Eisenhower's Retreat is a restored original Tybee beach cottage. This preferred beach home is documented as a National Historic House with the US Department of the Interior. Staying at this updated beach cottage is a unique experience that you will never forget.

The home is conveniently located a few steps away from the beach and on the island's south end. You will be walking distance away from the famous Tybee pier, shops, and many local restaurants.

The 2000 square feet historic beach cottage features antique décor coupled with the modern conveniences desired in a vacation home. Eisenhower's Retreat is perfect for large families, groups, or couples looking for an authentic vacation experience. Every room features historical architectural features that will remind you of the nostalgia of a beach town of years gone by.

Once you arrive, a large 'Tybee-style' decorated screened-in porch welcomes you. A blanket of vintage pine floors coupled with upscale furnishings is through the home. The large living room features comfortable sofas, a large HD smart tv, and an electric fireplace. Within the large living room is a dining table perfect for a game of cards, board games, or enjoying a meal. Directly connecting to the living room is the kitchen furnished with appliances to compliment the vintage cottage beach vibe.

Eisenhower's Retreat has four bedrooms upstairs with a bonus bedroom on the lower level of the home, with 10ft high ceilings and ceiling fans in each room. Bedroom #1 is the main bedroom with a King bed, an attached full bathroom with a clawfoot tub, and an oversized showerhead. Bedrooms #2 and #3 have Queen beds. Bedroom #4 has two double beds. The 2nd full-size bathroom with a clawfoot tub and an oversized showerhead is off the hallway.
There is a bonus bedroom located downstairs in the basement (must be accessed by walking out of the home, through the front door, down the porch steps, and down the concrete steps to the side of the house) with a Queen bed and two Twin beds. There is a half bathroom on the same level that is off the open-air hallway that goes under the home. Additionally, the bonus bedroom has a TV and a window unit A/C.

The lower level at Eisenhower's Retreat embraces more of the home's fascinating 123+-year-old history. This area is an excellent place to experience, complete with gathering space! To access the lower level of the house, you must go outside – this area does not have direct access from the main level of the home.

    We were surprised with a pool!! It was awesome. The house is 2 houses from the beach. The enclosed porch is great! Needs a new fridge.

    We were at Tybee Island celebrating our adult twins birthday. We had 8 adults and 2 toddlers and there was plenty of room for all. As a matter of fact, there was a room downstairs we did not use, and could have slept 4 more comfortably. We spent most of our time on the fantastic porch! We were close to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. The home is a historical home built in the 1800’s - the floors are not level and the rooms are not perfectly square- reminded me of my grandparents home. We loved the uniqueness and charm of this home- including the “hidden door” to get to the downstairs room. We did spend one day in Savannah which was a quick drive. The house was hard to find when driving in- you can not depend on gps.

    We loved this historical Tybee Island house...especially the sun porch and the large dining/living area. Was a short walk to beach. Would be nice if they added pot holders to the kitchen. And the Dining Roon chairs are in rough shape...spokes kept coming out. We were told there would be laundry soap but didn't find any. Also the WiFi never did work for us the whole week. When the A/C went out and a man came to work on it he left liquid on the floor under the attic door...we thought was water and tried to wipe up so it wouldn't mark the hardwood floors. It was some dark colored liquid, not sure what but we tried to wipe up as best as we could. All in all though I would recommend this place and would book again for my family.

    Great spot for a bunch of friends to reconnect. Our group is now spread all over the country but we managed to come together and this house perfectly fit all of us! The beach was just a short walk away and the double refrigerators gave us plenty of room to stay stocked for snacks and meals.

    We were sad to leave. The pictures do not do this house justice. I’d like to know it’s history. It’s walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The porch was a huge bonus! We’d love to stay here again.

    We were a little afraid of renting anything during a pandemic, but the level of cleanliness in this house was 10 stars...not 5. It was immaculately cleaned! Its a very short walk to the beach, and very close to shops and food. We couldn't recommend this house more highly.
