Beautiful views from the back porch and dock. Super comfortable house, nicely decorated and furnished (though a bit light on essentials in the kitchen). Very comfortable - we had a great stay - will be back for sure.

Beautiful sunsets

There were 5 of us, myself and my 2 sisters and their husbands. The first thing you saw when you walked in was the beautiful back river water and dock. You could see this whenever in kitchen, dining room and living room. The rooms were all adequate and comfortable. We spent a lot of time sitting on the rocking chairs on the porch enjoying the water. We loved the dock, part of which is covered and had couches and rocking chairs. One of my sisters and I spent a lot of time reading there. We rented a golf cart which made it easy to get Tybee and not have to worry about parking. We grew up on Tybee in the 50's and 60's. We have been coming back for vacations quite frequently for the last 15 years. We will definitely be back.

Awesome location, great family home

Lovely decorated beach home that was just what my family needed. Lots of fishing opportunities to fish on the private dock. Super quick drive to the beach, or a nice leisurely walk if weather permits. Great location and neighborhood! Super communication from home management. We all loved our stay.

This property is the total package!

We spent a long weekend at Beach Music for my mother's 75th birthday and everyone had a wonderful time. There was something for everyone, including board games, TVs and a ping pong table for the kids. The adults enjoyed the well-appointed porches with stunning views and everyone found the home to be equipped with everything we could need to cook, eat and celebrate. We can't wait to go back to this wonderful property!

Beach music a delightful respite in Tybee

Lovely old home - high ceilings, covered porches great location and charm. Walk to beach - sit on the dock and enjoy the island Cleanlinesss could have been better - the sink on the dock was filled with trash from the last guests and there were some aggressive birds on the dock. Overall a lovely experience. I would recommend and use this rental again …..it’s delightful.

Always Perfection

My family and I have stayed at Beach Music several times over the years. We always enjoy the stay. The rooms are comfortable and the location is fantastic. The private dock is a highlight on days with good weather, and we enjoy the living area and dining rooms for games, movies, and reading when we stay in. Always easy and always the perfect place to settle in and relax on the island. We highly recommend Beach Music for anyone traveling to the area!

Loved the house and view!

This was our first time to Tybee Island. We loved this house! It was clean, beautiful and had everything we needed! We spent most of our time on the porch facing the water or on the screened porch playing games. We hoped beach chairs were provided, but we were able to rent brand new chairs from Tim's ($5 per day). We thought the island itself was run down and we were surprised how many people smoked (even indoors). We liked the short drive to Savannah and spent two days exploring the city.

Peaceful spot

The location of the house was perfect for a winter stay. Being on the water, with the dock, made all the difference. Beach easy to reach with light winter parking and within walking distance if not brining anything. Looks like the town and beaches would be very crowded and busy in season. Kitchen had enough supplies to cook meals but minimal dishwasher soap, laundry soap, paper towels and one hand towel to serve too many purposes.

Just perfect!

We loved our stay at Beach Music. Full of charm, we loved the porch the dock (which worked great for bringing our own boat). Be sure to research the access to Tybee Creek with the ebb and flow of high tide. Very difficult to get in at low tide. There is a family of raccoons living on the the roof that I did notify the property management about. They were no real trouble. My only complaint overall was that the garage was a bit of a disaster with all kinds of random stuff lying around. Kayaks were not accessible. Management also told me there was not a grill, but in fact, there was a grill. A bit annoying because we lugged our own along. Also not sure why an elevator is advertised yet not accessible either. Aside from that, it was a LOVELY place to stay.

Great location for outdoor activities!

Great place to fish! Dock is great for fishing, ride and tie up jet skis or boat if you have jet skis/boat, and has outdoor sink and to clean fish and an outdoor shower to rinse off. This house is walking distance to the beach, and has secure parking for cars and/or jet ski/boat trailer under house. Great house for our stay 2 years in a row.

Annual summer trip with friends

The house is charming and quaint. It’s an older home and definitely needs some work but we still enjoyed our stay. The back dock area was a nice treat to fish and relax on in the evenings. The only down fall was the distance to the beach. You definitely need a vehicle or golf cart to haul your things. Too hot and too far to walk with everything.

Charming Cottage!

The cottage was very charming and I was in love after seeing the pine floors! The dock w gazebo is where we spent all our time. It’s set up nicely for avid fishers. Dolphins swam by often and the sunsets were breathtaking. There are paddle boards in the garage that guests can use. Due to Covid, we stayed in and cooked most of our meals, the kitchen, frig and pantry space is tight (there is a second frig in the garage though). Plenty of towels and the beds were super soft and comfy. The kitchen and bathrooms could use a little update, but other than that, it was a great stay!

This property provided access to the creek and the beach was just a short walk. We brought our own boat and it was great to have the dock for easy launching. The house itself accommodated our family of 10. The sunsets are gorgeous!!
