Indulge in joyous family moments and cherished memories at As Time Goes By, a delightful haven boasting wide porches, airy rooms, a spacious heated saltwater pool, and easy access to the beach! This historic gem was named for its original 1920 Tybee Strand Cottage status, preserving its timeless charm while offering modern comforts for an unforgettable stay.

Step inside and immerse yourself in the rich history and character of this home, with hardwood floors, beadboard walls, and tall14' ceilings adorned with transom windows, welcoming in the island's refreshing breeze. The claw foot bathtub and the wide curving porch on three sides exude a sense of nostalgia, inviting you to relax and unwind in style.

Designed by acclaimed preservationist Jane Coslick, As Time Goes By reflects her artistic touch in every detail, from the inviting porch bed perfect for napping, to the cleverly designed built-in bunk room featuring individual reading lights for each bunk. The beautifully curated furnishings exude comfort and beachy charm, showcasing soothing white tones paired with pops of beachy turquoise, pink, orange, and citron through original artwork, vintage furniture finds, and cool lighting from beloved makers such as Stray Dogs Designs and Ro Sham Beaux.

Upon entering, you'll find four steps leading to the main level, where an updated kitchen with island seating for four, a light-filled dining room with space for up to twelve, a laundry area, and a welcoming living room with a large TV. The primary bedroom is also located on this floor, fitted with a king bed and beautiful ensuite full bath. Down the hall, guests will find a guest bedroom with two queen beds and another renovated full bathroom.

Upstairs, a third bedroom with a queen bed features an adjoining reading nook, while the bunk room boasts four twin beds and a shared full bath. The upstairs den beckons with a TV and game table, offering a peek of an ocean view to savor.

The large wraparound porch welcomes you to read, visit, or dine al fresco, complete with a ping pong table for added fun. The large heated saltwater pool becomes the heart of your outdoor experiences, surrounded by a spacious deck with a dining table and an outdoor shower.

Located just one house away from the beach, you can easily access the sandy shores via a private walkway with steps, or opt for the public 13th Street walkover, just a short stroll or drive away.

As Time Goes By was featured by House of Turquoise and showcased on the Tybee Island Tour of Homes in 2019, epitomizing the ideal blend of historic allure and modern comforts for an enchanting Tybee Island retreat.

The house was absolutely gorgeous, well laid out and perfectly decorated with a lovely wrap around porch to enjoy the breeze off the ocean. Everything was neat, clean, and accommodating including insanely comfortable beds. The location is also perfect, walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars, and grocery shopping or just a quick drive up to Savannah. We'd gladly stay here again on our next trip to Tybee!

    The house was perfect for our family. The pool was very clean and being that the weather was cooler, the heated pool was wonderful. We rented bikes and rode them to and from the beach everyday. The kids loved it. We were able to walk to all the restaurants and enjoy the sunsets from the porch. We will be coming back to this beautiful historical home.

    This house was great. Was as advertised and lots of space to hang out. The porch was awesome. We did learn upon arriving that beach chairs were provided at the house. There is not direct beach access but it is a short walk up the street. I would definitely stay here again.

There was plenty of space for all of us and the pool was awesome. I would definitely recommend! The property is a little hard to find so be sure to look for 12th place!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A springtime shake up in our favorite family rental resulted in a move to another Jane Coslick cottage renovation that I’ve had my eye on for a while. “As Time Goes By” proved to be a sweet setting for our traditional Tybee getaway. Wide doorways and passageways on the bottom level was a perfect fit for our youngest daughter who uses a walker. Tybee ‘s commitment to serving physically disabled adults by providing free beach wheelchairs and recently expanding the number of chairs allowed us to keep the chair with us all week. Ping pong and puzzles on the porch. Wide ranging conversations with my grandchildren and their parents (once we all put our devices down). Introducing the kiddos to Celebrity became their obsession. Two rainy days midweek provided a nice break from the rigors of packing for the beach. Quick response by the rental company to a busted air conditioner allowed us to sleep comfortably for the night before a permanent solution was put in place the next day. Kudos to all!

    We had a group of 9 ladies who all had a wonderful time. The house is a very good size and was clean. We used the pool a ton, but were also very close to the beach. It was a plus that the house provided beach towels, chairs, a small cooler, etc. for a beach day. Was also in walking distance to numerous bars, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Would definitely stay again!

The staff is so courteous and accommodating. The home was spotless and well organized:) As time goes by is such a family friendly home offering plenty of space to spread out as well as gather to enjoy each other's company. We thoroughly enjoyed lounging by the pool, a fun night swim, as well as the proximity to such great restraunts, and shops. Thanks again for such a wonderful stay!

    Great Property with a lot of space. We were a party of 10 that included 3 generations. Overall great experience! The pool was a great amenity! Beach access was a bit more difficult than expected. Cleanliness was ok.

    Property was extremely clean and checkin was effortless. The amount of character this home exudes is amazing and the decor gives a comfy, charming appeal. Abundance of porch space provides the perfect place to relax with family and the pool heated to a comfy 90 degrees on some very chilly evenings. Bedrooms are spacious and bathrooms are nicely updated while still providing the feel of a 1920’s home. High ceilings and original doorways provide a historic southern charm that is consistent with Savannah architecture. Restaurants and shops are only a few blocks away and the beach is a one block walk from the home. I would definitely recommend this vacation home and would make it my go to for visits to the Tybee area. Thank you for the unforgettable stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a beautiful, old home! The character of the home has been maintained while the kitchen and baths have been updated to reflect how we live today. There was plenty of room for our party of 9 to spread out while the gathering spaces were large enough for us to all be together comfortably. Having our own private pool was great for our two youngest family members - ages 2 and 7. AND - the gorgeous wrap-around porch was AMAZING! We really appreciated the ping pong table, toys and games which were provided to entertain the kids after days at the beach. We only had one maintenance issue during our week and someone was sent out to fix it within an hour. We will definitely stay at this property again!
