Lovely location, peculiar kitchen set-up, not very good water flow from bathroom faucet, yard was a little lacking for “pet friendly”. Overall, the neighborhood was quiet and nice for (dog) walking and the accommodations were comfortable. Thank you for allowing me to bring my dog!

The property was clean and check in very easy. Only thing I can say was unique about the property is the levelness of the floors and walls. They are not level in most rooms so it makes you feel kind of off balance when walking around. Overall it’s a cute beach cottage in a great area!

The home was very welcoming, but some small repairs are needed at the house (floors). Additionally, there was a lot of pet hair on the rugs and it got on a lot of my daughter’s clothes. Would recommend and stay again, just a few minor issues.

Cute Beach Cottage

We spent three weeks at Blue Dolphin, and were very pleased with the house. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It is also convenient to many restaurants and to the beach. The hosts were quick to answer any questions we had. I would recommend Blue Dolphin to anyone looking for a nice place to stay on Tybee Island.

Lovely stay

My son and I stayed at the Blue Dolphin house while attending weekend wedding festivities with family. We had planned on a larger group but the hurricane and other circumstances changed who was able to travel. I let Patty know and she was responsive and kind regarding our change in circumstance. The cottage was perfect! It had everything we needed for a stress free stay. We would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to others. Thank you Ed and Patty for a lovely place to stay on Tybee Island!
