in what felt like a private driveway. I did a lot of cooking and the kitchen had every device you need. I would definitely stay here again.

Clen roomy stay

The home was much closer to the beach than I thought. There were beach chairs and a beach wagon for us to use as well. Its a beautiful very clean home. There is plenty of space in the main living area for us all to gather. I hope to return.

Great location with a nice view.

Overall, it was a nice place. Could have been a little cleaner. There was hair in the bathroom and spots on floors that weren’t cleaned /vacuumed. It does need new bed pillows. The ones there are very flat.

Gorgeous ocean views!

This was a beautiful, CLEAN home with gorgeous ocean views. The house had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with very nice cookware and plenty of dishes/glasses/silverware. We had a group of 8 from 8 months to 72 years and it was perfect for us all! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Great host, communication was quick. Great views from the top balcony. Very close to many restaurants and just steps away to the beach. It was so nice to have a few days away at the beach for fall break. Great living area to accommodate the whole family. Telescope was great to watch the stars the last night when it was clear skies (I’ve added a photo of the satellite we caught while star gazing). And the decks were great for lounging. We didn’t have great weather, but our host informed us to try to go see the lighthouse while it was a little less than ideal for the beach and it didn’t disappoint!

Wonderful Getaway at the ocean

Small family mid winter getaway for a little ocean therapy. Very nice rental. Interior was clean and comfortable. Layout with bedrooms upstairs was perfect for us. View from balconies spectacular. We were much closer to the beach than we had expected! A quick easy walk down a path to the ocean.The outdoor ground space under the decks was messy, not set up, just piles of stuff. Difficult to wash feet and make our way around the junk. If cleaned up I would have rated as 5 star. Despite this I would book this rental again.

Perfect Home for a Family Beach Weekend Get-Away!

Property was immaculately decorated and accessorized! Our family of seven, including three children under the age of 10, had a great time. Plenty of entertaining and relaxing spaces throughout the home, including a ping pong table downstairs which everyone enjoyed. The kitchen was the best stocked we’ve experienced in a rental. The management company was wonderful to work with—extremely thorough and responsive. Will definitely be staying there again!
