    Proximity to a truly outstanding beach, and close to a fabulous breakfast place--Mi Vida. Also many convenient places within a few minutes walk for various items you may need. The space is clean and sleeps three comfortably. Quiet back yard and screened in porch out front. Easy to get to Savannah for night life, and also plenty of evening activities on the Island as well. Gracious host who is in constant touch as needed leading up to your trip!

    Very cute and comfortable place, that had everything we needed. We were upstairs, and we loved sitting outside on the screened-in porch. This house is in an ideal location for Tybee Island. Walking distance to everything. One block from a market, two blocks to the main street with all the restaurants, two blocks to the ocean. Perfect!

    We enjoyed our stay at The Lair on Tybee. It was close to everything we were interested in doing, including a fairly short drive into Savannah. Tybee has a very laid back feel and was pretty quiet while we were there. The lair was comfortable and had a good selection of dishes, etc. for cooking. We loved the porch in the evenings. The unit was very clean but there was an interesting scent coming from the rug in the kitchen. My guess is that the former guest spilled something (milk?) and it wasn't obvious until later after it was cleaned. Host was awesome and checked up on us multiple times. While there, the washing machine had broken and it was replaced the next morning. I would recommend this location.

    This was about 5 blocks from beach. Everything seemed dated but for the price it was worth it. It was cheaper than anything else and it suited our needs. If you want high end this is not the place for you. If you want a functional clean place that is worth the money, this is perfect. Cathy will respond quickly if there are any questions. There is no bbq grill which disappointed us but it is also not allowed. Rules are rules. We didn’t care for the sleep number bed and it was to far from the beach for us to walk and take all our junk. Other than that, it was a good rental for us

    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.

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.

    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!

    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!

    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.
